I completely agree with your post. Way too much time, bandwidth : ) is spent on the Class of an e-bike. I've owned two e-bikes for 3 years, 8000 miles between them. One is a Class 3 the other is a Class 2 emtb with a Speed Box Speed delimiter making it a Class 3. I ride safely, responsibly...

I agree with Rich C. I'm not here to poo-poo Throttles. I have two mid drive Trek e-Bikes. My go to Bike is a Trek Powerfly 7 eMTB that I ride on the road. It has a Bosch CX motor and will climb 'a brick wall' from a stop. The Torque Sensing (mid-drive) is very smooth and very natural feeling...

Greetings Driew, We were all new to bike riding at one time. Welcome :) John

I assume you've asked the bike shop for the the info / documentation that come with your Electra Townie 8i ) and they said ?? This is odd ?? That they would sell you a $2000 + with no written information. Did you receive any warrantee information ?

Hi, I'm a bit confused. The bike was purchased new from a Trek Authorized Dealer yet the store provided no written information specific to your Electra Townie D8 ?

Since you've narrowed your choice down to two bikes that's good. If you're going do any and all repairs if necessary great, if you're going to depend on a LBS Local Bike Shop I'd find a shop that will absolutely support the bike of your choice before purchasing. Shops that won't support...

I strongly agree with J.R. Find a skilled trained Bike Fitter, not a LBS salesperson its worth the money. I had a basic pro fit and it made all the difference in the world.

I'm 74 , will be 75 in August and have owned two e-bikes for 3 years. I had a carbon hybird non e-bike prior. Three years ago I went into my LBS and tried out a Trek XM 700 Commuter e-Bike. I didn't know an e-bike from pound of cheese. After a 20 minute test ride I knew right then and there...

What is your bike and what is it worth ? Pewag is great chain. If I were going to lock my bikes that would be my choice. As for a lock I'm not certain. I have two e-bikes and would never leave them unattended. I know that's not what you want to hear.

My opinion on the EBR transparency. The most important product EBR has to offer is honesty and integrity, be it stated or implied. Without that there is no website. In my view Court has done an exceptional job of establishing the highest level of both as a person and reviewer. Second, from...

Reed Scott, Excellent point. The OP certainly did have all of the 'markings' of a troll. Great call. Oh by the way, you were right on the tracking of the bike : ) From Gothcha.... "Gotcha Bikes, an app-based electric bicycle rental company, now has 500 GPS-enabled e-bikes and 50 mobility hubs...

A troll ? I don't think so. I've been a member of EBR approaching four years. Please check my many comments. I stand by what I've written. Based on the information the poster provided, anyone with basic common sense would consider the Gotcha Bike stolen. Even for the uninformed it's very obvious...

If you wait until you 'get some free time' you could end up doing time ! I'd call the police immediately. Also you wrote. "I wasn't suspicious until after I bought it for everything in my wallet, which was $50.... $50 !!! If that doesn't say it's a stolen bike I don't know what does. I'd...

There are many excellent e-bikes available and nearly countless opinions which bikes are 'the best'. Since you'll be riding ( living) on Sanibel Island, I suspect Pedigo Bikes are available for rental. If you've never ridden an e-bike that would be a good place to start. I'd also check out...

Rich C , I agree with your line of thinking. I have two Bosch Powered eBikes ( Trek ) and couldn't be happier ! I've had one minor sprocket / chain issue that my LBS took care of, but that's it with 7500 miles. Prior to buying my first e-bike I didn't know e-bikes from a pound of cheese...

Hello, I was asking purely from a generic educational standpoint. I have no need, just curious. Thanks, John

Hello, My response is not intended to be negative or to diminish the cargo bike idea for carrying children . I have no knowledge of the safety aspects and I really hope someone with that knowledge will respond.... With that said.. The average combined weight of a 6yr and a 1.5 year old child...

.....'Flat Foot Technology' also allows you to place both feet safely on the ground when stopped, thanks to the geometry of the frame. Whichever bike you choose I encourage you to consider seatpost designed to absorb bumps and road vibration. A quality unit will make a world of difference...

I absolutely, positively recommend you buy an e-bike. I'm 74 and bought my first e-bike 3 years ago. I'd never been on a e-bike or really knew what they were. Three years ago I was in my bike shop waiting, exactly as you were, my sales rep suggested I take the e-bike I was looking at out for a...

Hello, Perhaps my story may be a 'life raft' in a sea of choices. : ) I road a Trek Carbon 'acoustic' Hybrid and enjoyed it. One day I went to my LBS for some parts, while waiting and looking over the e-bikes (I'd done that prior). My sales rep "Why don't you take the Trek out for a ride...
