For anyone who loves meandering along the Canal du Midi, stopping at the Fonseranes locks or in a village, and setting off again effortlessly. It will suit those who want a quiet e-bike that's easy to step through and capable of long rides on the flat.
The belt-drive Lowstep that goes further. This model combines three simple ideas: a Lowstep frame you step through effortlessly, a Gates Sidetrack belt that does away with chain and grease, and a 540 Wh PowerTube battery, 50 % more than on the Inbound+ 2 B LS. The Bosch motor, hidden in the rear hub, leaves the chainset area uncluttered. Alpha Smooth aluminium frame.
| PowerTube 540 Wh (B 540 LS) | PowerTube 360 Wh (B LS) | PowerTube 600 Wh (R10 LS) | |
| Capacity | 540 Wh | 360 Wh | 600 Wh |
| Paired drivetrain | Belt, 1-speed | Belt, 1-speed | CUES, 10-speed |
| Lowstep version | 21.40 kg (M) | 20.50 kg (M) | 22.40 kg (M) |
| What it means | Maintenance-free, less frequent charging | Light, short journeys | For hills and touring |
In short: at 21.40 kg in M, the Inbound+ 2 B 540 LS adds 180 Wh to the belt-drive Lowstep for 900 g more. It stays lighter than the R10 LS, but keeps a single speed: it's made for flat or gently rolling routes.
Along the canal, the silence of the belt is a real pleasure: you hear the water and the birds, not the mechanics. The low frame lets you get off and on at every photo stop without thinking about it. The Bosch assistance supports you up to 25 km/h, a pace that's more than enough for a leisurely ride.
The 50 mm E6 Hard-Case Lite tyres roll comfortably on the towpath and its hard-packed sections. The Kovee Tubeless Ready rims allow a tubeless setup, which we carry out in the workshop. The Pletscher Comp Flex 40 kickstand holds the bike during breaks.
| 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 B 540 LS | Bosch hub 45 Nm / 540 Wh | Gates belt, 1-speed | Lowstep | 21.40 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 | Bosch hub 45 Nm / 540 Wh | Gates belt, 1-speed | Straight | 21.60 kg (L) |
Our take: for long, leisurely rides on the flat, the B 540 LS offers 540 Wh for 21.40 kg in M, 1 kg less than the R10 LS. If you only need short rides, the B LS (20.50 kg) is enough.
