Trek Bikes Verve+ 3 ebike Review, 2020

The Trek Verve+ 3 is the newest model in Trek’s lineup of hybrid electric ebikes. The Verve+ 3 is designed for around town riding, recreational city riding or extended commutes. Trek has long been an industry leader in both traditional bikes and ebikes with an extensive lineup of options for all different riders. The Verve+ 3 brings the comfort and components of the Verve+ 2 with a few key upgrades for extended range. Priced just under $3000, this motorized city ebike is patterned after the traditional 10-speed bikes we all grew up riding! It has a streamlined frame that doesn’t look heavy or cumbersome and boasts three different color options. You can get the Verve+ 3 in either a traditional high-step frame or opt for the step-thru frame which is easier to get on and off. The Verve+ 3 has a 250watt Bosch motor and an integrated 500Wh battery; however, Trek has added the option of a second supplemental battery that attaches to the downtube for added range. This dual battery system will take you twice as far without having to stop for a charge. The Purion bike computer keeps track of your ride metrics, speed, distance and battery life. This bike has just enough kick to get you quickly and easily to the local cafe, bakery and library.

Bike Category: Urban Cruiser/ City Commuter

Class 1: Pedal Assist
Speed limited to 20mph with assist
Multiple frame sizes (XS, S, M, L) and two colors (teal, black)
Low step frame in teal or black is easy to mount

Comes with an integrated battery in the downtube. This is an upgrade from the Verve+ 2 which has an external battery that clips onto the downtube.
Optional second battery can be attached to the downtube for double the range.
LCD Display provides good ride info
Properly powered to be street legal in most US and European cities.
Great for around town or city streets
Will work with any shoe
50Nm of torque is on the lower end for an ebike in this price range
250watt motor isn’t super powered and you will have to pedal to get up hills — but the 250watt motor is the legal limit in Europe which makes this bike street legal pretty much anywhere

Spec Review

Specs/Features

Battery One significant upgrade Trek made to the Verve+3 is the integrated Bosch PowerTube 500. This 500Wh battery is larger than the PowerPack 400 found on the Verve+2. This provides a bit more range as is, however, this bike is range boost compatible, so you can also add another battery to extend your range which is very beneficial on a commuter bike.

Trek Verve+3 Bosch PowerTube 500 battery

The integrated battery on the Verve+3 is one of the first things you’ll notice about this bike. You can get between 30 – 75 miles of range depending on your weight, assist level, cargo and terrain. Trek has incorporated what they call the “Removable Internal Battery” (RIB) which features a side-mount system on the right side of the bike so you can unlock it on the left and pull it out on the right via a handle on the top of the battery. Other internal batteries can be very difficult to unlock and remove — and many don’t have a handle — so once you pull the battery out, you have to be careful to handle it without dropping it. The handle and side locking system on the Verve+ 3 is a thoughtful innovation that makes removing the battery substantially easier.

The Bosch PowerTube system has several advantages over the Bosch PowerPack 400 used on the Verve+2:

This internal battery allows the weight to be positioned lower while maintaining the step-thru frame design. On the Verve+2 step-thru, the battery makes it harder to get your leg up and over the bike without kicking the battery pack.
The battery is hidden — for a stealthy ebike look
The battery cover is matched to the paint for a streamlined design
There is room on the frame tubing for an additional battery or bosses for a bottle cage, frame bag, pump, etc.
The battery is protected since it is internal which reduces the chance of your battery being damaged or disconnecting from the frame in a fall.
Can be charged right on the bike without being removed; can also be removed without tools while on the trail.
All Bosch battery packs are UL Certified for safety and backed by a large, well-established corporation.
Has a handle on the top and inserts on the side rather than top of the downtube for convenience.

A few drawbacks to the internal battery:

Not quite as interchangeable as an external battery that can be easily replaced or swapped out
The paint-matched battery is harder to replace or repair if damaged since it needs to be matched to the color and design of the frame

A few facts about this display:

This display is not removable, so you can’t take it off the bike. It is subject to the elements should you leave your bike out (in the rain, sun, etc.).
The display fits seamlessly into the handlebar system — it is not overly obtrusive or obvious for those who like to maintain a low-profile ebike presence.
Despite being relatively compact, the grayscale LCD is easy to read with large numbers and letters, it can be seen in various light conditions.
This is a great display for those who want basic readouts without a lot of extra menus and metrics.
One of the sub menus for the Purion is range estimate which you can reach by holding the – key once it is turned on, this provides dynamic feedback about how far the ebike system can go based on the last mile of riding and current battery capacity
Since this is a smaller display it may be difficult for those who have limited vision
It doesn’t have extended menus and a full screen readout for various metrics and stats. You have to toggle through several screens to find what you are looking for. Not as extensive as comparable display computers.
5-bar readout isn’t as precise as a 10-bar readout or even battery percentage.

Brakes Trek has outfitted the Verve+3 with Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes. These provide good stopping power. The brake levers are easy to reach and responsive, so riders of all abilities will feel safe on the Verve+3.

Fenders Fenders are often an optional upgrade on e-bikes, but Trek includes them standard on Verve+3. These are plastic fenders which reduce bike weight and also won’t rust or corrode. The elongated rear fender runs down underneath the rear rack to protect both the rider and any cargo from mud splatter. Occasionally plastic fenders can crack or rattle, so we recommend keeping the fender stay in position and replacing fenders when they get cracked or worn.

Fork The Verve+ 3 has an alloy rigid fork. This doesn’t absorb as much shock as would a steel fork or suspension system, but you don’t really need it on the Verve+ 3. This bike is designed for street use with narrower tires and an upright design. We don’t recommend off-road or rough terrain for the Verve+ 3. However, Trek has outfitted this bike with a suspension seat post which provides a lot of rider comfort from bumps and dips in the road.

Frame The Verve+ 3 has an alpha gold aluminum frame with the removable integrated battery system. The frame comes in two styles: low step and high step, and two color options. You can get it in teal or black in the low step frame and it only comes in black for the high step model.

We love that Trek has really dialed in the sizing options on the Verve+ 3. With sizes that range from small to medium and large. Size breakdown is as follows:

Small: 5’1” – 5’5”
Medium: 5’5” – 5’8”
Large: 5’8” – 6’1”

The medium frame weighs about 55 pounds and all frames will support up to 300 pounds of rider and cargo weight.

Grips and Saddle The Verve+ 3 has ergonomic handles that provide a comfortable hand hold. Ergonomic grips are designed to reduce hand fatigue on longer rides. These are Bontrager locking grips in black on both frame colors. The saddle is a Bontrager Boulevard that provides just a touch of added width for comfort. The suspension seat post helps increase rider comfort with 31mm of suspension.

Pedals These are flat, Bontrager Satellite City pedals with non slip rubber cleats along the perimeter of the pedal to hold your shoe from slipping. You can wear any athletic shoe with these pedals.

Kickstand The kickstand is adjustable and rear-mounted to avoid pedal lock. The alloy kickstand is strong but lightweight. Kickstands are a must on a city commuter bike. You can keep your bike upright while you run inside a market or cafe even if there’s not a bike rack to hold it up.

Rear Rack The Verve+ 3 includes a standard rear rack that hovers over the rear wheel for a bit of extra cargo. This isn’t the largest rack and it isn’t a solid surface, so you could attach some bags here but attachments may be limited. Make sure you don’t have a backpack or duffel bag with straps that could hang down and rub against the tire. It is nice to have the extra option though, especially on an urban commuter bike.

Tires The Verve+ 3 uses Bontrager E6 Hard-Case tires that are 700x50c (29” high). These are designed for street riding with a narrower profile and just a touch of tread. They do have reflective sidewall stripes which help ebikers be more easily seen in traffic. The 29” wheel will feel a bit large to some riders at first, but this raises your attack angle and makes it easier to roll over road debris and other surfaces. The low-step frame helps the bike not feel like it’s too high due to the raised wheelbase, so even for smaller riders the wheels feel well-proportioned. These tires are puncture resistant and should handle most road surfaces just fine without unnecessary flats. We always recommend keeping a few spare tubes on hand for quick tube changes when needed.

Summary Review / Where to Buy

Trek has introduced the Verve+ 3 — which is the upgraded version of their popular Verve+ 2 model — with some impressive features that extend power and range. The Verve+ 3 battery is tucked into frame so it isn’t in your way when getting on and off the bike. The battery is easily removable — it locks in and out and doesn’t require tools — and it is color matched to the frame for a seamless design. There are also bosses and a port on the downtube for a second external battery. This dual battery system makes it so riders can go longer and farther without having to stop to charge or replace the battery. The Verve+ 3 will go 25 – 45 miles on a single battery and double that if you upgrade to the dual system. This is a city commuter / urban bike that is well suited for around town riding. It includes front and rear fenders, front and rear integrated lights, a kickstand, reflective stripes on the tires, a comfort-enhancing suspension seat post, and wide tires with a high attack angle for smooth riding.

The Verve+ 3 features an Alpha Gold Aluminum frame, 250 watt Bosch Active Line Plus motor with 50Nm of torque and 9-speed Shimano drivetrain to help you get up hills easier. The hydraulic disc brakes provide good stopping power and the puncture resistant tires are 29” high for increased speed and minimal rolling resistance. The suspension seat post, soft saddle and ergo grips also keep you comfortable while riding.

Trek bikes can be ordered online directly from the manufacturer or you can find Trek ebikes in any number of retailers worldwide. This gives buyers the ability to see, test ride, and size out the perfect bike for them. The Verve+ 3 is currently on pre-order and listed at $2999 for the integrated battery system. Additional batteries for extended range can be purchased from local Trek retailers. Trek has a feature on their website to help buyers find their closest retailer.

This is a safe bike that is a good option for city riders who want extended range, an easily removable integrated battery, and extra safety features for riding in traffic.

The article has a mistake. It says the Verve is a class 2 bike but it is actually a class 1 bike. It is too bad that it doesn’t have a throttle. A throttle would be very helpful in city riding.

Trek Verve+ 3 Lowstep Review

Last updated January 17, 2024

All of our bikes are electric, but all of our writers are human.

CHARGE TIME

Trek Verve+ 3 Lowstep Review: Takeaway

For a relatively low price, the Trek Verse+ 3 Lowstep is a high-quality utility and commuter electric bike that’ll soon have you making excuses not to drive the car. The Trek Verve+ 3 Lowstep is ideal for seniors returning to cycling and those who may lack the will to raise their legs over a crossbar. It comes with an amply powered mid-drive motor and good range.

Ideal for...

Trek verve+ 3 overview.

A great-looking low-step electric bike, the Trek Verve+ 3 Lowstep has all the gear you need to cycle around town with minimal effort. The Bosch Active Plus mid-drive motor offers up to 50 Newton meters of torque, which will see you sail up even the steepest inclines with minimal effort.

Supporting the motor is the 500 Wh in-tube battery that offers up to 40 miles of real-world cycling. If this isn’t enough, you can double the range with the optional clip-on range extender. A 9-speed Shimano Alvio transmission offers great ratios even for tougher climbs, and the Shimano M200 hydraulic braking system with 160mm rotors on the front and rear helps you stop with precision.

Though it lacks a suspension fork, Trek has included a suspension seatpost so your rump doesn’t get tenderized while riding. Rounding the bike off are full fenders, a rack, and lights. Including rider weight, it’ll carry up to 300 lbs, which means you can tote a full load of groceries or everything you need for work.

Reasons to Buy

At this price point, the Verve+ 3 Lowstep is a very competitive e-bike. We like the overall looks and the components that’ll make this a dream to ride. Thanks to the way the motor and battery sit on the Verve+ 3, you’ll get a riding feel very similar to that of a traditional bike. The traditional bike elements on this e-bike are very good for the price, too.

If you’re planning to get very active, then go for the clip-on range extender battery and enjoy up to 80 miles of riding a day. You’ll soon sweat off any lard over a few weeks of doing that!

Things to Consider

Many e-bikes in the U.S. have throttles that can allow for motorcycle-style, sweat-free riding. As with all Trek e-bikes, this lacks a throttle. There are equivalently priced e-bikes like the Pedego City Commuter that have a similar look with a throttle, but many will lack a quality warranty like that offered by Trek.

Specs & Components

The specs above come from the manufacturer and may vary from what you’ve experienced. Notice something that needs correcting? Let us know .

Though it only comes with a 250W motor, the Verve+ 3 still offers a very reasonable 50 Nm of torque. In most city environments, you’ll find that nothing stands in your way on the highest pedal assist setting.

A small limitation is the speed of just 20 mph. There are Class 3 e-bikes out there that’ll get up to 28 mph — if you’re planning long-distance commutes, have a look to see if any better suit your needs.

With a very efficient drivetrain, the 40 miles we cite is about realistic for this electric bike. If you face a particularly hilly route or have to carry a large load, then the range will be impacted.

The bike’s efficiency comes in part from its road tires, 9-speed transmission, and the Bosch Active Plus motor system.

Lacking a suspension fork, this e-bike may make your arms tired. However, you’ll be sat in an upright, city bike position, and the 50c balloon tires will compensate for that. Under the Bontrager Boulevard seat is a suspension fork that’ll prevent you from getting aches in your rear.

This electric bike also comes in four size options that fit riders as short as 4’10” and as tall as 6’1″ — meaning everyone can find their perfect fit.

One of the big selling points of this e-bike is its Bontrager E6 Hard-Case Lite tires. Though not completely puncture-proof, they’ll handle a lot more abuse than many other commercially available tires.

As with all pedal assist-only e-bikes, you’ll likely have to keep your chain oiled and change it out every 1,000 miles or so. The brake pads will also need replacing every 500-1,000 miles.

Trek offers a lifetime warranty on its frames and rigid forks, as well as a two-year warranty on its alloy wheels. Bosch and Shimano offer warranties separate from this.

While not an electric bike to make you drool, it’s certainly no ugly duckling. We offer a high score thanks to the shape of its downtube and overall proportions. Offered in black, muted sea green, and muted blue, the color schemes are nicely refined, too.

We personally research and test every e-bike featured in our reviews and guides to provide accurate, data-driven recommendations. Learn how we review.

Customers’ Reviews Of Trek Verve 3

Praises of trek verve 3, comfort and performance.

58 years old, I chose this bike because I wanted a high-end model. I typically ride 20 miles or less, and I enjoy the comfort and handling of this bike. Although the top end is a little slow, the speed/comfort ratio is good. It’s suitable, in my opinion, for someone who wants a good bike but isn’t a serious biker. The quality is there.

Excellent Bike For Almost Anywhere.

I hadn’t ridden a bicycle since I was 15 years old. It’s been a while since then. Returning to the saddle is made simpler by The Verge. IT is a very comfortable bicycle. fantastic for simply cruising anywhere. But do not fall for the trick. The Verge is capable of taking on challenging trail rides. That bike I used to ride had a 10 speed and could go anywhere. I rekindle that spirit and run the Verge through everything. With the gearing, you can climb hills on any surface. The gearing has significant gaps. You’ll need to develop your shifting skills. When purchasing, adjust the bike’s setup and replace the pedals. I use PD-T8000 XT pedals, SPD Terry Butterfly TI Gel saddle

Complaints Of Trek Verve 3

A great bike, but not so great tires.

I have 260 lbs. and am 60 years old. I received this bike as a reward from my employer for 30 years of service. I primarily use this to ride rail trails. In the last year, I’ve added about 350 miles. During the early 1990s, I owned a Swinn mountain bike. How much of a difference switching to this bike made. My bike is great, and I highly suggest it. But after riding the bike for so many miles, the tires are extremely worn. They continue to be fine, but it’s unclear for how long. The front spokes needed to be adjusted, but other than that, nothing to complain about.

I don’t ride often, but I do occasionally. 15 to 20 mpd 6 to 7 days per week. The seat’s proximity to the handlebars caught my attention right away because I have a particularly long torso (imagine wearing one of those big, tall shirts). like how it’s uncomfortable to stand up and pedal quickly. Also very peculiar is the gearing. 2/3 is awkward but 2/2 is pedaling as fast as your legs can go up hills. Although undoubtedly not a Cannondale, I had higher expectations for such a cheap bike. My hybrid Cannondale-owning riding partners breeze past me with ease. Although the tires are 700/45, the resistance difference shouldn’t have much of an effect. I don’t know why they’re cheap bearings. I was able to regain some of the stretch from the seatpost to the HB post by fully lowering my handlebars.

Pros Of Trek Verve 3

Although there are only two color options available for the Verve+ 3 (Matte Black or Teal), there is still a fantastic range of five different size options and two different frame types . Extra-small, small, medium, and large sizes are available if you choose the step-thru frame (also known as the “Lowstep” frame by Trek). You have the choice between medium, large, and extra-large for the high-step frame. You can get professionally fitted for the best ride experience with ease thanks to the wide selection and the many dealers. You can see why many riders have a lot of faith in the Trek brand by combining this with the outstanding warranty that includes two years of comprehensive coverage and lifetime coverage for the frame and fork.
Thanks to the wide range of sizes and frames, as well as the quill stem’s adjustability, it’s simple to dial in comfort whether you prefer an upright or a forward-leaning seating position . The highest seating position is offered by step-thru frames, which also make mounting and dismounting simple. In contrast, the high-step frame is better suited for a more aggressive, forward seating position and offers greater stability at high speeds. The Boulevard saddle is fairly wide with a full cutout for maximum comfort, the Satellite Elite ergonomic grips are grippy and locking so they don’t rotate, and the contact points from Bontrager are well designed.
Trek also manufactures the suspension Seatpost , which has a 40mm range of motion as opposed to the 30mm of many rival products. It is slightly more durable due to its 31.6mm diameter, and when fully removed, you can adjust the suspension pre-load using an Allen wrench, which is useful for fine-tuning the performance for your size.
Along with being very adjustable, the quill stem is Blendr compatible . Blendr is a mounting system that makes it simple to attach a variety of accessories, such as phone mounts, cycle computers, and additional lights, to the top of the stem. To see every piece of Trek gear that is compatible with Blendr, refer to the resources section at the end of this evaluation.
The Verve+ 3 is a great option for commuting to work and running errands because it is feature-complete and fully equipped for commuting with high-quality accessories.
The rear rack has been given a nice upgrade by becoming MIK-ready, but it still supports the same standard weight limit of 25 kg/50 lb. By simply clicking them into place and removing them with a small key tool, the MIK platform makes it simple to quickly attach and detach luggage containers such as baskets or pannier bags. In addition, if you already have a bag or other carrier that you like, you can add on a MIK adapter plate to make it compatible with this rack. This eliminates the time and frustration of having to unfasten and/or untie the more common luggage containers.
The full-length plastic fenders are well-mounted, resilient, and strong . I appreciate that the front fender has a toe-strike guard, which offers some additional coverage and lessens any impacts from your foot if you bonk it while turning. Plastic fenders can be prone to rattling loudly, especially on bumpy roads, but I didn’t notice any while test riding. When riding at night, visibility is further improved by the 120 lumens of the front light and the excellent side cutouts. The rear light, which has three LEDs, is also very visible.
The Bontrager E6 tires are 5c wider than the H5 tires on the Verve+ 2 at 700x50c . This additional width results in a more comfortable ride because there is more air volume, and you also get Hard-Case Lite puncture protection for greater peace of mind while commuting. These tires are a great safety feature and a welcome improvement over the all-black tires of the previous generation because they have bright sidewall striping for excellent side visibility.
In addition to making chain maintenance much simpler by preventing the need to mount the bike on a stand or turn it upside down, the kickstand is rear-mounted so that it won’t get entangled with the cranks when moving the bike backward.
The Verve+ 2’s standard Active Line MY19 motor has been replaced with the Bosch Active Line Plus MY20 motor. With higher peak wattage, more torque, higher maximum assist, and higher maximum cadence, this motor offers a slight increase in power and performance . Though they are still quite similar and the majority of riders will be fine on either model, you can tell the difference if you test the two motors side by side. It is best suited for more active riders who enjoy cycling and getting some exercise and only need an electric motor occasionally to assist and balance out some steep inclines on their commute. This motor is incredibly sensitive and is based on torque.
Shimano’s Alivio groupset has a wide range of 11-36 teeth on the nine-speed cassette that is more than adequate for all types of city riding, and it performs flawlessly as usual . The Alivio trigger shifters are quite satisfying to use, and the up-shifting paddle is a two-way, making it easier to shift while keeping your fingers on or close to the brakes.
Shimano’s MT200 hydraulic disc brakes are back and still perform admirably, offering quiet and smooth stopping power and simple operation in comparison to mechanical disc brakes. In addition, hydraulic brakes don’t need to be tightened, which means they need less maintenance overall than mechanical brakes.
In comparison to the Bosch PowerPack 400, which was mounted on top of the downtube on the Verve+ 2, the Bosch PowerTube 500 has an additional 100 watt-hours of capacity and now seamlessly integrates into the towntube. The bike appears more “stealthy” thanks to the clean integration, which also makes it look much nicer and keeps the battery better protected. This can lower the risk of theft. The battery has a flip-up handle for convenient carrying when removed and can be charged on or off the bike.
The key used to remove the battery is made by ABUS and is keyed alike ready, allowing you to order locks and other accessories from ABUS that will function with your keys. You can order new keys with your key identification card if you lose both of yours, so keep it someplace safe.
Additionally compatible with Range-boost is the battery setup! The PowerPack 500 battery can be mounted using the three bottle cage bosses on the top of the downtube, which is a feature provided by Bosch and effectively doubles your maximum range. This is much more convenient than simply purchasing a separate battery that needs to be carried around and changed out because it enables you to charge both batteries simultaneously while mounted on the bike.
The ride feel and responsiveness are excellent. The Verve+ 3 is incredibly smooth and satisfying to ride even with the motor turned off because Trek has been manufacturing acoustic bicycles for a very long time, and it really shows in the level of craftsmanship and perfect tuning of the bike. When the motor is turned on, the electrical system by Bosch exhibits a similar level of expertise, responding instantly to changes in pedal pressure and reading torque, cadence, and rear wheel speed at a rate of more than 1,000 readings per second!
The Purion display is the smallest Bosch offers, and thanks to the excellent contrast ratio of the grayscale LCD display, it is unobtrusive and out of the way while still providing clear and easy-to-read information. I like this display because it provides the essential information and is easy to use, allowing me to concentrate on riding without having to fuss with settings.

Cons Of Trek Verve 3

For many riders, the lack of front suspension won’t be an issue, but if you reside in a region with unpaved roads and numerous potholes, you might not enjoy riding there with this setup. Although you would lose the high adjustability of the Blendr quill stem, riders with sensitive hands and/or wrists may also find the ride to be too rough. You could switch out the stem for a suspension stem.
If you prefer to have more statistics , programmable settings, and perhaps a USB port for charging small electronics while riding, the Bosch Purion display may leave you wanting more. The Purion is also not detachable, making it susceptible to weather damage or bumps from the bike rack. Nevertheless, it is quite durable and ought to be able to withstand anything barring a severe direct impact. Your Trek dealer can upgrade your display to one with more features if you’d prefer it, but be prepared to spend at least $200 for one like the Kiox, Nyon, or Smartphone Hub since Bosch displays are interchangeable.
On Bosch displays, you can normally use Walk Mode and turn off the lights, but these features are not available on Trek ebikes . The dedicated WALK button on the display’s bottom has no function when pressed, and the lights are always on while it is powered on. Since the goal of this configuration is to maximize safety, I believe Trek dealers can change both settings upon request.
This torque-sensing system is very responsive , as previously mentioned, making it a great option for riders who are more active. This ebike might not be the best option for you if you have delicate knees or anything else that makes it difficult for you to apply a lot of force to the pedals. In contrast, cadence-sensing systems only need you to gently turn the cranks back and forth.
The fact that there were three bottle cage bosses on the downtube at first made me happy because they are usually great for securely mounting a variety of accessories. On the Verve+ 3, however, mounting any accessories that wrap around the downtube will prevent you from removing the PowerTube battery from the frame without first removing your accessories, which would be inconvenient and time-consuming. However, unless you keep the bike inside at all times, it’s generally not a good idea to leave the battery in the frame while it’s mounted on the bike for charging. Batteries are the most expensive part of an ebike and don’t perform well when exposed to high temperatures for extended periods of time. When mounted, they also increase the risk of theft. If you choose the RangeBoost upgrade, these mounting bosses really come into their own because they’re used to hold the mounting parts for the extra battery in place.
Although the charge port is very low and close to the cranks on the left side, you can still charge the battery while it is safely inside the downtube. This is a dangerous position because if the bike is moved or knocked over while charging, the cranks and charging cord could become tangled. Position the bike far enough away from traffic to reduce this risk. See more about Trek Verve 2 Review.

Observations Of Trek Verve 3

Along with Giant and Specialized, Trek is regarded as one of the “Big Three” bicycle manufacturers in the world. They have hundreds of dealers just in the United States, which gives them a convincing advantage in terms of support, as well as color and size options—even though you pay a premium price! Trek started out only producing hand-brazed steel frames in 1975, but they have come a long way since then.
Given the $500 USD price increase, the Trek Verve+ 3 is no longer the least expensive electric bike in the company’s lineup. Although technically it would be their most affordable electric bike, Trek is still selling the Verve+ 2 and the original Verve+ (both for $2,499 USD). It’s important to note that Trek does have a selection of more affordable ebikes available under the Electra name, which Trek purchased in 2014.
When the standard chainring was swapped out for one with narrow-wide teeth, the chain derailment problem that existed in some Verve+ 2 units was resolved. The Verve+ 3 comes standard with a narrow-wide chainring, so there shouldn’t be any derailling issues. Despite being made at no cost to owners, this replacement was still inconvenient to deal with.
Compared to the “Hard-Case Ultimate” that was included with the Verve+ 3’s predecessor generation, the puncture protection is described as “Hard-Case Lite.” Although it might seem like a downgrade, the Hard-Case Lite still seems to perform admirably while being lighter, based on what I’ve been able to find.

Another feature we love about the Verve+ 3 is the Range Boost system. Since the main battery locks in and out from the right side, this leaves the top of the tube open for another battery to be attached to double your range

Trek Verve+ e-bike review: Is it for you?

The Trek Verve+ is an e-bicycle that was built with the idea of giving the rider the most enjoyable and convenient commute.

A solid aluminum frame offers great convenience as you can ride fast enough to reduce commute time significantly.

On the cost side, I believe it is an affordable electric bike , even though it has superior components.

For this reason, most users love it because it still comes with many features that make it excellent value for money.

However, would you think the same?

The above question helped the brand to work on many improvements. As a result, they recently launched a new model with the Trek Verve+ 2. Read our review to see what changes were made .

– Excellent frame design comes in three (3) color options.

– Comfortable thanks to its ergonomic saddle.

– It has good maneuverability as the handlebar curves towards the rider’s body.

– Lights are always on for the rider’s safety, including daytime.

– Available in a variety of sizes, from 15 to 17″ frame , therefore for 154 cm to 187 cm people tall.

THINGS THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED

– It has no front suspension.

– The headlight is mounted on the frame (steering tube), and thus it only illuminates straight ahead.

– The control display is a bit too small, so it may be hard to read some of its metrics.

– The battery may drain faster with the lights on all the time.

– Despite having an aluminum frame, it is still considered heavy at 23 kg .

Pedal Assist System

This electric bike is classed among Pedelecs, as its power assist is limited to 15 mph (25 km/h) . This is where the motor stops providing power, therefore, it is within the electric bike legislation for all countries. Of course, this doesn’t limit you from riding faster, especially if you’re going downhill.

I was very satisfied with their assistance efficiency of the motor when using PAS 1. I was not expecting less, of course, because Bosch has always pride in their motor efficiency and torque power. In addition, it felt like a smooth push after having the first tyre spin when the motor was activated. There was not much of a difference when using PAS 5, but considering its speed limitation, I don’t think you need such a massive difference between pedal levels.

Bosch 250W Mid-Drive Motor

One of the significant features of the Verve + is its power system, which is fitted with a 250W mid-drive motor built by Bosch.

Trek Verve+ Bosch mid-motor and shifting system

Mid-drive motors have a significant advantage, as they provide a good balance and usually tremendous torque to go uphill.

A lthough the Bosch Active Line motor is smaller than the average, it still performs efficiently.

I have to say that the motor may not be the latest built by the brand, so it will be heavier than newer versions.

Despite the above, its efficiency provides very smooth rides and sufficient support with a torque of 40 Nm . I’m surprised that this motor is sitting on the lower range for torque performance however, it was good enough when ride riding on flat terrain.

Unfortunately, this torque rating is not gonna be the best when climbing hills, so if this is the case, then the Trek Super Commuter +9 would be a better fit for you.

Bosch Li-Ion Battery

Another vital part of the power system is the Bosch lithium-ion battery. Lithium-ion batteries are superior because they have a long lifespan, with 1000+ cycles before they need replacement.

Read More: eBike Batteries – The Beginner’s Guide

The 300Wh battery found in this Trek model is not the highest one on the market either, but it is decent enough to last for a few years.

A thing to consider here is the battery not being waterproof . This could be potentially an issue if you live in a region where there is constant rain.

On the design side, it sits on the down tube, which doesn’t make it look like the most beautiful model, but it has a lot of conveniences to detach it from the frame.

But not everything is bad about this battery; it actually charges between three and four hours from fully empty. That is actually convenient if you don’t have enough time but need enough power for your next ride.

Remember that the headlights were configured to be on constantly, so ensure the battery has enough energy for the entire trip. Lastly, it can provide a range between 70 and 80 km if you use PAS 1.

The Controller System

Bosch has also reliable controllers to operate electric bikes. In this case, the Verve+ is controlled by the Purion version, which is a minimal device providing basic metrics. Although it comes from a good manufacturer, I believe the controller is a little bit smaller than I would like making it hard to read some of the parameters .

Even though that is my personal opinion, it shows an essential metric, and that is the battery range.

The brakes and drivetrain

The Trek Verve+ is fitted with quality Shimano hydraulic disc brakes. Even though the rotors are 160 mm, this is more than enough power for a bike that is not going to travel too fast, and it is in the mid-range weight. Though this is the case I was expecting a little bit better from the brand.

The Trek Verve+ lighting system

A great feature of the Verve plus is the lighting system designed to guarantee safety during the day and night.

This bike was configured so that the light would switch on automatically. From what we know, it happens when the motor is engaged. In addition, the lights were designed to stay on continuously when you are riding. The difference between them is that the front headlight constantly illuminates, whereas the rear light flashes.

Trek designed the lights to be on throughout, including in the daytime, for the rider’s safety.

Design and Comfort

For the liking of many potential buyers, Trek customized the frame suitable for men and women. When compared to other commuter electric bikes like the Vyron Cumulus Pro , I think it is much more appealing and statically pleasing.

The Bontrager commuter tires

As a commuter e-bike, the tires needed to provide good grip and great rolling features. For this reason, the manufacturer decided to use the quality of Bontrager tires. In this case, 27″ by 2.1″ tires were used.

Looking at the inside elements, a puncture protective layer helps to reduce the occurrence of flat tires during cycling, however, this one fully prevents this issue.

The only thing that I would’ve loved from Trek was having a slightly stronger rear rim as it looked a little bit thin, which makes it looks a bit weak.

Read More: Electric Bike Tires Buying Guide .

Suspension and comfy seat

Your comfort is guaranteed by the wide leather saddle of the Verve+.

Further, this electric bicycle has a suspension seat post and adjustable stem that allows you to alter its height to a more comfortable level.

This is an awesome feature because not many e-bikes offer these.

Available sizes

Trek has ensured that most of the riders can find the right size. Having said that, these are the measurements:

Should you Buy this Trek eBike?

Electric bikes make riding not only convenient but also so much fun. This model can work perfectly for you if you are looking for a durable, smooth-running, and efficient machine.

What I like most about it is the inclusion of the suspension in the seat post. I don’t think it is the best quality, but there is something there, at least.

On the upside, the motor, the battery, and the controller were built by reliable manufacturers.

Although it comes with almost all the gadgets, you might have to make a few additions, such as getting a rear rack to carry stuff.

All in all, I think the Trek Verve+ is an excellent investment for people looking for a sturdy and reliable low-step electric commuter bike.

I have a Trek Verve + which I love, but I don’t love that the headlight is always on. Is there a way to turn it off in the daytime?

Hi Sue, thanks for your question.

Unfortunately, the Trek Verve+ front and rear lights were configured to stay on once you start using the ebike. Having said that, it is not possible to turn it off (unless you run out of battery). I know could be a bummer but Trek also sees this feature as a safety measurement. Regards, Matt.

We are seniors and find the access to charging port extremely difficult. You have to lean down, or lie on floor, to hold flap with one hand and insert a plug which is difficult to see/orient for insertion.

I am an engineer and could have designed far better ergonomics for charging. Shame…I thought e-bikes of this power/range would be ideal for older people… in this one thing you failed.

Hi Jim, thanks for sharing your opinion with the community. Surely, it will be notice by Trek.

You can always detach the battery for easy charging point access.

Regards, Mat.

Just remove the battery and you can charge it any place you like. It doesn’t have to be charged while on the Trek. I charge mine on a counter top. I’m 70.

My husband decided to buy a Trek Super Commuter 8 for work. He encouraged me to look at the Verve+, saying if I had an e-bike we’d be able to do long rides together on trails and all over our hilly town. Reading reviews from people in my age group is what convinced me that this is exactly when I need to enjoy riding more and no longer dread falling way behind. Well, was thrilled and amazed when we made a trip to Boise, Idaho, and brought our bikes to ride on the Greenbelt! We rode longer and further than ever! All the slight uphill sections on trails that you encounter in an underpass no longer slowed me down! Riding into the wind is no longer a problem. And I am excited to do local rides on our trails here in Moscow, Idaho, which I have avoided because of hills or riding into the wind. I still ride my commuter bike to exercise classes three mornings a week because it’s a flat and short ride, plus I love my other bike (my retirement gift). Now I have two wonderful step-through bikes that I alternate between, depending on my destination, and I plan to ride for many, many years!

An e-bike is indeed a great alternative if you are encountering some difficulties while riding on standard bikes. I have an e-bike and a standard one, which I alternate depending on where I need to go.

Thanks for sharing your experience with other bike and e-bike lovers. Regards, Mat

Hello can you tell me the cost of the Trek Verve e bike please.

Hi Lorraine, thanks for contacting us. We are not a direct distributor of electric bikes. Our suggestion would be to check your nearest e-bike store where the Trek Verve is available and compare that price with what Trek ( https://www.trekbikes.com/au/en_AU/bikes/hybrid-bikes/electric-hybrid-bikes/verve/f/F436/ ) can potentially offer online. The good thing is that you just need to click on Shops (top right corner of Trek’s website) and they will identify your location to advice on stores near you.

Regards. Tim.

If I attach a dog cart – will it impact the long term effect on the motor? I weigh about 120 lbs. Two dogs combined weight about 50 lbs

Hi there, thanks for your question.

The Trek Verve+ 250W Bosch active line mid-motor is powerful enough to carry up to 300 lb (136 kg total weight). Based on the details you provided, the motor should be able to carry the full weight (I’m also including an average dog cart weight of 28 lbs). Now, the more weight you have to carry with your e bike, the more effort the motor has to do, which translates into a long term torque reduction and motor wear. In addition, the motor will have to use more power out of the battery, which will reduce the lifetime of the battery in the long term.

Hope I answered your question. EBA.

Is Trek Verve 3 Worth It? – Pros, Cons and Verdict

Written by Gary Johnson / Fact checked by Henry Speciale

Thinking of buying a Trek Verve 3? Well, before you do, it’s a good idea to research thoroughly.

So, is Trek Verve 3 worth it? The straightforward answer is yes! This hybrid bike provides comfort and is equipped with high-quality features. Plus, with its price point, it’s a good purchase. Now, what makes the Trek Verve 3 worth the splurge anyway?

Let’s talk about it.

This basic table shows its bicycle components, specs, and everything you need about the Trek Verve 3.

Table of Contents

1. Performance and Design

2. components and specifications, 4. pros and cons, is trek verve 3 a good bike, notable features of trek verve 3.

Durable frame – The frame of the Trek Verve 3 is made out of alpha gold aluminum, ensuring its users a durable frame while also prioritizing versatility and comfortability.
Upright geometry – Posture is another important aspect of biking. With the Trek Verve 3, bikers are encouraged to the proper biking position. The upright geometry of the bike makes its users sit in a protective position to prevent muscle strains.
Curved taper – Furthermore, a distinct attribute of its design is the curved angle of the tapers right near the seat post. Since it prioritizes its users’ comfortability above anything, the curved angle tapers prevent users from straddling too much, giving them all the riding comfort needed.
Storage space – How about storage space? You have everything you need and more with the Trek Mountain Track 850. Incorporating racks and fender mounts to the bike, it’s easier to bring your stuff to work, school, or wherever. It’s less thinking and more convenience.
Shifting gear – It also does an excellent job in terms of its performance. The shifting gears perform very well with little to no jarring.
Bike speed – Its chain boosts the speed of the bike, too, so you don’t have to worry about speed.

components-and-specifications-of-trek-verve-3

The Trek Verve 3 comes with a wide range of gears appropriate for basic commuting as well as mountain climbing. Specifically, it has about 18 gears to choose from.

Plus, it offers about 27 speeds along with the variation of gears provided.

The Trek Verve 3 features Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes. While they are known as mid-range brakes, they still perform relatively well.

There’s never a need to go full force with the brakes. Just a little pressure on the brake lever already sensors a full stop, ensuring both safety and effortless braking for its users.

Bontrager H5 Hard-Case Ultimate tires are what the Trek Verve 3 provides its users. There are absolutely no doubts about the durability of these tires.

With a width and size of 700x45c, it’s considered wide tires. So, always ensure that it’s packed with lower tire pressure.

Why? The rule of thumb for large tires is to have a lower tire pressure to sustain a proper ratio of tire width to contact patch. This allows the tires to work effectively and to function exactly as they’re designed.

Another advantage is that it is a puncture-resistant tire, so if you’re thinking of longevity, this tire won’t give you many headaches and may last you a long, long while.

The only downside about the Bontrager H5 Hard-Case Ultimate tires is that it isn’t a vacuum tire. Vacuum tires are types of tires that do away with inner tubes. Instead, rely on a vacuum seal to keep the air in place.

What makes a non-vacuum tire a disadvantage? Well, many users prefer a vacuum tire rather than a non-vacuum one. So, a bike with a non-vacuum car is usually considered a part of a bike’s cons.

It’s hard to blame the users for this preference. Vacuum tires are ideal for any bike because they’re less likely to explode, their impact resistance is better, plus they are lighter and more durable.

In terms of price, let’s get straight to the price. How much does a Trek Verve 3 cost? On the Trek website, it retails starting from $950.

Usually, regardless of where you buy, a Trek Verve 3 doesn’t cost anywhere above $1,300. For a hybrid bike with grade-A quality and performance, it’s reasonably priced.

Very durable and puncture-resistant tires.
Comfortable and upright riding
Light and durable aluminum frame
Offers a lot of storage space
Relatively fast for a hybrid bike

Interested to hear from owners of either e-bike. Opinions, recommendations, pros and cons. Any downside to having a class 3 e-bike? Will be doing 90% paved and 10% gravel riding. Thank you.

I own a Trek Verve +3 but mine is a class I. I’ve got around 3300 miles on mine and it’s been problem free. My opinion is it’s more of a paved road or trail bike. I ride mine on gravel on occasion but it’s not great. Mine came with a suspension seat post but the front doesn’t have a suspension. A lot of it depends on the gravel, bike trails made of gravel use smaller gravel and are fine. The roads around my house that are gravel are bigger rocks and much rougher. I ride mostly in tour mode, not the lowest assist level but second lowest, and my range is in the 40 miles range.

I put 2,500 miles on my Verve+3 then swapped to an Allant+7s for the class 3 motor and front suspension. 6,800 miles on the Allant. Similar mix of road surface to yours.

I have over 12,000 km on my Verve +3. It has been virtually problem free, ridden on trails (dirt, grassy) at least as much as pavement. I put both Redshift stem and seatpost on, upgraded the seat, tires with more tread, removed the chain cover. I live in an area that’s not too hilly so the power is fine, although I also changed to a wider ratio cassette. Very happy with the bike.

For trekking and cruising class2 is fine. Class 3 is definitely big plus for commuting and city riding. Having speed on hand to mix with traffic at intersections is useful.

History of Moscow Oblast

The territory of the Moscow region was inhabited more than 20 thousand years ago. In the first millennium AD, this land was inhabited mostly by the Finno-Ugric peoples (Meryane and Meshchera). In the 9th-10th centuries, the Slavs began active development of the region. The population was engaged in hunting, fisheries, agriculture, and cattle breeding.

In the middle of the 12th century, the territory of the present Moscow region became part of the Vladimir-Suzdal principality, the first towns were founded (Volokolamsk in 1135, Moscow in 1147, Zvenigorod in 1152, Dmitrov in 1154). In the first half of the 13th century, the Vladimir-Suzdal principality was conquered by the Mongols.

In the 14th-16th centuries, Moscow principality became the center of unification of Russian lands. The history of the Moscow region is inextricably linked to military events of the Time of Troubles - the siege of the Trinity-Sergius Monastery by the troops of False Dmitry II, the first and second militias.

More historical facts…

In 1708, by decree of Peter the Great, Moskovskaya gubernia (province) was established. It included most of the territory of present Moscow oblast. In 1712, St. Petersburg became the capital of the Russian Empire and the significance of the Moscow region as the country’s economic center began to decrease.

In 1812, the Battle of Borodino took place near Moscow. It was the biggest battle of the Russian-French War of 1812. In the second half of the 19th century, especially after the peasant reform of 1861, the Moscow province experienced economic growth. In 1851, the first railway connected Moscow and St. Petersburg; in 1862 - Nizhny Novgorod.

The population of the Moscow region increased significantly (in 1847 - 1.13 million people, in 1905 - 2.65 million). On the eve of the First World War, Moscow was a city with a population of more than one million people.

In November, 1917, the Soviet power was established in the region. In 1918, the country’s capital was moved from St. Petersburg to Moscow that contributed to economic recovery of the province. In the 1920s-1930s, a lot of churches located near Moscow were closed, a large number of cultural monuments were destroyed. On January 14, 1929, Moscow Oblast was formed.

In 1941-1942, one of the most important battles of the Second World War took place on the territory of the region - the Battle for Moscow. In the postwar years, the growth of economic potential of the region continued; several science cities were founded (Dubna, Troitsk, Pushchino, Chernogolovka).

In the 1990s, the economy of Moscow Oblast experienced a deep crisis. Since the 1990s, due to the motorization of the population and commuting, road traffic situation in the Moscow region significantly deteriorated. Traffic jams have become commonplace.

Moscow Oblast - Features

Moscow Oblast is located in the central part of the East European Plain, in the basin of the rivers of Volga, Oka, Klyazma, Moskva. The region stretches from north to south for 310 km, from west to east - 340 km. It was named after the city of Moscow, which however is not part of the region. Part of the administrative authorities of the region is located in Krasnogorsk.

On the territory of the Moscow region, there are 77 cities and towns, 19 of them have a population of more than 100 thousand people. The largest cities are Balashikha (518,300), Podolsk (309,600), Mytishchi (262,700), Khimky (256,300), Korolyov (225,300), Lubertsy (209,600), Krasnogorsk (174,900), Elektrostal (149,000), Odintsovo (138,900), Kolomna (136,800), Domodedovo (136,100).

The climate is temperate continental. Summers are warm, winters are moderately cold. The average temperature in January is minus 10 degrees Celsius, in July - plus 19 degrees Celsius.

One of the most important features of the local economy is its proximity to Moscow. Some of the cities (Odintsovo, Krasnogorsk, Mytishchi) have become in fact the “sleeping districts” of Moscow. The region is in second place in terms of industrial production among the regions of Russia (after Moscow).

The leading industries are food processing, engineering, chemical, metallurgy, construction. Moscow oblast has one of the largest in Russia scientific and technological complexes. Handicrafts are well developed (Gzhel ceramics, Zhostov trays, Fedoskino lacquered miniatures, toy-making).

Moscow railway hub is the largest in Russia (11 radial directions, 2,700 km of railways, the density of railways is the highest in Russia). There are two large international airports - Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo. Vnukovo airport is used for the flights within the country.

Attractions of Moscow Oblast

Moscow Oblast has more than 6,400 objects of cultural heritage:

famous estate complexes,
ancient towns with architectural monuments (Vereya, Volokolamsk, Dmitrov, Zaraysk, Zvenigorod, Istra, Kolomna, Sergiev Posad, Serpukhov),
churches and monasteries-museums (the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, Joseph-Volokolamsk monastery, Pokrovsky Khotkov monastery, Savvino Storozhevsky monastery, Nikolo Ugresha monastery).

The most famous estate complexes:

Arkhangelskoye - a large museum with a rich collection of Western European and Russian art of the 17th-19th centuries,
Abramtsevo - a literary and artistic center,
Melikhovo - an estate owned by A.P. Chekhov at the end of the 19th century,
Zakharovo and Bolshiye Vyazyomy included in the History and Literature Museum-Reserve of Alexander Pushkin,
House-Museum of the composer P.I. Tchaikovsky in Klin,
Muranovo that belonged to the poet F.I. Tyutchev,
Shakhmatovo - the estate of the poet Alexander Blok.

The architectural ensemble of the Trinity Sergius Lavra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The largest museum of the Moscow region is located in Serpukhov - Serpukhov Historical and Art Museum.

The places of traditional arts and crafts are the basis of the souvenir industry of Russia:

Fedoskino - lacquer miniature painting,
Bogorodskoe - traditional manufacture of wooden toys,
Gzhel - unique tradition of creating ceramics,
Zhostovo - painted metal crafts,
Pavlovsky Posad - fabrics with traditional printed pattern.

Some of these settlements have museums dedicated to traditional crafts (for example, a toy museum in Bogorodskoe), as well as centers of learning arts and crafts.
