• I plan to use the ebike for trips around town and for club rides in the area. This webpage is an enormous resource for beginners like me.

Nice choice in bike @Alan Acock!

I always wanted a Trek growing up, I thought they were the best bikes having tried my friend's regular "human powered" Treks lol

I saw a bit of Court's review on this eBike and thought it would be good choice for me to use as a commuter to work, but in the end I didn't get it for similar reasons I never got a Trek in the past, I am worried someone would steal it! haha

Take care, ride safe!

Welcome Alan! Your Trek is a terrific Ebike that you're really going to enjoy here in the valley w/MVBC
Mary's Peak is no longer a tough climb
All the best,

I really could not keep up with other riders and this makes it possible for me to keep riding with members of our great club! Thanks for the nice words.

@Alan Acock, ebikes are the grand equalizer on the road and those Treks are well built. Have fun chasing everyone up the hills and welcome to EBR!

I made two recent upgrades that you might find of interest.

1. Rock Shox Paragon Front Fork
2. Body Float seatpost.

Just like my car, I'm never finished adding/removing/modding parts.
