\"Triumph<\/a><\/p>\n

As one of the most respected names in the industry, British motorcycle developers Triumph have worked hard to build a strong reputation. They are known for their development of high-end gasoline-powered motorcycles, but their move into the electric market with the Trekker GT E-Bike has been very interesting indeed. This known e-bike is known as the Triumph Trekker, and this really changes things: for one, it\u2019s a bicycle as opposed to a motorbike!<\/p>\n

However, they\u2019ve decided to go ahead and build something a bit different from what they usually would develop. They\u2019ve come up with what we would call a very useful road-aimed commuter e-bike. By using a strong and secure hydroformed 6061 aluminium frame, you are riding around on a very sturdy piece of kit. Add in the integrated and lockable battery included, and you can avoid having an e-bike that is obvious to the world what it is.<\/p>\n

In fact, thanks to the sleek nature of its frame and shape you could easily mistake the Trekker GT for a normal bike. Unveiled as the next step in the Triumph journey, they\u2019ve powered it up with an impressive Shimano E6100 mid-drive motor, capable of producing a whopping 250-500W.<\/p>\n

The battery, a Shimano E8035, has a capability of 504 Wh of power. That\u2019s pretty impressive, and it should be capable of riding as far as 93 miles in a single charge which is more than enough for a few days of back-and-forth journeys for most people. It\u2019s a very impressive solution, but power will naturally be dwindled if you look to save on leg power by boosting the power to a higher level.<\/p>\n

\"Triumph<\/a><\/p>\n

With Schwalbe Energizer Green Guard 27.5 x 2.0 tires, this is a very comfortable bike to ride around and not feel any reverb or shock. The addition of a Shimano Deore M600 hydraulic brake disc set ensures that you can keep on moving whilst coming to a quick standstill. The inclusion of LED lighting also helps to keep you plenty visible, meaning that night-time journeys don\u2019t need to carry needless risk.<\/p>\n

Add in the impressively comfortable Selle Royal Vivo saddle and riding around on the Trekker GT should be as comfortable as it should be. Triumph has naturally put in a lot of work to make this a very comfortable starting point for most riders, and it\u2019s easy to see the benefits of that work.<\/p>\n

Craftsmanship counts for a lot, but it naturally factors into the cost of the bike. Riders are expected to pay around $3,700 for the latest Triumph model, while it\u2019ll be just shy of \u00a33,000 in the UK. It\u2019s become a very impressive model quickly, though, and it\u2019s already available on-sale in the UK, Europe, and across the Americas.<\/p>\n

The Triumph Trekker GT<\/a> e-bike is one of the most interesting electric bikes to hit the market in recent times, so we should expect it to garner a lot of interest in the coming weeks and months. For now, though, it\u2019s a very interesting starting place for those who might want to get an e-bike from a developer that they know and trust.<\/p>\n
