    Anyone here have a 2019 Explore E+ 1 GTS with SMALL frame size?

    The water bottle cage mount is a giant, I have a rokform mount on my old bike I need to move over to the right side of my handlebar. Have been lazy to get it down from where it's hanging. I think this is the mount, unsure, I was just complaining about frame mount cages on step through frames...

    Anyone here have a 2019 Explore E+ 1 GTS with SMALL frame size?

    meant to get to this sooner and forgot. I am planning on moving my rokform mount from my trek 7000 over at some point, plenty of room on the right side of the handlebar (so lazy)

    Anyone here have a 2019 Explore E+ 1 GTS with SMALL frame size?

    My shop did a handlebar mount for my bottle cage for under $10. I have a step through and after kicking (and breaking) my cage I said enough of that.

    tbf I've lost 20 pounds so will probably make up the cost in lowered healthcare costs.

    Which Ebike should I save up for?

    If 2K is a hard limit I would suggest the Giant Lafree E+2. The Yamaha drive is sooo smooth and has a step through frame.

    Giant Lafree E+2 and E+1 I have owned both models!!!!

    I have grocery pannier's so you really have to look to see the battery. Even without, at any distance it just looks like a rack with a small bag. I am an unabashed Trek aficionado but Giant knocked it out of the park with the LaFree. IMO the yamaha drive feels better, and rides nicer than the...

    Help an old fat fart find a bike!

    My wife went from OMG you just spent how much on a bike to shut up and take my money with one easy going ride on a local trail with 800 feet of elevation.

    Giant Lafree E+2 and E+1 I have owned both models!!!!

    I did not like any of the hub drive's with throttles I tested. Very unnatural feeling, if I wanted to ride a motorcycle I'd ride my motorcycle! The Yamaha mid-drive has instant torque. No lag. I have no issues getting a move on quick from a full stop in 3rd gear. There is a second of lag on...

    Help an old fat fart find a bike!

    I was 295 (down to 275) when I got my Giant LaFree E+1. It did not disapoint and holds my fat arse just fine. I think the yamaha drive system's are the best on the market. I don't think you would be disappointed in one of the giant E-mtb models. IMO the pedegos are overpriced. $3000+ for hub...

    Giant Lafree E+2 and E+1 I have owned both models!!!!

    Lafree is the best casual commercial e-bike on the market. The belt drive, internal hub, and yamaha motor feel incredibly smooth and natural. I swoon over the E+1 so much sometimes people ask me if Giant is paying me! No, it's just a great ride priced hundreds if not thousands of dollars cheaper...

    Lafree E+?

    We have a Lafree E+1 and a Cannondale Mavaro NEO City. The E+1 feels so much nicer, and it was cheaper! The belt drive, internal hub, and yamaha motor feel incredibly smooth and natural. The Cannondale has the Bosch Active Line Plus, this is fine but there is a noticeable delay when the motor...
