I worry that I’m a little too heavy for those. Additionally I usually need one of the bigger eBikes and most manufacturers don’t carry the bigger bikes in a step through. Even companies like Gazelle.

I had a Trek Verve+ 3 back in 2020 and felt like overall it was a great bike for getting around and running errands, shopping, etc. Ultimately I moved on from it and tried a Tern for a while, because I was unhappy with the stand over height. I’m 6’2” with a 30 inch inseam, so the XL seamer like...

I was thinking about a Burley trailer. A big factor for me will be if the trailer lets me tilt the bike to get on as I don’t think I’ll actually go with the step through, so I’ll need to be able to tilt the bike.

How funny. That was me too. Played guard and tackle, but unfortunately my arm liked to go limp out of the blue. A stinger, maybe popping out, I didn’t know at the time. So I had to hang it up early too.

Same here on the pedal spacers. I’ve used them since my first fit almost 20 years ago. I was 175lbs and 6’1” as a 7th grader and hardly any fat. Played small college football. I doubt I could get skinnier than 250lbs. It is what it is. So I’ve mostly worked around the weight limits on bikes...

I am. In my experience the wheel is the most important part along with maybe the suspension fork. I started bike commuting in 2000 at 400lbs and lost 170lbs in about a year and a half on an entry level Trek mountain bike that definitely wasn’t rated for my weight. I then spent the next 8 years...

One other question since I’m asking. Should I consider the Vado 4 or 5? I’m inclined to buy the 4, since I climb more than anything and the gearing seems favorable to that, but one of the folks at the LBS said he wouldn’t recommended riding a bike like the Vado 4 with only 2 piston brakes. Is...

Part of the reason for my question is that I’m over the weight limit, so definitely pushing it. I usually have my back wheel rebuilt by hand when buying a new bike. Everything works out fine from there. I am a little antsy about frame flexion, though, so I’ll consider that.

I’m a heavier cyclist who’s switching up from a Tern to a Specialized. I’m pretty settled on the Turbo Vado 5.0, because it has geometry more favorable to unloading pressure from my knee. Something I’m curious about, though, is the step through model. I’m thinking of getting that model, but I’m...

I'm a little late having just discovered these forums, but I wanted to say I'm around the same weight and getting along great with a Trek Verve 3+. I had to get the wheels warrantied for handbuilt wheels with a higher spoke count, but my local Trek store was happy to do that. I'm enjoying it...
