Explore more on electric mountain bikes - Trek Bikes

Explore farther, rip harder. Trek electric mountain bikes let you conquer climbs and crush laps with natural-feeling boost that makes light work of sky-high trails that point straight up, so you can get to the top without feeling winded for the down. Our e-MTBs give you the same trail-taming tech as our traditional mountain bikes because they are built on the same legacy of frame and suspension tech that’s been trail-tested and trusted for decades.

Ride it, rally it, and power back to the top for more.

e-Mountain bikes are trail-savvy bikes with an electric assist system that boosts your own power. They help you cruise up steep climbs with ease and conquer longer days in the saddle. Like a traditional mountain bike, e-MTBs are built with rock-gobbling suspension and rugged frames that can handle rocks and roots, so you can count on them to keep rolling through the rough.

Trek e-MTBs use a pedal assist motor. Pedal assist systems provide power that helps keep your wheels spinning when you pedal and switches off support when you stop pedaling for a natural-feeling ride and control weaving through tight, technical singletrack.

All Trek electric mountain bikes are built with mid-drive motors that are located at the center of your bike, near the front chainring. Mid-drive motors provide a stable center of gravity and are available with a huge range of power capacities to give you the right amount of support for how you want to ride.

Electric mountain bikes give your personal pedal power a boost, so the only thing taking your breath away is the view at the top of the climb. They empower you to ride farther, ride faster, soar up steep trails, and tackle more grin-inducing miles with friends.

What makes Trek and Electra e-bikes different?

The e-systems on Trek and Electra e-bikes are third-party tested to comply with leading e-bike safety regulations, including the rigourous UL 2849 standard. This standard is set by Underwriters Laboratories, an independent organization that develops safety standards for a variety of industries.

Q: How do I choose an e-mountain bike?
A:We offer a variety of electric mountain bike models that are both hardtail and full suspension. It really depends on the terrain you'll be riding and how much range, torque, and battery power you need. If you still have questions, we're here to help. Reach out to us or stop by your local Trek retailer and we'd be happy to help you find the perfect e-mountain bike for your needs. Or, if you want to find one now, try our E-bike Finder.

Q: Why would I choose an e-mountain bike over a regular mountain bike?
A:Unlike a traditional mountain bike, e-MTBs can provide you with an extra boost to tackle longer trail rides, steeper climbs, and keep up with your ride group. With models like the Marlin+, you can even add a rack to turn it into an electric commuter bike. While the trade off is weight in most cases with an e-mountain bike, newer e-systems like TQ, minimize this difference.

Q: What should I look for in an electric mountain bike?
A:First, you always want to make sure your e-MTB is UL compliant so it can be safely charged and stored. All Trek and Electra e-bikes are compliant to the UL2849 standard. Next, you'll want to look for a quality e-system from a reputable manufacturer like Bosch, Hyena, or TQ. Those companies provide long-term service and support for their products so your investment can last. Finally, you want to look for quality components like front and rear shocks, drivetrains, brakes, and wheels designed to withstand the force and weight of an e-mountain bike. Trek prides itself on making some of the best (award-winning) e-bikes on the market.

Q: Should I buy an electric hardtail mountain bike or a full suspension electric mountain bike?
A:The travel, location on the frame, and type of suspension you need really comes down to two things:
1. Where you ride! For example, if you’re riding a downhill course, you'd want a full suspension e-mountain bike with enough travel to soak up bumps while keeping you connected to the trail.
2. Personal preference. Some riders might prefer the lightweight feel and simplicity of a hardtail compared to the extra suspension and traction offered by a full suspension eMTB. We recommend stopping by your local Trek retailer and talking to our mountain bike experts who can help you find the perfect electric mountain bike for your riding style.

Q: What is the average range of an electric mountain bike?
A:Depending on battery capacity, riding speed, and terrain, range can vary anywhere from 2 to 5 hours on a single charge. Some eMTB models have Range Extenders to provide more range if you’re looking to ride longer between charges.
