Frame:

Every Trek frame carries a lifetime warranty with a generous crash replacement scheme should the worst happen out on the trails.

Components fitted the bike

All components fitted to the bike are covered under warranty by the respective manufacturer which is typically two years however in some cases, this can vary and items such as suspension are subject to servicing being carried out.

Electrics

TQ offers a 2 year warranty on the motor, battery and the ancillary parts required for the system to operate such as the display, speed sensor and wiring.

Whether or not a bike is supplied with pedals is at the discretion of the manufacturer. If you select the technical tab on any product page you will see 'pedals' as a one of the items and here it will tell you if they come as standard from the manufacturer. By reducing the number of components included with a new bike, manufacturers can minimise waste and packaging. With so many different types of pedal available it's unlikely that anything manufacturers include will suit everyone. If you require pedals and they are not listed as included in the specification of your chosen bike you can find the range that we offer here and of course if you are unsure please get in touch for some friendly advice.

Yes, all of the brands we deal with carry a large number of spare parts to support their customers. If you have purchased a bike from MTB Monster, our rider support team will work with you and the team at Trek to get you the parts you need as soon as possible.

The electric bikes that we sell at MTB Monster are completely legal to ride in the UK, both on-road and off-road. The maximum speed that an ebike can be assisted to in the UK is 15.5mph (25kph). It is easily possible to ride an ebike faster than 15.5mph but the motor will not offer any assistance beyond this point. The Trek Slash+ 9.7 is set at the maximum level of assistance permitted in the UK.

Pedal bikes with electric support up to 15.5mph (25 km/h) are regarded as equivalent to bicycles by law and therefore, do not require vehicle insurance, a registration plate or a driving license

Yes most upgrades on the Trek Slash+ 9.7 are fine, if you fancy changing the brakes, adding some blingy new grips, or maybe a change of fork, you're welcome to make these changes. However, just make sure they are both suitable & compatible with the bike.

Please note with E-bikes:

Changes in gearing or wheel size will need to be reflected in the motor programming as this can affect speed ratings, and this is where it starts to get tricky as it will require the brand's authorisation. Typically changing anything to do with the motor system of an electric bike is not recommended unless advised otherwise by the bike/motor manufacturer.

How you store the Trek Slash+ 9.7 is pivotal for maintaining its condition and ensuring the e-bike is ready to go when you are. Ebike's should be stored clean and dry in a cool environment between 10 to 20°C, with the battery level between 30-60%.

If a battery is ever stored separate to your bike, again make sure it's stored in an area without significant temperature fluctuations. Somewhere that endures extreme temperature changes – such as an outdoor shed for example.

Batteries are highly complex components and are designed to offer a long service life. The service life of the battery is influenced by several factors such as the amount of charge cycles, intensity of usage, charging practice and storage temperatures. That being said, under typical use of going out riding a few times a week, you should expect to get a couple of years of riding without any problems, as that has been our experience for 99% of the ebikes we have sold to date.

Also it's worth bearing in mind, we still have plenty of customers riding bikes purchased over 5 years ago with the original battery, and very rarely do we have customers complain about battery issues. And for peace of mind, if anything was to happen, the batteries themselves are covered by warranty for the first 2 years of use.

Lithium-Ion batteries are, provided certain precautions are met, are safe.

The high-quality lithium-ion batteries fitted to our range of e-bikes are equipped with a Battery Management System (BMS) which is continuously acting to detect potential sources of error and protects the cells from overload, undervoltage, overheating and short-circuiting.

According to the Bicycle Association there is a very low risk from un-modified legal Electric Assist Pedal Cycles (EAPCs – street-legal eBikes) if bought complete with their approved batteries and chargers, from reputable brands, sold by reputable retailers, and handled according to the manufacturer's' instructions.

All of our bike brands we sell, and the electrical componentry they use on their e-bikes, are fully regulated and adhere to the highest standards. It's also worth noting, that they are simply worlds apart in terms of safety, when compared to cheap unregulated imported e-bikes that you would find on any online auction sites.

The internal battery stays shielded from roots, rocks and knocks, but can easily be pulled out with just your multi tool.

Having ridden bikes equipped with a TQ motor, in our experience the TQ-HPR50 can handle 30-36 miles of heavy usage in a mix of modes; Eco, Mid and High, though challenging hilly off road terrain.

The Range Extender is a compact 160Wh external battery which adds up to 44% more range. The extender fits nearly into a standard bottle cage or can be fitted using a Fidlock adapter for a sleek integration. If we have the range extender in stock, we will add a purchase link on the technical tab of the product page (next to range extender) to add to your shopping cart if required.

If we have the range extender in stock, we will add a purchase link on the technical tab of the product page (next to range extender) to add to your shopping cart if required.

For fire safety, couriers have restrictions that prevent the shipping of electric bikes with more than 30% charge. This will be more than enough to take your new bike for a quick spin but the bike will require a full charge prior to your first proper ride

The battery is integrated in the downtube and is charged through the port on the frame.

The best practice is to firstly connect the charger to the charger port then plug into the wall socket. This way the charger will automatically switch on and start charging your battery when connected to the wall socket and switch off supply once the bike is fully charged therefore preventing overcharging the battery. As the battery is charged the display (if fitted) will also be charged up at the same time.

It takes about 2-3 hours to charge the internal battery for the TQ-HPR50 e-bike system and to get ready for your next adventure.

The motor on the Trek Slash+ 9.7 is protected by a plastic guard which will shield the motor from the worst of the trail conditions and will act as a sacrificial part to protect the motor from impact should you require it.

The first step is to contact your HR department or your accountant to check that you are eligible to access a voucher and discuss any questions that you might have about how the scheme is run at your workplace.

Once you have confirmed that you are eligible for a voucher, it's best to place a £200 deposit here to reserve the bike of your choice to prevent stock from selling out while your voucher is being arranged.

You are more than welcome to place a £200 deposit to reserve the bike while you are finalizing your payment method to prevent the bike from selling out in the meantime.

We are more than happy to reserve a bike for up to 3 weeks but please let us know if you need us to reserve the bike for longer so that we can best know your situation and accommodate this.

If you want to place a £200 deposit, please fill out the options on the product page to reveal a pre-order button (see image below).

Absolutely, the best way to reserve a new model is to place a £200 pre-order which will reserve an allocation to receive one of the first bikes. Without a deposit in place, there is a good chance that the bike may sell out before it comes into stock.
