Lowstep or step-through e-bikes as they are known are one of the most popular genres of electric bikes. Their popularity lies in the practicality and broad range of appeal to riders of all ages and abilities. Trek have recognised this trend and has always had a good choice of step-through bikes in their range. The latest Trek Allant+ 7 Lowstep Electric Bike offers great specifications for the price. Read my full review below for more information.

A friend of the family recently purchased the new Trek Allant+ 7 and has kindly lent me their bike to test and review. My first impressions were one of an incredibly well-built e-bike, with excellent components and the very latest 4th generation Bosch CX Performance Line motor. The Trek isn’t particularly cheap at just over £3000, but my friend wanted a bike that was going to last her several years, so quality was an important factor in deciding the purchase.

Trek Bikes are one of the most prestigious and well-known global bike brands and they have fully embraced the e-bike revolution by investing millions in R&D over the last few years. They now sell electric bikes that cover every discipline from road bikes, to full-suspension mountain bikes.

The Allant+ 7 is a very high-quality step-through e-bike aimed primarily at commuters and leisure riders. The focus is on practicality, comfort, performance and battery range and I think they’ve succeeded on every level. Read on for more detailed information on the components.

Electric components

When it comes to electric components, having a good motor and battery at the heart of your e-bike is of paramount importance. Trek has wisely chosen the excellent 4th generation Bosch Performance Line CX for the Allant+ 7. This is the best motor Bosch currently offers and is designed to cope with the rigours of mountain biking.

4th Generation Bosch CX Performance Line mid-drive motor

This motor never fails to impress me with its versatility and performance. Ride it in the lowest assist setting and it provides the rider with a useful boost that is seamlessly delivered via a high-tech torque and cadence sensor combined with a sophisticated firmware algorithm that constantly monitors rider input.  This translates to a very natural pedalling feel that makes the rider feel like they have developed very strong legs overnight. In turbo mode, the amount of assistance on offer from the 250w motor is nothing short of remarkable. This is down to the high torque output of 85Nm combined with the motor’s peak power which will (briefly) hit nearly 500w.

What I love about the Bosch and other similar crank-drive motors is the more you put in the more the motor gives. There is a direct correlation between your pedalling effort and the power delivery which makes you, the rider feel like you have bionic legs!

Bosch Purion Display

The Purion display is at the budget end of Bosch’s current line of displays and has been used on many e-bikes over the last few years. There is an emphasis on simplicity and user-friendliness, and the display offers the rider all the important information including speed, battery range, trip computer and assist level.

It doesn’t have the same functionality as Intuvia or the high-tech appearance of the new Kiox, but it’s discreet and gives the rider access to all the important data in an easy-to-read format.

Bosch Powertube 500Wh battery

Range anxiety is a thing of the past with the latest generation of Bosch power tube batteries. Combined with the increased efficiency of the motor it is quite possible to achieve a range of nearly 100 miles if ridden on gently undulating terrain in ‘Eco’ mode. I would say for the average rider, using a combination of all the assist modes a range of around 60-70 miles is realistic. Although there are lots of considerations like rider weight, tyre pressures, wind direction, terrain and outside temperature.

Bosch has a really useful range calculator tool which will give you an approximate battery range based on your motor, bike weight, your weight and the terrain ridden on.

Bike components

As a premium brand, Trek always uses quality Shimano or SRAM components on their e-bikes. The Allant+ 7 uses the latest incarnation of Shimano’s MTB-specific Alivio groupset which is fairly entry-level in the world of mountain biking but is perfectly suitable for a step-through hybrid bike. Stopping power is provided by Shimano hydraulic brakes and all the wheels and finishing kits are excellent quality Bontrager, which is Trek’s in-house component brand.

The Shimano Alivio M3100 Shadow 9-speed rear derailleur is dependable and fully suited to a bike like the Allant+ 7. It offers a good spread of gears with an 11-36 rear cassette and 40t front chainring. I have used Alivio derailleurs on my touring bikes and covered thousands of trouble-free miles. This derailleur will also handle an 11-40 9-speed Sunrace rear cassette if you wanted to lower the gear further. Shifting is crisp and precise and the drivetrain is finished off with an e-bike-specific chain.

The Shimano BR-MT200 hydraulic brakes are more than up to the job of stopping any rider quickly on steep descents. After the initial bedding-in period braking performance improves drastically and the brakes provide decent modulation and assured stopping power. Although the MT-200 is an entry-level hydraulic braking system, it is going to be more than enough for the average hybrid rider.

Wheels and Tyres

Trek have used their quality in-house Bontrager brand of hubs with Alex MD35, tubeless ready rims and has sensibly gone for the 650b (27.5″) wheel size option. The front and rear wheels also use thru-axles for increased rigidity and sealed hub bearings for longevity and low maintenance.  The tyres are excellent high-volume Schwalbe G-One 650 x 57c gravel tyres. The tyres not only help soak up road bumps but enable the rider to tackle a multitude of terrains with confidence. The G-One is designed to be ridden on tarmac, gravel tracks and forest trails.

The SR Suntour Mobie25 front suspension forks are designed specifically with hybrid bikes in mind and they have all the features you would usually expect to see on an MTB fork including preload and rebound adjustment with a lockout feature (to prevent ‘bobbing’ when riding on tarmac). There is a useful 50mm of travel which is perfect for riding poorly surfaced country lanes and light off-road use.

Frame and finishing kit

A lightweight hydroformed alloy frame is finished in a hard-wearing gloss paint finish. The frame geometry is designed primarily with rider comfort in mind, placing the handlebars at more of a shoulder height, meaning the rider is set to bolt upright. There is also an adjustable handlebar stem so the rider can adjust this to suit their needs. The step-through frame design makes the Allant+ 7 perfect for riders who prefer a low standover height or may have difficulty riding a regular frame. There is a traditional-framed Allant+ 7 available as well.

All of the finishing kits are Trek’s Bontrager alloy components, and the accessories included are impressive. There is a Racktime Lightit pannier rack, Pletscher Comp Flex 18 direct-mount kickstand, Hermans MR8 headlight with AXA Blueline tail light and finally full mudguards –  the Trek Allant+ 7 has everything you need to start your e-bike adventures straight away.

Who is the Trek Allant+ 7 Lowstep aimed at?

The Trek Allant+ 7 Lowstep is one of those electric bikes that will have a very broad appeal. You could easily ditch the car and forget the traffic on your daily commute, and with a battery range like this has to offer, you could comfortably do a 40-mile round commute in ‘turbo’ mode and not worry about turning up for work tired and sweating.

If you are looking to improve your fitness and want to explore your local countryside more, the Allant+ is perfect for weekend adventures. I would go as far as to say that you could even use the Trek for a spot of touring. With the potential to cover up to 100 miles on a single charge, you could cover lots of distance and charge up on your overnight stops.

My friend is delighted with her purchase, and having ridden the Trek myself I’m impressed with what it has to offer.  My friend is in her 70s and Cornwall is incredibly hilly (as anyone who has cycled there will tell you), having an e-bike like the Trek is a game-changer and is giving my friend the freedom to explore the beautiful Cornish countryside without having to worry about pushing her bike up the steep hills we have here.

The Bosch Performance Line CX motor is an amazing piece of technology, it’s smooth, quiet, and efficient but most importantly it provides an incredible boost to your pedalling. I’ve tried the Allant+ 7 on hills with an average gradient of 15% (in turbo mode) and it flies up there – you still need to pedal, but the motor makes these hills feel like a gentle slope.

Comfort is a big deciding factor for a lot of people when buying an e-bike and the Trek is very well catered for in this department. The high-volume tyres combined with front suspension and an upright riding position make for a very comfortable, leisurely riding experience.

Equipment is also an important consideration. The Allant+ 7 has everything you could need – rack, mudguards, lights and kickstand. It is a versatile bike and is suitable for riding on unpaved cycleways, country lanes, and byways anywhere you want to take your weekend adventures!

Importantly the Trek looks and feels tough. All the components are of good quality and this translates into a very reasonable weight for an e-bike of this kind. Most low-step electric bikes seem to weigh in the region of around 25kg, but the Trek only weighs 21kg which is a 4kg weight saving. Bosch has also designed this latest motor in such a way that you can pedal it normally with the assist switched off, so even if you do run out of power you can still ride it as a regular bike (albeit a heavy one).

All in all, I’m impressed with the Trek Allant+ 7, it’s not the cheapest e-bike available but it is excellent quality and uses the best motor Bosch currently produces. If your budget stretches to £3000 and you’re looking for a step-through e-bike, the Trek is worth a look.

Trek Allant+ 7 Review and Test

Having tested a variety of Trek's high-quality electric bicycles, the Allant+ 7 continues its tradition of well-designed performance machines at an affordable price point. Pairing a durable aluminum frame with proven Bosch drive components enables confident adventures on pavement or light trails.

Its compact build makes the Allant+ 7 accessible for different riders, with its low step-through design and adjustable sizing from Small to Extra Large. The integrated battery remains stealthily hidden from view, maintaining a clean appearance. The overall weight of 54 lbs remains nimble despite formidable e-bike components underneath.

Powering the Allant+ 7 is a Bosch Performance CX mid-drive motor. Rated at 250W continuous power, this motor provides eager acceleration. Its magnesium motor housing keeps weight low while maintaining strength. Assist scales sensitively based on pedaling input, feeling natural without overwhelming the rider. The top assisted speed is 20 mph, allowing for pavement rides alongside traffic. Bosch's proven motor offers reliable, elegant performance perfectly matched to Trek's renowned frame quality for balanced and enjoyable e-riding.

Powering the Allant+ 7 for extended adventures is a Bosch PowerTube 500 integrated downtube battery. Rated at 500Wh capacity, it packs plenty of energy using 40 lightweight lithium-ion 18650 cells in a 36V configuration. During testing, the 13.4Ah battery provided impressive range. An optional second battery doubles that capability using Bosch's Range Boost feature. Weighing just 6.4 pounds, the unobtrusive PowerTube packs substantial power into its compact hydroformed casing. Riders enjoy countless emissions-free miles per charge.

Frame 

Trek crafts the Allant+ 7's lightweight yet durable frame from high-performance 6061 hydroformed aluminum. Its integral downtube hatch houses the removable PowerTube battery while maintaining a clean appearance. Internal cabling keeps lines tidy. The frame seamlessly integrates Bosch's motor with protective Motor Armour reinforcement. Rack and fender mounts extend cargo options. Up front, an SR Suntour Mobie 25 suspension fork soaks up 45mm of trail bumps through a lockable coil spring and rebound damping adjustable via its tapered steerer. The compatible fork travel reaches a maximum of 63mm for rugged rides off-road.

The Allant+ 7 is powered by a proven Bosch Performance Line CX motor mounted internally in the frame. This mid-drive unit is rated at 250W continuous with 85Nm peak torque and provides natural and responsive pedal assistance. Its top assisted speed of 20 mph on the Class 1 e-bike allows comfortable cruising alongside traffic. Riders enjoy efficient boosted miles on every pedal stroke.

Trek estimates the Allant+ 7's 500Wh integrated PowerTube battery can extend rides up to 50 miles on a single charge. During testing, the long-lasting lithium-ion power pack endured multiple long-distance mixed-terrain journeys without issue. Thanks to the robust on-board energy source, riders enjoy ample freedom to explore further before recharging.

The Allant+ 7 steers nimbly through traffic yet tracks true on uneven surfaces, inspiring riding confidence. Its stable handling nature and widely-spaced wheels encourage exploring distant destinations with ease. Combined with sturdy 2.4-inch tires built for puncture resistance, the Allant+ 7 rolls over pavement cracks, gravel paths, and dirt roads comfortably while damping bumps and brambles effectively.

A Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brake setup provides reliable stopping power. Large 180mm rotors grasped by the dual-piston brake calipers at the front and rear bring the Allant+7 to a rapid, controlled halt from any speed. Whether soaking up speed during descents or coming to a quick stop in traffic, precise modulation is enabled by the brakes' responsiveness. The hydro system requires little to no maintenance and performs dependably even in wet conditions. With maximum rotor sizes of 180mm front and rear, plenty of braking force is available for varied riding situations.

Wheels and Tires

The Allant+ 7 features durable wheels well-suited for on and off-road cycling. The rims are Alex MD35 with 32 tension-supported spokes and tubeless compatibility for low maintenance and puncture protection. Their 35mm width and Presta valve stems endure demanding terrain. Schwalbe G-One folding tires in a versatile 650x57mm (27.5x2.1") size offer dependable cushioning with fast-rolling speed. The max tire clearance of 27.5x2.4" allows fitting larger rubber for heavy loads or serious trail use if desired. These components provide smooth rolling over varied surfaces while holding up to heavy loads and electric pedal assistance.

The Allant+ 7 utilizes a simple yet effective control interface to manage its Bosch-powered system easily.

Information and assistance levels are adjusted via Bosch's proven Purion display unit. Its large 1.75-inch grayscale LCD screen clearly shows current speed, battery level, ride metrics, and assist level in an easy-to-read format. Convenient buttons allow the rider to increase or decrease pedal support or engage the walk mode with intuitive controls. Holding buttons accesses additional functions like lights and readout changes.

Pedal-assist and Throttle

The Allant+ 7 relies solely on pedal assistance without a throttle for the most natural riding feel. Its Bosch system measures the rider's every pedal stroke over 1,000 times per second to instantly adjust power output proportionate to input between the four Eco, Tour, Sport, and Turbo levels.

Shifting through 9-speed gears is handled with a Shimano Alivio M3100 shifter and T4000 rear derailleur combination, providing reliable performance. An alloy narrow-wide chainring from 40-48T sizes paired with an 11-36T HG200 cassette cassette offers a wide range of ratios well-suited to hilly terrain or high-speed pavement. Durable components ensure confident pedaling in any condition.

Trek ships the Allant+ 7 almost completely assembled for a quick and simple startup. After carefully removing the e-bike from its compact shipping carton, riders need only install the wheels by threading the quick-release axles and inflating the tires to the proper pressure. The handlebar and saddle can then be adjusted to the rider's measurements using easy-to-turn screws. Once the battery is fitted into its downtube port and the included 3A wall charger is plugged in for a full charge, the Allant+ 7 is ready for smooth assisted rides. Minimal assembly means more time enjoying electric adventures on two wheels.

Accessories

Several included and optional accessories expand the Allant+ 7's versatility.

The rugged Racktime rear rack is a worthwhile addition to transport personal items and purchases on trips around town or longer tours into the countryside. Constructed of durable aluminum alloy, it boasts a weight capacity of 55 pounds, so runners, panniers, or boxes can be carried confidently. The rack's standard gauge tubing ensures rigidity, whether the path is smooth or bumpy. Its sliding rear mount with integrated bungee loops gives multiple flexible options to safely and securely lash down anything from a backpack and jacket to a weekend's groceries. On long e-bike journeys or daily commute utility runs, this rack proves sturdy yet lightweight for extended loaded carrying convenience.

These full-coverage plastic fenders are an essential accessory for frequent all-weather riding. Mounted securely at the front and rear through threaded dedicated attachment posts, they shield the electric drivetrain components from splashing mud, grit and road spray with ease. Their 65mm width blankets the wheels completely while allowing adequate clearance for tire changes when required. The snap-on installation process takes mere minutes, and they can be swiftly removed for compact transport or storage. Whether braving rains or sliding through puddles, the fenders keep the bike clean and protected, reducing corrosion and maintenance needs for a longer component lifespan.

Mounted through a heavy-duty 18mm connection point directly at the frame's rear for maximum stability, the retractable kickstand is an essential convenience when stopping for breaks or arriving at a destination. Its wide stance can balance the loaded Allant+ 7 impeccably on all terrains, from paved paths to loose gravel. Small yet sturdy springs cushion open and closed movements to avoid stress on the mounting hardware. Riders of all heights trust its steady support, whether parking for a quick coffee shop run or securing the bike upright overnight at camp. The included kickstand adds hassle-free practicality to any adventure on two wheels.

Ensuring safety and peace of mind on evening rides, the 180-lumen Hermans headlight and powerful dual-LED AXA rear light are essential gear. Permanently and securely mounted to the fork crown and rear rack, respectively, through rugged attachment points, these lights integrate flawlessly into the Allant+ 7's structure. From dark trails to dawn commutes, their bright beams and side-facing reflectors cut through the gloom, alerting others to the rider's presence and illuminating the path ahead with clear visibility. Designed for all-weather use, the lights remain impervious to rain or spray, keeping rides stress-free even after sunset or before daybreak when conditions demand extra visibility.

The Allant+ 7 is offered in size Medium or Large/XL to accommodate a wide range of riders. Medium-sized bikes feature a 170mm alloy crank arm length for riders between 5'3" to 5'8", providing optimum ground clearance and full pedal stroke ergonomics. For taller individuals from 5'8" and above, the Large and XL models upgrade to a slightly longer 175mm crank. Beyond the powertrain, the bikes adjust easily with seat posts and handlebars that slide and lock to the preferred set-up. Regardless of size, the Allant+ 7 maintains consistent geometry to ensure confident handling for all riders exploring together on the trail or road.

At its accessible price point, the Trek Allant+ 7 delivers well-rounded e-bike performance. Its capable blend of Bosch components and quality Trek frame construction prove it a solid value. Riders enjoy aided miles from casual joyrides to daily commutes over varied surfaces. And Bosch's renowned durability provides years of dependable service.

The Trek Allant+ 7's balance of features and value makes it a smart purchase for recreational riding or heavy-duty errands. It expands access to enjoyable rides while unlocking versatile adventures.

For commuting or recreational riding on pavement and light trails, the Trek Allant+ 7 delivers capable performance at an attractive price. Its stalwart Bosch-powered system pairs dependably with Trek's renowned frame quality. Riders feel empowered to explore farther with countless miles of on-board range.

While not as burly as high-end e-MTBs, the Allant+ 7 handles varied terrain with balance and poise. Beginners and experienced riders alike will enjoy the empowering adventures it enables.

For versatile daily transportation or recreational riding, the Allant+ 7 earns a strong recommendation. Trek has crafted an accessible, well-designed e-bike for active lifestyles at an affordable value.

Trek Launches Gen 2 Allant+ 7

The flagship electric commuter gets some upgrades.

The biggest single difference between the Gen 1 and Gen 2 versions of the Trek Allant+ 7 and 7S is the price. Where before the Allant+ 7 was priced at $3799, the new version now retails for just below $3000. The Allant+ 7S did cost for $4099, but now goes for just below $3500.

Most of the specs for the Allant+ 7 and 7S remain unchanged. It uses the same hydroformed-aluminum frame that comes in three designs: high-step, low-step and what Trek calls “Stagger,” which features a more radically sloping top tube than we see in the high-step version. Each of the three frame designs are offered in three sizes, giving buyers nine potential choices to find their optimal fit.

The Trek Allant+7 is built with a Bosch Performance Line CX motor, which produces a very solid 85Nm of torque. The Allant+ 7S comes equipped with the Bosch Performance Line Speed motor, which also produces 85Nm of torque, but can propel riders to a pedal-assisted 28 mph. Both versions are powered by the 500Wh Bosch PowerTube battery.

Most of the specs remain unchanged on the two models, though some specific parts have changed. The Allant+ 7 still comes with two-piston hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors, while the faster Allant+ 7S receives four-piston hydraulic discs and 180mm rotors. The lights have changed, but the front light still produces 180 lumen and 60 lux.

The most notable change can be found in the drivetrain. Previously, the Allant+ 7 and 7S came with a 9-speed Shimano Alivio drivetrain 46t chainring and an 11-36t cassette. They now come with a 9-speed Shimano Cues drivetrain with a 48t chainring and an 11-46t cassette. What this does is give the Gen 2 Allant+ 7 and 7S a wider range of gears, including both a higher high gear and notably lower low gear. The switch means that the Allant+ 7 goes from a roughly 330 percent range to a 420 percent range.

There’s an even bigger change hidden within this drivetrain upgrade, because it is an upgrade. The shift from Alivio to Cues means that the Allant+ 7 and 7S now have a drivetrain that was specifically designed for e-bikes. The parts are designed to last longer and respond well to the extra torque exerted by the mid-drive motor.

The Trek Allant+ 7 and 7S now feature Bosch’s Smart System which, thanks to its eFlow app, allows increased control for the rider over the motor’s performance.

We were surprised to see the new editions of the Allant+ 7 and 7S feature price decreases, but this reflects the bike industry’s ongoing post-pandemic turmoil. It’s hard to introduce new models when a company still has stock on the old version. This is good news for consumers, of course. And for those looking for the best possible deals, the existing stock of Trek’s Allant+ has been discounted by hundreds of dollars.
