Vilken navbredd har cykeln?

How do you charge the battery?

The battery charges much like a smartphone does. Plug the Bosch standard charger into an electrical socket and connect it to the plug on the side of the down tube, or simply remove the battery and plug it in. All five green LEDs will light up for a short time once the battery is fully charged, then the system will turn off and all LEDs will go dark.

How long does the battery take to charge?

4A charger: 50% in 1.8 hours, 100% in 4.9 hours
2A charger: 50% in 3.8 hours, 100% in 7.7 hours

Är den kompatibel med Range Boost?

Nej.

Can the internal battery be upgraded to a larger size?

Yes, you can upgrade to a larger size but note that a larger battery will require a larger battery cover. Find a complete list of battery cover part numbers in the Verve+ service manual on Trekbikes.com.

Kan batteriet lämnas kvar på cykeln?

Ja.

Is the battery water resistant?

The battery has an IP55 rating, which means it is sealed from low-pressure water splashes at any angle but should not be fully submerged in water.

Can I lock the battery?

Yes, but when storing the bike for extended periods of time we recommend keeping the battery out of extreme heat or cold. Bring the battery inside with you in those conditions.

Hur förvarar jag batteriet på bästa sätt?

Förvara batteriet på en torr plats i rumstemperatur. Fulladdat eller helt urladdat innebär en högre belastning på batteriet. Den idealiska laddningsnivån för en längre tids förvaring är ca 30–60 % eller två till tre LED-lampor på batteriindikatorn.

Finns det extranycklar?

Ja. Det går att beställa extranycklar från låstillverkaren, ABUS. Man behöver dock ange nyckelkoden som står på ett kort som levereras med cykeln. Nyckelkoden finns även sparad i fjärrkontrollen och kan hämtas hos en auktoriserad återförsäljare med Diagnostic Tool 3 eller av cyklisten i appen eBike Flow.

Kan jag cykla på Verve+ 4 utan elassistans?

Ja, det går. Motorn och batteriet sitter centrerat på cykeln så vikten är balanserad som på en cykel utan elassistans. Cykeln blir förstås tyngre på grund av elassistansen, men eftersom vikten är centrerad får du inte samma känsla av svajighet som på en cykel med navmotor eller när batteriet är monterat i pakethållaren.

What is the range?

To calculate an approximate range based on factors such as rider weight or terrain check out Bosch’s handy range calculator.

Will the lights still work if the battery is “dead” and stops providing assist?

Yes – the lights will work long enough to get most riders home!

Can I charge by pedaling?

No. Regenerative motors are more commonly found on hub motors. Trek uses a more efficient Bosch mid-drive motor that is built into the frame. Most regenerative motors give negligible energy back to the battery and sacrifice a lot in efficiency.

How many assist modes does Verve+ have?

Verve+ has four levels of pedal assist: Eco, Tour, Sport and Turbo. Riders can quickly change modes while riding or standing still. Using a lower level of assist saves the battery, while higher levels of assist help riders easily accelerate and climb hills.

Which App is the bike compatible with?

The Bosch eBike Flow App.
