The Trek Checkpoint+ SL 5 is an electric gravel bike designed for riders seeking to extend their adventures with a powerful yet quiet assist. Its key benefit is the combination of a lightweight carbon frame, smooth TQ motor, and long-range battery, making challenging terrain more accessible. A potential caveat for some may be the integrated nature of the e-system, limiting some customization options. This guide will help you understand its features, performance, and care.

The range varies significantly based on rider weight, terrain, assist level, and rider input. However, Trek designs the system for extended rides, often allowing for 4-6 hour adventures with moderate assist.
The battery charges via a dedicated port on the battery itself. Use the provided TQ charger and plug it into a standard wall outlet. The LED controller will indicate charging status.
The Checkpoint+ SL 5 comes with 700x42mm tires. While the frame has clearance for wider tires, consult the manufacturer's specifications or a bike shop to confirm the maximum recommended tire width for optimal performance and safety.
Yes, the integrated mounts for racks and mudguards, combined with the comfortable geometry and electric assist, make it a capable and comfortable commuter, especially for longer distances or hilly routes.
The TQ motor is designed for low maintenance. Keep the exterior clean and avoid pressure washing the motor unit. Any internal servicing should be performed by an authorized TQ dealer.
Yes, the bike can be ridden like a traditional gravel bike without the battery installed or if the battery is depleted. However, you will be carrying the extra weight of the motor system.
The TQ LED controller typically shows your current assist level, battery percentage, speed, riding mode, and Bluetooth/ANT+ connection status.
Check that the battery is charged and properly connected. Ensure the system is turned on and no error codes are displayed on the TQ LED controller. Verify that the speed sensor is clean and correctly positioned.
Try turning the system off and on again. If the issue persists, check the connection between the display and the main harness. Contact dealer support if necessary.
Ensure the derailleur and hanger are not bent. Check that the derailleur cable is properly tensioned. If problems continue, the drivetrain may need adjustment by a qualified mechanic.
Verify the charger is properly connected to the battery and a working power outlet. Inspect the charging port on the battery and the charger for any damage or debris.
Initial Setup: Before your first ride, ensure the battery is fully charged using the provided charger. Familiarize yourself with the TQ LED controller and its functions. Adjust saddle height and handlebar position for optimal comfort. It's recommended to have a professional bike shop perform a final safety check.
Compatibility: The bike uses a UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) for potential future derailleur upgrades. The TQ system is compatible with Bluetooth and ANT+ devices for data syncing. Ensure any accessories, such as lights or bags, are compatible with the integrated mounts.
Care: Keep the bike clean by washing it with mild soap and water; avoid high-pressure washers near the motor and battery. Regularly check tire pressure and inspect tires for wear or damage. Clean and lubricate the chain periodically. The TQ motor and battery system require minimal user maintenance but should be serviced by authorized dealers if issues arise. Store the bike in a dry, protected area when not in use.
