FX+ 7
Origin
The FX+ 7 was introduced in November 2024 as the flagship of Trek's lightweight commuter line, bringing the TQ HPR50 mid-drive system — first seen on the Domane+ SLR — down to the city bike segment. The result is one of the rare urban e-bikes with a mid-mount motor at this weight: roughly 18 kg with rack, fenders, and lights included. The TQ harmonic pin ring transmission delivers 50 Nm in near silence, which marks the FX+ 7 apart from the louder hub-drive competition. Trek paired it with Shimano CUES LG400 LinkGlide gearing, the new commuter-targeted drivetrain designed for higher-torque e-bike abuse. The bike comes in standard, midstep, and longtail (LT) cargo variants, and pricing in Europe lands around €4,499 — premium for a city bike but undercuts most European TQ-equipped competitors.

The verdict
- Near-silent TQ HPR50 mid-drive with a natural, bike-like ride feel (motor stays out of the way)
- Lightweight for a fully-equipped city e-bike at ~18 kg with rack, fenders and lights
- Excellent handling and maneuverability; balanced, agile city ride
- Comes fully commute-ready out of the box (mudguards, integrated lights, rack, kickstand, Quad Lock charging mount)
- Durable Shimano CUES LinkGlide 1x10 drivetrain built for higher-torque e-bike loads
- Motor feels underpowered next to higher-torque rivals like Bosch — riders wanting strong push will be disappointed
- Modest 360 Wh battery and ~30-48 km real-world range; range extender costs extra
- Accessories (kickstand, rack) feel budget relative to the ~€4,499 / £4,000 price
- Integrated lights are insufficient for unlit roads
- Battery is internal and only dealer-removable — no convenient at-home swap, and limited cargo capacity from the lightweight rack
