Trek Checkpoint+ SL 5 Electric Gravel Bike - Blue

The range varies significantly based on factors like rider weight, terrain, assist level, and wind conditions. TQ systems are known for their efficiency, but expect a range from approximately 40 miles (on challenging terrain with high assist) to over 100 miles (on flatter terrain with lower assist).

The Checkpoint+ SL 5 is designed to accommodate 700x42 mm tires. While some clearance may exist for slightly wider tires, it is recommended to stay within the manufacturer's specified limits to avoid issues with frame or fork clearance, especially in muddy conditions.

The battery can be charged while installed on the bike or when removed. Use the provided TQ charger and plug it into a standard electrical outlet. The LED indicator on the display will show the charging status.
