    Any opinions on Trek ebikes?

    I concur with d8veh. Roller brakes don't have much stopping power in comparison to V-brakes or hydraulic brakes. I had to replace a couple of times the whole brakes when the customers contaminated them with one or two drops of oil and it's a lot messier to do than changing brake pads. go for...

    Brummie, when you go visit a bike shop, don't mention the word 'throttle' - it may cause a rash on the shop owner's face! Most e-bikes don't have a throttle and most of the time, you won't need one. I replied to you because you wanted to know. Most vendors hate it, most customers don't care for it.

    we have already 5 millions sufferers of type 2 diabetes and about 2 millions with hips and knees problems, there will be more and more people needing a throttle as a backup.

    How i can increase max speed of my bike?

    The Lectro comes with a LED panel. you can't change the maximum speed of your bike. It's not just because it's a Lishui controller (you can't reprogram them), only bikes fitted with a speedometer and LCD that can have their speed altered.

    No. The height of the rack on the lowstep Fat Boy is the same on a 700C wheeled bike.

    seat: the rack is sturdy. Just zoom in the rack, the tubes are 25% thicker than those on the normal bikes. I don't think you need to change it. lights: the bike comes with front and rear lights. grips: I sometimes fit Argon GP1 grips for customers who request them. Replacing the grips that come...

    all the step through with rear motor have the same issue with the high rear loading that you need. The strength of the wheels come from two factors: 1. Strength of the rim. fat bike rims are hell a lot sturdier. 2. Length of the spokes: the longer the better. Spokes work by their elasticity...

    they are sturdy alright, but the RadRhino you have chosen has a crossbar frame, you have to get on it before your child and off it after your child. It's not easy at all, especially when your child is already in the seat and needs attention. You are better off with a low step frame, not...
