The Verve+ 2 Lowstep, a step up in torque from the Verve+ 1. The same Alpha aluminium step-through frame and the same 50 mm NEX fork, but with a 65 Nm Bosch Performance Cruise motor, a 500 Wh Powerpack battery and an Intuvia display showing speed, mode and charge level. The suspension seatpost adds to the fork to filter out bumps under your hips.
| Verve+ 1 Lowstep (Active Line) | Verve+ 2 Lowstep (Performance Cruise) | Verve+ 2 Lowstep (Performance Line) | |
| Level | 40 Nm, Purion control | 65 Nm, Intuvia display | 75 Nm, smart system |
| Construction | Powerpack on the down tube | Powerpack 500 Wh on the down tube | Integrated CompactTube 400 Wh |
| Reference bike | 22.30 kg (M) | 23.58 kg (M) | 25.40 kg (M) |
| What it means | Lighter, gentler assistance | Good balance of torque and weight | More torque, connected to the app |
In other words: this Verve+ 2 Lowstep stays light for a fully equipped electric bike (23.58 kg in M according to Trek) while offering 65 Nm and 500 Wh. The Intuvia display gives you proper ride information at a glance.
The 9-speed Shimano 11-36 cassette offers a low gear to pull away at the lights without straining, and enough top end to keep up with traffic in town. The Shimano MT200 hydraulic brakes and their 160 mm rotors keep braking consistent in wet weather, where rim brake pads get clogged.
The Herrmans Clik ergonomic grips support the palm and ease the strain on your wrists on regular journeys. The wide, padded Bontrager Boulevard saddle, combined with the suspension seatpost, is set up for an upright position where your back stays straight and you can see well ahead in traffic.
| 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+ 2 Lowstep (Performance Cruise) | Bosch Performance Cruise 65 Nm | 500 Wh | Shimano Acera/Altus 9-speed 11-36 | 23.58 kg (M) |
| Verve+ 2 Lowstep | Bosch Performance Line 75 Nm | 400 Wh | Shimano CUES 9-speed 11-36 | 25.40 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: this Verve+ 2 Lowstep sits in the middle of the range: 65 Nm and 500 Wh for 23.58 kg in M. The Verve+ 3 Lowstep moves up to 75 Nm and 545 or 800 Wh, but weighs 26.59 kg in M.
