I also made tests before took the bike to Trek dealer:
Removed battery and put back (several times) = Error 510
Reset the battery by pressing on/off-button several seconds = Error 510 (I hadn't heard about this before)
Removed cranks = Error 510
Removed chain and chainring = Error 510
Took the...
I got the 510 error code and it was persistent straight from the first time. Purion showed the error code eventhough the motor was off the frame. For me the error was not location dependent.
Purion worked ok but there was no assistance.
Bosch replaced the motor with new one. This happened...
Hopefully mudhugger makes production version of the prototype that has longer protection for the seattube. I couldn't care less of the looks as long as it makes washing the bike easier.
You still have consider that most of us don't work in the bike industry so therefore it's quite natural to explain exceptional things in exceptional manners. You have though widened many aspects on the current situation for us and I think that's good.
You can/could buy the Trek Rail 5 with 500wh or 625wh battery. I bought and paid for the 625wh version and got the 500wh. Later on changed the batteries in the battery frame and send the 500wh back to shop. Didn't notice any difference.
I just can't see point why these normal heavy longtravel...
That's a great idea. I already have a hand luggage that matches my skirt.
Not sure if joking or not, but I think with that idea you kind of lose the advantage of weight saving.
My assumptation is that: Seems not to be as bike companies are not producing such bikes. They are not so stupid that they would produce bikes that don't sell. Sometimes you have to think that the requirement you propose is ok for a marginal group.
Meanwhile at Trek HQ: Hold my beer.... e-caliber...
My Rail 5 came initially with wrong 500wh battery. Got it changed to correct 625wh battery. Only difference that I noticed was the amount of range in Purion.
Technically yes but it's kind of really hard to see what could be the use case that I would personally somehow adjust the amount of batteries.
I recognise that I'm not a pro to adjust my bikes suspension - how could I make the decision on the batteries? Suspension plays (my opionion) much...
Wrong. The Bosch Powertube weights 3.5kg. The eBike battery: long range, low weight, easy to charge
If we look back to history we kind of had the lighter batteries with less capacity. The battery technology is not ebike dependent so the same rules apply than "anything" else that uses...
Generally
Would be absolutely surprising if the Trek wouldn't had thought all this before pushing the button. Could it be that electric assistance brings up models that previously was not needed. Sometimes the need is born at the sametime with the product.
No it's not.
It's either one of these:
Internal Drive Unit software error → Motor support is switched off
Internal Drive Unit software error→ Delayed motor support in the starting phase
I updated the 85 Nm firmware in July 2020 and the EMTB Lite December 2020. They seem to be two different options when updating your bike.
Actually I'm not sure if the 85 Nm is anymore today an option or does it come by default.
