I've owned 3 versions of the trail since the company launch in 2016, currently I ride the F5 converted to a commuter bike. I just got it in November and I have 3500 miles on it. I had the same budget as you and settled on the Trail. I really like the high torque motor (m600). It's a bit loud but...

I have the 2.4" super motos but it sure seems to me it would take the 2.8's but the chain stays would be full. Fenders might be a bit of a problem at that point (if that's an issue). I don't have a throttle hooked up, I don't care for them so I don't know what the programing is but I'd be...

There’s a number of folks with G1’s on the Facebook group “ride FLX”

Sorry it’s been a while since I had a gen 1. The light module is the only thing in that section of the downtube. Fire the bike up and see if that’s hot when the lights are turned on.

Speed sensor I suspect

Thanks I now have 400 miles on it and love the ride. Aside from my upgrade from the 36v bafang M400 max to the 48v M600 i gotta say the supermoto tires up from the Big Bens is the grandest riding improvement. So much more stable and smooth....I'm a little shocked at how big the difference is...

I see now you’ve checked out the posts on the Facebook group, so you have all the details

I don’t care for the touring components, preferring to purchase my own. That said the new seatpost they sell is nice, lights are nice (I’ve since installed a headlight). The rack is ok and the fenders are usually worthless for my needs.

this is what he found at Robert Axel Project The threading on the axle will require you to buy a nut and washer from the hardware store

If you tolerate Facebook we have a decent owners group there to supplement the company’s efforts at support https://www.facebook.com/groups/1746144735641088

You can buy from FLX but they may not have in stock. Email [email protected]. Someone on the FB owners group said they found a decent replacement from https://robertaxleproject.com/

I upgraded to an F5 Trail and had a plan to turn it into a cushy commuter. So far I really like how it rides, very much like a Frey CC but 20#s lighter. The M600 isn’t the ultra but that 20 lbs isn’t nothing. I love the supermotos, they really soften the rough streets

How hard is it to remove the rear wheel for a flat repair? Has anyone attached a trailer (hitch) to the rear axel?

I would hope to be able to sit on it, anything more would require a face to face conversation at the least.
