For years, I\u2019ve<\/span> had Trek\u2019s everyday commuter, the FX+ 2, as the top pick in our list of the Best Electric Bikes<\/a>. If you\u2019re new to bikes, $2,500 is a reasonable price for a reliable, everyday commuter that you can expect someone competent to assemble and repair for you.<\/p>\n

I was stoked to hear that Trek was updating the FX+ series, but I was a bit thrown by the move to the TQ HPR50 motor, which has a smooth pin ring drive\u2014a more expensive drivetrain system that we first saw on Trek\u2019s high-end mountain bikes<\/a>. The new FX+ 7S is silent and more powerful, but it does raise the price quite a bit. Still, as someone who spent $5,000 on their own everyday commuter, $4,000 is within a reasonable commuter price point. And<\/em> it’s less trouble than getting a motorcycle license.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s App<\/h2>\n

Several days ago, I parked the FX+ 7 in front of my parents\u2019 house. My dad came outside and shouted, \u201cWhat a beautiful bike!\u201d It is, just like its predecessor! I tested the small-size frame, which fit my 5’2″ self perfectly. (It\u2019s a step-through, so even if you\u2019re shorter it should work.) The frame is aluminum, and all the cables are routed internally, so it has a very clean look to it.<\/p>\n
