For the rider who loves heading off to Valras-Plage or Sérignan and coming back into the wind without cutting the ride short, or for retirees who ride for several hours every week. The step-through frame makes the many photo and picnic stops easier.
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.
The wind is the real terrain on the Béziers coast: riding into the sea breeze or the tramontane, the assistance works harder and the battery drains faster. The 800 Wh gives you the headroom to keep a strong mode on the way home, where a small battery would force you to economise.
The Linkglide chain and cassette of the CUES drivetrain are designed to last under the torque of an electric motor; the salty sea air still calls for regular cleaning and lubrication. A gentle rinse with clean water after a ride along the beach preserves the drivetrain.
| 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: with the same equipment, the Lava 800 Wh has 255 Wh more than the Lava 545 Wh. If you prefer larger brakes and a wider-range cassette, the Verve+ 4 Lowstep 800 Wh weighs 23.50 kg in M.
