In Eco mode on flat terrain, 400Wh typically provides 60–100km of range. In higher assist modes or on hilly terrain, range will be lower — typically 30–60km. Bosch's range assistant tool (available via the eBike Flow app or Bosch website) can estimate range based on your specific route and preferences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the Verve+ 2 and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/trek-verve-3-lowstep-electric-hybrid-bike-comfortable-urban-commuter-with-pedal-assist\"\u003eVerve+ 3 Lowstep\u003c\/a\u003e?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Verve+ 3 Lowstep steps up with a more powerful motor and typically a larger battery option, providing greater range and assistance on hillier terrain. The Verve+ 2 is the more accessible entry point in the range, suited to flatter urban commutes and riders who want a straightforward, reliable e-hybrid without the additional cost of the higher-spec motor and battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the lowstep frame suitable for all riders or just women?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe lowstep frame is a unisex design — the low standover height makes it easier to mount and dismount for any rider, regardless of gender. It is particularly useful for riders with limited flexibility, shorter inseam, or those who frequently stop and start in urban traffic. The bike is tagged as suitable for women but is equally appropriate for any rider who prefers a lowstep frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the battery be removed for charging?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — the 400Wh battery is removable from the frame for convenient charging indoors or at a desk, without needing to bring the whole bike to a power socket. A full charge from empty typically takes 4–5 hours with the standard Bosch charger.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trek","offers":[{"title":"M \/ Trek Black \/ 400WH","offer_id":45456768794799,"sku":"5291634","price":2420.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"M \/ Plasma Grey Pearl \/ 400WH","offer_id":45456768860335,"sku":"5291638","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"M \/ Dark Aquatic \/ 400WH","offer_id":45456768925871,"sku":"5291642","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"L \/ Trek Black \/ 400WH","offer_id":45456768827567,"sku":"5291635","price":2420.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"L \/ Plasma Grey Pearl \/ 400WH","offer_id":45456768893103,"sku":"5291639","price":2420.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"L \/ Dark Aquatic \/ 400WH","offer_id":45456768958639,"sku":"5291643","price":2420.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/2003\/4223\/files\/1716458958-12589200.jpg?v=1768513853","url":"https:\/\/www.swinnertoncycles.co.uk\/products\/trek-verve-2-lowstep-gen-3-2025-bosch-active-line-plus-400wh-lowstep-e-hybrid-bike","provider":"Swinnerton Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
