Who is it for?

For the active retiree who wants to keep riding every day, visit family or go to the club, without dreading hills or swinging a leg over a conventional frame. The eight gears give you the choice of pedalling a bit harder or relying more on the motor.

The LVR workshop view

A low frame and eight gears for streets that climb. The Inbound+ 2 R8 LS combines two things customers often ask for in the shop: a Lowstep frame you can step through effortlessly and a proper range of gears. The 8-speed Shimano ESSA derailleur is operated by thumb, and the Bosch motor hidden in the rear hub supports every restart. It's all built on an Alpha Smooth aluminium frame.

	Shimano ESSA, 8-speed (R8 LS)	Gates belt, 1-speed (B LS)	Shimano CUES, 10-speed (R10 LS)
How it works	8 gears at your thumb	Fixed ratio, belt	10 Linkglide gears
Maintenance	Derailleur greasing and adjustment	Belt tension to check	Greasing, slow wear
Lowstep version	21.70 kg (M), 360 Wh	20.50 kg (M), 360 Wh	22.40 kg (M), 600 Wh
What it means	Versatile and affordable to maintain	The lightest, best kept to the flat	For riding far and often

In short: 21.70 kg in M, a 360 Wh battery and eight gears: the Inbound+ 2 R8 LS is the versatile Lowstep in the range, between the lighter belt-drive version and the longer-range R10 LS.

An e-bike doesn't remove the effort, it measures it out. With the Purion 200 control's modes and the eight gears, you fine-tune your share of the work: a gentle mode and a low gear to stay fit, a strong mode on a climb. Assistance is limited to 25 km/h, a comfortable speed for riding safely.

The Selle Royal saddle, the 330 mm seatpost and the lowriser bar brought back towards the rider create an upright position that eases the back and wrists. The 50 mm Girona Comp tyres smooth out road imperfections. The low frame also lets you put both feet on the ground when stopped, a welcome safety feature at junctions.

Which Inbound+ should you choose?

Model	Motor / battery	Drivetrain	Frame	Weight (size)
Inbound+ 2 B LS	Bosch hub 45 Nm / 360 Wh	Gates belt, 1-speed	Lowstep	20.50 kg (M)
Inbound+ 2 R8 LS	Bosch hub 45 Nm / 360 Wh	Shimano ESSA 8-speed	Lowstep	21.70 kg (M)
Inbound+ 2 R10 LS	Bosch hub 45 Nm / 600 Wh	Shimano CUES 10-speed	Lowstep	22.40 kg (M)
Inbound+ 2 R8	Bosch hub 45 Nm / 360 Wh	Shimano ESSA 8-speed	Straight	21.50 kg (L)

Our take: compared with the belt-drive B Lowstep (20.50 kg in M), this R8 LS weighs 1.20 kg more but offers eight gears. If your rides last more than half a day, the R10 LS brings 600 Wh for 22.40 kg.

LVR sizing advice

Four sizes, from S (147 to 155 cm) to XL (185 to 203 cm). On a Lowstep, many riders hesitate between two sizes: the smaller one gives a more upright position and a closer bar, useful for looking over your shoulder in traffic.

Size	S	M	L	XL
Rider height (cm)	147-155	155-173	170-185	185-203
Inseam (cm)	69-88	77-96	80-99	86-105
Stem (mm)	70	70	110	110
