FAQs
Can I use a child seat with the rear rack?
The rack is MIK-compatible, which is great for quick-release bags and accessories. Always verify that your child seat is compatible with the rack's weight limit and mounting style.
How often should I service the internal gear hub?
It is recommended to have the internal hub serviced by a professional mechanic every 2,000 to 3,000 miles to ensure the internal oil or grease remains effective.
Is the bike suitable for rain?
Yes, the bike is designed for city commuting and includes mudguards to protect the rider from spray; however, it should not be submerged in deep water.
Can I upgrade the battery later?
The bike is designed for the Removable Integrated Battery system, allowing for potential capacity upgrades based on frame compatibility at your local Trek retailer.
What does the Purion 200 controller show?
The Purion 200 acts as both your display and remote, showing speed, battery level, and assistance mode, and allows you to toggle the lights.
Troubleshooting
Motor assistance feels intermittent
Check that the battery is properly seated in the frame and ensure the speed sensor magnet on the rear wheel is correctly aligned.
Difficulty shifting gears
Check the alignment markers on the Shimano Nexus hub interface to ensure the cable tension is correctly indexed.
Lights not turning on
Verify that the light settings are enabled within the Bosch Purion 200 controller interface and check all cable connections.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your bike in top condition, follow these guidelines:
Battery Care: Charge the battery regularly and store it in a cool, dry environment. Avoid leaving the battery drained for long periods.
Tire Pressure: Check the pressure of the Bontrager E6 Hard-Case Lite tires weekly to ensure efficiency and prevent flats.
Component Inspection: Periodically verify that the MIK-compatible rack is secure before attaching cargo. The `Blendr` stem allows for the clean attachment of compatible lights or cycling computers.
Service: Because this bike uses a Shimano Nexus hub, avoid shifting under extreme pressure. If the shifting feels imprecise, have your local shop check the cable tension at the hub interface.
