wow look at that a Shimano 105 crank arm. wait whats this? its the power meter arm. The second most expensive part on the bike. it is a valuable tool and it has apple find my built in. too bad I can put on the bosch and compare the two.

no the motor feels good but with all the rain I ride in can cause issues. Best case I will have a backup bike and a new battery. but it may be time to just have a e tandem and the trek for casual use.

Totally get it — riding year-round in Portland rain will wear on anything. If the motor still feels good, a backup bike + a fresh battery sounds like a solid “peace of mind” plan. And honestly, keeping the Trek for casual rides and letting the tandem be the fun project feels like the right call.
