    Trek Checkpoint Plus Range?

    It was a four corner circuit of just over eight miles each lap, so sometimes a block headwind, then side wind and tail wind. I may go over to the Trek dealer and see what the owner has to say. (Not a Trek owned store). They do make a spare battery for it that's 160 wh but it's probably 700...

    Trek Checkpoint Plus Range?

    This could very well be a "how long is a piece of string?" question. And if it is, I understand. I have an Allant 8s that I use for errands and the occasional zone 2 ride in-between my hard, non electric road/gravel bike rides. I'm considering a Trek Checkpoint Plus SL5 e-gravel bike but...

    Ode to the Trek Allant+ 8s

    I bought an Allant+ 8s Stagger for 2499.00 and feel it's a great value. As with anything, buying in when something is brand new always comes at a cost.

    Some thoughts on using an ebike for Z2 training

    It works. I have an Allant+ 8S that I use for around town errands and Z2 training days, especially after hard ride days. I also live where there's a hill whatever direction I go. I only use enough power to keep me in Z2 but do bump it up on the climbs. I opted for the Allant vs a an e road...

    New Trek Allant 8S Stagger Owner

    I'm one of the orginal authors of that training program, I first taught it in Dayton, Ohio. That's a good video, the training lasts 4 days, our school is 5 days. I still attend/teach at our school even though I'm retired. Truth be told, I stand around a lot. As to the TV show Pacific Blue, I...

    Trek Allant+ 8S Rear Derailleur Hanger

    Beside the Trek dealer, does anyone know where to locate a Trek Allant+ 8S rear derailleur hanger? Not the result of a crash, I want to have a spare given that it's not a UDH.

    New Trek Allant 8S Stagger Owner

    My career was at the Dayton, Ohio Police Department and I was fortunate enough to be one of the founders of this organization: https://ipmba.org/ Yes, there are many skills used in police cycling that make transportation/recreational cycling a lot easier. If you go into the "history" (I think)...

    New Trek Allant 8S Stagger Owner

    I went to the Trek site and downloaded the pdf for the display I have. It looks like the only display screen is the one that comes up. Not mentioned, but I'm guessing the left/right & select buttons are only active if you have a phone/app connected. I use the bike for transportation so...

    New Trek Allant 8S Stagger Owner

    My intention is to NOT ride without lights, I just want to know if they can be turned off. I use my headlight/flasher for my regular drop bar road bikes as well as a Garmin Varia taillight/radar, both are moved to the Allant when riding it. As far as riding without lights, I can't count the...

    New Trek Allant 8S Stagger Owner

    I've done some internet research and can't find the answer to this. What to the sideways arrow buttons do on the mode control do? Also, is there just one screen on the bike display (not using a phone) no miles traveled or ODO? Thanks

    New Trek Allant 8S Stagger Owner

    Thanks for the response ;) I see you're using yours to good effect. Seeing a pic of your bike has given me some ideas. A mirror for sure and I think you have a Garmin Varia as well. I'm going to contact the dealer re the extra battery set up as well as looking to source a one wheel cargo...

    New Trek Allant 8S Stagger Owner

    I finally took the plunge. My local bike shop has Trek Allant+ 8s (and Stagger) for 2500 bucks. I've been eyeing them for a while to use as a small town commuter and for my GF ride while I train on my road bike. Given that, I went for the Stagger version because the lower stand over height...

    Rode the Specialized Turbo Creo SL Comp

    Thanks. I guess that's the result of the manufacturer being in another country.
