Trek Powerfly 4 Gen 4 Review: Takeaway

The Trek Powerfly 4 is the cheapest electric mountain bike made by Trek. This doesn’t take away from its great components and rideability, though. It’s an eMTB designed for lighter trail riding with its larger wheels that smooth out the bumps on the rough spots. Relatively light yet powerful, the Trek Powerfly 4 Gen 4 is an ideal electric mountain bike that doesn’t break the bank.

Ideal for...

E-bike overview.

The Bosch Performance CX motor gives a real kick with up to 85Nm of torque, meaning that you can pull away on a steep and muddy hill with confidence. Power delivery is smooth so you won’t spin the rear wheel should you push too hard. The Bosch smart system offers enhanced ride control with navigation and activity tracking via the eBike Flow app.

Packaged with the Bosch Performance CX motor, is their Walk Assist mode that helps push your e-bike up those tough hills you’re bound to encouter. The LED remote let’s you enable Walk Assist and control the level of pedal assist you need. The LED lights are bright and easy to see, even in bright sunlight.

One thing that Trek does with this electric bike is fit different equipment to different-sized machines. For example, on the XS and S framed machines, it has a 27.5” wheel size, while on the M, L, and XL sizes have a 29″ wheel. The frame on the smaller e-bikes are also slightly different, offering a curved top tub for sizes XS and S, while frame sizes M, L, and XL have a straight top tube.

Trek has thought about everything, not surprisingly. Rack and kickstand mounts are readily avilable, as well as an integrated speed sensor for those riders looking to use the PowerFly 4 as more of a trekker than a day-rider trail e-bike.

Reasons to Buy

If you want an electric bike but don’t want to empty your bank account, the Trek Powerfly 4 Gen 4 is a very good machine to consider. At the lower end of the premium spectrum, the Trek Powerfly 4 will be worth every penny when it comes to an electric mountian bike that will look after you on the road or trail.

Designed not to embarrass you on the trail, it works well on longer cross-country rides. Its battery will be good for a 35-mile ride on tougher terrain, and the power of the Bosch Performance CX motor will leave you breaking a sweat only if you’re going easy on the battery.

When it comes to speed control, the electric bike won’t let you down even on steep tracks in wet conditions with its Tektro hydraulic brakes, and on 203mm rotors, they won’t fade even if used a lot.

Things to Consider

If you want a genuinely inexpensive electric mountain bike, there are others like the Rad Power brand of electric bikes, but few pack as many high performance components as the Trek Powerfly 4 Gen 4. This isn’t the cheapest eMTB out there, but it is very inexpensive for a high-end machine.

Specs & Components

The specs above come from the manufacturer and may vary from what you’ve experienced. Notice something that needs correcting? Let us know .

Offering up to 85 Nm of torque, the light but punchy Bosch Performance CX motor delivers the power you need for riding off-road, including rapid direction changes and tackling steep climbs as you journey around the woods or mountain.

Its Bontrager XR3 Comp tires won’t go quickly on hard, flat surfaces due to higher rolling resistance, but this isn’t what the Powerfly 4 is about — it’s about fun in the mud and on loose surfaces. As such, the motor won’t achieve great flat-out speeds, but it’ll more than make up for it in raw power over the rough stuff.

The 500 Wh battery on the Powerfly 4 will give you a good day out on singletrack and a reasonably long day in the saddle on an off-road adventure. However, there’s no option for a range extender, so if you’re looking for more than 35 miles per charge, choose an eMTB with a range extender or a 625+ Wh battery.

Leaving your gear at a base while doing singletrack will give you more range, but if you’re carrying your pack on an adventure, this will eat into your mileage. Muddy terrain and foul weather can impact range, too.

Sat in a trekking position, you’ll use your upper body to shift your weight according to riding conditions. This could mean you get tired in your arms, chest, and shoulders after a long ride.

Sizes XS and S in the Trek Powerfly 4 range come with 27.5” wheels, while sizes M, L, and XL come with 29” wheels. Either way, they’ll smooth out the rough terrain.

The XS version of this eMTB hardtail electric bike comes with an 80mm travel SR Suntour fork, while all larger sizes have a 120mm travel fork. Both are well-suited to rough terrain.

Though Trek offers a lifetime warranty on the frame, if you haven’t looked after this e-bike, the warranty may be voided.

Clean the bike and oil its working parts after every ride. Keep an eye on chain stretch — change it when it gets to 1 mm per link, and look out for bent/broken teeth on the cassette and front chain wheel. Also, keep an eye on brake pads and hydraulic fluid. Though the Powerfly 4 is waterproof to an extent, take care when it comes to river crossings, as it isn’t designed for complete immersion!

Being a serious electric mountain bike, the Trek Powerfly 4 also looks the part. The clean lines and nice shapes of the frame along with its overall geometry combine to make for a good-looking eMTB.

The choice of colors is good too, from the loud red and black scheme to the muted gray and black. Overall, this bike looks like it means business when thrown about the tracks and trails.

If I had to think of one common theme that continually came up during our time with the Powerfly, that would be it—too damn fun. Over the months we’ve had this bike, we’ve done it all and it does it all with ease.

Oct 2018 · Alan Muldoon

Up hill or down, ebikes take an absolute beating, so the new Trek Powerfly 9 has a beefed up the parts package to handle the additional abuse.

Suspension, brakes and tyres are all on point. New battery layout is neat and easy to use.

Could have more generous reach measurements and shorter stems on all sizes.

New in this Powerfly generation are an advanced removable battery system, carbon fiber frames, purpose-built ebike components and the 150mm of travel in the LT model. - Mtbr.com

Price: $5499.00 | Model Year: 2019 A stealthy, long travel, all-mountain electric bike with longer wheel base and adjustable seat stay hardware to optimize geometry for climbing and descending, proprietary

A stealthy, long travel, all-mountain electric bike with longer wheel base and adjustable seat stay hardware to optimize geometry for climbing and descending, proprietary "Active Braking Pivot" rear suspension reduces skipping, Knock Block headset and Hartzell Hug impact-absorbing downtube bumpers allow for straight downtube

Trek-invented Boost hub spacing improves spoke bracing angle and support for larger plus sized tires, quick release thru axles are sturdy and easy to work with, direct-link rear suspension stiffens the chain stays and bottom bracket without compromising performance thanks to the DeonAir rear shock

Beautiful battery integration, Bosch PowerTube 500 disappears into the frame, keeps weight low and center, provides space for a bottle cage mount and accessories above, sturdy locking core from ABUS with keyed-alike code, battery has a built-in handle for secure removal and transport

Bosch Purion display does not have an active Micro-USB port, the PowerTube 500 is heavier than the older PowerPack design, longer wheel base isn't as nimble and the motor integration is flat vs. angled up (unless you get the carbon model), the motor is heavier than the competition, produces more noise, introduces some drag when unpowered

We're talking about a beautifully integrated battery for a great looking bike, the new Bosch E-MTB feature that rides so smooth, a longer travel model for going hard and a carbon frame option for the ultimate experience. Bring it on!

Aesthetically clean.

Bosch e-MTB mode for a natural feel.

Considered spec.

Long chainstays.

Jun 2018 · Tom Marvin

The long back end is a constant across the size ranges, and so while the front end of the large isn’t super long, it’s still a relatively balanced-feeling bike.

Charger for Dehawk 48v 16ah battery

What charger do you recommend for a Dehawk 48v 16ah battery? Where can I buy one? I’m in the US. This is the battery used in the Moscow plus bike. My existing charger seems to have died. Thanks John

Nice links, thanks! What plug should we choose for the ncm moscow plus battery? DC, right?  

Ok! I will be ordering the one with 4A, DC plug (I have checked it). Any risk of damaging the battery or anything else? any warning? I don't know much about chargers... Thanks! p.d: I did not see your message suggesting 5A after the image capture. I will think about it. Yes, NCM gave me 2A charger...  

There are two models of battery for the ncm moscow plus, one with 14A and one with 16A. Mine came with 14A... will 5A be fine anyway, or should I use 4A? Thanks again!

Any risk of damaging the battery or anything else? any warning? Warning is usually SMOKE!  

Mmm, true, they are Reention, but I thought they were just the same... Mine says Reention indeed.  

Mmm... this opens up a new world of possibilities... can I just order a new reention battery with 16ah, 17.5ah or even 21ah from aliexpress or alibaba (I have seen them at 200$!!!) and make the switch in my bike??? That would be awesome!

Thanks! p.d: I did not see your message suggesting 5A after the image capture. I will think about it. Yes, NCM gave me 2A charger... Click to expand...

I don't think that with 4A charge on a >13Ah battery you're in the danger zone. it's not even to close to 1C.
