Golden Hour

We have had some challenges with our electric assist here and there but we have been and continue to work very hard to keep things running smoothly.
There are a lot of moving parts and sensors that have to work well together, plus it’s electric (boogie woogie woogie) and sometimes things don’t always go as planned.
In the event of a malfunction it is important to know our backup plan to make sure everyone can still have an enjoyable outing

If something happens that prevents your assist from working as it should:

You may need to work with another party during your return trip so that everyone may benefit from the assist.
Your neighbor in line behind you will be able to help you back with their motor. Each car that is functioning properly can assist up to 3 additional Railriders.

How it works

• If you have troubles, don’t struggle, stop where you are and wait for your neighbor to catch up behind you.
• Let them know you are having troubles, the cars have a little green belt in the zipper pocket of the seat. Use this to link your car bumpers together.

The rest works the same as the assist would on a standalone car

• Everyone pedals together to get the cars moving, it takes about 6 to 8 good pedal strokes to get going fast enough
• When the motor starts up everyone can pedal at a gentle relaxed pace and cruise along with the assist. You will repeat this at each remaining crossing.

We greatly appreciate your understanding if something might not work as we would prefer.
