Allant is Trek's more sporty-themed commuter. The bar is lower and further forward.

If you like a closer or higher bar, you should be looking at the Verve line, which are also less expensive, by the way.

Did you use their "What is my Size" tool? They consider both height and inseam. It's in the right column, below the size selection here:

It says if you're shorter than 5'5" tall, you're out of luck.

It's a template website, so the Verve models will have their own.

Your local Trek store will probably also be able to get Reid eBikes, which are a bit different in design and are half the price of most Treks.

Electra cruisers are now owned by Trek as well and are particularly well-suited to shorter riders and those with bigger bellies that get in the way when hunched over. My wife's a shorty, and she has an Electra eBike; loves it, but you have to like that beach cruiser style.
