# Pedal Bike-Inspired E-Bikes Trek's Domane+ SLR E-Bike is a True No-Frills E-Bike By Colin Smith | Published 2022-10-14 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/domane References: [bikerumor](https://bikerumor.com/trek-domaine-slr-e-road-bike-review/) & [trekbikes](https://www.trekbikes.com/ca/en_CA/)  [Trek](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fx-2) Bicycles launched the 'Domane+,' a no-frills e-bike with a design heavily inspired by traditional pedal bikes. This e-bike does not feature a smart display or Bluetooth-controlled riding modes to make it more similar to a manual bicycle. Additionally, the bike controls similarly to a traditional bike with the controls for brakes and gear shifts being embedded into the handles. The electric aspect of the Domane+ only comes into play when the bike determines that the rider could benefit from extra electric motorized pedal assistance. In addition to its [minimalist design and simplistic operation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/estarli-e28), the Domane+ is [incredibly lightweight, weighing only 25.9lbs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ponomarets-eidolon) when fully equipped. The bike achieves a max speed of 28 mph with its TQ-HPR50 motor, and reaches around 90 miles on a single charge with its 360 Wh battery.
