The Trek Fuel EXe is an E-MTB for riders who wish to retain the same handling, both up and down the mountain, as a non-pedal assist bike, but want just a bit more power to pack in a few extra laps. This mild assistance paired with the bike’s intuitive handling earned it the nickname “user friendly” during our lightweight E-MTB head-to-head test. But be ready to put down some extra watts of your own if you’re riding with friends with larger and more powerful drive systems! Learn more about the Fuel EXe in our full YouTube review!
