Which is better for carrying kids or groceries?

The Globe Haul LT. Its long-tail frame, 31-inch rack and 441 lb total limit are built for cargo and passengers. The Trek's rack is for light loads only.

Which rides better on rough pavement?

The Trek Allant+ 7S Gen 2. Its 63 mm suspension fork with lockout absorbs bumps, while the Haul LT has a rigid fork.

Which has longer range?

The Globe Haul LT. Its 772 Wh battery is rated for up to 60 miles, against a 500 Wh battery on the Trek.

Is the Trek worth stepping up to over the Haul LT?

Only if you don't need cargo capacity. The Trek gives you a mid-drive motor, suspension and a much lighter bike; the Haul LT gives you hauling ability instead.

Which is easier to store and maneuver?

The Trek. At 58 lbs with a standard wheelbase it is far easier to lift, park and turn than the 88 lb, long-wheelbase Haul LT.

Do both assist to 28 mph?

Yes. Both are Class 3 e-bikes with pedal assist up to 28 mph.

Trek Allant+ 7S Gen 2 vs Specialized Globe Haul LT

Buy the Trek Allant+ 7S Gen 2 if you want a fast, smooth-riding commuter that feels like a bike. Buy the Specialized Globe Haul LT if you need to carry kids, groceries or gear and can live with a long, heavy machine. The Trek has a mid-drive Bosch motor, a suspension fork and a lighter build, and reviewers call its power delivery refined. The Haul LT has far more cargo capacity, a bigger battery and a longer range, but it is rigid and much heavier.

Choose the Trek Allant+ 7S Gen 2 if your rides are mostly commuting and road miles and you want suspension, integrated lights and a natural pedaling feel.
Choose the Specialized Globe Haul LT if you need to haul cargo or passengers and want a long-tail frame with a huge rack and long range.
