Wisconsin’s Trek Bicycles released a new eBike earlier this week, and it’s ready to conquer urban life. Meet the new FX+7 City eBike. The FX+7 is a high-end, lightweight, city eBike that is “light enough to carry up stairs and powerful enough to fly up climbs.”

Let’s see…

The Trek FX+7

Lightweight, with a handle to carry it!

Claiming to weigh in at 40 lbs, the FX+7 could be heaven for the right commuter. It comes equipped with everything you may need on a bike like this. For instance, it comes complete with a rear rack that fits both MIK rear and side panniers, front and rear lights, and full coverage fenders.

The riding position is what Trek is calling “active”, which looks to me like an upright position, but with a slightly more aggressive posture. The FX+7 is equipped with a compact TQ HPR50 motor that delivers 50Nm of power.

With the stealthy, integrated 360Wh battery you get a claimed range of up to 50 miles and up to 75 miles with the optional 160Wh range extender. It boasts an assisted top speed of 28 mph and has a battery size of 360Wh.

Smart Phone Integration

Kinda buried in the specs is the fact that the FX+7 also offers true smartphone integration. It’s about time that ebikes offered the option of charging your phone as you ride, while using it for navigation, and that’s exactly what the FX+7 provides. Thanks to the Quad Lock wireless charging mount on the integrated handlebar and stem, you can seamlessly mount and charge your phone while riding. Trek doesn’t go into detail, but based off the specs of other Quad Lock charging mounts, it should be compatible with Apple and Android devices that are wireless charging compatible.

Riders can also connect to the Trek Central app to customize assist levels, get turn-by-turn directions, estimate range, plus much more. This means you can use your phone as the ebike display screen, but it’s completely optional since there is also a small display screen on the top tube.

The drivetrain on the Trek FX+7 is the durable and reliable Shimano CUES with Linkglide technology. This drivetrain offers smoother shifting, made for eBikes. Plus, it is very durable, offering longer life and less visits to the bike shop.

Do these sorts of bikes not usually come with droppers?

Right? Every city bike needs a dropper. I use mine constantly.

That is almost as light and as well equipped as the Cube Editor FE.

Bosch is doing a 400wh installed battery with a 250wh piggyback and the Cube is coming in at 37lbs in a 56cm and it’s also entirely hand built in house.

Trek…. not so much. Maye they’ll figure it out someday. Probably not since John Burke is such a POS.
