Your Next Bike Might Have A Battery. Will have a battery.
E-bikes are here to stay - embrace the battery with Trek and explore new places, on the trail and in your mind.
Yes, even you, the ‘serious cyclist’, have battery power in your future: electric bikes amplify your pedalling power and your ability to do and see more. They’re quick and smooth, with predictable, easy-to-control power and a long-lasting removable battery that recharges from any household plug socket. They will take you places your normal cycling won’t. And that’s a jolly good thing.
As with any aspect of cycling, e-bikes come in all shapes and sizes – from pure commuter and cargo bikes that are dominating European and American cities, to ride-all-day big-hit enduro machines and the gamut of XC/road/gravel and play machines in between. The five-bike South African Trek range covers the off-road department beautifully (and they can all be used on the road, obviously, if you need to feel the swoosh of traffic) with a light hardtail and four full-suspension models catering for all needs and desires.
Let’s get started
The Powerfly 4 is Trek’s most affordable electric mountain bike. It’s built with parts that hold up, like a smooth-shifting Shimano drive train, and a powerful Bosch motor. Plus, it features our user-friendly Removable Integrated Battery (RIB) system that’s fully encased in the frame yet doesn’t require tools for removal. This bike expands your boundaries and lets you travel to destinations that you never thought you’d reach on a mountain bike.

Battery power for speedsters
The E-Caliber 9.6 is a carbon electric mountain bike that rides – and looks – like a traditional cross-country bike. The compact Fazua drive system lets you do more of what you love with subtle, natural-feeling assist that doesn’t overpower the physical and technical challenges of the trail.
Any mountain, any trail, any time. Many times
Electric mountain bikes are everything you already love about trail riding, but more of it. More speed. More power. More distance. More terrain. But Rail’s even more than that – it’s an electric mountain bike that gives you a more engaging relationship with the trail. And best of all… once you’ve railed your favourite trail, climb back up and do it again. And again. And again.

Anyone can attach a motor to a trail bike, but a great e-MTB amplifies the experience you already love. With Rail, each e-MTB mode delivers power naturally and predictably across the full range of assist, so you’ll never be left hanging or lurching. The e-MTB mode gives you a little bit more punch; e-MTB Lite takes a step back and lets you do the punching. Ride further with Rail’s long-range trail system, which offers up to 80km or 5 hours of continuous assist. The trail-tuned boost lets you pack a week’s worth of riding into a single day. Rip through rugged terrain, pin your descent, then turn straight back up the mountain for another lap.
Rail 9.7
Rail 9.7 is a long-travel carbon electric mountain bike that gets you to the fun stuff faster. It feels and rides just like our rowdiest trail bikes, and it’s built with the same trail-specific tech. The difference is that the powerful Bosch drive system zips up climbs so you can spend less time grinding and more time getting rad.
Rail 7
Rail 7 is a long-travel electric mountain bike built for ripping the big stuff. It features the same high-end trail tech as our analogue trail bikes, an upgraded fork, drivetrain, battery and more, plus a powerful Bosch drive system that’s basically like having your own shuttle.
Rail 5
