¿Cuál es la medida del buje?

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

¿Es compatible con Range Boost?

No.

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.

¿Puedo dejar la batería en la bicicleta?

Sí.

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.

¿Cómo se recomienda guardar la batería?

Guarda la batería en un lugar seco y a temperatura ambiente. Si la guardas totalmente cargada o totalmente descargada provocará un mayor estrés en la batería. El estado de carga ideal para largos periodos de almacenamiento es aproximadamente entre el 30% y el 60%, o dos o tres luces LED en el indicador de la batería.

¿Existen copias de las llaves?

Sí. Las llaves de repuesto están disponibles a través del fabricante ABUS. Para hacerlas necesitan el código de la llave que está impreso en una tarjeta que se incluye con la bici. El código de la llave también está grabado en el mando remoto y cualquier distribuidor autorizado puede acceder a él usando la herramienta Diagnostic Tool 3, o incluso el propietario de la bicicleta a través de la aplicación eBike Flow.

¿Puedo salir a montar con la Verve+ sin la asistencia?

Sí. El motor y la batería están integrados en el centro de la bicicleta, por lo que el peso está equilibrado prácticamente igual que en una bicicleta no eléctrica. La bicicleta pesa más debido al sistema de pedaleo asistido, pero al estar centralizado el peso, la bicicleta no se tambalea como si tuviese el motor en el buje o la batería instalada en el portabultos.

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.
