Hi Dave, Great to hear from you ! Us Trek XM700 faithful have to stick together, not many of us. I remember your Erie Canal ride. That must have been quite an adventure. You mentioned you've moved to a Giant Toughroad for a little more robustness. That is a very nice bike ! How ironic, I'm...

Thank you for posting Notice the paper signs on the door 'Zelle' and cash only... That should tell you something. This is whole thing is so incredibly scary, but it's The Big Apple. I'd hate to be a Firefighter. John

Hello, I especially like the opening comment from 'Gromike'...Who wrote "I'd suggest buying the best bike you can afford. The best bike is the one you like best riding" My story.... Six years ago I visited my Local Bike Shop. A Trek XM700 Commuter e-bike on the sales floor caught my eye. I'd...

"Buffoonery" is the perfect word for this charging boondogle. Once we get past that, how about we add possibly incredibly dangerous .. https://slate.com/business/2023/02/e-bike-fires-batteries-lithium-ion-explode-new-york-city-delivery-workers.html John

Hello, You wrote "about 2" of snow and 10 miles away 14" "etc etc... Are you sure you're posting to the correct tread ?? What might you be referring to ?? None of this makes sense. Thx John

I'm guessing I've missed something ??? This is the most bizarre post I've ever seen. Strange. Can someone explain ??? Thanks, John

Hi Bob, Welcome ! What a wonderful and inspiring story you've shared. Thank you very much. I searched for your Diamondback Union 2 on Google...A very nice bike. The Bosch Power Train is excellent. I have a older Bosch powered bike and the Bosch has performed flawlessly. It's so smooth. How...

I did a quick Google search for the Mototric 500. I'm no expert, but this 'thing' looks extremely scary and possibly unsafe with the tiny rear wheels and tall-ish. seat. Scary meaning could tip over while turning with very little effort. The wheelbase appears appears very short as well. I...

Hello, Here's my story, I hope it helps.... I'm 76 and own / ride two 5 year old e-bikes. A Trek XM 700 Commuter and a Trek Powerfly 7 Hardtail Mountain bike, Both bikes, Bosch Power Trains Mid Drives. Total miles 10,000. I have not had a single problem in 5 years. I ride rail to trails...

Oh it's not an e-Bike, it's an e-Motorcycle. Probably a lot of fun in the right circumstances... Old logging roads, abandon quarries, power line fire roads etc. Most EBR folks ride, rails to trails, very gentle dirt paths, safe cautious road riding etc. Most of us are 'long in the tooth' :)...

Scum poachers using 'e-bikes'. Let me correct the story......Poachers using 'electric motorcycles'. Perhaps similar to the very high power Surron type off road 'electric motorcycles' currently being discussed on this forum ? Hmmmm ...

This is a moped, an e-scooter, or a mini motorcycle...Pick one ! This is NOT AN E-BIKE !! No way any day. It's stuff like this that gives responsible e-bikers and their true e-bikes a bad name. I have nothing against a 'vehicle' like this, just call it what it is and it's not an e-bike ...

I strongly support poster J.R. comment as well as others and think bringing your damaged battery (case) to a knowledgeable Bosch e-Bike shop is a great idea. From the picture you provided, the battery case was dropped (?) and cracked. There could be internal damage to a battery. (?) Damaged...

Hello, Check out SpeedBox Tuning link below to see if they make a product for your motor / bike. I've used their delimiter for my Bosch motor and the dongle has worked perfectly for four years. Good luck, John https://www.speedbox-tuning.com/

Welcome to the Forum. Very sharp looking bike !

Welcome to the Forum, Wow ! What a great looking bike. Check back in often. John

Hello Lawrence, You wrote..."Less than 24 hours later I realized I made a mistake and canceled my purchase." Focus on that simple statement. When you purchased your bike approximately 24 earlier did you read or ask what the company return policy was ? You mentioned the $98 return charge, but...

Hello JennG, I've purchased two hitches from etrailor.com. There are a great American based company and they know hitches. I'd call and hear what they have to say. Your Mercedes Service Manager also should also have Bulletin on any technical reasons why it appears your model cannot accept a...

I completely agree. I respect the 80/20 charge routine and those that use it. I actually used the 80/20 for while myself, but finally said. "I bought my bike to ride" and wasn't comfortable 'leaving' 40% of my battery power unused. Yes a brand name battery ( Bosch) in my case is expensive...

Hello Kathy, I had the exact same reaction as Rich C about a short 1.6 mile flat commute and an e-bike. I didn't read his reply as condescending and my reply is not intended to be either. I don't know Rich C, but he's extremely knowledgeable and well spoken. I think he had a reasonable...
