    Help! Old Biker

    I have a Trek Verge + 2 500WH which I purchased over 3 months ago. I like it mainly because it is a step through and me being in my sixes it is easy for me to get on and off. I use for exercise. I have done just over 500 miles without any major problems. Overall I am very happy with the bike.
