    Buying an EMTB for the wife

    My wife was the reason why I ended up with an EMTB. She has been riding for bout 6 years, myself over 20. But we both recently turned 60. She was losing desire to ride due to the amount of climbing we have in our area. We rented some EMTB's on a vacation and it was an amazing eye-opening...

    Plug charger first into e-bike battery and then wall socket, or vice versa? (or it doesn't matter?)

    I've always plugged into the battery port first then the wall socket. However, I now use a surge and fuse protected power strip with a switch on it so I just flip off the switch and then the connection order doesn't matter.

    Trek Rail Pivot Protection Flap

    I went with Gorilla tape, cheap, quick and works.... Not the best looking mod though. Clearly an opportunity for someone with a 3D printer.

    Rail (625Wh) Air pump bracket that works on Rail 9.7 wide down tube (solved)

    Fortunately never experienced a plastic pump mount failure but good point Expidia on the threaded inserts not allowing much surface area. I added some plastic washers to level out the insert. Also suggest using blue Loctite and not tightening the bolts beyond snug. The Oneup pump is very tight...

    Rail (625Wh) Air pump bracket that works on Rail 9.7 wide down tube (solved)

    Problem solved! Sharing for others who may be having the same issue. My LBS had a Oneup brand EDC 100cc MTB pump and the bracket has slotted holes and is wide enough that the pump clears the frame. Returned my Topeak and replaced with this and all is good. It's a tad expensive but I tested the...

    Rail (625Wh) Air pump bracket that works on Rail 9.7 wide down tube (solved)

    I purchased a small tire pump and bracket that mounts under the water bottle cage. However, the down tube on the Rail is so wide that it does not fit properly as the pump rides on the frame. Has anyone run across a wider bracket for this situation? I could use spacers to move it up but the shock...

    EMTB newbie, Trek Rail excitement!

    Thanks for the welcome! We got our second ride in over the weekend, I am blown away at how good this bike is, for a 53 pound bike it performs amazingly well. The power is crazy good and I easily climbed a very steep hill that would be hard to walk up let alone pedal up, and I got up to 37 mph on...

    EMTB newbie, Trek Rail excitement!

    I've been a long time mountain biker going back to the days where 10 speeds were converted with motocross bars and knobby tires. A lot has changed over the years including my age. My last analog bike purchase was a Santa Cruz HT in 2020, I absolutely love the bike. However after moving into my...
