Rugged Commuter Bikes

Trek Launched the FX+ 2 in Two Configurations for Commuters

— November 22, 2022 — Autos
Trek Bikes launched its latest commuter-focused electric bicycle for 2022, the 'FX+ 2.' This bike is available in two main configurations, the FX+ 2 Standard and the FX+ 2 Stagger. The two models feature the same motor and battery, but they differ in frame size and frame style. The FX+ 2 comes with a standard step-over frame, while the Stagger boasts an accessible step-through frame.

Both models boast a 250W HyDrive hub drive motor combined with a 250 Wh battery pack. This results in a maximum quoted range of 35 miles per charge, and a speed that will vary greatly based on the riding conditions. This is due to the 9-speed Shimano drive system and the multiple electric assistance modes.

The Trek Bikes FX+ 2 and FX+ 2 Stagger are available now from Trek Bikes at an MSRP of $2,499 USD.
