The Trek Central app seamlessly connects with your bike so you can customize motor behavior, track your activities, get real-time range calculations, and use navigation features to figure out where you're going. You'll also get suspension set-up recommendations, service reminders, and more! YOUR PERFECT TUNE Use Trek Central to adjust how the assist from your motor feels. Adjust Max Power, Assist Factor, and Pedal Response to optimize YOUR ride. Turn it down to maximize range, get better traction, or make the bike easier to handle on tricky climbs. Crank it up if you want to go turbo-all-the-time. Note - Tuning options vary by model. TRACK YOUR RIDE You can leave your phone in your pocket or pack and still get all the data you want from your ride. With Auto Start enabled, all you have to do is start riding, and Trek Central will record all the metrics including distance, speed, elevation, power output, and more. You can also export your ride data to Strava or Komoot, and you can even share your rides to other Trek Central users. HOW FAR WILL YOU GO? See how far your Trek or Electra eBike will take you with real-time range calculations. Trek Central shows you how far you can go in each assist mode and will adjust accordingly as you adjust assist modes. You can even find your destination on the Range Cloud map to make sure you have enough battery to get there. Trek Central calculates range using advanced algorithms that factor in not only rider weight and battery capacity, but also topographic terrain data as well as historical rider behavior. DIAL IT IN Trek Central provides customized setup recommendations for your suspension settings and tire pressure. Select models like Fuel EXe 9.9 even incorporate Quarq TyreWiz and RockShox AirWiz sensors that let you know whether your pressure is high, low, or just right with a quick glance at Trek Central’s Ready to Ride screen. One-click connect pairs your sensors to your phone automatically when you connect to your bike. *Please note that the Trek Central app currently only works with Trek eBikes equipped with TQ or Hyena motors.
