Hi All,
New guy here. Got too chicken to ride the motorcycle so I picked up a couple of "New" Trekking RX's on "closeout" for me and my wife. Only a couple of rides so far but LOVE them. They are a 2016 and a 2015.
Question 1: I would like to get panniers/bags for them. The 2016 has a Cannondale Carry More rack. It appears that this line has been discontinued? At least I am finding it difficult to find the adapter plate, and most places are "out of stock" for bags. Should I buy a different system? I want to start small for now, and I don't want to invest in something that we can't grow into.
Question 2: The 2015 appears to have mounts on the rear frame for a bike lock. If so, what kind, and is it something I should consider? I did buy a couple of Kryptonite U Locks. Okay for my needs, but I could see a wheel lock being a handy addition.
Question 3: One battery was made in 2014, the other in 2015. I understand I have a 2 year warranty from date of purchase, but I have no good baseline to judge it from. I'm sure this has been discussed a bunch, and there is a lot of variables that go into battery life, but I am interested to hear opinions here. Does the battery have to be dead dead for a warranty claim, or is there a discharge level that is considered not acceptable and covered by warranty. Naively, I thought they grabbed a new battery off the shelf when the bike is sold. Has anyone had their Bosch battery replaced? If so please elaborate.
Thanks,
Max
