Trek presents today its new FX+ 7, a high-end, lightweight, and high-performance electric city bike.
When you take a tour in a Trek store, you know perfectly well that you are not going to find an e-bike at a bargain price. The brand has specialized in high-end bikes, a positioning that has worked quite well for them and that they have no reason to question.
Designed to provide good assistance while climbing and remaining light enough to be easily carried up stairs, this nice Trek FX+ 7 perfectly meets the needs for daily commuting in urban environments. With complete equipment to support cyclists in all their adventures, the FX+ 7 is presented as the ideal tool for city centers and multi-story buildings. An e-bike with an exclusively urban purpose, yet it does not seem opposed to a few small trips into the forest.
Lightweight for better agility, Trek for better resilience
The FX+ 7 weighs only 18 kg, thanks in part to a carbon fork. It is equipped with a powerful and lightweight TQ HPR50 motor, boasting a torque of 50 Nm. The internal 360Wh fixed battery provides enough autonomy for daily commuting and a small trip to the organic market on the weekend. An additional 160Wh range extender allows for escaping the urban concrete when the need arises.
A Quad Lock port on the stem allows for easy attachment and charging of a smartphone connected to the Trek Central app. This app enables users to display and customize the level of assistance, get navigation, or estimate autonomy.
At 4,559 euros, it is not necessarily within everyone’s budget, but its price is simply in line with its features. There are certainly cheaper options to get into e-biking, and a Decathlon Riverside 540 E, an Intersport Nakamura Crossover, or a Granville E-Urban are certainly heavier and more rugged, but they do the job just as well for half the price. However, if you can afford a nice, reliable, modern bike with proven technology, it is not foolish to invest in such a machine.
