A bigger display is needed and I do not want to spend $200 for the larger accessory one. \nThe XT-3 tires are a disappointment. We live in Utah and there's lots of goat head thorns and small gravel that gets picked up in the tred. Knowing what I know now, I should have asked for better tires from the start. I have a older Trek Mtn bike with Continental Town and Country tires that does not gick up thorns or small gravel in the treds.\nOverall, this is an excellent bike that is affordably-prices and performs very well.","textLength":759,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":0,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"MLJ","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":"Hideout, UT","state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2025-09-10T00:00:00-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"syndication":{"sourceName":"Trek","siteUrl":"https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/1719_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"1643-5337374","title":"Trek 2026 Marlin+ 6 Electric Mountain Bike","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/1643-5337374","category":"electric-bikes","reviewCount":3,"ratingCount":3,"averageRating":5,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":0,"2":0,"3":0,"4":0,"5":3},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":7371783,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"Great Mountain E-Bike","text":"My wife is petit and has a small frame Marlin +6 bike. She really enjoys single track and gravel riding. The bike only weighs approximately 43kg compared to the step-through monstrosities weighing 34kg or more.\nSome comments are in order:\nThe XT-3 tires are a poor choice for use in Utah. The center tire tred catches all sorts of thorns and small gravel pieces. There are better choices out there for tire tred designs that do not contribute to flats. We have added Kevlar inner belts and thicker tubes, but a better tred design is needed.\nThe Bosch graphic display is tiny and very hard to read in the sun. A larger display is needed with colors of the various power modes. I do not want to have to spend several hundred dollars for the larger Bosch display add on and argue that Bosch could do better with the stock display.","textLength":827,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":0,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"MLJ","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":"Hideout, UT 84036","state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2025-09-02T00:00:00-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"syndication":{"sourceName":"Trek","siteUrl":"https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/1719_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"1643-5337374","title":"Trek 2026 Marlin+ 6 Electric Mountain Bike","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/1643-5337374","category":"electric-bikes","reviewCount":3,"ratingCount":3,"averageRating":5,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":0,"2":0,"3":0,"4":0,"5":3},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":7371784,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"I would buy this bike again","text":"I've riden over 100 miles on my bike, on gravel and paved and love it.
