    XM 700+ Trek 10,000+ mile report

    8,000 miles. It was $800 or $900 for a Bosch 500 watt. I don’t think it wore out as it happened all of a sudden. A maximum of 50 miles every day with a little left and then 15 miles. There must have been a short or something that destroyed a bunch of cells. Possibly this was because of dropping...

    XM 700+ Trek 10,000+ mile report

    I forgot to mention I had to replace the battery (got the 500 too). The original battery range dropped from 50 miles to 15 all of a sudden after stopping a charge with an over heated warning

    XM 700+ Trek 10,000+ mile report

    I’m good for at lease another 5,000 miles. By then there will be substantial improvements in weight and range. 🤞

    XM 700+ Trek 10,000+ mile report

    After 4 years I have 10,000+ miles. 95% of the miles have been road rides. I still like the bike. There were some problems. The original tires got frequent flats. I called the tire maker and they said Trek demanded an ultra soft tire with maximum traction. They sent me a quality ebike specific...

    Click when left pedal pressed down on Trek/Bosch

    It wasn’t the headset. Not the seat or post. Not the pedals. The problem was the bolts used to mount the motor were no longer properly titled.

    Bosch Speed Performance system shuts down mid ride.

    I have same bike and 6000 miles. I’ve had one intuvia display replaced at 3000 miles and now I have the sme problem again. This time they are replacing the mount. I’ve been waiting a month for the part. This is very frustrating

    Car rack--which brand

    The Buzzrack on Amazon, BUZZRACK Approach 2-Bike Platform Hitch Rack, looks very good and the $239 price is also reasonable. Anybody know more about this rack? The Tule and comparable Hollywood racks are much more expensive.

    Off brand batteries?

    I have a Trek XM 7000+ with a 400 watt battery. A new 400 or 500 watt battery has a huge price tag. I looked up "bosch ebike battery" in Amazon and they show a "Joyisi" battery for about $300. It has a very high rating by 16 reviewers. It looks like the shape of the battery I have now...

    My dealer update acted my software but it still doesn’t have walk support. He called Treck and was told the walk mode only worked on bikes that had th 20 mph restriction. I have a Trek 7000

    How much difference does this make for maximum ride distance? How much should/does it cost?

    5000 miles, xm700+

    My XM 7000 had a "loose handlebar" and the bike shop said the fork could disconnect. Trek replaced the fork. This happened at about 1500 miles. I'm over 4100 now an have no problems (yet) since then.

    Lightweight AND affordable eBikes

    I have a Trek 700+. It weighs close to 50 pounds and uses a Bosh mid drive motor. After 4,000 miles I have the sense that it will last a long time. Although I'm happy with this bike a lighter weight would be great! It is hard to put the Trek 700+ on a bike rack or lift it on to a truck bed. The...

    Can you count on the Electric Bike Manufacturer being there?

    This explosion of new companies producing ebikes is wonderful, but as with any other industry that has gone through rapid growth, there will surely be many failures to go with some spectacular successes. After worrying about this for a couple years before buying my ebike I got a Trek. I hope...

    would it work for me?

    I only know about my one and only ebike. It is a Trek XM700+. I found I can exceed to estimated range by quite a lot. I use the lowest level of support virtually all the time and this is probably why. Even with the lowest level of support I am able to keep up with much younger people who are on...

    Known Issues & Problems with Trek Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    I'm okay with every 1,000 -1,500 miles, but every 500 miles would be a lot of money for a person who rides a lot of miles each year.
