The LVR workshop view

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 8-speed Shimano Acera derailleur and its 11-40 cassette offer a very easy gear for pulling away and short climbs. With the motor's help, you keep a smooth cadence without pushing hard on the pedals, which is kind to your knees.

The wide SKS mudguards and the MIK-compatible aluminium rear rack make the bike ready to use the moment you leave the shop. The stem changes with the size, 85 mm in M and 105 mm in L, and its adjustable rise lets you fine-tune the position.

Which Verve+ should you choose?

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: the only colour of the Verve+ 1 Lowstep offered here in M and L, this matt red shares all its equipment with the midnight blue. For more torque, the Verve+ 2 Lowstep moves up to 75 Nm for 25.40 kg in M.
