More info:
The Trek Lift+ electric bikes are designed for comfort, stability, and in the case of the Lowstep model here, accessibility. The 26″ wheel size brings the frame closer to the ground and the sloped top tube offers an approachable 19″ stand over height compared to the high-step model at ~30″ and yet, the frame feels sturdy. I didn’t sense as much frame flex or wobble as some other step-thru models because the battery pack and motor are positioned low and center. There are two sections of tubing vs. a single combined downtube/top tube and the rear section of the frame is reinforced by an extended section of top tube! I’m not sure what the maximum weight capacity is for this e-bike but the reinforced wheelset, smaller diameter wheels, and overbuilt frame suggest 300+ lbs. Whether you’re a larger adult with hip and knee sensitivity who wants an approachable cycling experience or a young person who hasn’t reached their full height yet, the Lift Plus Lowstep offers excellent performance, efficiency, and quality. It utilizes Shimano drivetrain hardware with a 10-speed cassette, Shimano Hydraulic disc brakes with adjustable-reach levers, and the Shimano STePs electric motor/battery/display system.
