Trek Verve+ 4: Everything You Need to Know

Trek’s current US Verve+ family page does not title a Verve+ 4. The 4S Lowstep is $3,499.93, Class 3, 75 Nm, 545Wh. An older 4S page prints 65 Nm and 500Wh. The list’s $2,499–$2,799 band is the 2, not this tag.

The short answer

The list’s Trek Verve+ 4 is not a model on Trek’s current US family page. That page titles a 4S Lowstep at $3,499.93, Class 3, a Bosch Performance Line Sport motor, 75 Nm, up to 62 miles, and 545 watt-hours. An older 4S page prints 65 Nm, 28 mph, a 500 watt-hour tube, and 62 pounds in size M. The list’s $2,499 to $2,799 band is not this tag.

The list’s Trek Verve+ 4 is not a model on Trek’s current U.S. family page. That page titles a 4S Lowstep at $3,499.93, compared with $3,999.99, Class 3, a Bosch Performance Line Sport motor, 75 Nm, up to 62 miles, and 545 watt-hours. It does not print watts for that 4S. An older 4S Lowstep page, Gen 2, prints the same Sport name at 65 Nm, 28 mph, a 500 watt-hour PowerTube, Class 3, and 28.12 kg or 62 pounds in size M, with a 300-pound total limit. Do not average 65 and 75, or 500 and 545. The row links here.

The family page, and the page it replaced

Trek’s current US Verve+ family tiles, an older Gen 2 4S page, and a pre-owned Gen 3 card. Watts are omitted where the tile omits them.

Same Sport name, two generations

Both 4S documents say Performance Line Sport and Class 3. The current tile adds 75 Nm and 545 watt-hours and does not add a watt rating. The older page adds 65 Nm, a 500 watt-hour tube, 28 mph, and a measured size M. Averaging torque to 70 Nm, or the pack to 522 watt-hours, would describe a bike Trek does not sell. A pre-owned Gen 3 card at $3,499.99 sits on the current tag, not on the older tube. The watt-hour page is why 500 and 545 are different tanks even when the motor’s marketing name did not change.

The 3 beside the 4S is a different class. The tile says Class 1, a Performance Line at 250 watts, the same 75 Nm, the same 545 watt-hours, and up to 68 miles, at $2,999.97. Sharing a torque number does not make it the 4S. Class 3 on the 4S, and 28 mph on the older page, is the assist cap. The class chart is why that is not a second motor law. This desk will not invent watts for the current 4S to fill the blank.

The list price is a different rung

The list’s $2,499 to $2,799 does not contain $3,499.93. The 2 Lowstep at $2,699.93 sits inside that old band, and it is not the bike with a 4 in the name. The 1 Lowstep LT at $1,999.99 is the family floor. If a shop still has a Gen 2, read 65 Nm and 500 watt-hours off that bike, not 75 and 545 off the new tile. The upright Bosch commuter people mean when they say the dealer default is this family. The name they have to order, in 2026, is 4S. The Allant+ 7 is the other Trek mid-drive on this list, with its own missing tag.

Questions people ask

Is there a bike called Verve+ 4?+

Not on the US family page this crawl. The names are 1, 2, 3, and 4S. The 4S is the one with a 4 in the title. Do not order a 3 and call it the 4.

Why do two torque figures exist?+

The current tile prints 75 Nm and 545 watt-hours. The older page prints 65 Nm and 500 watt-hours. Same Sport name, two generations. Do not average 65 and 75.

What class is the current one?+

The tile says Class 3. The older page also says Class 3 and prints 28 mph. The 3 beside it is Class 1, a Performance Line at 250 watts, the same 75 Nm, 545 watt-hours, and up to 68 miles.

Does the list price still fit?+

No. The live tag is $3,499.93, not $2,499 to $2,799. The 2 Lowstep on that family page is $2,699.93. That sits in the old band, and it is not the 4S.
