Troubleshooting
Motor not engaging or providing assistance
Ensure the battery is charged and properly seated. Check that the speed sensor is clean and correctly aligned. Consult the Bosch eBike system manual for error codes displayed on the controller.
Shifting is rough or inaccurate
Check derailleur hanger alignment. Ensure the shift cable is not frayed or kinked. Re-index the rear derailleur according to Shimano's specifications for the Deore M6100 system.
Suspension feels harsh or unresponsive
Verify correct air pressure in the RockShox fork and shock based on rider weight. Check for any obvious leaks or damage. Ensure lockout mechanisms are functioning correctly.
Brakes are weak or noisy
Inspect brake pads for wear. Clean rotors with a dedicated brake cleaner or isopropyl alcohol. Ensure the brake system is properly bled and free of air bubbles.
Battery not charging
Ensure the charger is plugged in correctly and the outlet is functional. Clean the battery contacts and charger pins. Try a different compatible charger if available.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon receiving the Trek Rail+ 5, initial setup typically involves installing the front wheel, handlebars, pedals, and making minor adjustments to suspension sag and drivetrain settings.

Care Instructions:
Cleaning: Regularly clean the frame, drivetrain, and suspension components with mild soap and water. Avoid high-pressure washing, especially near bearings and the motor.
Drivetrain Maintenance: Keep the chain clean and lubricated. Regularly check for wear on the cassette and chainrings. The Shimano Deore 12-speed system requires proper shifting technique and periodic adjustment.
Suspension: Follow RockShox's recommended service intervals for the fork and shock. Clean stanchions regularly to prevent seal damage.
Battery: Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures. For long-term storage, charge the battery to around 50-70%. Ensure the battery is securely locked in place when riding.
Brakes: Periodically check brake pad wear and fluid levels. Clean rotors with isopropyl alcohol if contaminated.
