Trek launches first North American e-bike with Bosch's upgraded Active Line Plus motor
Trek has introduced the Marlin+ 6 Gen 2 electric mountain bike, becoming the first North American manufacturer to feature Bosch's new Active Line Plus motor. The upgraded motor delivers 600 watts of power and 60 Nm of torque with up to 340% pedal assistance, while reducing volume by 17% and weight by approximately 0.5 kg through a redesigned two-stage gearbox. The bike targets recreational riders seeking trail capability without requiring full performance mountain bike specifications.
Why it matters
This product launch signals Bosch's strategy to expand mid-tier e-bike motor supply in North America, potentially creating procurement opportunities for manufacturers seeking lighter, more powerful drive systems. The focus on versatile, accessible e-bikes rather than high-performance models may indicate growing demand in the recreational and commuter segments.
