If you're looking for a high-end electric hybrid that feels like a traditional bike—but gives you a powerful, smooth boost—the Trek FX+ 7S sits at the top of the FX+ lineup.
This is Trek’s premium lightweight commuter eBike, built for riders who want speed, simplicity, and a natural ride feel without the bulk of a full-power eBike.
What Is the Trek FX+ 7S?
The FX+ 7S is a lightweight electric hybrid bike designed for commuting, fitness, and everyday riding with a more refined experience.
- TQ mid-drive motor (quiet, natural assist)
- Lightweight aluminum frame with carbon fork
- Integrated lights and commuter-ready features
- Smooth, high-quality Shimano CUES drivetrain
It’s built to feel like a normal bike—just faster and easier to ride.
What Makes the FX+ 7S Different
The FX+ 7S is very different from lower FX+ models like the 1 or 1S.
- No throttle — fully pedal-assist focused
- Mid-drive motor (more natural than hub motors)
- Lighter and more balanced ride feel
- More premium components and performance
This is a “cyclist’s eBike”—designed for riders who still want to pedal and stay engaged.
FX+ 7S vs FX+ 1 / 1S
| Feature | FX+ 7S | FX+ 1 / 1S |

| Ride Feel | Natural, bike-like | Motor-assisted feel |
| Throttle | No | Yes (on 1 / 1S) |
| Weight | Lighter | Heavier |

The FX+ 7S is built for performance. The FX+ 1/1S is built for ease.
Step-Over vs Midstep (FX+ 7S Options)
Step-Over (Traditional Frame)
