Hello Lawrence, You wrote..."Less than 24 hours later I realized I made a mistake and canceled my purchase." Focus on that simple statement. When you purchased your bike approximately 24 earlier did you read or ask what the company return policy was ? You mentioned the $98 return charge, but...

Hello JennG, I've purchased two hitches from etrailor.com. There are a great American based company and they know hitches. I'd call and hear what they have to say. Your Mercedes Service Manager also should also have Bulletin on any technical reasons why it appears your model cannot accept a...

I completely agree. I respect the 80/20 charge routine and those that use it. I actually used the 80/20 for while myself, but finally said. "I bought my bike to ride" and wasn't comfortable 'leaving' 40% of my battery power unused. Yes a brand name battery ( Bosch) in my case is expensive...

Hello Kathy, I had the exact same reaction as Rich C about a short 1.6 mile flat commute and an e-bike. I didn't read his reply as condescending and my reply is not intended to be either. I don't know Rich C, but he's extremely knowledgeable and well spoken. I think he had a reasonable...

Hello, Slightly off topic.. I have two e-Bikes, a Class 2 and a Class 3. Total miles ridden in 4 years 8500-ish. I ride Rail Trails and limited paved roads. Not a single problem, issue, question ever from Law Enforcement in four years . I am very concerned about the sub $1000 'e-scooters' aka...

Hello, What beautiful bike ! Love the color. You've made an excellent choice. I'm seriously considering an Allant + as well. I haven't decided on the model. You asked about Security/Theft Protection. That's a very broad subject. Since you have Panniers, my choice for security would be a 10mm...

Hello, I have Schwalbe Marathon - Plus Tires on both my Trek XM700 Commuter eBike Commuter and love 'em. https://www.schwalbetires.com/bike_tires/road_tires/Marathon_Plus_HS440 Good luck, John

Howdy, A quick comment/question on mid-drives and chains snapping. I have two Trek e-bikes, a commuter and a MTB. Both have Bosch Mid Drives (Which I love) I ride exclusively on Rail to Trails and limited paved roads. Total milage on both bikes just shy of 9000 miles. Never had a Chain Break...

I take the question from Rich C at face value, not a slam or dig at some on who is dealing with a physical or mental challenge. Case in point. I ride rail to trails on a Trek Powerfly7 e-mtb. 29" wheels. It's a 'big' bike. I'm 75 years old with no physical or mental issues. Never crashed, but...

The debate of e-bikes being restricted has been going on forever. I have one simple question.... Has any e-biker reading this post ever been stopped or restricted by law enforcement while riding safely and at an appropriate speed on a trail marked 'No motor vehicles' etc? I'm not talking...

I agree with Rich C. I live in central CT, 75 years old ride, have two Trek Bosch Powered mid drives and love them. I exclusively ride my Trek Powerfly7 MTB on Rail Trails ( no single track ) and some road. The bike will climb a brick wall. Nothing stops it ! The Bosch Mid Drive is 500 Watts...

Hello and Welcome ! Tell us a little of what eBike riding is like on Pender Island BC. John

Overkill ?? I don't think so. I'd go for 'em. You and only you have to feel good ( and safe ) about your decision.

I'm reading the 'reviews' posted by New Member Blaine and they have consistent over the top, spam like theme to them. Are the posts real, from a real user ? John

The link you recently posted works and shows the review of the ElectroBike Dash which I'm sure will help with any technical information others may share. Thanks

The link to the bike you purchased is dead. What brand of bike did you by. What is the model ?

Hmmm, Very interesting. I will definitely check tomorrow. Thank you ! John

I ride a 2017 Trek Powerfly7 E-MTB, Rail Trails and limited roads. No single track period. I love this bike ! I'm seriously considering changing out the stock 29" rims for 26" rims and I'm looking for your thoughts and or suggestions. My goal is to get the bike closer to the ground. The back...

Howdy, Makes complete sense to me. As I said earlier, in my view you chose 4 top e-bike companies. No 'bad' bikes from any of them. Please check back in when you receive your bike and have gone of a few rides. All the best, John

Hello, Wow ! I must say I'm surprised to hear you've cancelled your Trek PF4 . Don't get me wrong, the Giant TRANCE XE+pro is a stunning bike. If I may ask what caused your change. The FS of the Giant ? Thanks, John
