What are recommended ebike covers for garage storage? I have a Vado 5 and a cover I purchased was too short for the XL Vado 5. Thank you!

Hi, Been spending considerable time contacting both US and Canadian head offices of Specialized, as well as local and other Specialized bike shops. Had response on this forum too. Issue concerns the approximate 1/4 inch ‘play’ or movement when top of battery is pushed in towards rather...

Hi, Posted recently that the top of the Vado 5 battery has about 1/2 inch play at the top when installed. One can easily push the top approx 6 inches of the battery in towards the frame. There is about half an inch of movement when one pushes that installed battery in, towards the frame. The...

Hi, Turbo Vado 5 IGH battery does not seat firmly. Moves in about 3/8 of an inch when pushing top of battery towards frame. Should and needs to fit without movement. Any help would be appreciated. Bike has never been used much, less than 200 miles, and has never been dropped, etc. First few...

Curious about the Zen Samurai, esp the premium model. Has anyone bought one or have opinions about that ebike? Assembled in Halifax and has a Bosch Gen 4 speed motor and a belt drive. Thanks!

Hi, Curious if anyone has purchased an ebike (class 3 = 28mph max speed) in the US and brought that bike across the border into Canada. Were import and tax fees applied? I know BC is the only Canadian province that has no provincial sales tax on ebikes. I am considering buying a 28 mph max ebike...

Hi, Returned my Allant 7 yesterday. I tried riding on various terrain for about 9 km (about 5 and 1/2 miles), shifting gears, but found climbing mild to moderate hills very challenging. I had to use Turbo mode and gear 1 or 2, with strong pedal effort to manage the hills, rarely going faster...

Hi, Just picked up my new Allant 7 from a Trek Corporate store this afternoon. However, upon arriving, the manager tells me that the brakes were leaking and, as a result, they de died to upgrade the brakes at no additional charge, to a Shimano brake. Seemed sketchy to me. Cannot recall if...

Hi, Curious about opinions regarding whether the Quik R Mach 2 is that much better than the original Quik Rack single bike rack. I am aware the engineer who designed the original Quick rack decided to open his own business and made improvements. I saw that Mach 2 rack earlier on a pick up truck...

Hi, First, thanks again to all the folks who offered invaluable assistance re my recent 1UP Quik Rack single. I have yet to take my relatively heavy 29 inch NCM Moscow Plus (I better black out that name!) ebike for a test run using that rack, but it sure appears very well made and is compact and...

Hi, Curious if anyone has used the 1UP rack with bike’s with fenders. The 1UP seems very good, but a bike mechanic at a local shop told me earlier today that I should sell my 1UP since it will not work with bikes with fenders (rear wheel). Seems to me that there ought to be a way to make that...

Hi, Curious if anyone has used the fender protector for their 1UP rack. Can a person simply modify a pool noodle to get the same protection? I do not want to damage my ebike’s fenders, but really like that 1UP rack. Thanks!

Hi, Appreciate recommendations for a mirror and a rack bag for the Allant 7. My Allant 7will has a racktime rack. I believe I need an adapter if I choose a bag like the Bontrager one to snap it on and off. I saw one comment that mentioned it is possible to buy that adapter plate for the racktime...

Hi, Appreciate feedback regarding an ebike car rack. So many pros and cons amongst the so-called ‘name’ brands. Thule Easy Fold, Kuat, etc. I have read where racks that secure the bike by the frame risk tarnishing the bike’s paint finish. That racks that secure via the top of the wheels/tires...

Hi, Appreciate thoughts on whether suspension seat post makes sense for the Allant 7. Riding on mainly hard packed river trails and slight road use, to get to river trails. Thanks!

Hi, Appreciate thoughts on whether suspension seat post makes sense for the Allant 7.

Hi, Does anyone know if the Allant 7 handlebar size is larger, wider, on the l and XL frames? From what I read from Trek info, appears the handlebar comes in 2 sizes. I imagine a larger width for the large and XL frames. Thanks!

Hi, Have been reading many complaints that the support arm (that holds bike) comes loose or falls when driving over minor bumps in the road. Seems totally unacceptable for such an expensive hitch (1100.00 where I live). A limited life time warranty is pointless if one’s expensive ebike is...

Hi, Does anyone have recommendations for a bag (no panniers) to fit a Trek-Diamant Racktime Snapit City Rear Rack? That rack is on the Trek Allant 7. I prefer no panniers, just a bag that snaps on, that Is easy and fast to install and remove (for security, etc.). I have talked to a Trek...

Hi, After considerable searching, calling, etc., I have confirmed that I could get a Trek Allant 7 by the end of July or a Giant Explore Pro by early September. Bosch versus Yamaha motors, etc. I have always liked Trek but the Giant Explore Pro has a very nice colour display, and I have heard...
