'To be honest, it’s my favourite model in their line right now!

'Considering that this is Trek’s most affordable electric bike, it really doesn’t feel like they sacrificed on the parts that matter (the drivetrain and safety). One happy benefit of the smaller, more efficient motor here, is that it uses energy slower, and should get 30 to 80+ miles per charge depending on your weight, terrain, wind etc.'

Features

Bosch Active Line

The Bosch Active Motor offers 48 Nm of torque for a smooth ride and just the right amount of support. The 250-watt motor is centrally located near the bottom bracket and supports speeds of up to 25 km/h (15 mph).

Bosch Purion Display

Bosch's Purion display features a fully-functional speedometer with a backlit display, service interval indicator and battery range indicator. Its thoughtful design allows riders to scroll through functions or choose the right level of support while maintaining contact with the handlebars.

Bosch PowerPack 400

The premium Bosch lithium-ion battery features 400 Wh and a guaranteed long lifespan. It is 50% charged in just 1.5 hours and completely charged in 3.5 hours. The battery not only ensures long distances, but is also easy to remove and take with you.

Alpha Gold Aluminium frame

Our high-performance lightweight aluminium is continuously cold extruded and butted, and formed into manipulated tube shapes to balance strength and save weight.

Mid-motor placement

The motor is housed around the bottom bracket, keeping the centre of balance lower for the ultimate in stability, comfort and control.

Hydraulic disc brakes

Hydraulic disc brakes on Trek e-bikes offer the ultimate in stopping power and braking precision, so you can ride with confidence and control under power.

Ergo grips

Specially designed grips take your hand shape into account for more comfort and greater control.

Hard-Case Ultimate

Bontrager's top level of defence is the best of both worlds, combining the benefits of Hard-Case with the proven sub-tread protection of Hard-Case Lite for a tyre that accelerates quicker, rolls faster and lasts longer than competing brands. The ultimate in flat protection!

Mudguards

Mudguards make it easier to go by bike, keeping you cleaner and drier in less-than-perfect conditions.
