Trek Verve+ 2 Lowstep

Electric Bikes / Class 1 Electric Bikes

Verve+ 2 Lowstep

A solid commuter bike with decent battery range, the Verve+ 2 Lowstep is also easy to ride unassisted on flat ground and hills. It has a comfortable upright riding position, and the electric motor provides good acceleration and e-assisted cruising. The motor struggles to keep up on steeper grades, but it gets the job done. Its mid-drive motor is responsive, and can make full use of the bike’s range of gears—something hub-drive motors cannot do.
