Mudhuggers front and back on my Trance. From the right angle the rear doesn’t look too chunky, and does a very good job of keeping my back dry.

£200-ish was the annual cost, for a £6k bike, so maybe not too far off your £14/mth.

A friend recently had the chain coming off her Trek Powerfly 4. LBS quickly realised the freehub was sticking and pushing the top run of the chain towards the chainset, creating slack so that it derailed. Pedals rotating when the bike was pushed forwards was the giveaway. New pawls in the...

I have the +2. Only had it 2 months/150 miles but so far, so good. Considered the +1 but it was going to be a long wait to get one in my frame size, and I post-rationalised that there was more to go wrong with the suspension electronics. The Yamaha motor has a very different feel compared to...

I bought a £30 stand online and saved hundreds over the cost of a Park Tools stand. It has some shortcomings (it won’t let you have both wheels in the air, the clamp isn’t strong enough to hold a front-heavy eBike clamped on the seat post), but really it’s fine for home use. I’ll find a link if...

My local eBike shop uses Park Tools, stands and clamp to the seat post, dropper or not, so I guess it must be ok to do that…….

I’m with LV. It cost about £30pa to add my £4600 Trek Powerfly 7. Garaged at night. Gold Sold Assured lock required when away from the home. Update. LV won’t cover anything over £4.5k value, so my £6k Giant that replaced the Trek couldn’t be covered. Ended up paying £200+ to Spinsure - more...

I have a Trek Powerfly 7 with Bosch CX Performance Line 85Nm motor and Kiox display. Overall I’m very satisfied with it. On Sunday I gave it a serious wash after one of our usual very wet and muddy rides, including slicing out around the clogged up motor housing by removing the shield and...

Introducing myself. I’m first and foremost a petrolhead, but at age 65 have been bitten by the eBike bug and I now ride a Trek Powerfly 7, acquired end October 2021. I started ebiking in April 2021 with a VanMoof S3 (two actually, the first one broke after 2 weeks) but rapidly realised that (a)...
