For the urban rider who wants a reliable electric bike without unnecessary maintenance, for getting to work, the station or the town centre. It suits flat or gently rolling routes.
The current Verve+ 1 Lowstep: the simplicity of the Bosch smart system. The Alpha Smooth aluminium step-through frame now integrates the 400 Wh CompactTube battery in the down tube, and the Active Line motor moves to the Bosch smart system, operated by a small LED control. The rigid alloy fork replaces the suspension fork: less weight at the front, no suspension maintenance.
| Verve+ 1 LT Lowstep (hub) | Verve+ 1 Lowstep (Active Line) | Verve+ 2 Lowstep (Performance Line) | |
| Level | Hyena hub motor 40 Nm | Mid-drive motor 40 Nm | Mid-drive motor 75 Nm |
| Construction | 250 Wh battery, Alpha Gold alloy | CompactTube 400 Wh, Alpha Smooth | CompactTube 400 Wh, 60 mm fork |
| Reference bike | 18.90 kg (M) | 23.30 kg (M) | 25.40 kg (M) |
| What it means | The lightest, more discreet assistance | Natural assistance, more range | More torque and comfort |
In other words: this Verve+ 1 Lowstep is aimed at uncomplicated commuting and leisure riding: 40 Nm, 400 Wh, eight speeds up to a 40-tooth sprocket and all the equipment as standard, for 23.30 kg in M according to Trek.
The rigid alloy fork needs no suspension maintenance and lightens the front of the bike; the 2.00-inch Bontrager H2 Comp tyres provide cushioning over cobbles and kerbs. It is a choice for simplicity, consistent with urban use.
The Bosch LED control on the smart system shows the mode and charge level with indicator lights: no display to check, just a flick of the thumb. The Active Line motor supports your pedalling smoothly and stays quiet, ideal in town.
| Model | Motor | Battery | Drivetrain | Weight (size) |
| Verve+ 1 LT Lowstep | Hyena hub motor 40 Nm | 250 Wh | Shimano Acera 8-speed 11-40 | 18.90 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 | Bosch Performance Line 75 Nm | 400 Wh | Shimano CUES 9-speed 11-36 | 25.40 kg (M) |
| Verve+ 1 Lowstep (Powerpack) | Bosch Active Line 40 Nm | 300, 400 or 500 Wh | Shimano 8-speed 12-32 | 22.30 kg (M) |
Our take: compared with the Verve+ 1 Lowstep with a Powerpack battery (22.30 kg in M), this version integrates the 400 Wh battery and weighs 23.30 kg in M. The Verve+ 1 LT Lowstep drops to 18.90 kg with a motor in the wheel.
