For couples who like heading out for the day, one on a straight frame, the other on this Lowstep, and want to ride at the same pace. With four sizes from S to XL, it suits very different builds, from 147 to 203 cm according to Trek.
The longest-range Lowstep in the range. With the Inbound+ 2 R10 LS, Trek combines the low step-over frame with the biggest battery in the family, a 600 Wh PowerTube, and the ten-speed Shimano CUES drivetrain. The Linkglide parts, thicker than on a conventional drivetrain, handle the torque of the Bosch rear hub motor well. Alpha Smooth aluminium frame.
| Shimano CUES, 10-speed (R10 LS) | Shimano ESSA, 8-speed (R8 LS) | Gates belt, 1-speed (B LS) | |
| How it works | 10 Linkglide gears | 8 gears | Single ratio, belt |
| Maintenance | Slow wear, reinforced chain | Routine maintenance | No greasing |
| Lowstep version | 22.40 kg (M), 600 Wh | 21.70 kg (M), 360 Wh | 20.50 kg (M), 360 Wh |
| What it means | Ride far, accessible frame | A good everyday compromise | The lightest, flat towns |
In short: the Inbound+ 2 R10 LS weighs 22.40 kg in M, 700 g more than the R8 LS, for an extra 240 Wh and two more gears. It's the Lowstep to choose for long rides and journeys that keep stretching.
A long ride is all about endurance: the 600 Wh battery offers a comfortable margin, and the ten CUES gears let you keep a steady cadence all day long. The Bosch motor's assistance, capped at 25 km/h, supports restarts without harshness, ideal for riding as a pair without drifting apart.
On a bike weighing over 22 kg, the low frame makes it easier to manoeuvre when stopped: you stand next to the bike, one hand on the bar, to put it on its stand or push it along a pedestrian street. The Pletscher Comp Flex 40 kickstand keeps the bike stable during the picnic break.
| Model | Motor / battery | Drivetrain | Frame | Weight (size) |
| 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 B 540 LS | Bosch hub 45 Nm / 540 Wh | Gates belt, 1-speed | Lowstep | 21.40 kg (M) |
| Inbound+ 2 R10 | Bosch hub 45 Nm / 600 Wh | Shimano CUES 10-speed | Straight | 22.60 kg (L) |
Our take: the R10 LS adds 240 Wh and two gears to the R8 LS for 700 g (22.40 kg versus 21.70 kg in M). For long rides, that difference is well worth it.
