Incredibly fun bike. I’ve not been able to get it to a trail yet, but just biking in the neighborhood is great. The motor is essentially silent when riding and very fluid. Really an incredible value. I’m 5’11”. I went with the large size in Galaxy Grey. It fits me well, but I’m sure the medium would have fit too. I’m probably in between sizes.

Out of the box this bike was pretty good but did need a little derailer adjustment. After a few minutes of adjusting the B tension and one of the ends stops, the bike stopped chain skipping the lowest gear under high torque. I haven't had a chance to ride it on any hard trails yet but it seems very powerful and the best part is that its almost completely silent! The display is awesome and has a ton of info that you can access. My favorite is the sport screen with pedal input watts VS motor output watts. On boost mode the bike easily pushes 3-400% and is very smooth. It would be nice to be able to switch it to Class 1 so I could enter local e-mtb races but there isn't that option. The "smart BMS" isn't very smart imo. You cannot connect or read any type of faults, temperature or voltages, total or individual cell. This was almost a deal breaker for me but the company that makes the batteries seems to be quality. Speed - I've had it up to 32mph and the fork lockout is nice when you really want to hammer down! This bike actually makes pedaling fun again. For the price, its tough to beat.

This is my 40th year of riding analog mountain bikes, everything from early clunkers to a 10K+ full suspension cross country you could pick up with one hand. This is my first e-bike and my top criteria was sub 4K price. I wanted help on long climbs and to keep up on group rides but I'm still in decent shape for my age. So I wasn't sure if an e-bike was for me and didn't want to drop 4K+ on one until I knew for sure. My second top criteria is it must be a true mountain bike with a well rated mid-drive and no junk components. My choices narrowed down to the Aventon Ramblas and the Trailrush. I am totally pleased with my decision to go with the Trailrush. Holy-moley, what an outstanding bike for its price point! Some observations: - Excellent, well thought out packaging. Not one bit of shipping damage and it was ready to ride in 40 minutes, taking my time. - The Galaxy Gray color rocks! It has subtle rainbow metallic flake that catches the sun. It's like a party on the trail. - No junk components that wont stay in tune. Every item is trail worthy, serviceable and upgradable. It's all performing well on the punishing red rocks of Southern Utah. Higher tier components wouldn't make sense, several hundred or thousands more would shave off some ounces but frankly wouldn't be felt on a bike pushing 60 lbs. Kudos to the design team for a well spec'd bike at this price. - I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Brose motor! It's the star of the show. I appreciate how I can still get my workout using Eco mode but it makes this bike feel lively like its half to a third its weight when using Tour or Sport mode. I rarely need Boost mode except for the steepest, technical climbs. It's also literally silent in the lower modes and just a soft hum in Boost mode. What I changed: - I replaced the Exaform dropper post for a PNW Coast air suspension dropper post. Coming back to a hardtail at my age was a literal PITA, and this made the transition MUCH better. - I converted the tires to tubeless. And that's all I needed to do. The Trailrush is doing everything I'm asking of it. I'm not ditching my analog bike, but I actually look forward rides on my Trailrush. I can ride further, explore more and always finished with a smile on my face.

The components, price point, and previous experience with my wife's Portola made me decide to take the plunge and get my first eMTB. As an experienced rider accustomed to riding full suspension rigs, I was hesitant to go back to a hardtail, but I figured the tradeoff would be worth it, and after my initial ride, it sure was. Having on-demand power to finish hill climbs was such an experience that made it worth every penny. The transition back to a hardtail did force me to pick different lines than when I ride my full-suspension bike, since where I ride it's pretty rocky, but I knew that going into it. Overall, I'm satisfied with my purchase, and it is a welcome addition to my MTB stable.

YT@EbikesAreHere-- Phenomenal. How does Ride1Up pack such quality components into an e-bike for this price point? A killer bike--no better EMTB on the market with this type of quality and ride at this price!

Incredibly fun bike. I’ve not been able to get it to a trail yet, but just biking in the neighborhood is great.
The motor is essentially silent when riding and very fluid.
Really an incredible value.
I’m 5’11”. I went with the large size in Galaxy Grey. It fits me well, but I’m sure the medium would have fit too. I’m probably in between sizes.
I have had the bike for about two months now, and have had no problems. I like that it is so quiet, the pedal assist is very smooth, it has lots of power in boost mode, lots of range in tour mode, and handles rough trails well. The ride is more comfortable after I added a suspension seat post.
This bike has a high quality build for the price and the mid drive motor feels super natural. I love it! Just a heads up though, the galaxy gray color is more of an oil slick job in person. It looks almost purple/rainbow when hit by the light.
I’m just over 6” and the large frame fits me great!
Well constructed with well made components
No adjustments were needed to brakes, shifter, wheel trueness, head tube out of the box. I have bought several bikes shipped to me and have experienced various damaged or out of adjustment parts.
Comment: I’m 5’-8” barely and this bike (medium) is right at the top edge for me. In all fairness I’m 74 years old and lost an arm many years ago on construction. My problems are somewhat unique to me. Ive ridden it about 150 miles.
I am unfamiliar with the adjustable “on the fly” seat. It’s a heavy bike. If you move it by using the seat horn the seat can pull up. I don’t care for that.
The display is just too small for me. It has lots of info available but the detail is available for me only after I stop and look closer. However the info is there for you

Bought the Med Trailrush as a fun local trail bike for my quick getaways during the week. I’m in the Colorado Mountains so much of the single track is off limits but there is some tame intermediate trails that are easily accessible so the review is limited to some low key non techy singletrack. Given the limited frame size options I wish the stem and bars were more customizable. Had to replace both as a 35mm bar isn’t very compatible with the many 32mm stem configurations out there. Also the seat is just brutal. A bit too short in length and a bit to wide in the back to ever be comfortable. Was replaced the first week.
So far I have been getting 60+ miles of juice out of the battery and that includes 1500 ft of climbing. I do operate mostly in eco and tour mode so YMMV. I don’t see the need for 2.6 width tires. Hard to find tubes that don’t take up all the space in your seat bag and for most CC and touring riding these tires are overkill. Would have liked to see a 2.4 Rekon on the bike instead. Now for the good: Love the dropper post, I’ve never ridden with one so this is a fun surprise.
Shifting with the Deore system is nicer than I expected. I am used to XT set ups and can’t speak for the durability but out of the box, this shifts very effectively. Many complain that the display is small but frankly I like the small size and the fact is doesn’t take up much space on the bars. Not to much stuff to distract. Would be nice to have a link or manual on how to work the e motor system though.
I’m 5’11 and as back and forth on going Med or Large frame. Happy with the Medium after the stem, bar and seat change. Dropper post has about an inch to spare on the high end for a good fit. More power than I need as I do like to “bike”. 1.3 miles up my 9 grade hill home in sport mode does not break a sweat. (@760 ft vertical climb).
Would recommend as a fun ride to get an older guy (me) back on the Single Track.
Med frame. I'm 5"11 185 lbs and needed to fine tune with a new stem and bar set and saddle. But glad I didn't get a L frame.
Great product! Only complaint is with Brose and their display, too small making it hard to read assist level! Would love it if you came up with a kickstand that fit the frame of the TrailRush, the lower frame section is to tall for aftermarket stands!
