First Time Riding The Trek Rail 7 Mountain Bike

- I have never owned a mountain bike so I decided to go for it. I chose the Trek Rail 7 Mountain Bike. Here is my first ride!
I would consider myself a novice and picked a local area to test out the bike and get familiar with it and it's functions. This ride allowed me to better understand how it works and gave me a good idea of what accessories I would need. For example, ankle protection since the pedals already attacked my legs....lol.

Awesome and GREAT biking! You are really good! Very beautiful and very lovely road scenery views! Peace and joy always. 😀👍👍
Thank you... it is my first bike since I was a kid.... really enjoying it
That's a good looking bike, Bill. Oh the places you'll go. The things that you'll see. Good on you. Thanks for taking us with you on your first ride. Hope it's the first of many. 🙂
Thanks... yeah, it is going to be epic.... just trying to get all the safety and comfort equipment all set up. Great times ahead
RIght on! Nice bike - looks like a cool place to ride too!!
Thanks... it was fun. Looking forward to some cool rides
Very Nice Mr Bill. Be safe and have Fun
Thanks... a new hobby... now I have to balance my time
@@DigginSoCalOutdoorAdventures Guess you could rig a detector on the back of the bike and stop only when you have a decent number 😉
Wow looks like an awesome bike there Bill and looks like it rides smooth and be safe when out riding your bike
It is... I am looking forward to some awesome rides... hopefully not too many spills...lol

Mountain bikes are so much fun. E bike makes it even better. Great choice.
Thanks... lots to learn but looking forward to doing more than swinging a detector....
recently bought rail 9.8 gx axs gen 4 on sale for 6800 dollar. Holly shit what a bike this is. I have a gen 5 2022 Slash 9.8 xt also. Rail is less slacker than Slash, but rail riding is way more fun. I have ridden several specialized ebikes, YT decoy 4 also tried some other ebikes. I have not ridden anything as stable as a rail. The motor is an animal and the bike is so smooth and stable. Its almost like its gliding on the trails. You def got imo best ebike out there. It might be slightly more expensive than other bikes due to brand name, but still a menace of a bike. Also the design of the bike just spectacular. Whatever they say about Trek. Imo no other brand can make bikes look as sexy as Trek. I cant even count how many times people comment the looks of the bike, random kids cheering on the streets. Its a special bike.
I was hesitant of buying because it was 10k bike and i payed 7k of it and i actually never tried the bike before buying. When i picked the bike, after 10 mins of riding my way home all the remorse was gone. Now two months later, i cant even describe how much fun it was.
Love your comment. I have not been on a bike since I was way younger. My brother is really into bikes and after some research I made this choice and it did not disappoint. I think I got it on sale for just under 6K which I never thought I would spend on a bike. I thought I would not get much exercise with an ebike but it is not like the cheap ones that propel you. You do have to work and can work hard or a little less which I like. I do try and switch it up for a better workout and when I am beat, crank up the power a bit. I did have a nice fall but I was trying a climb I had no business doing and have a nice scar for my efforts...lol. thank you very much
@@DigginSoCalOutdoorAdventures Tbh i never had any issue with work output. Your legs work less, but your upperbody works way more because the bike is heavier. Also the fact that you will probably ride an ebike way longer makes up. I love my slash on downhill, but on flat trails with jumps etc, my legs are dead after an hour or two. On rail you can go for hours. Forexample today i had 70 kilomter on my rail. My record on my slash is about 45 km and my legs were absolutely destroyed after that cramping and all.
Also i can say one thing after about 2-3 months now on my rail i think the nervous systems changes and your perception adapts to the ebike motor. I picked the slash after like 2 months on rail and it felt superweird. It felt like i was riding while the breaks are on, its felt so tough to pedal. It was terrible feeling. I did some research and turns out its not legs that are weaker. But the perception and nervous system. My body adapted to the ebike and my brain expects way more speed from the amount effort i put in. Its really weird to describe. Try manual aftrer two months on rail and you will feel it. I will probably keep slash most for bikepark and downhill riding. Other than that, on just every day casual riding etc. Rail is on another level. My only issue with the bike is that the motor is restricted to 25 km/h in my country. I kinda wish it was like 35. 25km limit feels pretty slow on road riding. There is the delimiter option, but im afraid ill lose warranty
@@Stockfish1511 Totally agree and yes, one of my brothers' is cheaper and has no restriction... always blowing by on the road. Cheers
Wow that is a Cool looking bike Bill. While you learning it stick to some easy trails. No 4x4 stuff... yet. Learn that bike and what it can do, while leaning what you can do. Maybe a little later take us on a metal detecting adventure on it :) yeah
I am not a daredevil so no crazy stuff.... I am gonna see if I can make a set up I can take on the bike to get to some more remote areas to detect. The only draw back is I don't like to go alone so not sure where yet. I do have a couple ideas but need a road dog
Very nice Bill👍🤓👍
Got mine today, picked up a huge parcel and put it together.
Question, how do you start it? Does it need a key? Or just enough to press the button on the handle bar?
There are different types. Mine is pedal assist where as my sister has one with a power button. First thing is to get the battery charged. I have 4 levels of assist. Others, like my sisters has a key and she turns on the power and then has a power button which acts like a throttle. Hope that helps
Cool Ride ...
Thanks....
SO VERY GLAD YOU GOT A TRIAL BICYCLE ✝️🌞Ⓜ️ !?
👏👏💪💪👍
Now you can get out to the more remote places to treasure hunt! Congrats Bill. Looks pretty fun.
How much pedaling did you do vs what the motor did?
Very true... It is pedal assist so I do a lot of pedaling. It just makes it easier. It came with a Bosch motor
@@DigginSoCalOutdoorAdventures how is it going up a decent hill? I've thought about getting one for prospecting and some of those trails are semi steep
FRIST 😊👍 !? AWESOME 🤗!?
I am the same age as you and would be so scared that I fell off.
Yeah, I am just going for it... hopefully I don't brake a hip...lol
