The company’s new model stands out for its straightforward design and practical features, making it an ideal choice for city commuters and first-time e-bike buyers.

The bike’s battery is hidden in the frame, giving it a stylish look

The FX+ 2 is not just any bike; it’s a lightweight, versatile ride designed to tackle urban environments with ease. It weighs only 17 kilos (37 pounds), making it easy to handle for riders of all sizes. Powered by a motor from Hyena, a renowned name in e-bike technology, it offers 40 Nm of torque, enough power to smooth out city inclines. The bike’s battery is smartly hidden in the frame, providing up to 56 kilometers (35 miles) of travel on a full charge, though terrain and riding style can affect this distance.

Trek has made the FX+ 2 incredibly user-friendly, offering it in various frame sizes and styles to suit different riders. Its compatibility with Bluetooth allows for seamless connection to the Trek Central app, where riders can monitor their trip details and adjust settings easily from their phones.

Equipped with a quality Shimano Altus nine-speed drivetrain and Promax hydraulic disc brakes, the FX+ 2 ensures a reliable and safe ride. It also comes with a rear rack for carrying essentials and supports the MIK system for attaching accessories quickly and securely.

Priced at $1,999 USD, down from $2,499 USD, the FX+ 2 is an attractive option for those wanting to join the e-bike movement without spending a lot. Trek’s new e-bike is perfect for urban adventurers looking for a mix of tech, performance, and value.

The post Trek Unveils the FX+ 2 Electric Bike, and It is Accessory-Friendly appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Trek Marlin+ electric mountain bike has just been announced. The new Trek offering is a hardtails electric mountain bike that comes with the Bosch-powered mid-drive system and an affordable price tag. The Trek Marlin+ e-bike comes with a 120mm front suspension, 27.5/ 29-inch wheels and 2.6-inch tires.

Features

The Marlin+ retains some of the features of the non-electric Marlin but the Bosch-powered mid-drive setup in the new eMTB sets it apart, coupled with its affordable price. The Bosch e-bike drive system consists of the Bosch Active Line Plus mid-drive motor, a Bosch CompactTube 400 battery, and a Bosch Purion display. The e-bike has a maximum torque rating of 50Nm to help navigate uphill with some extra pedal effort. The battery has a capacity of 400Wh and is fully encased within the frame, providing for a more efficient performance. The battery is charged directly on the bike with a connector above the electric motor.

The Trek Marlin+ has a 250Wh auxiliary battery that extends the range of the eMTB by up to 60%. It is unclear what the original range of the Marlin+ will be and the range extension could be dependent on the ride mode implemented.

Pricing and Availability

The Trek Marlin+ eMTB is priced in the US at $2,699 and this places it as one of the most affordable Trek e-bikes in the market. It is also one of the most affordable Bosch-powered mid-drive eMTB. The fact that it is a Bosch-powered e-bike, coupled with it being a Trek offering, comes with a decent warranty and access to local bike stores to test drive the e-bike. The Marlin+ has an entry-level motor and the battery seems small as well. However, the price considerations may have warranted the chosen combination for the Trek Marlin+.
