Where to buy
Priced at £3,575, the Trek Charter+ 4 Trail 800 Wh Lowstep sits broadly in line with similar all-terrain e-bikes from 2026, offering a strong balance of capacity and performance. Its favourable position in broader comparisons suggests it holds good appeal within its category.
Compared with similar all terrain e-bikes on Bikkerr, this model sits £221.72 below average
Priced at £3,575, the Trek Charter+ 4 Trail 800 Wh Lowstep sits broadly in line with similar all-terrain e-bikes from 2026, though it’s slightly more expensive than some alternatives. It offers a strong case for value with its 75-mile range, 800Wh battery and 75Nm torque, which compare well with many rivals in this category, especially when paired with its 200kg payload capacity. However, its 6-hour charge time and 27.8kg weight may be slower or heavier than some similar e-bikes, which could affect convenience for daily use or storage. For an all-terrain e-bike, these trade-offs are relevant, as the weight and charging time might influence how practical it is for frequent or varied use. Riders prioritising range, torque and carrying capacity are likely to see the value in this bike, even if they need to accept a slightly longer charge time and heavier frame. The balance here leans towards those who need the performance and payload over the convenience of lighter weight and faster charging.

Bosch Performance Line (Smart System)
This all-terrain e-bike offers a strong and responsive motor setup that should feel capable on mixed surfaces and hills, with assistance that scales naturally with rider effort thanks to the torque sensor. Next to similar models, its motor power and torque should provide a noticeable edge in climbing and low-speed control, though the bike's higher weight may make starts and climbs feel more reliant on the motor's support. The assistance should feel smooth and proportional, with the torque sensor helping maintain a natural ride feel, though the motor's punchy delivery might feel a bit abrupt to some riders. The balance of power and weight should make it feel lively for its category, and the motor's strength should suit riders looking for reliable support on varied terrain and longer rides.
This explanation is based on the bike’s motor power, torque, battery capacity, claimed range, charging
time, sensor type and how those figures compare with similar e-bikes in our database.
eBike FAQs
Is this bike suitable for long rides on mixed terrain?
This bike is well-suited for long rides on mixed terrain, thanks to its 800Wh battery, which provides a good range for extended trips, and its hydraulic disc brakes, which offer confident stopping power on various surfaces. The powerful motor and torque sensor also help with hill climbing and maintaining speed on uneven ground. However, the bike’s weight may make it slightly harder to lift and carry, and the charging time is slower than average, which could be a consideration for frequent riders.
How does the motor perform when climbing steep hills?
The motor should handle steep hills with good support, thanks to its 600W power and 75Nm of torque, which is above average for this type of e-bike. While it won’t feel like a mountain bike’s motor, it should provide smooth assistance for most inclines you’ll encounter on trails or in the city. However, the bike’s weight may make it feel slightly less responsive when accelerating uphill, so you may need to manage your speed and effort accordingly.
Does the battery capacity provide enough range for daily commuting or weekend trips?
The 800Wh battery should provide a range of around 75 miles, which is more than enough for daily commuting or weekend trips on mixed terrain. The removable battery design makes it easy to charge at home or on the go, adding to its convenience. However, the average battery efficiency means you may need to plan charging stops for longer rides, especially if you're carrying heavier loads or riding in hilly areas.
How practical is this bike for everyday use, especially with its weight and storage options?
The Trek Charter+ 4 Trail 800 Wh Lowstep is reasonably practical for everyday use, though its weight of 27.8 kg may make it a bit challenging to lift or store, especially in small spaces. The removable battery is a plus, as it allows for easy charging without needing to carry the whole bike. While the bike is well-equipped for daily use with features like built-in lights, its lack of a folding design limits storage options, so you’ll need to consider where and how you keep it.
Is the braking system reliable and safe for both city and trail riding?
The Trek Charter+ 4 Trail 800 Wh Lowstep features hydraulic disc brakes, which provide confident and controlled stopping power on both city streets and trail surfaces. These brakes are well-suited for varied conditions, including wet or loose terrain, and should handle the bike’s weight and speed effectively. While the braking system is reliable, the bike’s overall weight may slightly affect how quickly it comes to a stop compared to lighter models.
How does the charging time affect the overall convenience of owning this bike?
The charging time for this bike is notably slow compared to similar models, which could be a consideration for owners who need to recharge frequently or quickly. While the 800Wh battery provides a long range, the time it takes to charge may affect how convenient the bike is for daily use, especially if you're reliant on it for multiple trips in a day. However, the removable battery design allows for charging the battery separately, which can be a practical workaround for some users.
Is this bike a good value for the price compared to similar all-terrain e-bikes?
The Trek Charter+ 4 Trail 800 Wh Lowstep offers strong value for its price, especially with its high battery capacity and removable design, which makes charging and storage more flexible. The powerful motor and hydraulic disc brakes also add confidence for varied terrain, though the slow charging time and heavier weight may be considerations for some buyers. Overall, it's a well-equipped option that balances performance and practicality for all-terrain use.
What are the main trade-offs or compromises of this bike compared to other models in its category?
Compared to other all-terrain e-bikes, the Trek Charter+ 4 Trail 800 Wh Lowstep offers a large battery capacity and strong motor power for confident hill climbing and long rides, but it comes with a slower charging time, which may be inconvenient for frequent users. The bike is also heavier than average, making it slightly more challenging to lift and store, especially if you need to carry it indoors or onto public transport. While the hydraulic disc brakes provide reliable stopping power on mixed surfaces, the overall efficiency of the battery is average, meaning you might not get the maximum range out of the 800Wh capacity in all conditions.

Assembled in Germany Explore the factory in Saxony, Germany, where every European Trek, Electra, and Diamant bike is built. A better way to produce aluminium Starting in 2024, we began removing high-emission aluminium from our manufacturing and replacing it with low-emission aluminium made with renewable energy. By October 2025, nearly every alloy bike we make - this one included - had made the switch, driving a major drop in our footprint. Shimano CUES Inspired by rider demand for trouble-free drivetrain longevity and performance, Shimano CUES offers a new foundation for versatility and durability across a range of both electric and standard bikes. CUES features Shimano's new LINKGLIDE drivetrain technology for significantly increased life on wear items like chain, cassette and chainrings. Shimano LINKGLIDE LINKGLIDE technology has been specifically engineered for incredible durability while still delivering smooth and decisive shifting - along with a great pedalling experience. Available exclusively on Shimano CUES drivetrains. Upgrade your pedals and love your bike more Pedals are two of the five touchpoints that connect you with your bike, and even though this bike comes with a pair, upgrading to pedals that boost control and grip will greatly improve your ride. See the pedal guide and find the best pedals for your riding style. We recommend flat pedals for simple versatility.
