Electric city bike Trek District+ 1 Lowstep brown: Bosch Active Line 400 Wh, Nexus 7-speed, 24.30 kg in M

Trek District+ 1 Lowstep Supernova: light and accessible, from S to L

At 24.30 kg in size M according to Trek, the Trek District+ 1 Lowstep is the lightest District+ featured here. This Supernova colour, a warm, soft brown, is offered in S and L: the S goes down to a rider height of 140 cm. Bosch Active Line motor, 400 Wh CompactTube battery, 7-speed Nexus hub and hydraulic disc brakes form a simple, reliable base.

Technical specifications

Who is it for?

For a smaller rider, from 140 cm, who wants an easy-to-handle e-bike that isn't too heavy to get out of the garage. It also suits a couple sharing a bike for shopping and short trips, and anyone new to electric cycling.

The LVR workshop view

The Lowstep, a frame you step through without lifting your leg. On this version of the District+ 1, the top tube dips almost down to the bottom bracket: you get on the bike as easily as climbing a step, even in a skirt, with a bag on your back or shopping on the rack. The Alpha Smooth aluminium keeps the Bosch battery in the down tube and the rigid fork keeps the weight down.

In other words: at 24.30 kg in size M according to Trek, this District+ 1 Lowstep is the lightest District+ in this group. The 40 Nm Bosch Active Line motor provides progressive assistance, gentler than that of the higher models.

For a smaller rider, every kilo counts: you lift the bike up a kerb, manoeuvre it in a storeroom, rest it on its Pletscher kickstand. With a rigid fork and a compact 400 Wh battery, this District+ 1 Lowstep remains easier to handle than the suspension models. The 40 Nm Active Line motor, whose assistance stops at 25 km/h, starts up smoothly.

The stem goes from 85 mm in S to 105 mm in L, and its angle is adjustable: we can bring the handlebar closer or higher for a nicely upright position. The wide, padded Selle Royal Nuvola saddle puts comfort first on short trips, where you ride in everyday clothes.

Which District+ should you choose?

Our take: with identical mechanics, this brown colour opens up size S, whereas the midnight blue only comes in L here. Compared with the Coaster Lowstep (25.00 kg in M), it keeps two disc brakes and a single rear rack.
