For anyone who uses their bike during the week for work and at the weekend for leisure rides, along the Canal du Midi to the Fonseranes locks or further on towards Colombiers. Size M, for riders from 165 to 175 cm.
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.
The 800 Wh battery gives you real headroom: you can cover a week of commuting or a long ride without worrying about charging. It slides out of the down tube to be charged at home. Rather than a range figure that varies enormously with wind and terrain, we prefer to look at your routes with you.
On towpaths, the 60 mm SR Suntour NVX30 fork and the suspension seatpost filter out small bumps, while the 2.40-inch tyres cushion gravel and roots. The Bosch motor stops assisting at 25 km/h, as the regulations require; the belt, meanwhile, stays quiet and clean throughout the ride.
| 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: the same Trek weight as the 545 Wh version (25.60 kg in M) for 255 Wh more: if you mix commuting and leisure rides, this choice saves you thinking about the plug. To step up in comfort and move to continuously variable gearing, the District+ 5 Lowstep weighs 26.70 kg in M.

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.

| Can I ride on the towpath? | Yes, the fork, suspension seatpost and wide tyres are suited to compacted paths. |
| How should I store the battery over winter? | Somewhere dry, at room temperature, neither full nor empty, with a top-up charge from time to time. |
| Can the belt cope with dust? | Yes, it doesn't hold dust the way a greased chain does; a rinse with water is enough. |
| Can I track my ride on a smartphone? | Yes, the Bosch smart system pairs with your phone via the dedicated app. |
|
The LVR Cycles verdict The District+ 4 Lowstep for those who ride a lot, with 800 Wh that covers the working week and weekend rides alike. The satin black suits every use.
