The stagger is not any different other than an improved stand over height. I stopped riding a road bike about 25 years ago. Did not ride at all until late 2017 when I bought my first ebike. Along with my neck issues, I also have COPD and a little more upright position helps me breathe better...

I also have the 8S, and have neck issues that I attribute to my road bike days. I do intended to modify The 8s to a somewhat more upright riding position and may likely need to do some cable modifications.

I suspect we will see significant and permanent changes in telecommuting. Many businesses are taking a hard look at the value and savings associated in WFH. The cost per square foot of commercial property can be substantial. The attraction for jobs that do not require the use of public...

Yes, I figured the cables will need to be changed. The current problem is the shop is so busy that it may take awhile to get it done. Also the service department said there is a delay in getting a riser. I do believe that other Trek stores may have them. As I spend more time with the COBI app...

I’m now on my third ebike by purchasing the Allant+ 8S on Friday. I have been looking at all of the interesting comments and feedback about the new Allant series and finally pulled the trigger on it. The Trek LBS had just gotten it and it was of course still in the box. The store was...

I’m going on my third season with the Thule easy fold and have made several trips from Chicago area to SW Florida With two heavy ebikes. As mentioned, it is pricey but worth it.

I have been on thinners for almost four years. I do carry a first aid kit for an occasional cut or abrasion. The worst situation was when I came flying over the handlebars to avoid getting hit by a car and landed on my belly. My belly acted as an air bag and my ego was hurt more than anything...

I have a Townie Go 8I and also the Townie Commute Go. You will really enjoy the comfort, reliability and performance of the Townie Go. There are plenty of them in Southwest Florida

Did you get an approximate delivery date for the Allant 9/9s?

I have not seen any ebikes yet, but have frequently seen the Amish riding horse drawn buggies pulling fishing boats with 20hp outboards on them.

It is a forward pedal, but not as extreme as the Townie Go.

I have the commute go. Great bike Comfortable Reliable Disc brakes Internal rear hub Intuvia display Bosch performance mid-drive Owned and sold by Trek, so there is a great dealer and service network for Electra Townies

I know what you mean about the Townie go. It is a great neighborhood and short errand bike but lacking in riding inclines and somewhat slow. My wife still has hers, and I sold mine and purchased the Townie Commute. It is very upright with the swept back handlebars, has 700c wheels and the mid...

That’s true, but I have used this rack to transport my two townies in my 1300 mile drive from the Midwest to southwest Florida and back every year and never had an issue with it. I agree with Alaskan that the bikes go into the hotel room with me. Easy on and easy off is the other great feature...

I was loading my bike at the store when an older fella (well older than me) came up and said I was cheating. I laughed and asked how many gears he had on his bike, and he replied that he had 21. I told him that’s cheating since I only have 8. He smiled, laughed and walked away. No hard feelings.

I don’t think you have to worry about Bosch going away anytime soon. They are a very large and successful international company that plays a very dominate role in the industry. They have substantial dealer networks (Trek for example) that have significant service support. It does appear that...

Its good to hear you are still happy with the Verve+. I test rode one last year and was very impressed with the comfort and weight. I don’t think you can go wrong with the Bosch mid-drive. My wife has the Townie Go which is an excellent bike with the Bosch performance motor, but the bike...

Sunset over Sanibel Island from the mainland

Fat tire bike with a Burley trailer for the kids. I have seen that on the beach by me.
