Coast Guard Beach, North Truro, MA. 70 deg and not a cloud in the sky today.!

Same here. After almost a year of owning my e-bike, my brain is still confused since I've been riding motorcycles for more than 60 years.

I took a 20 mile round trip over the rolling hills of PA for breakfast at Spanky’s Restaurant in Newfoundland, PA this morning.

I just added an expensive Kody Technologies tail light to my already expensive QuikrStuff bike rack. 🤑 VERY sturdy and well integrated with the rack. It looks like it came with it IMO. It doesn't interfere with attaching the add-on ramp, folds nicely with the rack on the Jeep and for storage.

I feel the Super Moto's (NON X) are the best tires for a commuter e-bike. Fantastic on pavement, good on loose gravel, sand and grass - everything I run into and over on my rides.

I’m on my third set of tires in 10 months for my Allant+ 8S. The original stock tires, while very smooth on the road were a nightmare on anything slightly slippery (grass, gravel, etc). At about 700 miles, I replaced them with Super Moto X’s. While infinitely better on the slippery stuff, they...

I have had the same exact vibration feeling as the OP on my Allant+ 8S since new. At 900 miles (10 months old) it has gotten slowly worse. Not more vibration but it happens much more often now (about 50% of the time riding). I mentioned it to my dealer when the bike was only a couple of weeks...

Today. The new Norah Jones album is fantastic.

69 y/o here. I've had a Trek Allant+ 8S for eight months/725 miles and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. Mine is a standard but they also offer a Stagger, not quite a step though but lower standover height. Your requirement of 50 miles per trip is going to require a big battery, which is where a lot of the...

My 1996 Gary Fisher Aquila came with gumwall tires. Not really new at all.

How do you like the Tannus Armor? Is there any noticeable difference in the ride?

Too cold and rainy to ride this week, so it's more upgrades. 🤓 The stock Bontrager E6 Hard-Case Lite tires are great on dry pavement and treacherous on anything else. After weeks of research and reading reviews, I opted to change them out for Schwalbe Super Moto X's. I'm hoping they are almost...

The continued evolution of @retiredNH and @Sparky731's idea. :)

Apple Watch here. Monitors heart rate and integrates with the Cobb.bike and Apple Fitness/Health apps.

I have had an eeSilk+ post on my Trek Allant+ 8S for about three months now. I absolutely love it. I can't feel it bouncing at all but find I can stay in the saddle over bumps that demanded I stand prior. I weigh 180lbs, so being smack dab in the center of the weight (150-210 lbs )...

@Sparky731 @Sefutau2020, OK, you shamed me into strengthening up the mounts. LOL. I re-did everything today using the entire P-Clamp (my initial concept). My issue with that originally was that if I pushed REALLY hard on the rack, it could slide slightly no matter how tight the screws were...

I can’t speak to the clearance required for mounting an MIK accessory but your solution does appear to have a bit more clearance. As far as strength, I’m fairly confident that it should hold the 25 or so pounds that the rack is rated for - I guess time will tell. :)

FYI, I have a neoprene washer between the MIK tabs and the P clamps.

Well I can pick the bike up by the rack so that should be twice the weight it's rated for. :) My original concept was to use slightly smaller 3/8" P-clamps and use the entire clamp so that it would be tight around the bars. Once I started fiddling with it, I realized that using 7/16" Clamps...

@Sparky731 This is what I wound up doing. I used the same Giant MIK rack and mounted it with 1/2 of these Billet Aluminum P-Clamps. I have Topeak MTX/RX bags, so I then mounted Topeak's platform on that. Pretty slick looking IMO. :)
