For the rider getting back on a bike after years away, who needs to look after their back or knees, or who simply wants the smoothest city bike possible. The step-through frame means no leg lifting, and the continuously variable gearing removes any question of which gear to use.
Comfort first, on the District+ 5 Lowstep. This Alpha Smooth aluminium step-through frame brings together everything that makes a journey pleasant: a Selle Royal ON saddle in its relaxed version, designed for an upright position, an Ergotec suspension seatpost, an adjustable SR Suntour Mobie 34 fork and 62 mm-wide Schwalbe Super Moto-X tyres. Mechanically, the continuously variable Enviolo hub and the Gates CDX belt do away with both gear steps and lubing.

In other words: the District+ 5 Lowstep is the most comfortable and best-equipped District+, with the easy access of a step-through frame, for 26.70 kg in size M.
The upright position of the District+ 5 Lowstep, with a 25 mm-rise handlebar and an adjustable stem, eases the strain on your wrists and lower back. The Selle Royal ON saddle, in its relaxed version, is designed for this posture, and the Ergotec PM705-N seatpost absorbs the bumps the fork doesn't filter out, such as kerbs and speed bumps.
On the Enviolo hub, you choose your ratio continuously: you can't be in the wrong gear. The steep streets leading to the Plateau des Poètes or Saint-Nazaire cathedral are climbed gently with the help of the motor, which stops assisting at 25 km/h. The 180 mm disc brakes then ensure a relaxed descent.
| Model | Motor | Battery | Drivetrain | Weight (size) |
| District+ 4 Lowstep | Bosch Performance Line, 75 Nm | 545 or 800 Wh | Nexus 5-speed, Gates CDX belt | 25.60 kg (M) |
| District+ 5 Lowstep | Bosch Performance Line, 75 Nm | 545 or 800 Wh | Enviolo Trekking, Gates CDX belt | 26.70 kg (M) |
| District+ 5 | Bosch Performance Line, 75 Nm | 545 or 800 Wh | Enviolo Trekking, Gates CDX belt | 27.10 kg (L) |
| District+ 3 Lowstep | Bosch Active Line Plus, 50 Nm | 545 or 800 Wh | Shimano Nexus 8-speed, chain | 26.20 kg (M) |
Our take: compared with the District+ 4 Lowstep (25.60 kg in M), this District+ 5 Lowstep weighs 1.10 kg more but adds the Enviolo, the Kiox 500, the Selle Royal saddle and the Ergotec suspension seatpost. The 800 Wh version brings 255 Wh more at the same Trek weight.
