The Trek Fuel EXe torques up a 140mm Trail Bike with brand new TQ-HPR50 motor seamlessly integrated into its full carbon frame
For the heavier riders out there, the bike’s maximum system weight is another major consideration. The Fuel EXe is competitive on that front with a maximumweight of 136 kg . Even with the heaviest EX 9.5 model approaching 20 kg, that leaves 116 kg for the rider and their gear. The published maximum payload for the Specialized Turbo Levo SL is 109 kg. This is 117 kg for the Orbea Rise .
The TQ-HPR50 system is not just a motor of course; TQ are producing the whole package including the batteries, remote, display unit, firmware, software and apps. TQ started out in 1994 in Southern Bavaria, Germany, from a two-man shop in barn. Now, almost 30 years later, they are a leading international tech company with more than 1,700 employees. They made a name for themselves with electronic components and embedded systems, but have been in the eBike game since 2008.
Trek first set eyes on TQ’s Harmonic Pin Ring Technology at Eurobike in 2018. A prototype motor was fitted to a modified Trek Rail; that product wasn’t exactly what Trek were after, but they saw the potential of the lightweight, super compact motor and so the partnership began.It is the Harmonic Pin Ring Transmission that allows TQ to build a nested motor construction round the bottom bracket, allowing the motor to seamlessly integrate into the Trek Fuel EXe.
On the Fuel EXe, the 2″ O-LED display unit is the control hub for the system, seamlessly integrated into the top tube. Here you can see all your ride stats, as well as how much battery you have left. A small, simple, two-button remote on the handlebar allows the rider to switch between assist modes without taking their hand off the grip, and without taking their eyes off the trail.
