ordered my new ride

[elf]

Not a sled but really looking forward to it. Told myself I'd get another new bike at 55 and then a e bike at 60. Well, I never got the one at 55 so I compromised and got this one at 57 1/2.

Sharp looking bike. Though the seat looks like a pain in the azz.

I have to agree with mezz that is a very sharp looking bike but that seat would have me hurting in 15 minutes. We got a couple of treks a couple of years ago but they are just cruiser bikes with a nice comfy seat.

I got one of those also. E-Calibur weighs only 37 lbs

 

[katden4]

Very nice!

 

[Go Fast or Go Home]

Is that an E-Bike ?

Whichever it is I would be switching the seat for a big butt comfy one.

Can you mount a ski doo g4 wide butt seat on that thing. That would be confy!!!!

It's a bike that has a electric motor and battery to assist with the pedaling the bike. We just bought 2 what I will call regular bikes with no batteries but it does seem most new bikes I am seeing are electric bikes now. These bikes can really move out or at least they can really move out compared to how fast my old but can pedal. I wouldn't mind having the assistance going up hills also could probably make it a lot further if I had that.

Yeah, well, elf, now your saddled with all that hassle of recharging? But you do have peddles to use. Bingo!

Awesome bike!

Yes, its a Trek Fuel EXE. Its considered a mid power pedal assist bike. Smaller battery, smaller motor. They say range should be about 25 miles depending on power mode you use, how much climbing you do, etc... Most of my rides are under 15 miles so should be fine.

Yep, gotta keep it charged but the motor in this bike is unique motor so riding it with a dead battery doesn't add any drag like other e-bikes do.

I have a Trek Madone Carbon Fiber road bike and a Marin Trail Bike, I also have an ebike for the windy days, and if I am riding up north where it is very hilly! Your bike would be perfect for the hills and wind!

Yeah, I joke I'm not getting any younger and the hills in Duluth aren't getting getting any shorter so something had to give! My other mtn bike is a Scott Spark 945 and I have an Advocate Watchman fat bike. I love to ride the Spark also but the fat bike I've never gotten to attached to.

Heard only great things about those pedal/electric bikes. Sounds like the way to go! Enjoy.
