For the rider who wants a discreet electric bike that is easy to step over and light to handle, for getting to work or doing the shopping. This colour comes in XL, for tall riders from 186 to 197 cm.
The Midstep, between straight top tube and step-through. This FX+ 2 LT Midstep keeps the mechanics of the FX+ 2 LT, a 40 Nm Hyena motor in the rear hub and a 250 Wh battery in the down tube, but its top tube slopes down towards the bottom bracket. You step over the bike lower than with a straight top tube, while keeping a stiffer frame than a very open Lowstep.
| FX+ 2 LT Midstep | FX+ 2 LT (straight top tube) | FX+ 7 Midstep | |
| Step-over | Sloping top tube | High top tube | Sloping top tube |
| Motor | Hyena 40 Nm in the wheel | Hyena 40 Nm in the wheel | TQ HPR50 50 Nm at the bottom bracket |
| Weight (M) | 17.65 kg | 17.75 kg | 19.30 kg |
| What it means | Easier mounting | Sportier look | More torque, Alpha Platinum frame |
In other words: 17.65 kg in M, 100 g less than the FX+ 2 LT with a straight top tube, for the same full equipment. The Midstep is aimed at riders who get on and off the bike often, at the lights or outside shops.
Satin black has a practical advantage: it shows few marks and blends into the urban landscape, which attracts less attention when the bike is parked. We still recommend a sturdy lock and theft insurance, as for any electric bike.
The 42-tooth single chainring and the 11-40 cassette cover the needs of town riding, from bridge climbs to the long straights of the avenue. The Hyena assistance stays active up to 25 km/h; beyond that, the bike pedals like a conventional hybrid thanks to its low weight.
| Model | Motor | Battery | Drivetrain | Weight |
| FX+ 2 LT | Hyena rear hub 40 Nm | 250 Wh | Shimano Acera 8-speed 11-40 | 17.75 kg (M) |
| FX+ 2 LT Midstep | Hyena rear hub 40 Nm | 250 Wh | Shimano Acera 8-speed 11-40 | 17.65 kg (M) |
| FX+ 7 Midstep | TQ HPR50 50 Nm | 360 Wh | Shimano CUES 10-speed 11-48 | 19.30 kg (M) |
| FX+ 7 | TQ HPR50 50 Nm | 360 Wh | Shimano CUES 10-speed 11-48 | 19.30 kg (L) |
Our take: with the same equipment as the sage blue FX+ 2 LT Midstep, this black colour goes for understatement. The FX+ 2 LT with a straight top tube weighs 17.75 kg; the FX+ 7 Midstep steps up to 50 Nm with a TQ motor.
