Why this decision

  • The Bosch mid-drive system and torque-responsive assistance target a natural pedal feel and balanced climbing behaviour.
  • Hydraulic disc brakes, wide puncture-resistant tires, a suspension seatpost, lights, fenders, a lock, and a rear rack are documented.
  • Trek's Canadian dealer network provides fitting, assembly, service, Bosch diagnostics, warranty, and replacement-battery routes.

Check before buying

The verified price is a discount and may change; it remains $799.94 above the Townie and $300.93 above the Radster.

The 400 Wh battery is smaller than the Radster's 720 Wh pack, and comparable real-world range has not been established.
