Who is it for?

For the professional heading to the office, practice or shop in a shirt or suit who wants to arrive without breaking a sweat. The low frame avoids creasing your outfit as you get on, and the gears let you keep the effort light even on a hilly route.

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.

The secret to arriving fresh comes down to two words: light cadence. With a low gear and a higher assistance mode, your legs spin without straining and the Bosch motor provides most of the energy. Assistance fades out at 25 km/h, which is plenty in town. The SKS mudguards protect your clothes from puddles.

The MIK-compatible rack takes a waterproof office pannier that clips on and comes inside with you. The 360 Wh battery is removable and lockable: you can charge it at work if your commute is long. The adjustable stem lets you set the bar height for a properly upright position.

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: this R8 LS is the Lowstep that balances weight (21.70 kg in M) and versatility. The R10 LS adds 240 Wh for 700 g; the belt-drive B LS, 1.20 kg lighter, is limited to a single gear.

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

Your questions

Which pannier should I choose?	A MIK-compatible office pannier that clips onto the rack.
Will I arrive without sweating?	With a low gear and a higher mode, the effort stays very moderate.
Is the black visible?	The tyres have a reflective strip; add good lights in winter.
