The old Purion system appealed to us as they can be easily derestricted without hassle. The speedometer reads correct, motor lock, and true unlimited speed without throwing a code is possible. The Rail 7's we bought are excellent bikes for the sale price. Mine even came with upgraded SLX brake...
My wife and I are 55 and 52 and totally enjoy our analog bikes. When they ran a sale on the Trek Rail Gen 2 we grabbed a couple up. We tend to run on ECO most of the time and push hard enough the get a good workout. The higher levels are nice to have to travel from park to park or have an extra...
Most all electric MTB’s are Class 1 bikes. The motor will only assist up to 20 mph. The way around the speed limit is to use a plug in chip. The pre-Smart systems that use the Purion and Kiox displays allow for all the features of a Speedbox to be used. Unlimited speed, true speed displayed...
My wife and I bought Rail 7 Gen 2's recently. It looks like they are equipped the same as the 9.7 besides the Kiox display. Ours have been 100% trouble free and are a total blast to ride! Ours were 4.3K so if you can get the carbon bike for 4.5K, I feel it is an excellent buy. We are...
I've been running Hope Pro 4, J spoke style on my HT Roscoe 8 for almost 4 years now. They have been 100% flawless. I do like the 108 engagement on my Shimano Rail 7 hub. I might do the Hope Pro 5 or some I9 Hydra's next time around.

My oldest daughter just bought a Haibike AllMtn 3 from Upway and my wife bought a Rail 7 Gen 2. We still like riding our analog bikes a ton but these e bikes are such a blast! Makes commuting a breeze!

My wife and I got some good miles in off and on road yesterday. She put a few on the Rail and more than ever on my Roscoe. She didn’t mind the large frame sizes at all. Her FX is a medium BTW. The Rail feels like a light motorcycle to me. More so than a heavy bike. The torque and power seem...
I'm a long term Trek owner and just bought my first Ebike. My wife and I bought a 9000 and 930 Trek MTB's back in 1992. Now I ride a Roscoe 8 and she rides a FX Sport 4. We demo'd a Powerfly 5 FS back in 2019 and just figured we would wait it out since we are both able bodied and enjoy pedaling...
