For the rider who wants to be seen from afar in traffic and ride light, for trips around town, to the beach or along the seafront promenade at Valras. It will also appeal to anyone looking for an electric bike with a cheerful look.
The Verve+ 1 LT Lowstep, the lightweight Verve+. Here, there is no mid-drive motor: the assistance comes from a Hyena motor housed in the rear wheel hub, backed up by a torque sensor in the bottom bracket that measures the force of each pedal stroke. The Alpha Gold aluminium step-through frame hides a 250 Wh battery; the whole bike comes down to 18.90 kg in M according to Trek.
| Verve+ 1 LT Lowstep (hub) | Verve+ 1 Lowstep (mid-drive) | Verve+ 2 Lowstep (mid-drive) | |
| Level | Hyena 40 Nm in the wheel | Bosch Active Line 40 Nm | Bosch Performance Line 75 Nm |
| Construction | Alpha Gold, 250 Wh battery | Alpha Smooth, CompactTube 400 Wh | Alpha Smooth, CompactTube 400 Wh |
| Reference bike | 18.90 kg (M) | 23.30 kg (M) | 25.40 kg (M) |
| What it means | 4.40 kg less than the Verve+ 1 | More on-board energy | The most torque for the hills |
In other words: the Verve+ 1 LT Lowstep is the easiest Verve+ to carry, store and handle. Its 40 Nm hub motor and 250 Wh battery suit urban journeys and rides on gently rolling terrain.
The Alpha Gold frame is a quality aluminium in the Trek range; it integrates the rack, mudguard and kickstand mounts, and hides the battery in the down tube. With no mid-drive motor, the lines stay slim and close to those of a conventional bike.
The MIK-compatible rear rack takes up to 25 kg according to Trek: a beach bag, shopping or a basket fit easily. On an 18.90 kg bike, that load stays manageable by hand when lifting it up a step or putting the bike away.
| 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 three colours of the Verve+ 1 LT Lowstep share the same motor, battery and weight. For more energy, the Bosch-powered Verve+ 1 Lowstep moves up to 400 Wh for 23.30 kg in M.
