Online bike-buying made easy

Finding your perfect ride online is easy, and buying it can be just as simple! Here, you'll find all the tools you need to find your trusty steed, decide on your ideal delivery option and more.

We recommend looking at your local shop’s inventory first. The bike you want may be closer than you think, and if your retailer has it in stock, you could get it even faster. Can’t find the bike you want in-store? Don’t worry – you can still support your locally owned Trek or Electra retailer. They’ll build, test and install any accessories you need before you start pedalling. Plus, they’ll be your point of contact for all service and warranty needs.

Want help from a real human? Our Customer Care team is available via phone from Monday to Friday on 01908360140.

Expert advice from Trek

Online resources are great, but there’s nothing like a real person. You can connect with your local Trek retailer directly or call us at Trek Headquarters Monday through Friday at 01908 360140. We’re here for you.

Every rider deserves a bike that fits and feels great, no matter their body type, style of riding or level of experience. That's why we make great bikes for everybody and every body.

The best fit for you depends primarily on your height and inside leg. That's true whatever your gender, as gender matters far less in finding the bike that's best for you than other factors.

The Trek Size Finder

Each bike model page has a sizing chart with frame size recommendations. But, if you need a little help determining the bike size that’s best for you, use our Size Finder. All you need is a measuring device for your height and inside leg.

If you fall between sizes, we recommend contacting your retailer or giving us a call on 01908 360140 (M–F) for a quick consultation.

When a kid is on a bike that fits well, they’ll be more confident, happier and have better control. Check out the kids’ bike guide to find the best size for your little ripper.
