For the town dweller from 165 to 175 cm who rides every day between home, work and the shops in the centre of Béziers, from the Allées Paul Riquet to the covered market. The step-through frame makes frequent stops much easier, especially with a bag on the rack.
The Lowstep frame, for getting on without lifting your leg. Lowstep is Trek's name for its step-through frame: the top tube dips very low, so you step through the bike from the front while stationary, even when loaded or in town clothes. On this District+ 4 Lowstep, the frame gets the same trouble-free mechanics as the straight-top-tube model: five-speed Nexus internal gear hub, Gates CDX belt drive and Shimano MT200 hydraulic brakes.
| Nexus 5 + chain | Nexus 5 + Gates CDX belt | Enviolo + Gates CDX belt | |
| How it works | 5 gears in the hub, conventional chain | 5 gears in the hub, toothed belt | Continuously variable, no steps |
| Maintenance | Chain needs cleaning and lubing | No grease or regular cleaning | No grease, sealed hub |
| Reference bike | District+ 4 Guard / Coaster Lowstep | District+ 4, 4 Lowstep, Coaster Belt | District+ 5 and 5 Lowstep |
| What it means | Simple, common parts | Clean and quiet every day | The finest gear progression |
In other words: this is the lightest District+ in our selection, at 25.60 kg in M, with the easy access of a step-through frame and a belt drive you can forget about. A bike the whole household can use.
In town, you are constantly stopping and starting. The Lowstep frame lets you put a foot down and get back on without contortions, and the Nexus hub lets you change gear when stationary: you pull away from the lights in a low gear, with the Bosch motor doing the rest. The assistance cuts out at 25 km/h, which is more than enough in urban traffic.
The aluminium rear rack takes up to 25 kg according to Trek, and the Pletscher Comp Flex 18 kickstand keeps the bike stable while you load it. The SKS mudguards protect your clothes on rainy days. Shimano MT200 hydraulic brakes with 160 mm rotors: progressive, powerful braking, even on a loaded bike.
| Model | Motor | Battery | Drivetrain | Weight (size) |
| District+ 3 Lowstep | Bosch Active Line Plus, 50 Nm | 545 or 800 Wh | Shimano Nexus 8-speed, chain | 26.20 kg (M) |
| District+ 4 Lowstep | Bosch Performance Line, 75 Nm | 545 or 800 Wh | Nexus 5-speed, Gates CDX belt | 25.60 kg (M) |
| District+ 4 Coaster Belt Lowstep | Bosch Performance Line, 75 Nm | 545 or 800 Wh | Nexus 5 with coaster brake, belt | 26.00 kg (M) |
| District+ 5 Lowstep | Bosch Performance Line, 75 Nm | 545 or 800 Wh | Enviolo Trekking, Gates CDX belt | 26.70 kg (M) |
Our take: at 25.60 kg in M, this is the lightest District+ 4 published by Trek, 400 g below the Coaster and Guard versions. The 800 Wh version adds 255 Wh for longer journeys; for urban use, the 545 Wh more than covers your needs.

LVR sizing advice A step-through frame is a little more forgiving than a straight-top-tube frame between two sizes, as stepping over no longer depends on your inseam. The M (165 to 175 cm) comes with 170 mm cranks and an 85 mm stem; the L (175 to 186 cm), where offered, moves to 175 and 105 mm.
