Trek’s first eBike with a throttle?

Trek announced today their all-new FX+ 1 an urban delight, now with the addition of throttle assist. The brand continues to bring the same riding comfort, lightweight design, and capabilities we’ve come to expect from the FX+ family.

Featuring an easy-to-use throttle system, Trek FX+ 1 delivers an instant boost with just the push of a button, and comes available in tow models to meet eBike regulations here in the US.

The FX+ 1S is a Class 2/3 model with a top speed up to 28mph with pedal assist. Meanwhile, the Class 2 FX+ 1 version will have a top speed up to 20mph. That’s two separate models to best suit your local and state eBike speed regulations.

All bikes will feature the EasyMag. This is part of the new tech that has us most excited. After fussing with charge ports and getting that perfect alignment sorted while bending over in the garage looking upside down, or fishing in the dark to plug in your eBike, the EasyMag is the simplest and most effective way to charge an eBike we’ve seen.

The EasyMag from Trek is a portable charging system, similar to charging systems we’re familiar with, however, it attaches magnetically to the bike.

Simply place the charge cord directly onto the charging port of the frame and it will magnetically stick into place in any orientation. This is something we’ve long waited for in the world of eBikes and are excited to see. Another benefit in being magnetic is that there is no damage to be had if accidentally tripping on the cord while charging your bike.

Trek’s FX+ 1 will have built-in turn signals and a rear brake light added to both models enhancing road visibility.

For power, there will be a 520Wh integrated battery offering up to 50 miles of range. This will be accompanied by the Hyena 500w 60Nm rear hub drive unit and an integrated full-color LED screen.
