Product Information
Full details
The Trek Fuel EXe 9.5 is designed for mountain bikers who want the extra power of pedal-assist without sacrificing the agile, natural handling of a traditional trail bike. Featuring a lightweight OCLV Mountain Carbon frame and a near-silent TQ harmonic pin ring motor, it provides a seamless boost on long ascents while maintaining a playful feel on technical descents. Please note that while the 360 Wh battery is ideal for mid-length rides, riders planning all-day epics may need to manage their power settings or consider range-extending accessories.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can I remove the battery for charging?
No, the 360 Wh battery is fully encased in the frame, so it must be charged through the external smart charging port.
Is the bike water-resistant?
Yes, the motor and electrical systems are sealed to IP standards for mountain biking, but avoid submerging the bike or using a power washer.
Can I upgrade the drivetrain later?
Yes, the frame is compatible with standard 12-speed components, allowing for future upgrades to lighter or more precise groupsets.
What is the primary advantage of the TQ motor?
The primary advantage is its size, weight, and near-silent operation, which preserves the 'mountain bike' feel better than larger motors.
Does it work without the motor on?
Yes, the TQ system has zero drag, meaning you can ride it just like a normal mountain bike if you run out of battery.
Troubleshooting
Motor power cutting out during rides
Ensure the battery is fully charged and check that the remote and display connections are secure.
Unexpected shifting noise
Adjust the Shimano Deore derailleur barrel adjuster or check the hanger for alignment issues.
Suspension feels harsh or bottoming out
Check your air pressure settings against the guide printed on the fork and shock, and adjust the rebound damping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first ride, ensure the TQ system firmware is updated via the compatible app. The bike comes tubeless-ready; it is highly recommended to set up the tires with sealant before hitting rocky terrain to minimize puncture risk. Charging should be performed using the dedicated smart charging port. Periodically inspect the pivot bolts and ensure the suspension sag is set to your body weight (typically 25-30% for the rear shock). Clean the bike with low-pressure water and mild soap; avoid high-pressure washers, as they can force moisture into the motor and electrical connections.
