Has anyone changed their pedals? The stock ones seem very narrow. Platform pedals? What kind of pedals and what brand have people used?

I didn't like the stock pedals on my 2019 Explore E+1 GTS at all. And on my other bikes I had clipless pedals (the kind where you need a special fitting on your shoe) but those were road bikes which I used for longer distance riding and not stop-and-go commuting. I didn't think I wanted those on my e-bike. And I certainly didn't want to have to wear special shoes either.

I ended up getting these pedals from MEC and I love them! Nice large platform, non-slip, and safe (because the foot isn't locked in). I have over 1,000 km on them so far and like them so much that I added those to my mountain bike and clunker winter bike (neither of which is electric).

Cheers!
 
For a good cheap date try Shadow.
I got a free set from my dealer to deliver my Trance since they don't come with pedals. But I got a pair of CrankBrothers Stamp 1 for the mtb, so the Shadows went on the Explore. They're perfect. Much nicer than 'cage' pedals.
