• A great all-around electric bike that's capable on city streets and light trail, it replaces the Trek Dual Sport+ from earlier years. Proven Bosch Peformance Line CX motor with shift detection. The high-step frame has mounts for adding a second battery pack (Bosch Range Boost) to double capacity, but the step-thru does not
• Durable and quiet plastic fenders, sleek and sturdy Racktime rear rack, bright integrated lights with side windows to maximize visual footprint, reflective tires and high-contrast paint accents keep you seen.
• Excellent weight distribution, clean integrated battery pack with Trek RIB casing for easy handling (because it has a built-in handle). Powerful smooth 180mm hydraulic disc brakes. Highly adjustable coil spring suspension fork with lockout, preload, and rebound
• The bike only comes in one color, but each frame type has three sizes for optimal fit. Trek has a vast network of dealers and is recognized as one of the "big three" ebike manufacturers. The Bosch Purion display is a bit limited but leaves plenty of room for Trek Blendr stem mounted accessories. Bosch CX motor is powerful, but louder than some competing products

To run the forums, host the website, and travel, I charge a universal service fee for my reviews. This in-depth review was sponsored by Trek. My goal is to be transparent and unbiased with you, this video and writeup are not meant to be an endorsement of Trek products. I welcome your corrections, additions, and feedback in the comments below and the Trek electric bike forums .

Observations:

• The Trek Allant+ models replace the older Trek Dual Sport+ , which was a hardtail hybrid ebike designed for use in city and light trail environments. The frame is purpose-built with internally routed cables and an arched hydroformed top tube that looks beautiful
• The Allant+ 7 Lowstep is not compatible with the optional Bosch Range Boost battery pack… so if you plan on using this ebike for long range trekking or touring and know that you want a second pack to double battery capacity, consider the Diamond (high-step) frame or look at other trek models like the Allant+ 7S which is a speed pedelec available in the United States, which comes in a staggered mid-step design and is compatible with Range Boost
• Trek is one of the “Big Three” bicycle manufacturers along with Giant and Specialized. Trek started out in 1975 making hand-brazed steel frames, and since then they have grown into a global powerhouse in the cycling industry with distributors in 90 different countries and hundreds of dealers which assemble and support the products. There are more frame size options with each model here than with many other brands
• You might notice the Bontrager name on a lot of components in this review, Bontrager is Trek’s in-house component brand and is therefore common on many of Trek’s electric bikes
• A sporty, comfortable, all-purpose electric bike with slightly wider all-terrain tires, highly adjustable spring suspension fork, and capable 180mm Shimano hydraulic disc brakes. The Allant+ models replace the older Dual Sport+ models from Trek
• Higher quality included fenders, rear rack, and integrated lights make this an excellent choice for commuters. Optional second battery pack (for the high-step frame only) make this a good choice for trekking or touring
• The fenders are fairly nice, black support arms blend in with the color scheme of the frame (black chainring protector, black suspension fork with anodized stanchions, black spokes, hubs etc.), they are wide enough and long enough to provide good coverage in wet conditions, they didn’t rattle much (but occasionally a little rock would get flicked up and click around), and they will be lighter and more durable than steel or aluminum alloy
• The rear rack is fairly narrow and almost looks like it’s free-standing, but there’s a sturdy metal piece that hides under the fender and connects to the seat stay arch. This rack uses standard gauge tubing, so it will be compatible with more accessories. It has bungee loops at the base of the main support arms, it’s compatible with Racktime slide accessories, and it’s rated up to 25kg 55lbs which is great
• The front fender is connected directly to the suspension fork lowers vs. plastic cuffs like on many other ebikes. This upgraded fork with direct mounts means your fender won’t get bumped out of position as easily, and you won’t hear it rubbing on the tire nubs
• Trek has this ABC safety campaign of “always on, biomotion, contrast” which you can see in the silver paint accents, reflective tires, and integrated lights. The headlight is mounted to the base of the steer tube vs. the arch of the suspension, so it’s sprung and won’t bounce around but it still points where you steer. Both the headlight and rear light are extra bright and have side windows to keep you visible from more angles. The headlight has a mirror design inside that keeps light pointing down at the road/trail vs. up into the eyes of oncoming traffic/cyclists. The bike also comes with a flick bell that seemed like it would last
• The Allant+ 7 comes in three frame sizes for both step-thru and high-step models! This provides a great range of fit options, and they scale the stem and crank arms to each frame. Since Trek has lots of dealers, you can actually go in and find the perfect size for the best ride experience
• Both the high-step and step-thru models have bottle cage bosses, though the high-step has two and the step-thru only has one. I appreciate the positioning of the bottle mount on the step-thru because it’s far up the top tube and out of the way
• Great kickstand position, it’s far back, clear of the left crank arm so you won’t get heel strikes when pedaling. It’s also positioned directly below the rack to support heavier loads
• The Allant+ 7 uses a 31.6mm seat post, which is fairly wide. This provides strength and many possibilities for seat post droppers and suspension posts. This is a good consideration for people with back, neck, and shoulder sensitivity, or if you ride frequently and over long distances
• I like most of the accessories that Trek chose here, the locking ergonomic grips, highly adjustable suspension fork (with lockout, preload, and rebound adjust), the saddle, and the extra large plastic platform pedals
• The tapered headtube and 15mm thru-axle are sturdy, more trail-capable hardware, and it means you could upgrade to an even nicer air suspension fork someday if you wished vs. a straight 1-1/8″ with a 9mm quick release axle
• Great rims and tire choice, I think this is one area where Trek saved weight on the bike. Notice the width of the Alexrims and how they have 32 spokes vs. 36. These are higher quality double-wall rims that support the slightly wider 2.25″ wide Schwalbe G-One tires that have an “all around” puncture resistant casing. By choosing a 27.5″ diameter wheel vs. 26″ they are offering a smoother ride over bumps due to lower attack angle and more cushion because of increased air volume
• Trek designed a battery system called RIB (removable integrated battery) that is basically a shield with a handle that is screwed onto the Bosch PowerTube battery pack. This RIB system is easy to remove from the right side of the frame and safer to carry around. You can charge the battery on or off the bike, and you can charge two batteries simultaneously if you get the optional Bosch Range Boost battery… both packs drain simultaneously as well, so you won’t over-cycle one pack with shorter rides
• I consider this ebike to be fairly lightweight at ~47lbs, especially considering the rack, fenders, and lights that come standard. However, you can reduce the weight of the bike by another 7.1lbs by removing the battery pack. This is a great approach for lifting the bike or transporting it on car racks. I have been taught that storing the bike at half full and away from extreme heat is best for the lithium-ion cells. Extreme cold will temporarily stunt the battery, and limit range, but isn’t as damaging as extreme heat
• The battery pack locks into the frame using an ABUS core with PLUS keys that can be matched to ABUS locks, it’s a great setup and one of the highest-end locksets around, more info on the official ABUS website
• Trek chose the 4 amp Bosch charger for faster turnaround time, which is especially relevant for people who opt into the second battery pack for the high-step. The charger is relatively lightweight, compact, and can fill the battery on or off the frame without the need for any dongles. The proprietary plug interface is durable and won’t get confused with other charging devices you might own… it’s my favorite charger!
• Compared to the equally-priced 2019 Trek Dual Sport+, the motor is massively upgraded. The Allant+ 7 uses the top-of-the-line Bosch Performance Line CX, which offers up to 75 newton meters of torque. It’s going to spend battery power faster than the standard Performance Line or Active Line motors, but it’s very satisfying and trail capable for starting and climbing
• The Bosch Performance Line CX motor has gotten a lot smaller and lighter than the fourth generation, weighing 2.5lbs less than Gen 3. I like how Trek has added a vented aluminum alloy skid plate below, to reduce damage if you hit a rock or log
• The Bosch electric bike motor controller measures rear wheel speed, pedal cadence, and pedal torque over 1,000 times per second and is one of the more reliable and reputable ebike drive systems around. Bosch has partnered with Magura in North America to provide great customer support if issues arise
• Trek, Shimano, and Bosch probably worked together so that the rear wheel speed sensor could be mounted to the disc brake rotor mount vs. the wheel spoke. This means the sensor will be more durable and read with more accuracy over time. It won’t imbalance the wheel or make one spoke loose over time… it’s a great little upgrade
• With the compact motor and internally mounted Bosch Powertube battery pack, this ebike is fairly stealthy. It doesn’t stand out, the cables are mostly internally routed and the ebike system weight is kept low and center for better handling
• The Bosch Purion display panel is compact and intuitive, but it still provides dynamic range readouts, which can help reduce range anxiety on longer bike rides. Just hold the – key to cycle from trip distance, total distance, assist level, and then range. I like how small the Bosch Purion is, and how simple it is to use with power, +, -, and walk mode on the base. This display leaves plenty of room on the handlebars to mount your phone or use one of Trek’s Blendr stem mounts for additional lights, cycle computers, Garmin devices, or your smartphone
• All of the Gen 4 Bosch Performance Line motors now offer 120+ RPM pedal support, meaning that the motor can keep up with greater than 120 pedal strokes per minute, so you won’t be left without power when downshifting and spinning approaching a steep hill
• I love the 9-speed drivetrain setup here, with a wide 11-36 tooth spread and reliable Shimano Alivio derailleur. Notice the custom aluminum alloy derailleur guard that Trek has designed! This will reduce damage from sticks, rocks, and bike tips
• The steel chainring is designed with a narrow-wide tooth pattern that locks the chain more securely to prevent drops. To protect the chain and keep your pants clean, they’ve added an aluminum alloy guard to the outside of the chainring and the’ve added a clear plastic slap guard to the right chainstay to keep the paint looking nice
• Trek chose one of my favorite trigger shifter setups for this bike, the high shifter paddle can be pushed or pulled so you can use your index finger or thumb, and the low shifter paddle can be pressed through three gears to “dump” a bunch of gears going into a big climb
• Since the Bosch motor controller offers shift detection, the drivetrain should hold up longer between tuneups, and your chain and sprockets won’t wear as much. It’s not a perfect system, you can still mash gears, but shift detection certainly helps… I usually ease off when shifting gears, to reduce drivetrain pressure
• Only the high-step frame is compatible with the optional Bosch Range Boost second battery pack, if you get the step-thru, you’ll be limited to 500 watt hours with the internal Bosch PowerTube battery
• Only the high-step frame has two bottle cage bosses, the step-thru only has one… but the positioning is very good, near the head tube on the top tube which means it won’t get in the way as you stand over the frame
• Despite being lighter and more compact than the third generation of Bosch Motors, the 4th generation still produces noticeable sound during operation. This is especially true in higher levels of assist and at higher pedal cadence rates
• The Bosch Performance Line motors have a larger q-factor than competing mid-drive units from Shimano, Yamaha, and Brose. The width is 175mm and that spaces the crank arms out a bit further… not that big of a deal, but worth mentioning because a standard analog bicycle q-factor is 145mm to 157mm on road, city, and gravel bikes
• Part of me really likes the Trek designed Removable Integrated Battery RIB casing design because of the built-in handle and right-side removability from the frame, but I dislike that it adds roughly 1.3lbs to the battery, that the shield is color-matched to the bike (making it less attractive to swap between other Trek models if you own multiple bikes), that the locking core is positioned on the left side of the frame vs. the right, and that the key must be used to mount the battery vs. simply pushing hard on the case to click it into the frame
• Neither wheel is setup with quick release, you’ll need a 5mm and 6mm hex key wrench to get both wheels off. You could always swap the hardware for quick release, and benefits include increased security and decreased weight… but it’s less convenient for trail maintenance and requires two tools on hand vs. just one size hex key
• The Bosch Purion display panel is compact and provides plenty of space for accessories, but it isn’t removable, and doesn’t show power output, avg speed, max speed, trip time, clock or shift recommendation. It also uses a 5-bar battery infographic representing 20% steps vs. 10 bars or an actual percentage readout for more precision… at least it does show a dynamic range estimate
• Given the high capacity battery pack (and optional second pack for the high-step frame), it would be nice to have a USB port to plug a phone in for use with GPS, music, or other portable electronics… the Bosch Purion display panel has a Micro USB port, but this is only usable for data transfer and updates, not charging. Consider swapping the display for a Bosch Intuvia , Kiox , or the COBI Smartphone Hub system which do have active Micro USB charging ports, dealers can help with this for a hardware and service fee
• The location of the battery charging port is very low on the left side of the seat tube, pretty close to the left crank arm. When plugged in, the charging cable actually blocks the rotation path of the left crank, so be careful not to bump the pedals, or consider charging the battery off the bike. It would be easier and safer to have the charging port up high on the right side of the bike
• This is a minor thing, but the chainring doesn’t cycle backwards when you backpedal, this changes how drivetrain service is done… you basically need a bike maintenance stand or a friend to lift the bike and pedal to clean and lubricate the chain (absolutely make sure the bike is powered off when doing this!). One positive note here, is that Bosch has setup the bottom bracket with some resistance so the cranks won’t spin as freely backwards, which could lead to more shin scrapes and shin bumps otherwise
• As with any premium electric bike with name brand components and a leading drive system that is custom-integrated into the frame, this ebike costs more money, but at least it is sold through a vast network dealers who can offer support and comes with a great 2+ year comprehensive warranty
• The bike only comes in one color, Glossy Nautical Navy, which looks professional and is gender neutral, but this is an expensive bike and some people might want a more visible white or silver frame. At least the accent colors are bright, the tires have reflective stripes, and the bike comes with two bright lights that are visible from many angles

Stephen mercier.

Court I understand you cannot use a Bosch powerpack 500 as the 2nd battery. That is a shame since I already own a few. Which bike do you personally prefer at their respective price points, The Allant + 7 or the Verve 3+ ?

Hi Stephen! I think that you CAN use the PowerPack 500 as the second battery pack, as long as you buy the mount from Trek. I’m not 100% sure if they sell it independently or include the battery. The only bike that is not compatible with the PowerPack 500 Range Boost is the step-thru version of the Allant+ 7 :) I personally do like the Verve models, but the suspension on the Allant+ 7 wins me over for sure, it’s more comfortable and with my sensitive back and neck, it’s something I’d happily pay for.

I was informed by Trek That a Quill Stem with Adjustable Riser is an available part for $29.99 . Works with All the Alliant Models : Comes in 85 mm and 105 mm lengths and is listed here .

Awesome! That’s a good find, thanks Rick. My experience with adjustable angle stems is that they can get a little loose over time if you ride off-road. Keep an eye on the bolts, tighten it occasionally if you feel play, and I hope it works great for you!

Ryan Miller

Great review as always Court! I’m trading in my Bulls Urban Evo for the S version of this in the states. So Speed-Pedelec that is available in Silver. Only thing I dislike is the Purion display. I want to upgrade to the Bosch Kiox if possible. Court, do you know if that can be an upgrade made on this bike? Thanks!

Hi Ryan, that’s awesome! I’d love to hear your thoughts once the bike arrives and you get some time in the saddle. Did you enjoy your BULLS Urban EVO? I liked that one too. Anyway, yeah! I do think it’s possible to swap Purion to Kiox, you just need a shop that will order and install it for you (and possibly update the software so it’s all current). The only issues I see is if Bosch is currently unwilling to sell a Kiox on its own due to supply limitations or marketing purposes ie. encouraging price tiering with bikes that use Kiox vs. Purion. I’d love to hear what you come up with. You could call Propel Bikes in Long Beach or Brooklyn to ask, if you don’t have a local/willing Bosch dealer.

I did like the Urban Evo. Have had it for couple years. Part of reason I’m trading in is due to lack of Bulls dealers and service here in Iowa though. Trek is big here and our biggest dealer is Trek specific. I went with the Urban Evo back then after watching your review and wanting a speed pedelec but Trek (only brand ever rode) didn’t have any back then. The Allant+ 7S has a lot of same specs as my Bulls plus I can get the double battery with the Trek and the full service with our dealer. I CAN get the Kiox head unit but just not in stock currently but not a big deal right now.

I did look at a newer Bulls bike you reviewed but with lack of dealers (only 1 in Iowa) and price nearly $1,000 more than the Trek I decided against it and go back to Trek.

Want to ride while we are in this quarantine!

Am I reading this right that the two axles require different size hex keys? What is that all about?

Yep, that surprised me as well. Not sure why they didn’t try to match them. There are a lot of little details to consider when building an ebike, and often times, a front and rear axle may be longer, thicker, quick release or not… so I can see how the bolt would be slightly different. This may come from sourcing standardized parts at a cheaper rate vs. making their own axles that match perfectly. It’s a small detail that most wouldn’t notice, I’m glad you caught that and brought it up, Doug ;)

Richard Ireland

I don’t see that as an issue if you carry a proper bike multi-tool.

Hi Court, thank you for a great YouTube channel and website! I’m looking for a bike for pavement and light trail duty. This Trek seems to fit the bill, but when I look at your “best bike” list, the OHM Quest is by implication a potentially better option. All things considered, would you say the OHM is still a better choice? I’m 68 yrs old, 6′ tall, 175 lbs and looking for a ride that’s easy on the wrists, and light as possible in a less than $4K price range.

Hi Mark! Great question… these two ebikes are very comparable. What you get from Trek with the Allant+ series is more dealers who can let you test ride, help you get fitted, and provide post-purchase support. I reviewed OHM earlier in the year, and they got the spot… maybe it’s time to look over things again closely. All ebikes have their trade-offs. I really like the CX motor on the Allant+, but it is louder than the Quest. Both have the beautiful in-downtube battery integration, and both have great headlight positioning (though I prefer the slightly higher OHM for safety and being seen by cars). Trek has the second battery option on some frames, and I prefer their compact Bosch charger… but the stand-over height is taller for the high-step. In short, these are very competitive products that both deserve a high ranking. It’s difficult to pick just one ebike, and I thought OHM did an outstanding job with their product, so that’s why they are number one right now. Here’s a link to our compare page, loaded with both models , so you can compare stats back to back ;) good luck and please chime in with which bike you get and how you like it!

Thanks for the thoughtful and detailed response to my original question. I decided to buy the Trek for quick availability and local co/dealer considerations. I was disappointed with the initial dealer set up but after a pointed discussion he made things right. Overall I am happy with the bike. It’s a comfortable and smooth bike. I am surprised how easy it is to ride without any motor boost given the relatively large tire width and weight. I find the motor to be really noisy, even at the Eco setting with a slow cadence. My wife has a Priority Embark which is virtually silent by comparison. My other nit pick, as you have mentioned in other reviews, is the Trek-disabled features on the Purion controller. It’s interesting Trek provides a pile of manuals but I haven’t found any mention of the disabled light switch and walk functions.

Ralph Wager

Question, really. You mention the shift sensing feature, but in the Trek ad it shows as optional. How can I tell if I have it? Is it a hardware or software issue? Also, if I set the gears down a couple of notches for a hill, if I don’t do it early enough the bike wants to stop. I actually fell over once due to this. What’s a good technique for starting when on an uphill slope?

Hi Ralph! The shift detection feature is controlled by software, and included automatically with all Gen 2, 3, and 4 generation motors that are not configured for internally geared hubs or CVT hubs. Since the Trek Allant+ 7 has a cassette + derailleur, the Bosch motor will automatically perform shift detection. It’s not a perfect system however, they didn’t want it to cut motor power completely… just ease off a bit. This makes it high performance (more natural feeling) while still achieving some level of hardware protection. It’s something that you might not even notice unless you compared it to other ebike mid-drive motors from Shimano, Yamaha, Brose, or MAHLE.

As for your second question, yes… it’s important to shift down to lower gears well before the bike has moved onto an incline. If you wait until the last moment and try to switch quickly, you will strain the derailleur and mash the gears (possibly bending the teeth on the cassette sprockets). Sometimes riders who are new, or just distracted by talking to friends or looking out for cars, will forget to shift until they feel the difficulty increasing, which means that they are already well into an incline and momentum is slowing. In these cases, it’s best to get off the bike and walk it up the hill vs. trying to shift. More experienced or powerful riders can stand up and take a couple of hard pedal strokes, then shift down gears as the bike coasts and they release pedal pressure. This is what I do when mountain biking if I’ve miscalculated a climb… but it takes a lot of balance and requires more work. Please be careful not to tip over, just stop and then put a foot down if you’re struggling. Shift before climbs, keep your view farther out so you know what’s coming up… I hope this helps :)

just had a very scary ride. Going downhill about 20 mph, touched the brakes and the bike started to shimmy violently. I thought I would crash, but fortunately was able to stop safely. I had set the shock preload on my Allant 7+ to minimum, thinking I would get a smoother ride. Could this have caused such a violent shimmy? At the shop I took it to, the manager reset the preload and rode it with no problem. They think I’m crazy, but it was definitely shimmying badly. Any ideas? I’m afraid to ride it now as I am 81 and don’t need a fall. Thanks

Tyson Roehrkasse

Hey Ralph, glad to hear you were able to stop safely – that sounds like a scary experience! I had a similar experience while riding a different bike, the problem was that the quick-release for my front wheel was not tightened up enough, so activating the brake would cause the wheel to tilt sideways a bit. I believe that the Allant+ 7 does not have quick-release though, so that’s unlikely the cause in this case. You might try posting on the EBR Trek Forum to see if any other Trek riders can help!

I had a scary experience on my Trek Allant 7+ recently. I was going down a hill about 20mph and nearing the bottom starting around an easy curve the front wheel started shimmying violently. I really thought I would crash, but I was able to brake to a stop without falling. I wonder if anyone else has had this happen and what might have caused it. I took it to the shop and they said there were no mechanical problems. I had loosened the shock pre-load, thinking I would get a smoother ride. However, both the shop mechs and Trek support said that shouldn’t have caused my problem. I noticed that the first thing the shop guy did before riding it was to tighten that pre-load. I have ridden about 15 miles on it since then with the pre-load in mid range and it feels fine now. Any thoughts about this? I’m still a little nervous going fast downhill, but I have had it up to 30 mph with no problem.

Hi Ralph! I wonder if you were experiencing “speed wobble” which happens if the weight of the rider and cargo is towards the back and the fork is a bit slack. I’ve experienced this while riding some step-thru models that had flexy frames, and this could be similar to your loosened preload setting (creating some play and flex in the fork). I’m glad it hasn’t happened again. It sounds like you’re doing a good job by riding slower, tightening preload a bit, and keeping your hands on the handlebars ;)

The dinger on my bell would not ring as it was touching the bell, so I shorten the dinger with sand paper and working good now. Do not remove too much.

Great tip bill! Thanks :D

Paul Schutt

Is the battery charger for the Allant 7S compatible with both 110v and 220v power supplies?

Hi Paul, Bosch makes several chargers and I’m not super comfortable making a statement here about this because I don’t want it to break. This would be a good question for the Bosch forums and maybe your local shop :)

Love this bike but after 1,700 km I’m having to replace the cassette and chain due to 9th gear slipping. It’s annoying as I paid so much for this bike just 8 months ago and I haven’t ridden in the last three months, so 5 months of good hard use. Maybe that’s the new normal with bikes.

Hey Danny, that is a bummer… I think mid-drive electric bikes put more strain and wear into the chain, derailleur, and cassette cogs. We’re looking at an Alivio derailleur here, which is three steps up from base in the Shimano groupset. I hope it holds up decently for you in the future, but yeah… I’ve noticed that the added torque of the motor and possibly added weight of the battery motor etc. on ebikes causes additional wear. At least the Bosch motor has a bit of shift detection built in to reduce strain! How much is the replacement-tuneup going to cost you? Maybe the shop will have some tips for reduced wear in the future, or maybe it wasn’t perfectly tuned when you got it brand new? I always try to ease off on pedal pressure when shifting on mid-drives. For reference, I’ve had to take my non electric mountain bike in several times for tuneups and I’ve also experienced some phantom shifting there just due to use.

Trish Picherack

Thanks Court for your very informative and objective reviews, I have found them very helpful in learning about ebikes and choosing one to meet my needs. I just bought the Trek Allant 7 low step, picking it up today!

Hi Trish! How exciting, I hope it works well for you and I’d love to hear your thoughts someday after some use. Enjoy the ride!!

Trek’s Removable Integrated Battery (RIB) makes it impractical to remove the battery when transporting the bike. Since the battery and cover are a single unit, when the battery is removed, the battery compartment is exposed to the elements. This is not ideal when transporting the bike on back of a vehicle. One possible solution would be for Trek to offer a cover for the battery compartment.

That’s a really good point, Ron. As much as I like Trek as a company, and as much as I see how the RIB is meant to make batteries easy to remove and carry… they introduce weight, color matching, and transportation issues as you brought up. I hope they consider the cover accessory idea you’ve shared, or refine their design to improve utility with future builds :)

Dušan Ranđelović

Ebicycles score.

The Trek Allant+ is a robust and stylish high-performance ebike that’s packed with state-of-the-art features and all the necessary accessories.

It sets the standard for electric commuter bikes in terms of practicality, speed, and reliability, but it comes at a premium price that may not fit everyone’s budget.

Whether you are a seasoned ebike commuter or a casual city rider, the Trek Allant+ could be the right choice for you thanks to the functionality its Bosch electronics and Shimano components offer.

In this comprehensive review, we will delve into the nuances of the Allant+, examining its design, features, performance, and how it stands up against the competition.

Trek Allant+ Specs:

• MSRP: $3,800 – $6,350
• Class & Speed: 1 (20 mph) or 3 (28 mph)
• Motor:  Bosch Performance CX or Performance Speed
• Battery:  500 Wh or 625 Wh

Trek Allant+ Full Review

The Allant+ is one of Trek’s best-selling series of ebikes, blending modern design and high-tech features. These are high-performance ebikes with top speeds of 20 mph to 28 mph, depending on the class and specs.

All models are equipped with a Bosch motor and battery, Shimano derailleurs and hydraulic disc brakes, lights, as well as all the accessories necessary for daily riding.

The Trek Allant+ is every city commuter’s dream as its Bosch motor provides plenty of torque and the 500-625 Wh batteries offer enough capacity for a few days of riding. In case that’s not enough for you, you can also add a second long-range battery to double the range.

All models also feature Trek’s proprietary Removable Integrated Battery (RIB) system for a sleek look and easy charging. The batteries are seamlessly integrated into the downtube, but easy to remove and replace or charge off the bike.

The Trek Allant+ is a robust and stylish high-performance ebike, setting the standard for electric commuter bikes in terms of practicality, speed, and reliability.

With several frame variations including step-over, stagger, and low-step, the Allant+ ebikes truly fit everyone’s needs.

Though the pricing is much higher compared to direct-to-consumer brands such as Aventon, Ride1UP, or Lectric, the quality of the components is a lot higher as well and there’s also the big-brand appeal that many riders are keen on.

Trek Allant+ Pros and Cons

Rider-friendly aluminum frame.

Trek Allant+ comes with a sleek-looking aluminum frame with integrated battery and cables, available in three variations:

Trek is a rare brand that offers its bikes in three variations, as most other brands only offer step-over and step-through frames. The Stagger variation is somewhere in between.

If you like ebikes with a clean look and a simple color palette, you’ll like Trek Allant+’s design. All cables are integrated and the battery is almost unnoticeable, hidden inside the down tube.

This aluminum frame is paired with a 45 mm suspension fork on the Allant+ 7 and 7S models, a rigid alloy fork on the Allant+ 8 model, and a rigid carbon fork on the Allant+ 9.9 models.

The frame is also equipped with a wide range of accessories which make it fully commuter-ready. You can read more about it in the section below.

High-Performance Bosch Motor and Battery

The heart and soul of Trek Allant+ ebikes is a Bosch mid-drive motor coupled with an integrated but removable Bosch PowerTube battery.

The most affordable Allant+ 7 and 7S builds come with Bosch Performance CX drive units, and all the other models come with faster and more powerful Performance Speed units.

Likewise, the Allant+ 7 and 7S builds have 500 Wh batteries, while all the other models boast larger 625 Wh batteries that offer more range.

• Related: Best E-Bikes with a Bosch Motor

Of course, all builds use modern torque sensors, feature large Bosch displays, and have app connectivity which lets you customize assistance levels and overall ride feel.

High-Quality Shimano Builds

At the moment of writing this Allant+ review, Trek offers this series of ebikes in four builds:

• Trek Allant+ 7
• Trek Allant+ 7S
• Trek Allant+ 8S
• Trek Allant+ 9.9S

As you can see in the section about electronics above, they mainly differ in motor power, battery capacity, and top speeds. However, they also differ in terms of drivetrain components and the brakes they use.

The most basic Trek Allant+ 7 build features 2-piston hydraulic disc brakes, whereas all the other builds with 28 mph top speeds have 4-piston hydraulic discs as they need more braking power.

Its blend of Bosch and Shimano technology offers unrivaled reliability and functionality, making it an excellent choice for both dedicated ebike commuters and casual city riders.

Naturally, if you pay more you’ll also get a better groupset, ranging from Shimano Alivio, over Deore, all the way to XT.

Durable Commute-Ready Accessories

If you want to replace your car with a capable ebike, you’ll appreciate the fact that Trek Allant+ ebikes come pre-equipped with all the accessories you could possibly need for year-round commuting.

This includes front and rear fenders, front and rear lights, a rear rack, and a kickstand. All builds come with the same accessories, regardless of the price.

The only disadvantage with these is that the rear racks on the more expensive models sit lower than the fenders, so you may only use them to attach panniers. You can’t use them to strap a basket or a backpack on top. Though it’s fair to say that most commuters travel with panniers so this may be a problem only for a select few.

Trek Allant+ Downsides

Apart from the potential issue some riders may have with the rear rack that we mentioned above, Trek Allant+ doesn’t really have any downsides.

The main thing that will deter some people from buying it is its price. Namely, you can get a much cheaper model from direct-to-consumer brands that does pretty much the same things that the Allant+ models do.

Despite its premium price tag, the Trek Allant+ delivers a remarkable fusion of comfort, style, and performance.

However, Trek does it a lot better, looks A LOT nicer, and is arguably more durable with better customer support. So it’s up to you to determine your priorities and decide if these perks are worth the upcharge.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a trek allant+ 9.9 weigh.

The Trek Allant+ 9.9 weighs around 49 lb, which is great for a fully equipped city commuter electric bike, especially considering it has a high-capacity battery and numerous accessories. Most similar electric bikes weigh upwards of 50 lb, with some lower-cost models weighing over 60 lb.

Why is Trek so expensive?

Trek’s bikes are more expensive than many direct-to-consumer brands but cost around the same as other big-name brands. The reason Trek is more expensive than brands such as Aventon, Ride1UP or Lectric is that it uses higher-quality Bosch and Shimano components and has a popular name to back up the price.

What is the top speed of Trek Allant+ 7S?

The Trek Allant+ 7S’s top speed is 28 mph, which makes it a class 3 electric bike. All Allant+ models with an “S” behind the model name have a 28 mph top speed, whereas the models without an “S” have a 20 mph top speed, meaning they fall into the class 1 category.

What frame configurations is Allant+ available in?

The Trek Allant+ is available in Step-Over, Stagger, and Low-Step frame configurations. This makes it suitable for a wide array of riders who need different functionalities from their ebikes. All frame configurations cost the same and come with the same combination of accessories.

What is the range of the Trek Allant+ 9?

Trek does not disclose the exact range of the Allant+ 9 model because the mileage depends on a lot of factors, such as the rider and cargo weight, PAS level, terrain, weather, and so on. You can use Bosch’s Ebike Range Calculator to get a rough estimate of what mileage you can expect from a full charge.

Our Verdict: Ride or Pass?

The Trek Allant+ ebike series delivers a premium, high-performance ride experience with top-notch components, significant range, and high speeds.

Despite its steeper price tag, the blend of Bosch and Shimano technology offers unrivaled reliability and functionality, making this series an excellent choice for both dedicated ebike commuters and casual city riders.

Its versatile frame design, impressive accessory list, and the possibility to extend its range further enhance Allant+’s appeal.

Equipped with top-notch components, significant range, and high speeds, this ebike series solidifies Trek’s reputation as a leader in the industry.

While it may not fit everyone’s budget, those willing to invest in the Trek Allant+ will find it a remarkable fusion of comfort, style, and performance.

We can conclude that this series is well worth considering, solidifying Trek’s reputation as a leader in the ebike industry.

Trek Allant+ 8S Review, 2024

This comfortable commuter combines cool tech with a responsive, dialed-in feel.

The most prominent highlight from our time on the bike was the overall feel and performance of its 250W Bosch Performance Line Speed mid-drive motor. As a result of this premium drive system, the Allant+ responds naturally and proportionally to changes in pedaling with smooth assistance, yet never loses an analog bike feel.

With a Bosch drive system comes the ability to be paired with the multifunctional Bosch COBI.BIKE app. This app serves as a hub that integrates with your favorite audio, fitness, and navigation apps, allowing you to track ride data, listen to music or audiobooks, make calls to your closest contacts, and receive turn-by-turn guidance to your destination.

We couldn’t help but appreciate the bike’s overall high-quality feel and confident handling. With 2.4” wide tires and a weight of 57 lbs, the Allant felt firmly planted, but it retained the nimble handling of a lighter-weight city bike.

Additionally, as a Trek product, it felt generally well-rounded with comfortable, precise geometry, top-tier components, and a sturdy frame.

To learn more about the bike’s performance in our series of real-world tests, see our full Trek Allant+ 8s review below!

• Aside from the increased speed, it’s hard to tell you’re riding an e-bike thanks to the impressively smooth yet powerful 250W Bosch Performance Line Speed mid-drive.
• Quick access to navigation, music, contacts and more when using your phone as a display; the Bosch system pairs with the brand’s COBI.BIKE app.
• Feels planted and stable – yet nimble – with 27.5”x2.4” tires, a rigid fork, solid construction, and an overall weight of 57 lbs.
• Capable of extended rides thanks to its 36V, 625 Wh battery. A supplemental range extender battery can also be added for more miles.
• A truly refined and elevated feel that comes as a benefit of being a Trek product.
• Keeps up with traffic more easily as a Class 3 e-bike with pedal assist up to 28 mph.
• Pedals effectively on hills and at high speed thanks to a versatile 11-42T cassette.
• Great modulation and responsiveness from the 4-piston Tektro Orion hydraulic disc brakes.
• Four levels of pedal assist for a streamlined, easy to use system.

• We like the Bluetooth functionality and COBI.BIKE app, but the bike’s integrated universal phone mount felt flimsy. We’d prefer something more durable.
• We appreciate the visibility granted by the pulsating tail light, but we challenge Trek to include brake lights on the next iteration of the bike.
• The Allant’s lights are always on, though servicers of Bosch systems can adjust this setting.

The Allant+ 8s showed an uncommon combination of stability and maneuverability that we thoroughly enjoyed!

The 250W Bosch mid-drive motor feels powerful and provides up to a 340% return of your effort.

While the Allant+ includes a basic display, it encourages the use of your smartphone when paired with the Bosch COBI.BIKE app.

Trek Allant+ 8s Review: Speed Test

To perform our Speed Test, I pedaled the Allant+ 8s on a flat section of our local network of multi-use paths, filmed the process, and recorded the maximum speeds I reached in each of the bike’s four pedal assist settings.

During this test, it was important that I maintained a moderate level of effort due to the mid-drive motor/torque sensor; this combination allows the motor to dispense a greater amount of pedal assistance when using more effort, or put out less power when riding casually. My goal was to find an average level of speed with the assumption that those using more or less effort could expect slightly different results.

When pedaling with no pedal assistance, I comfortably reached a surprising top speed of 13.4 miles per hour. The power level of the Allant’s lowest pedal assist system (PAS) setting, Eco Mode, was subtle, and raised my top speed to 14.7 mph. Tour mode seemed to make a much greater difference; I reached 19.2 mph there. Sport and Turbo Modes provided measured increases in power which allowed me to reach 22.4 and 25.2 mph respectively.

Overall, the power distribution of the Bosch system was remarkably even; each setting provided an expected, intuitive increase in assistance. I was surprised to note that even with maximum assistance in Turbo Mode, the Allant+ 8s still felt much like an analog bike; were it not for the sound of the motor and the ease of which I was able to reach superhuman speeds, I would not have guessed I was on an e-bike.

This is due in large part to Bosch’s tuning and programming, though more broadly, it’s also a side effect of relatively low motor output. 36V motors with 250W of nominal output are on the subtle side, drawing power more slowly and magnifying the effort of the rider to a lesser degree than motors with higher voltage and/or watts. As such, similar motors are used often on higher-end e-bikes that aim to retain a non-electric feel.

This test showed us that the Allant is made for riders who enjoy a traditional cycling experience. Those who prefer riding slower or elevating their heart rate might select Eco or Tour mode, while those looking for more speed and a less strenuous ride may find Sport or Turbo modes to be ideal.

With nearly 75 miles of range and the ability to add a range boost battery, the Allant+ 8s has serious commuter chops!

The 10-speed mixed Shimano/Prowheel drivetrain offered a wide gearing range for various types of terrain and assist levels.

A 625 Wh battery is integrated into the down tube, and an additional 500 Wh unit can be mounted to the frame.

Trek Allant+ 8s Review: Range Test

We performed two Range Tests using the Allant+ 8s to determine a realistic mileage bracket that most riders could expect to fall within. To establish this bracket, we rode the bike in Eco Mode and Turbo Mode until the battery expired, using Strava to document our mileage and the duration of each test.

In Turbo Mode, our tester Brendan traveled 29.8 miles over the course of 1 hour and 37 minutes. We covered over twice the distance in Eco mode; our riders measured 74.8 miles after spending 6 hours and 4 minutes on the bike.

This is an impressive distance, though when compared to similar commuter e-bikes we tested previously by numbers alone, the Allant+ appears to be relatively average. One component of this surface-level comparison is the fact that we have tested a handful of similar e-bikes with remarkable efficiency; this has inevitably skewed the results.

In truth, the Allant+ 8s was not as efficient as we expected it to be based on its motor and battery specs, though once again, its results in this test were far from poor. With a 250W nominal/600W peak motor and a 625 Wh battery, we anticipated that our Turbo mode test would yield roughly 55 miles over a 2.5 hour time period.

Our actual results produced 35% less time and 46% fewer miles than expected, which suggests that the bike’s motor was drawing more power from the battery than anticipated. This makes sense when considering that the Allant+ had a higher-than-average average speed during this test; most of the other Class 3 commuters with mid-drive motors had an average speed below 20 mph, while the Allant maintained an average of 22.3 miles per hour.

Regardless of its position in comparison to similar commuter e-bikes we’ve tested, we consider the Allant+ 8s to be successful in providing a highly practical range, especially when in its low power setting.

However, for those who need the ability to cover more miles with a higher assistance level or those planning an extended trek (apologies for the pun), the brand offers a supplemental 500 Wh Range Boost battery. When adding this external battery to the mounts on the down tube, we believe riders could expect roughly an 80% increase in overall range.

Trek Allant+ 8s Review: Hill Test

Compared to other commuter-style e-bikes we have reviewed, the Allant+ 8s gave a relatively average performance, but our focus in this test is not to reward the bike with the fastest time, but instead to recognize general ability.

The Allant+ proved to be competent at assisting our ascent, requiring only a comfortable but steady level of effort in Turbo Mode to reach the top of the hill. In this setting, the Bosch Performance Line Speed motor is advertised as providing up to 340% power in proportion to the rider’s effort. While we have no way of testing this for precision, the 250W mid-drive has a maximum output of 600W and 85 Nm of torque, which is a significant amount of force to aid in uphill travel.

To be clear, the Allant+ 8s does require active pedaling, but our experience at Hell Hole Trail was enjoyable and far from strenuous. I have personally pedaled up (or rather, attempted to pedal up) the path on an analog bike, which was an experience I have no desire to repeat. For an e-bike like the Allant to turn that exhausting endeavor into a fun and spirited experience is truly a delight.

I should also point out that the bike includes an impressive gearing range to make climbing easier when using a lesser amount of pedal assistance. With a 46T chainring and a 10-42T cassette, riders can pedal efficiently even on steep roads or paths.

Bottom line, while there are some similar e-bikes that can conquer steep hills faster, there are also plenty that a cyclist riding the Allant+ 8s would leave behind. The bike is extremely capable of “flattening” hills and turning exhaustion into exhilaration.

With the ability to get a precise fit through three frame sizes, we found the Allant+ 8s to be extremely comfortable.

The Tektro Orion hydraulic disc brakes felt powerful and responsive.

The Bontrager 2.4”-wide tires helped to absorb vibrations from the road.

Trek Allant+ 8s Review: Brake Test

The bike is equipped with a high-performance Tektro Orion 4-piston hydraulic brake system with 180mm front and rear rotors. We expected the Allant to perform well in this test with this brake system, as it is uncommon in our experience for such powerful brakes to be included on an e-bike of this type.

We were not disappointed! For comparison, the average stopping distance for all of the commuter e-bikes we’ve tested is 21’-10”, so the Allant+ performed noticeably better than average.

At 57 lbs, the Allant+ 8s is relatively middle-of-the-road in terms of weight, but well within the range that makes two-piston brakes effective. Such a robust four-piston ensures excellent stopping ability even when traveling at Class 3 speeds up to 28 miles per hour.

The brakes felt every bit as effective as their numbers suggest; even when flying downhill at speeds exceeding 30 miles per hour, the Allant felt stable and its speed completely under control. Its stability remained when slowing down; I experienced slight fishtailing when braking hard, but nothing out of the ordinary.

With that in mind, we wish that the blinking tail light functioned as a brake light (indicator lights would be great, too, but we’ll start small). It is fantastic to have such reliable stopping power when traveling at high velocity, but the ability to communicate with other drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians is equally important.

Prospective buyers should feel confident in the bike’s brakes, however; the Tektro Orion system provides fast, powerful stopping power and the ability to easily modulate speed.

The 660mm handlebars on our test bike provided quick steering.

The slim saddle felt supportive yet soft and comfortable.

A small pulsating tail light is integrated into the rear fender.

The small 500 lumen headlight is impressively bright!

Trek Allant+ 8s Review: Ride Quality

In terms of comfort, the bike excels; its riding position, while having a slight forward-lean, is mostly relaxed and upright. It features a well-shaped Bontrager Commuter Comp saddle with a great balance of softness and supportiveness. The bike includes ergonomic rubber grips with plenty of support, and large rubberized pedals with plenty of grab – but no pegs to inflict shin wounds in the event of a slip.

The Allant+ is offered in three frame sizes and two frame styles; the high-step we tested fits riders between 5’-5” and 6’-6”, while the step-thru or “Stagger” model is made for shorter riders between 5’-1” and 6’-1”. At 5’-11”, I fit squarely in the middle of the accommodation range for the Large frame, and it felt perfect for me in terms of saddle height, reach, etc.

As I mentioned previously, the bike felt firmly planted, but still handled incredibly responsively. Its 660mm handlebars provided quick steering, and ultimately felt wider and roomier than they were. The 27.5”x2.4” Bontrager E6 Hard-Case Lite tires helped the bike feel stable and offered cushioning to help counteract the absence of a suspension – which itself plays a role in the bike’s confident handling but makes bumps more pronounced.

A huge element that contributed to the overall ride feel of the Allant+ is its Bosch Performance Line Speed mid-drive motor. In addition to providing a remarkably smooth and consistent feel to its pedal assistance, the system includes highly functional technology to make rides easier and more enjoyable.

Our test bike was outfitted with the manufacturer’s SmartphoneHub that includes a basic black-and-white LCD, but features a spring loaded clamp mount that allows riders to use their smartphone as a display. When paired with the bike through Bosch’s COBI.BIKE app, users have seamless access to up to 10 pre-selected contacts for making calls with Bluetooth headphones/earbuds, streaming songs through Apple Music or Spotify, turn-by-turn navigation with Apple Maps, ride tracking through Strava or Komoot, and health/fitness data through Apple Health or Google Fit.

We found the app to be highly functional in most cases, though as with any technology, there was a slight learning curve to the app and the bike’s multi-functional control panel. Once it was set up, my phone became a true unified dashboard that felt more in line with what I expect in an automobile. I appreciated that the app could be manipulated through my phone or (more reliably) the bike’s button panel, and I also liked that simply removing and/or rotating my phone would return control to the bike’s integrated LCD and stop ride tracking.

The phone mount itself is something I hope Bosch improves in the future; the spring loaded top portion of the clamp felt rather flimsy, and in fact broke at some point during our testing. When diagnosing the issue, we observed that the mechanism seemed to be held together with two tiny screws that did not seem to be stout enough for a moving component. Sturdier construction would be appreciated, but in the meantime, a separate phone mount may be good to keep on hand – the handlebars have enough real estate to make that option practical.

One other thing prospective owners should be aware of is that the bike’s light system is always active when the bike is turned on. Our contact at Trek advised us that this is a setting within the Bosch system that was selected for safety reasons, but it can be changed to provide more direct control to the user. As long as your local bike shop services Bosch systems, their technicians should have the ability to alter the light settings.

Aside from these relatively minor concerns, the overall feel of the Allant+ 8s was of a solidly built, high-quality, responsive, and dialed-in e-bike. We hope to see a few small improvements, but there is simply a huge “WOW!” factor to the bike as-is.

Controls for PAS adjustment, app control, and high/low light settings are on the left handlebar.

The ergonomic grips, while somewhat short, felt squishy and comfortable.

We liked the grip of the rubberized Bontrager City pedals.

The lightweight cargo rack has a 31-lb carrying capacity.

Trek Allant+ 8s Review: Summary / Where to Buy

In our testing, the Allant+ appeared relatively average – but it is important to consider that average is a pretty high bar. The bike has remarkably smooth pedal assistance with intuitive programming, the ability to reach blazing speeds, plenty of power to make climbing steep hills enjoyable, and brakes that can stop on a dime.

We hope to see some minor improvements on the next version of the bike, including a sturdier phone mount/display unit, a brake light, and a way of turning the lights off – but even with these things in mind, the Allant+ 8s is a highly capable commuter that we thoroughly enjoyed testing.

With a huge degree of comfort, the ability to keep up with traffic, the reserves to cover a significant distance before needing to be recharged, and the backing of a global brand, we gladly give our seal of approval to the Allant+ 8s.

Happy Riding! Make sure to let us know if you have any questions or if you think we left anything out in this review of the Trek Allant+ 8s down in our comments section.

This comfortable commuter combines cool tech with a responsive, dialed-in feel. As a legacy brand with nearly 50 years of experience, Trek is a well-established company trusted by riders worldwide. Based on the experience we had when we reviewed the FX+ 2 city e-bike, we had high expectations from the brand’s Allant+ 8s commuter. We

Aside from the increased speed, it’s hard to tell you’re riding an e-bike thanks to the impressively smooth yet powerful 250W Bosch Performance Line Speed mid-drive.

Quick access to navigation, music, contacts and more when using your phone as a display; the Bosch system pairs with the brand’s COBI.BIKE app.

Feels planted and stable – yet nimble – with 27.5”x2.4” tires, a rigid fork, solid construction, and an overall weight of 57 lbs.

Capable of extended rides thanks to its 36V, 625 Wh battery. A supplemental range extender battery can also be added for more miles.

A truly refined and elevated feel that comes as a benefit of being a Trek product.

Keeps up with traffic more easily as a Class 3 e-bike with pedal assist up to 28 mph.

Pedals effectively on hills and at high speed thanks to a versatile 11-42T cassette.

Great modulation and responsiveness from the 4-piston Tektro Orion hydraulic disc brakes.

Four levels of pedal assist for a streamlined, easy to use system.

We like the Bluetooth functionality and COBI.BIKE app, but the bike’s integrated universal phone mount felt flimsy. We’d prefer something more durable.

We appreciate the visibility granted by the pulsating tail light, but we challenge Trek to include brake lights on the next iteration of the bike.

The Allant’s lights are always on, though servicers of Bosch systems can adjust this setting.
