TREK DISTRICT 4 EQUIPPED
$1,730 // 34.2 LB (Large)
Fully equipped with a rear rack, lights, fenders, and an internally geared drivetrain, the District 4 Equipped includes almost every amenity imaginable, stripping away off-bike maintenance and preparation in favor of a polished on-bike experience. Arriving at work or the grocery is more graceful than ever on this quiet, reliable utility bike. With a belt drive, quickstopping hydraulic brakes, and an available step-through version (called Stagger), it highlights the reason so many of us prefer to commute by bike: the joy of motion.—Aithne Feay
MOMENTUM PAKYAK E+
$6,845 (As Tested) // 103 LB (One Size)
A sturdy and dependable way to transport cargo or humans around town, the Momentum PakYak E+ electric bike lets you enjoy the ride rather than deal with the frustrations of car traffic and congestion for those short- and medium-length trips. The PakYak E+, a one-size midtail-style cargo e-bike from Momentum, comes equipped with a front basket, rear rack, a heavy-duty kickstand, and lights. A wide range of optional accessories customize your PakYak’s cargo configuration based on what you want to carry. A class 3 e-bike, the bike has 80Nm of torque and pedal-assisted power up to 28 mph via five support levels. Paired with a five-speed Shimano Nexus internal gear hub, the bike helps you haul kids or cargo efficiently and comfortably without breaking a sweat.—Caitlin Thompson
