I have a 2021 trek rail with about 1200 miles on it. The motor has been bulletproof performance standpoint. I normally ride in EMTB mode when by myself or with my normal group and the motor is perfectly quiet. I also ride with a group of ex pro Moto guys who go fast as hell and I have to ride on...

I did the same thing. Bought a Rail 5 and I’m slowly upgrading it. Went full coil suspension and my next upgrade is the brakes. Not loving the Tekro’s at all. The rear brake seems to fade pretty bad. It will be as expensive as one of the higher end models when I’m done, but it will have the kit...

Pragrick, You might ask your LBS about this securing plate mod my LBS did.

My LBS so they needed to do the alignment procedure AND put some kind of plate in that will hold the battery better. It was a comedy of errors because the plate came in but didn’t have the screws they needed so it took more than a month to get the bike back. They replaced the cover but not the...

It’s true. My new Rail 5 tires were not tubeless ready. Trying to find 2.6’s in the US now but stock seems very low. Lots of 2.5’s available for some reason but don’t want to go narrower than the stock setup.

Just an update on this. Trek is replacing the painted outside cover but the battery tested ok on their diagnostics so no battery replacement under warranty. Apparently there is a service bulletin on this issue so in addition to the alignment procedure done by the shop, there is some kind of...

I agree Philly G, but then again it shouldn't be on the dealers to fix an issue the manufacturer should address with their own design. If this was a somewhat common issue on the 2020's it's pretty surprising they didn't address it for the 2021's. The ironic thing is I chose the Rail over the...

I’ve been busy as hell with work this week but talked to the manager of the Trek store yesterday and I’m brining it in today so they can do the alignment procedure, take pictures and submit a warranty request for a new battery. And yes...I will DEFINITELY use some kind of strap around the...

Thanks. I bought it from a Trek store so I will definitely contact them tomorrow to see if I can get a replacement.

So I got my Rail 5 on Monday. Messed around with a few things at the house that night including taking the battery out to see how it works and charges off the bike. Had my first ride last night and 15 minutes in my battery pops out when I'm doing about 15 mph and lands on the rocky ground. It...

Well I walked into the Trek store yesterday, looked around and saw no Rails as usual, but for the hell of it asked the sales guy if they had any coming in. He jumps on the computer and says “That’s weird, it shows we have a medium Rail 5.” This just happens to be the EXACT bike I want. Turns out...

Wow I am lucky...the emtb virus is spreading throughout my riding group and one of my buddy’s picked up a Cannondale Moterra with a Bosch motor yesterday and he is going to let me test it. My other friend is loaning me his Levo this weekend to test. At the rate I’m going I’ll probably stumble...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Doesn’t sound like lack of tunability is big issue and everybody seems to love the motor. Sounds like the Bosch motor will work fine if that’s the bike I end up getting.

Hello, I’ve been obsessing about getting an emtb for about 6 months now and I’m getting close to pulling the trigger…if I can find an actual bike anywhere. I finally got to ride a buddy’s bike the other day at my local trails. It was a Bulls with a Shimano E8000 motor. It was a fairly short...

Yeah I looked around our area and didn’t see many dealers selling them. Good to hear you like the bike. There haven’t been very many reviews of those things out there although The Loam Wolf just had one in their shoot out. I feel like I picked both the best and worst time to get an emtb...

Hey man, I’m over in Keller, TX. Don’t have an emtb yet but looking to get one soon. How do like the Yamaha? Where did you get it?
