Well, we went ahead and looked at the Trek Powerfly 4 but my wife didn't like it. I was surprised at how noisy it was too. So we went back to the Specialized shop, but then my wife decided we should get full suspension after all. So we decided not to get anything then and think about it and...

I am looking at getting a Haibike but it doesn't appear they have any official US dealers (although a local dealer sells them). Is that true? And if so, do they come with a warranty?

We did a little test ride tonight, just in the parking lot. Unfortunately assist wasn't on when my wife first took it out so she got a bit of a negative impression. But even after I turned it on, it was a little disappointing. The motor is very noisy, and it just didn't seem very responsive...

Thank you, I was wondering about the quality between the two, it seems there have been some issues with the specialized motors in particular. However, there seems to be a lot of issues with the hubs with the Powerfly.

My wife and I have been looking for a bike for dirt trails, not serious mountain biking. And I don't want to spend a fortune. I was planning on getting either a Specialized Turbo Tero 3.0 or a Scott Aspect eRide 940, which very similar and on sale, $2250 and $2000 respectively. Both have only...

Well, the price on the 5.0 went up today so it's no longer an option, even though last night the dealer said they would still honor that price today. I may look at the Trek Powerfly instead but will probably just get the 3.0 and see how it goes. Thanks all for your input.

Thanks everyone. It sounds like changing the chainring is not a good idea. I am looking at other cassette options, but don't see anything in the line it comes with. Maybe other lines can be used, but seems like that could require changing a lot of other stuff to which wouldn't be worth it...

Good info, thanks. Although I'm pretty mechanical I've never been seriously in to biking so not familiar with all these, but I find it very interesting. I don't think I've ever been faster than 20 so not sure I'll even want to, but I'll get used to it. I was seriously thinking about the Tero...

Maybe less is more, i.e. we'll get in better shape if we choose less power.

I'm referring to similar bikes.

Hey, great to hear from a local. Red Rock is where I'm getting it from. I asked him if it would have any trouble getting up the Snow Canyon road and he said no. I've only done it in a Rad Power bike, which is heavier but had more power, and only 7 gears, but 34T in front and 42T in the rear...

Thanks. Yes, it seems like a really good deal, although the regular price seems quite high compared to the Trek which has similar levels of equipment. Sounds like you're doing great, I hope I am in half as good of shape when I'm your age. I was only ever using Eco on my test ride but will...

Thanks, we are both around 180 lbs, our daughter is maybe 140. Her bike as the same cassette but a 32T chainring instead of 36. So in theory maybe a 25% or more advantage altogether. It seems most cassettes have an 11T top gear, and most chainrings I've seen are 32, 34, or 36. I'm not...

My wife and I have been looking for a bike for paved paths and easy dirt trails, no serious mountain biking. And as we are just casual riders we don't want to spend a fortune. I narrowed it down to Specialized and Trek models currently on sale as local stores. We settled on the Turbo Tero 3.0...
