You takes your chances or you buy from your dealer. We derove 200 miles to get the last bike of its kind in the state. $4550 plus tax, no discounts! LOL

800-mile 5-day ride with backpack-gear on the dualsport trip, 8 points on the north rim of the grand canyon... 1000-mile trip over 5 days, backpack gear on adventure bike, Colorado Rockies tour. Yes, motorbikes make eMTB's seem like a walk in the park. 😁 35-mile out-and-back on...

I had both battery packs out this morning charging on the bench while I cleaned and tuned the two bikes from the last outing, so we could put them in the truck for trip to the beach. I don't remove them very often either, but find it is convenient. Now with the two-bike rack on the new little...

Gazelle looks like a standard type comfort bike. Lots of comparables, like treks townie line, yeah the verve, giant rogue worth a look, spesh como, even rad power city or ride 1 up. Pack on the back rack is really old-tech. Don't get too hung up on price as it is soon forgotten. Test ride as...

Have you guys checked the stats on this thread lately? We hit a hundred pages today. 2000 posts, and 90,000 views. WOW!! o_O Thanks for following along. 🍻 We’re international!

I like them both - both brands, along with Trek, are the standards of the industry. I would choose based on the dealer. I've spent just a little over twelve thousand on Giant bikes in the past year or so - that should tell you something. LOL IMO, the yamaha drive is the best of the best out...

200 miles is a little early, but reasonable place to start if you're gonna DIY • For cleaning them up, I don't really 'wash' my bikes, just a quick spritz of a hose to clear the dirt off the tires and the big chunks of mud and such, wipe them down. I do this after each extended ride. • Chain...

OneUp Seatposts... Let's see...$10 verses $200. I'll see how the stock one does for a bit longer, but surely if it doesn't hold up the new V2 looks like the cat's pajamas. 👍 BTW, one of the very best features the wife likes on her new bike is the dropper post. Mount and dismount is just so...

Uh, no. It would be kind of interesting to install the front end off the Stance though, no? They call this a 'mullet' here. I thought mullet was a haircut. LOL They went with narrow rims on the Stance - 25mm...not sure why. And the rear axle is the old QR from road bikes, not the new 15mm hollow...

Turns out the Stance E+1 eMTB is an outstanding choice for a lot of riders, new or otherwise. It stacks up very favorably to the TranceX for a lot less $$. Sure, it's down-spec a bit in components, and the Sport version of the assist-drive is just slightly less, but performance is nearly that of...

I'll change it for a bit... 😁 Neither are the Hurricanes. But Schwalbe makes really nice tires, they are very nice otherwise. My guess is they would probably do fine as tubeless if the bead would seal well enough. I may try a set and see how they do. BTW, tubes are getting very hard to find...

Went out on the 'loop' yesterday with my grown son, he on my Trance, and I tried out the new Stance. I have already installed Schwalbe Hurricanes on the Stance for the wife's mostly road-going, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to try them out on the trail. To my surprise, they worked...

It's all good as long as everything works. If it doesn't, it if blows up or quits, and YOU built it, YOU have to figure out what went wrong. Hopefully that doesn't ruin it for you like it did for me. I want to RIDE my bikes, not tinker with them. If you can't start on a hill you're in the...

@jdiner - I did end up converting one too, thread here: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/specialized-roll-hub-conversion-q-a.31055/ The bike is now 'three bikes ago' - she is now on a new Giant Stance E+1, some seven thousand dollars later. The good news is that it's easy to resell...

"That won't fit you, and it's VERY expensive." The best revenge always...live your life grandly, in all ways. 😊 We've bought new Trek and Specialized bikes in the past, and they were always just great. We are on set number five over the past 32 years. 👍

I tried to get two different Trek dealers to bring in a Trek Rail5 and none of them would do it. :rolleyes: One said they only bring in the CF bikes cuz that's what their "customers want". Sure. The other said he didn't know if their inventory budget could support it. Yep. So I bought FOUR...

Yeah, my first back injury was falling off a 6' unicycle. Yes, the seat was 2 meters off the ground, chain drive. I used to deliver newspapers on a unicycle, could ride frontward or backward equally well, even sideways by 'manual' as you call it. LOL I ride peg balanced (pedals) from my...

She doesn't "manual"...at all. LOL No, just ride a smooth even circle in both directions - still learning basic balance and control. Will probly try to get her riding lessons/training/class. Especially for any off-road skills. The dropper seat is an entirely new concept for her. She likes it...

Ya, that cassette really has some rings, don't it?? No, she's not faster, this is for my riding. I was surprised to see that 38T primary on the Stance - it's what I've been thinking the Trance should have since I got it. First is simply unusable. The bike should really be able to go 40kmh on...
