Trek FX+ 2

Purely as a bicycle, without considering electric assist, this model outperforms many of the other models CR tested. It's relatively light, rides and handles well, and offers good stability and comfort. It's also easy to ride on both flat ground and up steep hills without electric power—should you find yourself with a tapped-out battery in the middle of a ride. But it's not big on electric power, meaning the rider will be doing more of the literal legwork. For someone who wants a "bridge" model that can serve as an entree into fitness cycling with a helpful boost of electric power, this could be a good option.
