    Trek Verve Rental on vacation

    I've put over 2,500 miles on my Verve+ and have been very happy with it. People look for different things in ebikes I guess. I want a bike with a more natural feel and while I understand it has less power than other ebikes, I rarely use all the power it has. If I want to take it easy, putting it...

    I am thinking of buying a Trek Verve + ?

    Your opinion =/= fact. I've ridden my Verve+ 1,200+ miles and very rarely use all of its power. So it's not underpowered for me even if other bikes have more power.

    I am thinking of buying a Trek Verve + ?

    There seem to be a lot of comments that disagree with your "it sucks" take. Maybe having different motors to suit different tastes is a good idea for them.

    I am thinking of buying a Trek Verve + ?

    I just passed 1,200 miles on my Verve+, almost all from a 9-mile round trip commute. I've had it since April. I've been really happy with it as a city bike. I'll try it out on longer recreational rides next summer, but I might get a non-e gravel bike for that. The lower power and lighter...

    Winter e-biking advices

    It's my first winter with an e-bike and I've already comfortably ridden at 5F. The only thing that stops me from riding is piles of new snow or ice. I can easily ride in light snow (just did it today) or after the paths and roads have been cleared. Head: ski helmet with goggles a Merino wool...

    2020 Verve+ 2 As Daily Commuter?

    I've been using a Verve+ as a daily commuter for 6 months. My commute is 9 miles round trip. People will say the bike is under-powered compared to some options and while I know what they mean, I like it the way it is. For me, it's a bike that helps me sometimes rather than a bike that does most...

    Anyone have the 2019 Verve+ ?

    You're welcome. The specs are the same (20 mph, 400wh) on the 2019. The Active Line doesn't have any drag when it's off (the faster Bosch motors have a hint of it according to Court). Even when I'm not using the assist, I have the system powered on so it tracks my speed and miles and turns on...

    Anyone have the 2019 Verve+ ?

    Yes, I've had one for about 5 weeks and 240+ miles. I'm really happy with it, but it depends on what you want. I use it for commuting (9-mile round trip) and getting around town and it works great for that. I like that it's light by e-bike standards so I can ride with no assist or just eco...

    First eBike for around $2K for 12mi roundtrip NYC Commute (Bulls Cross E8 vs IZIP E3 Moda vs Trek Verve vs Aventon Pace 500)

    I test rode a Magnum Metro before I bought the Verve+. If you want power, it's the pick over the Trek. But it is much heavier than the Trek and rides more like a pedal-activated moped. I didn't feel as in control as I do with mine. I don't have any interest in the throttle, which is another...

    First eBike for around $2K for 12mi roundtrip NYC Commute (Bulls Cross E8 vs IZIP E3 Moda vs Trek Verve vs Aventon Pace 500)

    I can't say which option is best, but I bought the Trek Verve+ a couple weeks ago and I really like it. You may pay a slight premium relative to other brands, but part of that is for the dealer support. I suspect the brand would have value in re-sale as well. The Moda is tempting too, but it's a...
