Verve 1 Lowstep is the entry-level model in our comfort-focused Verve family, built to make riding easy and enjoyable. Its lightweight frame makes hopping on and off easy, while an upright riding position keeps you relaxed and in control. An 8-speed drivetrain delivers straightforward shifting, and disc brakes provide reliable stopping power in whatever weather.
An upright riding position keeps you relaxed and takes pressure off your back, shoulders, and hands. A shorter reach and taller front end add comfort and control for a more confident ride.
The suspension seatpost smooths out bumps on the road, helping you feel more stable and comfortable on every ride — whether you’re commuting or getting in a workout.
