    Bosch walk mode uses how much battery?

    Same technique I use on my rail 7 (walk mode actually works) more importantly it maintains traction on the rear wheel.

    Bosch walk mode uses how much battery?

    The walk mode on my Rail 9.8 doesn't consume any electrons because it doesn't really work and I can''t use it. I think it is a common problem with smart system bikes that use a remote speed sensor.

    Other New Trek full power EMTB about to be launched

    Maybe there will be another bike coming out in the future, but the one being rolled out next week is not full power.

    Other New Trek full power EMTB about to be launched

    Finally got to see a real picture of the new bike and the specs. Release is next week. The inventory I saw available yesterday disappeared. Looks like it will be a blast in the mountains.

    What bike is that CX on? My circumference is set at 2211mm, though I would like the minimum 2100.

    Trek Rail upgrades, what have you done?

    The 2022 gen 3 Rail 9.8 were first to have the 1.8" lower headtube diameter. I use the FSA baseplate reducer to run a Fox 38. I have never been a fan of trek and specialized proprietary suspension designs. C-dale even more so.

    8 years of E-Biking

    My first ebike from 2006, five mile range at full-throttle at 12mph top speed. Ton of fun in tight single-track back then.

    Is my bosch motor dead?

    With 4k on the motor it might be a good idea to pull the cranks and install a seal kit (BDU4XX) if water ingress occurred. Save some headache in the future.

    E-Bike racing

    I have been racing xc ebike and stage races the past couple years when there is an E class, still racing single speed for USA cycling events. I run the carbon wheels off my bio bike with a 12-28 cassette, and they are fast in tight woods trails. I have not had much competition yet and usually my...

    Anyone removed the Trek Rail Battery Lock?

    You could also add the "bosch powertube damper plate", search under the Bosch section of this forum. No disconnect problems with my rail 9.8xt, but one of three friends with 9.8 have same issues as you. My rail 7 disconnects occasionally. I am in the middle of replacing the male battery plug...

    Anyone removed the Trek Rail Battery Lock?

    The Trek RIB system uses proprietary end caps for the battery cover and doesn't use the powertube mounting plate. I doubt the Pole system would work with the stock cover if at all. If it did work and eliminated the rattle, that would be great. I like the security of RIB on my commuter bike, on...

    Conversion - Installing Bosch Gen4 Speed in Bosch Gen4 CX Frame

    I posted this question last year, but about non-smart gen 4. Everything is the same except PCB, which limits container files that can be installed. I have not used a smart gen 4 line speed. I haven't tried the swap because I still use my commuter...

    Trek Rail upgrades, what have you done?

    I put 38s on my rails. I briefly thought about asthetics, but function over form. Friend speaks my mind. My KTM is usually pretty dirty, but I try to keep my H2 clean despite it wanting to spew oil everywhere.

    the obligatory newbie intro

    We have a lot of great trails in the Eastern Blue Ridge and Piedmont. Brevard is a zoo these days, and Dupont explicitly says no ebikes. Kanuga bike park near Hendersonville is ebike fun but is pay to play, a membership can be more cost effective. Too many Piedmont trails to list. Warrior Creek...

    Trek Rail 7 - Marzocchi Bomber CR coil shock

    The 2.5mm shims are two-piece so they can be installed around the shaft without talking the shock apart except for removing the spring and a cover plate. When you order a shim from Fox you only get half of a shim, therefore you need to order in pairs. I learned the hard way. Fox admittedly said...
