Anyone removed the Trek Rail Battery Lock?

[Paulquattro]

Yes, it will only update the Kiox software, the bikes firmware can only be updated by a dealer

Must of been posting in and around the same time

 

[Nautical Biker]

Thanks, just wanted to be sure

Slightly off topic - but I thought might quickly pose a question to this knowledgeable audience before starting a new thread; my eBike Connect app has notified me of a Kiox software update, which can be applied from my phone via Bluetooth. Is this for the Kiox module only? I'm not sure if any new motor modes will be implemented, i.e. losing the custom Trek EMTB Lite mode in favour of Tour+ if I install the upgrade.

I just noticed the update notification also a few days ago, but it was on the Kiox screen. Sounds like it will only update the Kiox software and not the motor firmware.

It seems that way. Good job, I like the eMTB Lite mode.

@Animal80 - Norway - do you want me to post to Norway from the UK? Not sure if it would be cheaper than Arron posting it directly to you from NZ?

@BuzzinHornets - USA

(one of you guys need to volunteer to receive the batch shipment from Arron and then distribute to others within the US)

@Y0daBear - AUS - probably easier for you to deal directly with @Arron M

I’m in aus but please leave Y0daBear on the list so I don’t forget anyone. @Y0daBear where are you located?

@Animal80 it’ll be $30AUD for shipping from Aus to Norway.

I was thinking a blanking grommet
The hole diameter is 15mm most blanking grommets in that size zone come in 16mm so near enough.

The batch of 12 have been shipped and I have the tracking number.

One member has pulled out. Three have not paid.

I therefor have 4 spare brackets that are available on a first come first served basis.

 

[Dave_B]

Fitting instructions.

 

[Dave_B]

Also note you need a T25 security bit for the existing battery mount bolts.

 

[Dave_B]

by the way, because of people dropping out and not paying, I am £160 out of pocket on this, so if you have friends who want one of these brackets, please do let me know.

Sorry to hear this :-(

I can probably help - just posted to my Instagram story.

Looking forward to getting mine fitted!

I know its crap but have you posted on the trek rail FB page.

Looks like two of the purchasers haven't been on all week, so may just not be aware (or hob nob got eaten by mutated cattle on the way home from work). One has only made one post and not been on since, so possibly fly by night.

As there are only a few of these available in the UK, I expect prices will rocket and there's a good chance you maybe hit with a windfall tax.

 

[Dave_B]

I have tried to reach out to the three who have not paid several times, not sure what else to do

 

[Bomble]

Hobnob has previous for being a timewaster, weird guy.
