Bottom line
The Trek Fetch+ 2 is a long-tail cargo e-bike with a Bosch Cargo Line motor and 482Wh battery. The build quality, powerful motor, gearing, and wide height range impress experts. The bike handles well when loaded and feels stable as long as both hands are on the handlebars. Complaints include a harsh ride, poor range, undersized brake rotors, and low derailleur ground clearance. Adding fenders and cargo accessories to this bike can significantly increase the already high price, and the accessory choice is limited. Overall, experts are underwhelmed by the Fetch+ 2 at this price point. Alternatively, consider Tern's GSD S10.
