Trek electric bikes: performance and durability

"Why aren't any high-performance bikes made in the USA?" Trek was born in 1975 in search of the answer to this question. Today, it stands as the world's No. 1 manufacturer of high-performance bicycles. The American manufacturer designs ultra-light, hybrid electric bikes that you can ride anywhere, regardless of your physical condition.

Since entering the electric bike market in 2010 with a model equipped with a BionX motor, Trek has rapidly established itself as a benchmark brand for quality and performance. Trek electric-assist bicycles (EABs) are particularly renowned for their reliability, thanks in particular to their lifetime frame warranty.

In addition to its high-end range, Trek also offers reconditioned electric bikes, providing a more affordable solution without compromising quality.

How does a Trek electric bicycle work?

Like all electrically-assisted bicycles (EABs), Trek's electric bikes are powered by a motor and a battery, which are activated when you pedal. This assistance system enables you to easily reach a maximum speed of 25 km/h, while reducing the effort required. Once you've reached this speed, the motor switches off automatically. You can also adjust the intensity of the electric assistance to suit your needs, whether for difficult climbs or more relaxing rides.

The Trek electric bike battery requires regular recharging, with intervals varying according to your energy consumption and frequency of use. The process of recharging an electric bike is simple: simply plug the battery into an electrical outlet using the supplied charger. In just a few hours, you'll be fully autonomous and ready for new cycling adventures.
