For the rider getting back into cycling who is looking for an upright position and wants to feel safe, whether on the banks of the Orb or in the streets of the centre. The step-through frame is reassuring at every stop.
The Verve+ 2 Lowstep: Bosch power in a step-through frame. Its Alpha Smooth aluminium shapes a very low top tube so you can get on and off without lifting your leg. The 400 Wh Bosch CompactTube battery slides into the down tube, the 75 Nm Performance Line motor sits at the bottom bracket and a one-piece bar and stem carries the headlight.
| Verve+ 1 Lowstep (Active Line) | Verve+ 2 Lowstep (Performance Line) | Verve+ 3 Lowstep (Performance Line) | |
| Level | 40 Nm, rigid fork | 75 Nm, 60 mm fork | 75 Nm, 60 mm fork |
| Construction | CompactTube 400 Wh | CompactTube 400 Wh | Integrated 545 or 800 Wh battery |
| Reference bike | 23.30 kg (M) | 25.40 kg (M) | 26.59 kg (M) |
| What it means | Gentle assistance, lighter bike | Torque for the hills, suspension comfort | More energy, 2.40 tyres |
In other words: the Verve+ 2 Lowstep combines a step-through frame, the 75 Nm Bosch motor, a suspension fork and a suspension seatpost for 25.40 kg in M according to Trek. The 400 Wh battery is enough for most everyday journeys and leisure rides.
The 60 mm SR Suntour NVX30 fork and the suspension seatpost work together: the front absorbs potholes, the rear stops bumps travelling up into your back. The fork preload can be adjusted to your weight.
The 400 Wh CompactTube battery is slimmer than the large batteries on the Verve+ 3 and 4, which lightens the bike and refines the frame's silhouette. It covers the vast majority of journeys and leisure rides; charge it after each ride rather than letting it run completely flat.
| Model | Motor | Battery | Drivetrain | Weight (size) |
| Verve+ 1 Lowstep (CompactTube) | Bosch Active Line 40 Nm | 400 Wh | Shimano Acera 8-speed 11-40 | 23.30 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) |
| 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+ 2 Lowstep offers 75 Nm and 400 Wh for 25.40 kg in M. The Verve+ 1 Lowstep, with 40 Nm, weighs 23.30 kg; the Verve+ 3 Lowstep adds more energy and 2.40-inch tyres.
