The LVR workshop view

A Lowstep frame in Alpha aluminium, designed for effortless mounting. The Verve+ 1 Lowstep in this series is built around a step-through frame: the top tube dips very low, so you step through the bike rather than swinging your leg over the saddle. The Bosch Powerpack battery sits on the down tube and the Active Line motor, the smoothest in the Bosch range, is housed at the bottom bracket.

	Verve+ 1 Lowstep (Active Line)	Verve+ 2 Lowstep (Performance Cruise)	Verve+ 3 Lowstep (Performance Line)
Level	Gentle assistance, 40 Nm	Intermediate assistance, 65 Nm	Strong assistance, 75 Nm
Construction	Powerpack battery on the down tube	Powerpack 500 Wh battery, Intuvia display	Removable integrated battery, smart system
Reference bike	22.30 kg (M)	23.58 kg (M)	26.59 kg (M)
What it means	The lightest, ideal on flat ground	More torque for the hills	The most powerful, but the heaviest

In other words: this Verve+ 1 Lowstep is a simple, light electric leisure bike for the family, 22.30 kg in M according to Trek, with all the everyday equipment fitted as standard. Its Active Line motor favours smoothness over brute force.

The 50 mm SR Suntour NEX fork soaks up potholes and dropped kerbs, and the Shimano MT200 hydraulic brakes need little lever effort, even in the rain. On a 22 kg bike, this progressive braking is reassuring on the descents down to the Pont Vieux.

The 400 Wh battery is the middle option in the series: more energy than the 300 Wh to cover several journeys in the week without charging every evening, without the extra weight of the 500 Wh. Store it away from the cold and charge it at room temperature to preserve its capacity.

Which Verve+ should you choose?

Model	Motor	Battery	Drivetrain	Weight (size)
Verve+ 1 Lowstep (Powerpack)	Bosch Active Line 40 Nm	300, 400 or 500 Wh	Shimano 8-speed 12-32	22.30 kg (M)
Verve+ 1 Lowstep (CompactTube)	Bosch Active Line 40 Nm	400 Wh	Shimano Acera 8-speed 11-40	23.30 kg (M)
Verve+ 2 Lowstep (Performance Cruise)	Bosch Performance Cruise 65 Nm	500 Wh	Shimano Acera/Altus 9-speed 11-36	23.58 kg (M)
Verve+ 3 Lowstep	Bosch Performance Line 75 Nm	545 or 800 Wh	Shimano CUES 9-speed 11-36	26.59 kg (M)

Our take: in size L, this Verve+ 1 Lowstep gets a 105 mm stem compared with 85 mm in XS. The 500 Wh is available in L for longer rides; the current Verve+ 1 Lowstep with an integrated CompactTube battery weighs 23.30 kg in M.

LVR sizing advice

The Lowstep frame makes sizing more flexible than with a conventional frame: what matters most is saddle height and reach to the handlebar. The adjustable-rise stem then lets you raise or bring the grips closer by a few centimetres.

Size	L
Rider height (cm)	175-186
Inseam (cm)	82-88
Stem (mm)	105
