    ebike security

    I rarely leave my bike unattended but did have one stolen out of a garage I carelessly left open. My homeowners insurance was ready to pay replacement value for it within two weeks but fortunately the police recovered it.

    Trek Verve + 2 chain is constantly slipping.

    The chain on my Trek Super Commuter was constantly dropping into the small space between the chainring and the motor. I bolted a large washer to the inside of the chainring guard to fill the space. The chain has never dropped again in at least 20,000 miles.

    The only issues I have had are with wear parts like wheels, chains and brake pads. I also have an XM 700 that I let friends ride, it has 11,000 maintenance free miles on the motor.

    Specialized, Trek or Orbea, which one?

    I ride a Trek Super Commuter with the gen 2 motor and it does have significant drag when not assisted, which is why I derestricted it so that as long as I can pedal there is motor support. The bike now has 35,500 miles with no motor issues. The CX motor derestricted would perform well...

    Battery Life Span - Supercommuter
