    Bike Rack Recommendations?

    Hey Everyone! My husband drives a Tacoma and I drive a little Scion TC, and we're trying to find a bike rack that will work with his truck. I snagged a trunk mounted rack and retrofired it to fit my cars large back window / glass, and seems to be working well. We're trying to find a good rack...

    First ebike for a 6 mile hilly commute

    I highly recommend looking into a Raleigh lore! I was in the market for my first E-bike a few months ago, spent months researching which bike would be perfect for me. I live in a super crazy hilly area and was looking for something that could get me out of the driveway and to my destination...

    Hello everyone! Picked up my new steed last night! What a DREAM! I will eventually need to upgrade the saddle as this one isn't too comfortable for my bum for an extended period of time, but man, what a difference. I'm so happy I listened to all of your suggestions and snagged this, totally...

    Hey neighbor! Oh man, I really hope it goes in our favor because the Lore I’m waiting on is a class 3..... ?

    Ended up with the lore but there was an issue with our LBS and Raleigh so they had to reorder it... hopefully it’ll be in in a few weeks! I promise to post an update once I get it :)

    Time to buy?

    Dang! No tax?! Jealous! The bike should be ready for pick up today and I am SO EXCITED! Did you put racks on yours? Thinking about putting racks and lights on but I plan on doing a lot of trails once the weather warms up, so not sure if it's the best idea lol

    Will the medium work for you? I just ordered the medium, it’s on the bigger size for a medium our bike guy said, but I’m also only 5’5”. Sorry friend Maybe reach out to their chat online they may be able to find you one local :)

    Time to buy?

    Hey! Currently between the Raleigh Cadent and the Raleigh Lore atm, thinking I'm going to order the Lore tonight from my local bike shop. About a month ago I was like, "I want to get back into biking" and really started kicking the dirt up. I was turned onto E-bikes at our local shop when I went...

    Thanks for the response! I think that’s where I’m leaning to but figured I’d give the Cadent a fair try. I’m still a little bummed the Lore doesn’t come with fenders, rack or lights but I didn’t realize it would be only about $200 to get those things on over time, so that’s encouraging...

    Got back in touch with our local shop - He said the Cadent came in yesterday and they have it ready for me to test ride (currently in the middle of a huge storm so tomorrow I'll pop in). He said it shouldn't be a problem to get the Lore in if i test ride the Cadent and really prefer the...

    That makes sense. I think I’m going to do the lore! For $500 more I think I’m getting a better deal down the line for what I need

    When the Cadent comes in I'll head into the shop, give it a test ride for sure just incase and then depending on how it goes.... then ask the local shop if they can order the Lore. I feel guilty because he clearly ordered the Cadent for me, so I kind of feel like he'll be upset to order yet...

    Wow, that is a really good price! Our local shop still has it at $3,200 though, and it's a special order item too (They already special ordered the Cadent for me to try) Would that be rude of me to ask?

    How would one determine if the sensor is cheap or not? That's my fear is the lurching in small area's, but I'm hoping that if I tone down the power output in the settings I should be able to make it a little less full power all at once lol

    Our local shop is all out, but it's a bit out of our price range :( Looks like a great bike though!!!

    Thanks for the reply! Our Local bike guy said that the throttle option is actually illegal here in Massachusetts. Any type of a throttle or boost button I guess. I definitely need to learn how to shift better, hopefully the more time I spend on the bike the better I get at it. I think the...

    Thanks for your response! Oh man, that Giant looks great, but wayyy out of my price range at the moment. :( Do you think the bike guy is being honest about being able to fine tune the sensor on the Cadent? I know you're able to adjust the power output but I don't think that's the same thing...
