For a family or couple who want the same model, each in their own size, or for a smaller rider looking for the comfort of suspension. It is also aimed at people with reduced hip mobility who appreciate a very low frame.
District+ 2 Lowstep: easy access, with added comfort. This Alpha Smooth aluminium step-through frame uses the mechanics of the District+ 2: Bosch Active Line Plus motor, CompactTube 400 Wh battery, suspension fork and suspension seatpost. Getting on, getting off and putting a foot down at a red light happen without contortions, which makes a difference every day when you stop often.

| 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: the District+ 2 Lowstep weighs 26.10 kg in size M according to Trek. Compared with the District+ 1 Lowstep, it adds proper front suspension, a suspension seatpost and a 50 Nm motor, for 1.80 kg more.
The Lowstep frame and the Pletscher Comp Flex 18 kickstand make the bike easy to park and load, even for a smaller rider. The MIK-compatible rear rack takes clip-on baskets and panniers. The wide SKS mudguards protect you from spray on rainy days, rare but heavy in the Hérault.
The Active Line Plus motor works at the bottom bracket, as close as possible to your effort, and cuts out at 25 km/h, as the regulations require. The Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes, with two 160 mm rotors, keep braking consistent even when loaded. An occasional bleed keeps the lever firm.
| Model | Motor | Battery | Drivetrain | Weight (size) |
| District+ 1 Lowstep | Bosch Active Line 40 Nm | 400 Wh | Nexus 7-speed, chain | 24.30 kg (M) |
| District+ 2 Lowstep | Bosch Active Line Plus 50 Nm | 400 Wh | Nexus 7-speed, chain | 26.10 kg (M) |
| District+ 2 Belt Lowstep | Bosch Active Line Plus 50 Nm | 400 Wh | Nexus 7-speed, belt | 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) |
Our take: this black colour is the only chain-driven District+ 2 Lowstep offered in S, with the Keswick blue stopping at M. The District+ 3 Lowstep, at 26.20 kg in M, moves to a removable 545 or 800 Wh battery.
