Hello, I agree with 'harryS'.....From a repair and safety ( electrical) standpoint ) I would try and find a competent Local Bike Shop that services e-bikes and is willing to work one your bike. That may difficult. I'm assuming your bike was purchased from a Big Box Retailer or Online ? Often...

Bosch Batteries and Chargers are some of the best in the Industry, but they're not cheap. Trek uses Bosch Chargers and Bosch Batteries which are UL etc approved. I have two Trek e-bikes, 6 years old 12,000 miles combined. My Bosch Batteries are rock solid, never had a problem. Still delivering...

Lets be clear on the included FB fire Video. My opinion. This is not an e-Bike. This is an e-scooter with massive ( most likely generic ) no name battery, charged on a no name charger. Call this scooter what it is...... Do real e-bike have battery fire, absolutely.

Hello, My 'two cents'.. The #1 thing I would do is contact the bike shop(s) in your area, asking if they will provide on going service and support for your Internet purchased e-bike. If the brand of bike is relevant the Shop will ask. You may also want to ask the Shop if they will do a new bike...

Hello, Thank you 'PCeBiker' for posting the Youtube video of the Scooter / bike exploding and burning. I hope 'Denfox' the original poster sees it....Note to 'Denfox' Lithium Ion Batteries fires / explosions cannot be put out. What is the defective battery used in ?

Hello, Please don't take my comments as an attack or personal. That is absolutely not my intent ! Because of the significant potential lethal fire danger of rewiring the Down Tube Battery I would find a local professional, skilled with the particulars of your bike/battery/motor and charger...

Hello, I have two e-bikes, a mountain and a commuter. I run Schwalbe Flatless for ebikes on both. The Marathon Plus for my commuter and the Marathon MTB on my mountain bike. 12,000 miles combined total and no flats. I ride rail trails and some road on my mtb, no real mountain biking...

Hello, I run Schwalbe Marathon + Flatless tires on both my Trek e-bikes, a XM700+ Commuter and a Powerfly7 MTB..I have no flats in over 7000 miles combined on both sets. Never a flat on the Marathon plus. I strongly recommend you spend some time checking out Schwalbe link below... Schwalbe...

Hello and welcome, You're 67...That makes you you a young'un, I'm 77 and have ridden e-bikes for 6+ years. Getting out and riding is pure joy ! Just like the first time six years ago. I'm glad you checked in. Please return often. All the best, John

Hi Anton, Welcome to EBR. You certainly have some interesting stories. Please check in often and share. All the best, John

Hi Dave, All, I counted the teeth on my Trek XM700+ Commuter chain ring today...20t :) John

Howdy, I misspoke in my original chain ring size. Dummy me, 20T is the crank... From the Trek Website, XM700 "Crank.....Miranda Delta, 20T" Duhhh. I'll count the teeth and report back. Sorry. John

Hey Dave, Great to hear from you. I can't believe I missed your post. Us Trek XM 700 guys have to stick together, there's so few of us... : ) I was unable to physically check my front ring, but will do so tomorrow, Tuesday. In the mean time the Trek XM 700 Specs call for a 20 T ring. John

In my view you made a very wise decision. John

Perhaps I could have done a better job explaining. Simply stated...A QuietKat Jeep type vehicle is in my view an e-Motorcycle, and it should called what I believe it and others like it are. The QK Jeep has a massive 1000W Motor with 160 NM of torque, weighs 75 pounds plus all of the other...

Howdy, I checked out the QuietKat Jeep on QuietKats web site. It looks like a ton of fun... The 'Jeep' seems like a very well thought out, well designed 'e-motorcycle.' In my view this is not an e-bike. Not specifically picking on this product, there are many, but I really wish these...

Hello Herc, You wrote..... "I'd prefer to keep it under 2k, and truly the cheaper the better as I am having a hard time convincing myself it is ok to spend money on this" I'm here to take you out of that mindset : ) If you have the financial means I would push the 2k number to 3k minimum...

Hello, And Welcome. Wow ! The Allant +8S is a great bike. Excellent choice. I have two 'older' Trek e-Bikes and I'm extremely pleased. 11,000 miles with zero problems. Should you be in the market for a suspension seat post, consider the Kenekt Active seat post. I have one on each of my...

Agreed, An e-bike mode can be as simple as a bell, mirror an grips or can be 'full boat.' To the each individual owner it's all special and unique. John
