    Trek Rail 9

    Really good. Due to the gearing, you can't push it that fast, but I find i can cruise it around 35 -38km per hour. 32km/hr limit is just slightly too slow. Obviously not needed for trail riding, but great on the way home. It was driving me a bit loco every time the motor stopped at the 32km/hr...

    Trek Rail 9

    I too was going to get the whyte, but like you, I thought thr battery system was just plain difficult. My trek rail is my first ebike, and its awesome. I find it pretty much ploughs through anything, and it feels kind of nimble. Im not a very experienced mountain biker when it comes to how bikes...

    Trek rail battery range extension

    Hi mate... im a bit heavier at 112kg, so I guess that doesn't help. Longest ride I managed was 800m of climbing in total, and 61kms. That was using a mixture of eco, tour and EMTB modes. There is a ride I wish to do that is around 80km, and about 1200m total climbing. It maybe that the backpack...

    Trek rail battery range extension

    Hi all, I am just investigating if there is a system to add a battery for extending range in the trek rail. I did find a post from Trail Watts indicating they were working on something mid 2019, but I have had no response to queries to their site. Apart from putting a spare in a backpack, has...

    My new 2021 Trek Rail 5 Purple Flip

    I just bought the rail 7 in black/red. I had to do a double take at first, as the paint job made it look like carbon. I took it for a spin through a local forest last night, and it was outstanding. I still need to fiddle with suspension a bit, but I have zero doubt about bike choice. It is as...

    Hello from Christchurch, New Zealand

    To close the loop on this one, I bought the rail 7 in black/red. I took it for a spin last night. There is definately no buyers remorse after that! After spending some time adjusting the suspension on the trail, the bike dialed in very nicely. I am very happy with it. Without a doubt I now have...

    Hello from Christchurch, New Zealand

    Yes... I like the trek too, but I like the idea of a piggyback battery, and I believe the orbea wild and the haibike are the only ones who do it with bosch. I've read a lot of the same thing on the specialized motor thing too, but who really knows unless you own one.

    Hello from Christchurch, New Zealand

    Thank you mate. Will do! Supply is a problem, and I've found that the shops want a deposit up front, or its sold to someone else... latest shipments seem to be arrving early Jan, snd because demand is exceeding supply the sales guys aren't working too hard
