Who is it for?

For the leisure rider who likes to head off for half a day on the Passa Païs greenway or down to the beaches at Valras, and would rather not keep an eye on the battery gauge. It also suits riders who charge infrequently and string together several days of journeys.

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 Bosch Active Line motor delivers 40 Nm very smoothly: it supports your pedalling rather than pushing you along, and stays discreet. Paired with 500 Wh, it makes for a bike with real staying power on flat or gently rolling routes, typical of the banks of the Orb and the canal.

The MIK-compatible rear rack takes baskets and panniers that clip on in one movement. On rides towards the sea, the sea breeze or the tramontane are often felt: that is where a large battery comes into its own, as you can stay in a stronger mode without cutting the ride short.

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: of the three batteries for this Verve+ 1 Lowstep, the 500 Wh allows the longest rides, with the same motor and model weight. If you are mainly after torque on the climbs, look at the Verve+ 2 Lowstep and its 65 Nm.

LVR sizing advice

This colour is offered in XS (147 to 155 cm, 85 mm stem) and in L (175 to 186 cm, 105 mm stem) according to Trek. If you are in between, the adjustable stem compensates a little, but a test ride in store remains the safest bet.

Size	XS	L
Rider height (cm)	147-155	175-186
Inseam (cm)	69-73	82-88
Stem (mm)	85	105
