11 reasons to buy

  • The cargo box, rated for 176lb, comes with two child seats with five-point safety belts. The MIK HD-compatible rear rack supports an extra 59.5lb.
  • The Fetch+ 4 has fenders, a 180-lumen headlight, a rear light with brake activation, and a frame lock.
  • Experts say the Fetch+ 4 feels stable and planted at high and low speeds.
  • Both riders and passengers enjoy the smooth ride quality.
  • Reviewers appreciate the cable steering, which allows the front wheel to turn 85° for tight maneuvers.
  • The enviolo CVP Heavy Duty internally geared hub can shift while stationary or under load.
  • The Gates Carbon belt and enviolo hub together are grease-free, quiet, and very low-maintenance.
  • Reviewers find the double-leg kickstand well-designed and sturdy.
  • The TranzX suspension dropper seatpost makes it easier to dismount the bike, and experts appreciate the added comfort.
  • Tests show the Tektro HD-E737 hydraulic disc brakes provide ample stopping power when braking from 20mph while loaded with cargo.
  • An expert says the Schwalbe Pick-Up cargo-specific tires provide good traction.

10 reasons not to buy

  • Weighing 165lb, the Fetch+ 4 is extremely heavy and difficult to maneuver while parked.
  • The Fetch+ 4's 386lb payload capacity is below average for front-load cargo e-bikes.
  • This bike doesn't have a display. Owners must use the Bosch app on their phone as a display.
  • A 176lb reviewer gets just 28 miles of range using max assist. With 88lb of cargo, the same reviewer gets 24.9 miles.
  • One reviewer finds the stem too high, and it isn't easily adjustable.
  • An expert experiences wrist pain due to the narrow swept-back handlebar.
  • Testers say lifting passengers or heavy cargo up and into the box can be strenuous.
  • The Fetch+ 4's power button is positioned next to the PAS buttons, leading one tester to accidentally push it while riding.
  • The cargo box is rated to carry four children, but a reviewer says it would have to be four small toddlers.
  • The accessory selection for the Fetch+ 4's cargo box is below average for this type of cargo e-bike.

Bottom line

The Trek Fetch+ 4 is an electric cargo bike with a Bosch Performance Line Cargo motor and 724Wh battery. The cargo box fits four small kids (176lb capacity), and the MIK HD-compatible rear rack supports 59.5lb. However, the payload capacity of 386lb is low. Experts praise the comfortable ride quality, stable handling, sturdy kickstand, and stopping power. Additionally, they appreciate the dropper suspension seatpost and low-maintenance drivetrain. The bike's high weight, limited range, and lack of a display draw criticism. While experts consider Trek's Fetch+ 4 a great e-cargo bike, it has many shortcomings for this price point.

Test – Trek Fetch+ 4: The Two-Wheeled Cargo Bike That Can Carry Five Children [French]

Stable and very easy to handle, this bike is safe but also lacks dynamism. It must be said that with its 165.35lb empty, the bike is a big baby that is a bit clumsy. It is nevertheless very comfortable…

[Test] Trek Fetch+ 4 Cargo Bike, High-End Large-Capacity Cargo Bike [French]

Well served and designed as a whole, the Trek Fetch+ 4 remains a (very) high-end bike. Also, its size and weight make it a bike that requires some time to adapt before fully enjoying it.

Trek Fetch+ 4 300 Mile Review

Overall, it’s a great bike. There are lighter options out there, but you’re trading weight for lots of seating.
