Mounted flush in the top tube, the 2 ”OLED display allows you to see every detail you need from above while maintaining a discreet profile on the side. A single button turns the system on and off and allows you to switch between screens.
For maximum adjustability, Trek has developed the new Trek Central app that connects seamlessly with the Fuel EXe. Trek Central allows you to customize pedal assistance, track activities, map outputs, suggest or monitor tire and suspension pressure and view real-time range calculation. Customization of painting and components is always available on the Project One portal.
PRICES
Here is the sore point: e-bikes are now reaching levels a little too out of line for the true enthusiast: throwing € 15.000 for a bike is really getting it a little out of the box but the market is the market. Our Kom Cruise had deepened these issues: aluminum vs carbon e the price of the bikes.
GEOMETRY
BATTERY AND MOTOR
Fuel EXe is equipped with a 360 watt / hour battery that guarantees maximum power for two to five hours. The battery is hidden in the down tube and can be easily removed. For those wishing to cover longer distances, a 160 watt / hour Range Extender can be placed inside the bottle cage to increase range by 40%.
In collaboration with German robotics manufacturer TQ, Trek developed Fuel EXe to work perfectly with the new HPR50 engine. Short for harmonic pin ring drive, the HPR50 forgoes noisy, wear-prone belts and gears in favor of a completely revised system that is smaller, lighter, quieter and more durable than traditional e-bike motors. The whole system comes down to just 3.900 grams, which means a lighter bike that rides like traditional mountain bikes. When compared to traditional e-mountain bike motors, the HPR50 is smooth, natural and barely noticeable.
