Why we love it

Trek Marlin+ 8 29" Hardtail E-Bike

Soar up trails, through town and everywhere in between with the ultimate do-anything e-MTB. The Marlin+ is an electric hardtail that gives you all the versatility you crave and adds in a simple boost for flattening climbs and cruising with ease. You get features that matter most, like a Bosch drive unit and a confident and capable bike frame – without the hefty price tag. Are you ready to get hooked?

The Marlin+ 8 is an electric mountain bike that's ready to up your game on the trail. Its Bosch Active Line Plus motor gives you just the boost you need for getting up steep climbs and riding further, and doesn't break the bank, and a 120 mm suspension fork keeps handling smooth through the rough stuff. Upgraded components, like wide tubeless-ready wheels and tyres and a 12-speed Shimano drivetrain make this a trail-savvy ride that's ready to go anywhere.

Smooth, quiet support

Bosch Active Line Plus mid-power motor doles out a smooth 50 Nm of torque. Its controlled acceleration, low pedal resistance and super-quiet operation give you a natural-feeling, unobtrusive ride.

Clean, simple controls

The 2-in-1 remote and display provides all the information and control you'll need in a compact, full-colour handlebar controller with intuitive controls.

System safety taken seriously

Trek sets its e-bike safety standards high with UL certified e-systems, sophisticated battery management fail-safe systems and battery cells from tier 1 suppliers.

What our customers say

Malcolm A.

Verified Buyer

"I've been lucky enough to ski all over the world over the decades. So when I say Racers Edge Wanaka are not only world class but best in class, I'm comparing them globally. Their level of knowledge is second to none and is backed up by customer service I have seldom seen in any industry. They are passionate about skiing and even more so, they are passionate about skiers."

Citrine H.

Verified Buyer

"Wow! My sister and I popped into the store yesterday morning to buy some ski boots. Jessica gave us THE BEST service I have ever received. She was so patient and clearly very knowledgeable. She spent 2 hours making sure we had the best possible boot. I can’t thank her and the team enough."

Andrew S.

Verified Buyer

"Now, I'm a snowboarder and you’re mainly about that two plank ski-life. We don't mix a lot, but I was welcomed with warm arms with my one-plank, and your staff were extremely helpful. I want to applaud your team for one of my best customer service experiences of my life. Thank you."

Duncan S.

Verified Buyer

"Spent a lot of time here this week! Took my daughter in to buy new boots and they refitted her existing boots for $100 instead. Ended up spending my savings on a new set of skis and getting my boots refitted as well. Great advice, smart team, know their stuff."
