This Trek Verve+ 3 Lowstep gets the 800 Wh battery, hidden in the down tube of an aluminium step-through frame. The 75 Nm Bosch Performance Line motor, 2.40-inch tyres and full equipment remain those of the model, for 26.59 kg in size M according to Trek. The Hex Blue paintwork dresses the frame in a bright, rich blue.

For the leisure rider who enjoys long rides on the Passa Païs greenway or along the Canal du Midi, and wants to get on and off the bike easily at every stop. Offered in L and XL.
The Verve+ 3 Lowstep, the 3rd-generation step-through frame. In Alpha Smooth aluminium, it keeps the top tube very low so that you swing your leg in front of the saddle, an invaluable move when stopped at a light or loaded with panniers. The battery disappears into the down tube and is removed with the key; the Bosch Performance Line motor is protected by a Motor Armour skid plate.
| Verve+ 2 Lowstep (400 Wh) | Verve+ 3 Lowstep (545 / 800 Wh) | Verve+ 4 Lowstep (545 / 800 Wh) | |
| Level | 75 Nm, CompactTube 400 Wh | 75 Nm, choice of two batteries | 75 Nm, choice of two batteries |
| Construction | 2.00 in tyres, integrated bar and stem | 2.40 in tyres, adjustable stem | Tubeless Ready rims, lowriser handlebar |
| Reference bike | 25.40 kg (M) | 26.59 kg (M) | 23.50 kg (M) |
| What it means | Less on-board energy | Wider tyres, choice of battery | Lockout fork, 180 mm brakes |
In other words: the Verve+ 3 Lowstep combines an easy-to-step-through frame, the 75 Nm Bosch Performance Line motor and a choice of 545 or 800 Wh battery. Trek quotes 26.59 kg in M, 700 g less than the standard-frame Verve+ 3.
On a long greenway, comfort matters as much as energy: a 60 mm SR Suntour NVX30 fork with adjustable preload, a suspension seatpost and 2.40-inch E6 Hard-Case Lite tyres filter out roots and broken surfaces. Their puncture protection saves you from making repairs at the side of the path.
The 800 Wh battery leaves headroom for unplanned detours. We don't give a range figure: it varies with the mode, wind, temperature and your weight. Charge it after the ride rather than leaving it flat, and store it at half charge in winter.
| Model | Motor | Battery | Drivetrain | Weight (size) |
| 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) |
| Verve+ 3 | Bosch Performance Line 75 Nm | 545 or 800 Wh | Shimano CUES 9-speed 11-36 | 27.29 kg (M) |
| Verve+ 4 Lowstep | Bosch Performance Line 75 Nm | 545 or 800 Wh | Shimano CUES 9-speed 11-46 | 23.50 kg (M) |
Our take: the Verve+ 3 Lowstep 800 Wh weighs the same as the model quoted by Trek, 26.59 kg in M, and offers 255 Wh more than the 545 Wh. The Verve+ 4 Lowstep 800 Wh combines the same battery with 180 mm rotors.

LVR sizing advice This colour is offered in L (175 to 186 cm) and XL (186 to 197 cm) according to Trek. With a step-through frame, if you are between two sizes, the smaller one makes stopping more comfortable; the 105 mm adjustable stem then fine-tunes the handlebar.
