    Trek Rail Gen4 vs Gen3

    I was waiting for a Rail Gen4 that was going to take 100 days wait while a Gen3 was ready to go. I was tempted to cancel the Gen4 order and get the Gen3 quicker. But, last week the Gen4 arrived after only 30 days. This was consistent with what Trek had previously said that they tend to...

    Trek Rail Gen4 vs Gen3

    I asked because derestricting is not restricted to only speed. https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/bosch-gen-4-cx-motor.32007/#:~:text=kalli%2520said%253A,%E2%80%9D%2520goes%2520up%2520to%2520300%2525. “The biggest thing for me was the pedal resistance which is almost unnoticeable in...

    Trek Rail Gen4 vs Gen3

    Is there a way to get the Gen3 to produce 340% pedal assist? I ask because the pedal assist for the Gen4 is at 340% whereas it is 300% for the Gen3. The Gen4 has a 100 day order wait time, whereas the Gen3 is available to ship. And the Gen3 is about $2,000 cheaper. Thanks!

    YES! I have a couple Stihls including the 500i. After a fire lots of logs come down. I also have an EGO 19” for the urban work. I heard wonders about the Milwaukee from Hawaii dirtbike riders as you do not have to dismount to use it. I tend to carry a manual chainsaw chain with handles...

    I hope I can wait that long. About 5 years ago I was able to get double deals there and ordered a Haibike hardtail 24” for my son. That way when he was 7 he could ride with me. I still use that bike with a Bosch motor to commute to work. I remember the promoter telling me I could not go wrong...

    I found a comparison table for the Bosch motors. It is telling. It discloses and contrasts “Rated continuous output” with “Maximum Power”: https://www.bosch-ebike.com/us/products/drive-units There seems to be more correlation between torque and “Max. power at a cadence of 70 rpm”.

    Hey Aiteui, Yes, I appreciate the picture. It clarifies the concept. I come from an electric trials bike world. There motors are measured by how many Watts you can feed them. Some are 750 Watts. Torque I thought of as the second derivative of speed. It makes sense if your motor is putting...

    These are great responses. Samjlevy, I am already thinking of $10,000 but it depends as I could go higher or lower. I ride with NICA and some manufacturers have great coach discounts plus everyone is talking about a glut in ebikes. The Crestline looks cool and it seems similar to the...

    Looking for the Top Dog emtb

    I am a 50+ advanced rider (I ride trials, enduro, etc) with a worsening knee condition and arthritis. So, I am looking for technically my first mountain ebike. It would allow me to continue coaching my son’s mtb team. Ideally the bike I am looking for would be among the best e-mountain bikes...
