For the urban rider who rides every day, from the station district to the centre, and wants a removable battery that is easy to charge at the office. With four sizes from 155 to 197 cm, it suits almost every rider, and its step-through frame makes frequent stops simpler.
District+ 3 Lowstep: the step-through frame gets the big battery. Here, the Alpha Smooth aluminium step-through frame houses a removable 545 or 800 Wh battery, with a Motor Armour skid plate protecting the motor. You keep the easy access of the Lowstep models, and gain an 8-speed Nexus hub, 2.40-inch E6 Hard-Case Lite tyres and a rear rack that takes up to 25 kg.
| Nexus 7-speed + chain | Nexus 8-speed + chain | Nexus + Gates belt | |
| How it works | Gears enclosed in the rear hub | Same principle, one more gear | Carbon belt instead of a chain |
| Maintenance | Chain needs lubing, sealed hub | Chain needs lubing, sealed hub | No grease or rust, just a tension check |
| Reference bike | District+ 1 and 2 | District+ 3 | District+ 2 Belt and 3 Lowstep Belt |
| What it means | Simplicity, change gear when stationary | Wider range for the hills | Clean trousers, very long life |
In other words: this District+ 3 Lowstep weighs 26.20 kg in size M according to Trek. Compared with the District+ 2 Lowstep, it brings a much larger removable battery, one more gear and wider tyres, for just 100 g more.
The 8-speed Nexus hub widens the gap between the lowest and highest gear compared with the 7-speed on the District+ 1 and 2: pulling away on a hill is easier and you go faster on the flat. As with all internal gear hubs, you can change gear when stationary, a real comfort at red lights.
The 545 Wh battery slides out of the down tube for charging. For daily use in town, it is a comfortable capacity that saves you charging every evening. The Active Line Plus motor accompanies you up to 25 km/h, then steps back as on any European e-bike.
| Model | Motor | Battery | Drivetrain | Weight (size) |
| District+ 2 Lowstep | Bosch Active Line Plus 50 Nm | 400 Wh | Nexus 7-speed, chain | 26.10 kg (M) |
| District+ 3 Lowstep | Bosch Active Line Plus 50 Nm | 545 or 800 Wh | Nexus 8-speed, chain | 26.20 kg (M) |
| District+ 3 Lowstep Belt | Bosch Active Line Plus 50 Nm | 545 or 800 Wh | Nexus 8-speed, belt | 25.20 kg (M) |
| District+ 4 Lowstep | Bosch Performance Line 75 Nm | 545 or 800 Wh | Nexus 5-speed, belt | 25.60 kg (M) |
Our take: the 545 Wh version is enough for most urban journeys; the 800 Wh is for those who ride long distances. The District+ 3 Lowstep Belt, at 25.20 kg in M, replaces the chain with a Gates belt.

LVR sizing advice The District+ 3 Lowstep ranges from S (155 to 165 cm) to XL (186 to 197 cm) depending on the colour, with an 85 mm stem in S and M and 105 mm in L and XL. If you are between two sizes, the smaller one gives a more upright posture, ideal in town.
