Hello, Slightly off topic.. I have two e-Bikes, a Class 2 and a Class 3. Total miles ridden in 4 years 8500-ish. I ride Rail Trails and limited paved roads. Not a single problem, issue, question ever from Law Enforcement in four years . I am very concerned about the sub $1000 'e-scooters' aka...

Hello, What beautiful bike ! Love the color. You've made an excellent choice. I'm seriously considering an Allant + as well. I haven't decided on the model. You asked about Security/Theft Protection. That's a very broad subject. Since you have Panniers, my choice for security would be a 10mm...

Hello, I have Schwalbe Marathon - Plus Tires on both my Trek XM700 Commuter eBike Commuter and love 'em. https://www.schwalbetires.com/bike_tires/road_tires/Marathon_Plus_HS440 Good luck, John

Howdy, A quick comment/question on mid-drives and chains snapping. I have two Trek e-bikes, a commuter and a MTB. Both have Bosch Mid Drives (Which I love) I ride exclusively on Rail to Trails and limited paved roads. Total milage on both bikes just shy of 9000 miles. Never had a Chain Break...

I take the question from Rich C at face value, not a slam or dig at some on who is dealing with a physical or mental challenge. Case in point. I ride rail to trails on a Trek Powerfly7 e-mtb. 29" wheels. It's a 'big' bike. I'm 75 years old with no physical or mental issues. Never crashed, but...

The debate of e-bikes being restricted has been going on forever. I have one simple question.... Has any e-biker reading this post ever been stopped or restricted by law enforcement while riding safely and at an appropriate speed on a trail marked 'No motor vehicles' etc? I'm not talking...

I agree with Rich C. I live in central CT, 75 years old ride, have two Trek Bosch Powered mid drives and love them. I exclusively ride my Trek Powerfly7 MTB on Rail Trails ( no single track ) and some road. The bike will climb a brick wall. Nothing stops it ! The Bosch Mid Drive is 500 Watts...

Hello and Welcome ! Tell us a little of what eBike riding is like on Pender Island BC. John

Overkill ?? I don't think so. I'd go for 'em. You and only you have to feel good ( and safe ) about your decision.

I'm reading the 'reviews' posted by New Member Blaine and they have consistent over the top, spam like theme to them. Are the posts real, from a real user ? John

The link you recently posted works and shows the review of the ElectroBike Dash which I'm sure will help with any technical information others may share. Thanks

The link to the bike you purchased is dead. What brand of bike did you by. What is the model ?

Hmmm, Very interesting. I will definitely check tomorrow. Thank you ! John

I ride a 2017 Trek Powerfly7 E-MTB, Rail Trails and limited roads. No single track period. I love this bike ! I'm seriously considering changing out the stock 29" rims for 26" rims and I'm looking for your thoughts and or suggestions. My goal is to get the bike closer to the ground. The back...

Howdy, Makes complete sense to me. As I said earlier, in my view you chose 4 top e-bike companies. No 'bad' bikes from any of them. Please check back in when you receive your bike and have gone of a few rides. All the best, John

Hello, Wow ! I must say I'm surprised to hear you've cancelled your Trek PF4 . Don't get me wrong, the Giant TRANCE XE+pro is a stunning bike. If I may ask what caused your change. The FS of the Giant ? Thanks, John

Welcome HMAiii, Bottom like I'd buy the 2022 POWERFLY 4 US MED 29 LITHIUM GREY/TREK in a second !! That's not to say what Giant, Specialized and Canonndale have to offer is subpar, quit the opposite. They all make fine bikes. It seems like you're very pleased with what Trek has to offer...

I completely agree with John Peck. A Class 3 does cover all bases. My personal experience. I own two e-Bikes. A Trek XM700 Stock Class 3 Commuter, I bought primarily for road riding which it excels at and some Rails to Trails riding. Turns out I didn't feel secure road riding with the XM700 (...

WOW ! Absolutely stunning bike. Just curious. Why did you choose the recumbent style design ? Thanks, John

Give us a price range of the e-bikes you've looked at or should I say might consider. Is this your first time looking prices of e-bikes ? I don't believe bike shops are raising prices. Most if not nearly all dealers don't have bikes to sell. I was in a large Multi-store bike shop here in CT...
