I just turned over 9600 miles on mine. July will be two years of ownership. Original battery, only basic (expected) maintenance on bike. My commute is 18 miles each way; I shoot for 3 or 4 days every week commuting this way. It rides like its new.

Ill be bringing this in for the local bike shop to resolve--I don't want to screw up my ability to stop effectively during my commute. Many thanks for your insight.

What I'm replacing is the brake body with handle on my handlebars. I broke the original, no leaks, just destroyed the lever mount beyond repair...so I bought a new one. Is it a simple swap? Just unscrew the hydraulic brake-line from the body and screw it into the new one? Before I make a mess...

I bought a Raleigh Lore from Propel E-bike shop[ in Brooklyn last July, I put 4500 miles on it as of February and the rear hub failed. I sent the wheel via mail to Propel E-Bikes in Brooklyn for inspection, told them how I rode and they contacted Raleigh. Raleigh replaced the entire rear wheel...

Chris—the Raleigh Lore (2) I purchased from you folks at Propel is still going strong—almost 5000 commuting miles since purchase in July—I got a good grade on the interview as well :) Thanks for everything ?

Front sprocket looked fine, I replaced the chain, vibration comes when in turbo pedaling hard, coasting, then pedaling again. I rotated my pedals after the chain was off, I don't think it's a bearing issue--very smooth in both directions. I'll keep at it. Thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks—I’m throwing the bike on my stand Sunday night and cleaning everything and replacing the chain (I’m due) and front sprocket—maybe that will fix it?

Thanks so much—I’ll keep you posted?

I’ll try this out Sunday night at work—I’ll put the bike on a stand and clean and carefully examine everything. Thanks for the tip—I’ll keep you posted... no other ideas what the intermittent vibration may be?

So a grumbling noise when moving the pedals forward is normal—but noise moving the pedals the other way will I date a problem—yes?

Thanks so much for the reply, as my issue is intermittent it may take a while to diagnose and repair, but ill get it. Maube I should break down and replace the chain and sprockets...its also been suggested to be that some bolts may have loosened inside. I want as little down time as possible as...

I'm excited as well--anything to prolong the life of these investments

What are the symptoms of bad bearings? I have an intermittent vibration that feels like a tire rubbing (but its not) from my crank area. I have 4300 miles on the bike (Raleigh Lore) and I'm hesitant to hand it over to an unproven mechanic--I usually do my own maintenance. I have the original...

My status is that I'm a commuter on a Raleigh Lore as often as possible. I have 4300 miles on since July 2018. I do my repairs myself if possible. I'm very interested in this type of transportation. I a graduate student at Columbia University pursuing a degree in sustainability management. I'm...

I bought my Raleigh Lore in Brooklyn's Propel Bike Shop. Kind of far from Scarsdale where I live, anyone know of a good shop for service in Westchester. I'm going to speak to Danny's Cycles today, but I'm open to anyone's experiences.

I like this reply and hope my Raleigh Lore with 4300 miles lives up to it. I hope th manufactures of these transportation changers have done their homework—shortblives will impact the technology being embraced?

I’m interested in this poll—but with mileage numbers that differ—2000—5000—8000—10000 ?

I dissagree—this product made my commute possible. I use schwalbe tires—27.5x2.8—these are good tires. Flats on theses larger ebike tires with more resilient beads are rediculously difficult to change—a flat is a big deal. With this product I haven’t had a flat in over 3000 miles. Just saying?

I did the commute on regular bikes for 10 yrs but my knees began to hurt—being responsible (stopping for most stop signs) and a heavy bike (surly long haul trucker) with bags—made the switch easy and fun!?
