Our take
The Verve+ 3 Lowstep is a comfortable Bosch-powered hybrid with an easy step-through, wide 2.4 in tires and a suspension seatpost. It's Class 1 only, at 20 mph. It weighs about 59 lb and has a 300 lb total limit that includes the bike. At $2,999.99 you're paying for Bosch reliability and Trek dealer support.
