Growing up in Stamford, Lincolnshire, Lowe's first experience of cycling came through the Fenland Clarion Cycling Club. Later he rode in endurance races regionally and nationally for Bourne Wheelers before switching to track cycling in 2018.

He was selected to the Great Britain Cycling Team (GBCT) apprenticeship scheme at 15 and, two years later, he was enrolled into the junior programme going on to become a team sprint European Junior Champion.

As part of Team Inspired he won a gold medal at the 2023 British Cycling National Track Championships in the team sprint.

Returning to Canada in April 2024, Lowe and his teammates secured Nations Cup silver medals, losing out in the final to the Netherlands.
