For the tall rider who prefers a step-through frame, for comfort or out of habit, and is looking for a bright e-bike that stands out from the dark-coloured crowd. It suits daily journeys and Sunday rides along the Allées Paul Riquet.
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.
A light grey is easier to see than black at dusk, and the reflective sidewalls of the E6 tyres boost your side visibility at junctions. These Hard-Case Lite tyres include puncture protection, invaluable on streets littered with broken glass and thorns.
The SR Suntour NVX30 coil fork and its adjustable preload suit heavier and lighter riders alike. The suspension seatpost extends that comfort. The Active Line Plus motor's assistance stops at 25 km/h, and the Purion 200 control lets you change mode without letting go of the handlebar.
| 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: this pearl grey only comes in L and XL, whereas the Dark Aquatic blue and Lithium grey go down to S. With 545 Wh, it is aimed at everyday use; the 800 Wh in the same colour is for long rides.
