Q: What should I look for in an electric road bike?
A: First, you always want to make sure your e-road bike is UL compliant so it can be safely charged and stored. All Trek and Electra e-bikes are compliant to the UL2849 standard. Next, you'll want to look for a quality e-system from a reputable manufacturer like Bosch, Hyena, or TQ. Those companies provide long-term service and support for their products so your investment can last. Finally, you want to have quality components like a drivetrain, brakes, and wheels designed to withstand the force and weight of an e-road bike.
