Just another angle to your question: If it was me I would not intitially buy as you say a nice ebike for camping and tooling around the fire roads and light trails with. I would first invest in one of those folding ebikes. Your cash outlay would be in the range of $799 to 1500 new per bike...

Amazing specs for that kind of money. These companies are probably so overstocked they are practically givng them away. A full suspension model usually runs another $1000 for most brands. Check out their similar model in FS. I bet it's only a $500 diffference now.

I would have the Trek store contact your regions regional manager.

Just put it on a timer. They are cheap!

You have a black belt with Ninja Kitchen Appliances like their air fryers? . . . that "is" impressive 😜

Bottom line is hanging expensive (probably 15k plus) of ebikes on your camper is just advertising to thieves to steal them. Locks mean squat. Just as with car jackings while you are at a light etc all the scum has to do is approach you with a knife or a gun and there goes two expensive bikes...

Ouch . . . feel better!

Glad you solved it Hotrod. Here is another tip for others having plastic bracket issues . . . True, Treks have a curved downtube but thats only part of the issue. But the bigger issue is most brackets are made of just "cheap plastic". I broke 3 last year and finally found this brand (who...

For my hard earned money this is unacceptable IMO! Get a refund and go for a different brand.. Try a tire with a 120 TPI casing.

My rides are shorter in winter anyway. I take the bike with the 625 watt battery most of the time, so 70% is plenty for me to start out with.

Good cold weather battery info, thanks Alfreton.

My car batteries are not lithium and the car is never in long term storage anyway. Lead acid are supposed to be kept at 100% and always charged back up by the alternator. Lithium's are a different animal. Ya, I'm amazed at how fast the Trek Powertubes drain when the temps drop below 40...

I do use a wind up Intermatic timer that I installed so the AC is off after charging. When I said checking every 1/2 hour increments, I meant until I bring it back up to 70% after riding. If I left it on the timer for an hour or so after a ride, it would probably go right up to 90%. I tried...

Now that I don't get many days here in the North East U.S. above 40 degrees anymore I've discovered it's a lot easier to only leave my batteries at 70% in order to enter long term storage. It's 40 degrees out there today and I'll be riding for an hour or two. But I'm start out with only a 70%...
