11 Reasons to Buy the Trek FX+ 2 eBike

  • The Hyena Rider Assistant app optimizes the bike's performance to meet your needs.
  • The bike's rear hub motor is quiet so you can enjoy a natural ride that feels like a traditional bicycle with an added boost.
  • The PAS system has three optimized settings that provide noticeable variation in assistance. 
  • The 120-lumen headlamp offers excellent visibility and the fenders help you stay dry in wet conditions.
  • The kickstand mount keeps the bike upright and accessible, making it easy to grab and go.
  • The hydraulic disc brakes perform well even in heavy rain, ensuring consistent stopping power in various weather conditions.
  • The rear rack mount lets you easily transport items while commuting or running errands.
  • The loud bell ensures you can alert other riders or pedestrians to your presence for added safety.
  • It’s incredibly lightweight at just 40 lbs for effortless handling and maneuverability.
  • It comes in four sizes and three color options.
  • It has a range of 70 miles with the range extender battery system.

6 Reasons Not to Buy the Trek FX+ 2 eBike

  • It uses a regular chain, which may need more maintenance compared to the low-maintenance carbon belt drives on some high-end eBikes.
  • The bike's derailleur may need occasional adjustments to keep your shifting in tip-top shape.
  • The assist system is relatively simple, so it doesn’t automatically predict and adjust assistance levels like some advanced eBikes do.
  • The fully internal battery pack can only be replaced by a trained technician.
  • The LED display for battery status and pedal assist mode feels outdated compared to modern LCDs.
  • The lack of quick-release wheels requires tools for their removal.

"Ultimately, if the Trek FX+ 2 eBike was cheaper it would be a lot easier to recommend. It was a lot of fun to ride, easy to carry with its 40-pound weight, and has a very clean design."
