    How does one get into mountain biking?

    That was the scariest thing i've seen in a long time... I'm so glad he survived. I wasn't expecting that. no more mountain biking for me - at least no single track downhill courses, off the side of a mountain... that was crazy

    Switching to the Allant + 7S

    Thank you for your post! I feel better now. It's hard being a little shorter, so it's good to hear the assurance that I can still be a trail runner without the formalities. The allant is a really fun bike!

    Switching to the Allant + 7S

    you are an expert on bikes... you pretty much nailed it on this - My LBS had to reroute the cables through the frame and everything. they said it added a lot more height. I'm also thinking now of getting rid of the suspension seat post to get the extra 3 inches of length down on the seat post. I...

    Simple Trek/Bosch battery strategy

    Hmm... now that I think about it, after using the key - I have to remove the battery in order to turn the key again and remove it. I think that's what you're saying you have to do as well, right? I can't just turn the key and remove it before taking out the battery

    Compulsory insurance "likely" on ebikes if 3-class becomes federal law

    I love reading these arguments. I think having a little back and forth is healthy, especially in educating the community on e-bike laws (even if they do change in the future). I won't butt in anymore, but was curious - are you guys/gals all attorneys and/or work in the insurance industry 🤔...

    Compulsory insurance "likely" on ebikes if 3-class becomes federal law

    That would stink... I just got my allant 7S last weekend! I really hope they don't push insurance on us. The thing that I predict happening if they required that (and/or required us to register our bikes as well, similar to how we do cars), most people won't be buying the class 3 bikes anymore...

    Simple Trek/Bosch battery strategy

    Thanks @Dallant , good information! I think in hindsight I would've just asked to upgrade to the 625wh battery from the 500wh powertube. I opted for the range extender since the power speed motor doesn't have as much range on it as the other power series motors. I like the range extender but it...

    Simple Trek/Bosch battery strategy

    @Dallant, sorry I know this thread is old but it's still a relevant question: isn't the 625wh battery only compatible with the allant 8 and 9? I know that you had the technician adjust the bikes, but I thought the 625wh battery wouldn't fit in the allant+7/allant +7S models? That's one of the...

    Any Trekkers using a spare battery to extend your range and hows it working?

    Thanks @Sparky731 for confirming that. My bikes at the shop getting an adjustable stim. If the guy isn't there when I pickup, I'll try to do it myself at home.

    Switching to the Allant + 7S

    Thanks @Dallant! I'll do that this week. I like the way it looks and plus rotating the handle bars with this should fix almost all my issues.

    Switching to the Allant + 7S

    Thanks for the advice! I'll buy the stem raiser and tilt the handlebars up more. So I'm my other trek bikes I've been able to with the small frames. The allant, in not able to. I have three staggered so I have to hop down to stand. The verve I could do the tippy-toes. Is there a way to raise...

    Switching to the Allant + 7S

    I never thought about that. They didn't fit me or anything and I didn't know it was a thing. Maybe I will go ask them. The one problem is I'm already in a small frame so I don't know if they can do anything or not. It sucks being short lol

    Switching to the Allant + 7S

    Hey guys! First day on the new bike! Overall I'm loving the allant! It's what I wanted but just didn't know it. I had a couple questions though if anyone knows 1. The allant has an angled riding position different than the verve. My wrists really hurt and I had to have my hands locked out to...

    Winter riding

    2 things: who else got mad at him for taking out every single spoke in his wheel, lol 🤣 Also, if you do this at home, please wear gloves when handling giant saw blades. Not trying to be a debbie downer but, just don't bare-hand it. Also, Wish I knew metal working like this dude, pretty...

    Any Trekkers using a spare battery to extend your range and hows it working?

    ah, okay.. that is what mine has, as well. Maybe i just need to tighten that bolt to make sure the bolt is hitting the inner power tower. Thanks for the info.

    Any Trekkers using a spare battery to extend your range and hows it working?

    Hey Guys! Just got the new bike today! (I will definitely take pictures tomorrow when i get out riding. ) I had a question about the range booster and this seems like the best thread to ask it on: Does the range-boosted battery lock at all? I got the range booster and the guy from the LBS said...
