Is it for you?
Best suited to
Value-focused commuters who want a reliable rear-hub trekking bike with hydraulic brakes and a dual-battery option for range.
Standout strength
A 60Nm rear hub, a 500Wh battery and hydraulic brakes with a dual-battery upgrade path, at the budget end of Earth's range.
The main compromise
A rear-hub drive lacks the low-speed climbing punch of a mid-drive.
Consider something else if
You want mid-drive climbing feel, where Earth's PRIME S line steps up to an 80Nm mid motor.
Check before you buy
Consider the dual-battery upgrade if you ride long distances, and confirm frame size.

What is the range of the Earth REX Trekking?

The Earth REX Trekking uses a EARTH 60Nm rear hub motor, in a rear hub position, producing 60Nm of torque.
How much does the Earth REX Trekking weigh?
