Trek District+ 1 Coaster Lowstep Matte Deep Dark Blue: brake by pedalling backwards

The Trek District+ 1 Coaster Lowstep takes the step-through frame of the District+ 1 Lowstep and builds a coaster brake into the 7-speed Shimano Nexus hub. The 40 Nm Bosch Active Line motor draws on a 400 Wh CompactTube battery, and two MIK-compatible racks, front and rear, complete the equipment. Trek quotes 25.00 kg in size M. This Matte Deep Dark Blue colour dresses the bike in a matt midnight blue.

Who is it for?

For the rider who learned to brake by pedalling backwards and doesn't want to change their reflexes, or who prefers having just one lever on the handlebar. Offered in S and L, it suits short everyday trips: school, market, shops in the centre, with a basket at the front and a pannier at the back.

The LVR workshop view

The Coaster: old-school braking for an electric bike. Coaster refers to the back-pedal brake: you pedal backwards and the Nexus hub brakes the wheel. This District+ 1 Lowstep therefore has just one lever on the handlebar, for the front hydraulic disc. Trek adds a second, MIK-compatible rack at the front, on the same Alpha Smooth aluminium step-through frame.

	Coaster brake	Hydraulic discs	The Coaster combination
How it works	You pedal backwards to brake	One lever per wheel on the handlebar	Disc at the front, coaster brake at the rear
Maintenance	Built into the hub, almost none	Periodic pads and bleeds	Front pads only
Reference bike	Traditional city bikes	District+ 1 Lowstep	District+ 1 Coaster Lowstep
What it means	Second nature if you grew up with it	Fine modulation on both wheels	A single lever, hands freer

In other words: this District+ 1 Coaster Lowstep weighs 25.00 kg in size M according to Trek, with two racks and a foot-operated rear brake. It is aimed first and foremost at those used to coaster brakes.

The coaster brake works inside the rear hub: just push the pedal backwards to slow the wheel. It is unaffected by mud or pad wear, as everything is enclosed. At the front, a 160 mm Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brake provides the power needed to stop sharply. The Bosch assistance stops at 25 km/h, and it also cuts out as soon as you stop pedalling.

The MIK-compatible front rack takes up to 10 kg according to Trek: a load in front of the handlebar stays in your field of vision, handy for a shopping bag or a school bag. On the rear rack, also MIK, baskets and panniers clip on and off in one movement. Think about a good lock, as the bike will be parked outside shops.

Which District+ should you choose?

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+ 1 Coaster Lowstep	Bosch Active Line 40 Nm	400 Wh	Nexus 7-speed, coaster brake	25.00 kg (M)
District+ 2 Belt Lowstep	Bosch Active Line Plus 50 Nm	400 Wh	Nexus 7-speed, belt	26.10 kg (M)
District+ 4 Coaster Lowstep	Bosch Performance Line 75 Nm	545 or 800 Wh	Nexus 5-speed, coaster brake	26.00 kg (M)

Our take: at 25.00 kg in M, the Coaster weighs 700 g more than the District+ 1 Lowstep with two discs (24.30 kg), mainly because of the front rack. The District+ 4 Coaster Lowstep keeps the coaster brake with a 75 Nm Performance Line motor.

LVR sizing advice

This model comes in S (155 to 165 cm) and L (175 to 186 cm) depending on the colour. With a coaster brake, a saddle that is too high hinders the movement: we set it so the rear pedal stays easy to push back.

Size	S	L
Rider height (cm)	155-165	175-186
Inseam (cm)	72-78	82-88
Stem (mm)	85	105

Your questions

Can I backpedal to position the cranks?	No, pedalling backwards applies the brake; you position the pedal by lifting the wheel or moving forward.
What load can the front take?	10 kg maximum according to Trek for the front rack.
Does the motor cut out when braking?	The assistance stops as soon as you stop pedalling forwards.
Can this blue be seen at night?	It is a dark shade: powerful lights and light-coloured clothing are recommended.

The LVR Cycles verdict

The District+ 1 designed for those who brake with their feet, with two racks for the weekly shop. Its matt midnight blue paintwork stays understated in every situation.

Pros
+ Maintenance-free rear brake
+ MIK front and rear racks
+ A single lever on the handlebar

Cons
- Coaster brake is disconcerting if you are not used to it
- Rigid fork
