That’s the opposite of what my folks said. I have the E+1 but have only had it a few days. Love it so far.

I am 70. I was born in the first half of the last century. Just bought a Giant LaFree E+1. Plan to ride it for at least the next decade.

I sure hope that’s not a trend.

That’s interesting. I found the LaFree to be considerably more comfortable than the Como. The dealer was going to have to raise the stem of the Como and find a suspension seat post for the Como to get it to match the LaFree’s comfort. I suspect different body dimensions may have something to do...

I came within a hair of getting the turbo Como 4.0 but decided it was overkill for my riding. Spectacular bike. I bet you love your Vado. My wife was in the Air Force. I was in Naval Aviation. We have some interesting debates about who is best, Air Force or Navy. I have yet to win that argument 😳

Shiloh’s a beautiful little town. I grew up in Mascoutah. Born in New Athens. I even used to manage the Aero Club at Scott AFB. We should get together to ride. What bike do you have?

Interesting. I just ordered my E+1 today! We can compare notes.

Well, after much research I have ordered a new Giant LaFree E+1. It should arrive next week. The LaFree just seemed to meet my needs the best. Simple, reliable, comfortable, great motor, good value; what more could a recreational rider need?

That review was one of the bits of my research that pointed towards the LaFree in general and the E1 in particular. The only real complaint they had was the chain dropping.

I am also about to buy this bike, and I do not think it has been reviewed here, although a search will show some threads discussing it. It does everything I need from an e-bike and is very comfortable.

Yeah, she pretty much runs our household.😳

Thanks, Steve. I appreciate your helpand experience. Jim

I suspect that would be the LaFree, although I won’t be riding that until Thursday. Any opinion on the Internal Gear Hub/ belt drive choice vs. derailleur and chain?

Actually, both are within 2 miles so either would be fine from that standpoint.

After a great deal of research I have narrowed my search for an e-bike to these two choices (3, if you consider the two versions of the Giant LaFree). I have been riding recreationally for years but at age 70 I find I am valuing comfort more, especially as I have some arthritic pain in my right...

Retired guy looking at an e-bike to replace my Giant Cypress LX. Focusing in on Trek Verve + and the Giant LaFree.
