Saw a 2021 Domane+LT 54cm (a few scratches but brand new) sitting on the floor for sale for $3999.99. Offered them $3500 but said they’d meet that half way at $3750.00. Send me a pm if you want to know where in the Midwest you can see it.

Thinking of a trip out west. Your fav (non-MTB) trails in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming? Wifey don't EMTB!

Decided to haul just the Rail 5 for a planned Friday of paved trail (27 miles) and a Saturday of mtb trails. Original Bontrager XR4 Comp tires aren’t the best for 27 paved miles but otherwise it was great day of food, fun, and a great ride by the Root River. Saturday was a blast on the Van...

I may have an opportunity. Any experts know what year and model this is?

My new Rail came with some very thick chain oil/grease. With less than 100 miles, the chain is fairly dirty but I’ve always heard one should leave the original lube on. Thoughts?

Just wondering what ebike accessories you bought with high hopes that just didn't work out. I recently bought an Animaris seat post and it worked fine but I just didn’t like it. My other seat post is a very basic Bontrager “suspension” seat post. Just thought I’d like the Animaris better but I...

With our three Trek RIB ebikes our battery strategy is a simple one. I wanted all three of our Treks to be adjusted to allow any of our 4 batteries to fit just in case we have any issues in the future. We have found that our Rail 5 and our Allant+7 Lowstep can share batteries straight out of the...

My new Rail 5 is an almost perfect ebike with only about 35 miles on it. I’ve been dealing with an irritating raspy noise from the front brake since the day I bought it. It’s very infrequent, sometimes loud, sometimes non-existent, and it happens even when I’m coasting along a perfect paved path...

How its made.

Yet another reminder to wear your helmet AND dont drink and drive! Don’t know why they bothered to specifically point out that it was an ebike. https://www.the-sun.com/news/3081675/grandad-dies-electric-bike-drink-driving/

I lucked out and found a Trek Rail 5 EMTB on the internet this last weekend. Times being what they are, there were only two Rail 5 mediums in the national system for the sports chain where I found it. The other was a Sheel’s store in Dallas, Texas, (as of last Friday) in case you're...

Well, dumb luck finally pays off! After being told by everyone that I probably wouldn’t be able to get a Powerfly FS 9 Equip or a Rail 5 till this time 2022, I FOUND A RAIL 5 (medium frame) sitting in plain sight on the internet. One of only two nationwide in this sports chain, I bought it sight...

Jeep’s new stations will help a whole new generation of e-vehicles gain acceptance. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a35951567/jeep-charging-network-off-road/

So it’s going on 8 months now since I ordered one and still no word on availability. C’mon Bosch!

I took it for a test and liked it but $5k seems a bit outrageous. They have a small Levo SL too but $7k is nuts. Is this part of the recent price increases?

I started a thread about this in the Bosch forum but have since found it is Trek specific. Here’s the thread… https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/emtb-lite.42800/

So I remember someone mentioning an EMTB-Lite vs Touring mode update. Anyone actually get this, what bike was it, and how is it going? What version is it?

Talked with Specialized and Trek dealers this last weekend and it was made clear to me that, if it ain’t in stock, you may well be looking at 2022. The lesson to me is take damn good care of what you have!!

A shop I know is going to be involved with new Marins and I want some recent feedback on them.

I’m working on a covered truck bed rack system for longer trips starting this spring. It’s got to allow lockable inside storage for two Allant+7 ebikes with a quick and secure mounting system that doesn’t call for drilling into the bed. And I‘m not removing any wheels! First step was to find a...
