Technologies
Electric bikes are not mopeds or scooters — there is no throttle. All a rider has to do is engage the Trek Syn Drive™ and determine a desired level of assistance and go. With breakthrough Ride+ technologies, we like to think of Ride+ really as your power, plus.
Syn Drive™
The Trek Syn Drive is a state-of-the-art electronic motor management system that constantly adjusts timing and power flow based on a rider’s pedaling force, resistance, and speed. In other word’s, it optimizes the power that flows through your Ride+ for a smooth riding experience.
Take a closer look at Syn Drive™.

Ride+ console
The Syn Drive is controlled — and the information is relayed to the rider — by an easy-to-read digital computer console that tracks battery life, assistance level, time, speed, and distance.

Rechargeable battery
Ride+ bikes are powered by lithium ion batteries built to hold their charge for an exceptionally long time. And when a battery is low, an indicator lets you know. Then, either slide the battery from the bike and plug it in to any outlet, or charge right on the bike.

Silent Drive™ motor
Trek Silent Drive is a high performance direct drive, brushless hub motor designed to eliminate the friction that wears down internal parts, and delivers a smooth, surprisingly quiet ride for years. Engineered to maximize the energy of the battery, Silent Drive provides 350 watts of high torque at a wide range of speeds, including riding up hills or pedaling into headwinds.

Regenerative braking
The advanced design of the Ride+ motor system utilizes regenerative braking to maximize battery life. While riding downhill, simply set the bike to regenerative mode — the bike keeps a consistent speed, and also charges the battery. On average, regenerative braking can create up to a 10% increase in battery capacity.
