We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the Trek FX+ 7. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
16 reasons to buy
- The FX+ 7S is available as a step-through or mid-step, each in four sizes.
- Experts enjoy the agile and responsive handling.
- At around 42lb, the FX+ 7S is light for a city e-bike with a rack and fenders.
- All reviewers praise the “near-silent” TQ HPR50 motor for providing smooth and subtle assistance.
- Testers of the step-over frame appreciate the comfort and visibility afforded by the upright riding position.
- Most reviewers love how much the Trek FX+ 7 feels like a non-electric bike to ride.
- Testers say riding the bike without motor assistance is manageable.
- The FX+ 7S comes with integrated lights, fenders, and a MiK-compatible rear rack rated for 55lb.
- The stem has an integrated phone mount with wireless charging when paired with a Quad Lock phone case (purchased separately).
- The 10-speed Shimano CUES drivetrain (11-48t cassette, 46t chainring) provides ample gearing range.
- The FX+ 7 is compatible with an optional 160Wh range extender.
- Users can tune the torque sensor and each pedal assist level through Trek’s app.

- The low-key e-bike system, one-piece cockpit, and fully integrated cables provide a clean aesthetic.
- The Bontrager Paradigm rims are tubeless-ready.
- Trek provides a lifetime warranty on the frame and fork.
8 reasons not to buy
- Reviewers get just 15 to 20 miles of range in various real-world range tests.
- The one-piece handlebar and stem and internal cable routing limit fit adjustment and complicate servicing.
- Two reviewers complain of a harsh ride over broken pavement.
- The battery isn’t removable, so charging is less convenient.
- Testers lament having to take their eyes off the road for a long time to read the small, low-mounted display.
- Riders must remove a hand from the bars to operate the display, and one reviewer struggles to push the button while wearing gloves.
- One expert reports some motor resistance when exceeding the top assisted speed.
- A tester finds the remaining range estimate and battery indicator in the app inaccurate.
Bottom line
Trek's FX+ 7 is an electric city bike available in one build, the Class 3 FX+ 7S, with the choice of step-through or step-over frames. The incredibly smooth, subtle pedal assist, agile handling, and high-quality accessories impress. Poor range and weak motor assistance are trade-offs for the bike’s low weight. Some reviewers find the ride slightly harsh and the display poorly positioned. Overall, experts agree the FX+ 7S suits riders who are willing to forego power and range to enjoy the natural feel of a traditional bike. Trek’s FX+ 1 is a more affordable alternative.Expert Reviews
