Trek Dual Sport+ 2 Step-Over

Like almost any other bike built by Trek, the Dual Sport+ 2 Step-Over exudes quality, from its smooth, stable ride and comfortable seating position to its excellent fit and finish. This model doesn’t have the best battery range, and the electric motor doesn’t accelerate the bike all that quickly, but if all you want is an excellent, well-balanced bike that lends some battery-powered help to your poor, pedal-weary legs, this could be a good option. That’s because it works great without electric power—even when pedaling up steep hills—thanks in no small part to its trigger-shifted nine-speed gear cassette. A rider keen on saving the battery for when assistance from the electric motor is needed could likely stretch battery life by leaning more on leg power. The brakes stop the bike on a dime, and a simple LED display makes it easy to see battery life and power level. And it’s even reasonably priced…for a Trek.
