    Trek Powerfly 4 & 5

    My wife loves her 4 and put around 900kms this summer and I around 1400kms. We added some MugGuard short by Mucky Nutz as a front fender. Let me know how you like the added tires. We are moving to urban center next spring and we’ll be riding more on asphalt than gravel. Enjoy🤟

    2" Hitch ebike rack for a Jeep Wrangler

    I upgraded to that rack, extremely satisfied and I don’t see any issue to your Wrangler. I put 2 Trek Powerfly e bikes on it and very sturdy. To avoid heavy lifting, I line bike along the rail and lift front wheel on it and then move it forward and then lift rear end to end of rail. Same thing...

    Trek Powerfly 4 & 5

    I've been reading pretty much everything on ebikes the past 2 years and this year pulled the trigger on the Trek Powerfly 4 (wife) & 5 (myself).

    R48 review

    Tks for the detailed review. I've yet to make a jump to e-bike yet but been researching them for quite a while. Velec bikes got me very interested. I like the throttle idea especially for my wife who's not an avid rider and the extra battery option. Tks again

    2020 Giant Explore E+ 2 GTS, I think I found my bike!

    In Quebec, they changed the law and it’s an offence to wear any earbuds while cycling. So cycled last year without listening to my music and it sucks! I came across this on amazon and will be looking at giving this a try this season!
