2024 Electra Ponto Go! ebike Review Walkaround and Test Ride Trek

I go over the brand new Electra Ponto Go! that is distributed by Trek. I go over the spec of the bike. I show you all the features and take the bike for a test ride.

I just bought this bike and it is being built right now, I am looking forward to riding such a nice vehicle. thx for the insights and coverage!

you missed one major key note plus the water spot has accessory battery extention accessory that adds another 45% to max distance retaled around 300$ ish dollars an bike seller told me abut it but the con it not listed on main site yet but bike retailers can sell them also an extra battery is 600$ with the swap out max time at 2.5 min. making this last around a whopping 120 miles+ with extension battery. meaning you divide the max distance by half if you use this for a round trip math making it an 60 mile round trip bike with accessory addon.

I bought this bike yesterday, my first EBike and it's amazing.

[@calicycles1998]

They are a lot of fun. Wanting to get one myself

[@gawmich]

Can I buy this shipped to Europe? Any ideas?

[@Diegoopsm]

How’s it holding up so far?

[@turtle19dad]

I love how it also has signals and a Quad Lock charger.

[@edven4970]

It’s amazing been riding since I got it

[@vishnupriyagudelli8676]

How many cost

[@mcoffin3419]

does anyone know how i can remove speed limiter on this bike

[@sarge_on_wheels]

Most likely not going to be something that Trek/Electra will allow. It could probably be done with a custom controller but you'd lose all the Trek Central app connectivity features of the bike, and probably hard to find one that also works with the quad lock charging dock.

I have had this bike for about a week now. Please do something about the seat. It is to hard, and need to be higher

[@calicycles1998]

Trek doesn't have another seat cushion but they do have seat blocks to raise the seat higher

[@brentcollins9727]

The low seating position means all your weight is on your rump. Versus a normal bike that’s supported by your arms and feet. 20 miles of bumps has gotta hurt.

[@Kazserah]

I don't know if I should get this or Nishiki Minooka from Dick's

[@calicycles1998]

this, you will have real shop service.

[@emotopdx]

They lost me at 60nm of torque! Weak Rad bikes even have 80nm. That's just way too low when you have a load and hills. Too bad because it looks like a nice bike. Also, the seat doesnt seem to be height adjustable, that's a terrible design, so unless you are 5 ft tall, pedaling is not going to be feasible.

[@calicycles1998]

The power is there. It totes a 300lbs + coworker around no problem.

[@Altema22]

I was on a group ride this week with a couple of these bikes, and they seemed to have decent power. It's not going to climb a 28% grade like a Rad (even with Rad's intentionally tame programming), but they did ok. What did surprise me is that the new Ponto Go rattled over potholes and bumps, and was less solid than a RadMini folding bike with 8,000 miles.
