    Powerfly vs rail review

    I have a powerfly lt8 2018 (3000+ km on the clock all off road) and hired 2 rails for a day from the lbs. Nice bikes but wont be upgrading as not much difference. Battery is bigger but heavier - stands to reason as no significant advances in battery energy density in the last few years. Most of...

    Swimming pool test?

    Why don't they just chuck new models in a swimming pool to test. Applies to all manufacturers, as far as I know none of them are waterproof . Can't be that hard can it. No reason an emtb can't be 100% waterproof.

    Chain lube suggestion please

    After 18 months and 2500 km's I'm still loving my trek powerfly..... although it does seem to be drinking muc off chain lube like its going out of fashion. 5 to 10 euros for 120ml does seem a little excessive. Anyone got any better value suggestions? Can I use my motocross bike chain lube?

    Official bosch ebike motor repair kit...

    Noticed this on ebay, a step in the right direction. It still only addresses a very specific although most common failure. I would still prefer to be able to order individual parts and fix it myself like i can with my motorcycle. Bosch E-Bike Electric Motor Bearing Service For Active...

    Right to repair my motor?

    As the weather worsens i find myself wondering when (not if) the motor on my beloved trek powerfly will fail. I reckon most mechanical things fail eventually. My next thought is how outrageous it is that none of the motor manufacturers sell spare parts for their motors. I can buy spares for all...

    2018 Powerfly 8 LT

    I have a 2018 Trek powerfly 8 LT which I love. I chose over the competition for a number of reasons. Firstly it's bosch powered. This means that the electronics are mainly contained within the motor rather than the battery (the levo has the electronics in the battery) I expect to wear out...

    Hi from Bucharest, Romania

    I'm the proud owner of 2018 Trek Powerfly 8 LT which I love. Im an expat and keep it in a storage locker. In the UK I use a enduro motorcycle to get my off road fix but the thought I'd try something new. The trek seems much more user friendly (lower maintenance, less expense, easier to find...
