The Trek FX+ 1S is a weird bike.
Not because of funny looks or strange behaviors; as lightweight city e-bikes go, the FX+ 1 looks and feels the part. Instead, the bike is unusual due to a single feature that may not immediately stand out when comparing it to similarly equipped models from other
brands.
Unlike previous e-bikes from Trek, which were limited to pedal-assist only, the FX+1S (like its somewhat slower sibling, the FX+ 1) comes equipped with a throttle.
Here at Electric Bike Report, we’ve long espoused the virtues of throttles. Whether of the half-twist or thumb variety, they allow riders an easy way to get moving. They also offer the opportunity to take a
break from pedaling—or simply relax and enjoy the ride while the motor does all the hard work.
