For the rider who rides a lot and doesn't want to deal with anything: daily journeys, shopping, rides along the Orb, without ever cleaning or lubing a chain. The coaster brake will appeal to those used to it, and the large battery to those who rarely charge.
Coaster brake and belt: the most "Dutch" District+ 4. This model combines two habits dear to cyclists in the Netherlands, where Trek designs its urban e-bikes: you brake by pedalling backwards, thanks to the brake housed in the Nexus hub, and the chain gives way to a Gates CDX belt. The two Shimano hydraulic disc brakes are still on the handlebar: the coaster brake is an addition, it doesn't replace anything.
| Nexus 5 + chain | Nexus 5 + Gates CDX belt | Enviolo + Gates CDX belt | |
| How it works | 5 gears in the hub, conventional chain | 5 gears in the hub, toothed belt | Continuously variable, no steps |
| Maintenance | Chain needs cleaning and lubing | No grease or regular cleaning | No grease, sealed hub |
| Reference bike | District+ 4 Guard / Coaster Lowstep | District+ 4, 4 Lowstep, Coaster Belt | District+ 5 and 5 Lowstep |
| What it means | Simple, common parts | Clean and quiet every day | The finest gear progression |
In other words: the District+ 4 Coaster Belt Lowstep is aimed at those who grew up with a coaster brake or who want a bike that never needs lubing, with a step-through frame available from size XS.
With 800 Wh, this model has 255 Wh more than the 545 Wh version. In practice, you charge less often and keep a comfortable assistance mode more of the time. The battery comes out of the down tube; store it somewhere dry and at room temperature in winter, neither full nor empty, to preserve its capacity.
The coaster brake adds a third way to slow down: useful on descents in town, when you want to keep your hands on the handlebar or hold back a loaded bike. The Shimano MT200 hydraulic brakes on 160 mm rotors remain the go-to for firm stops. The assistance steps back at 25 km/h.
| 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+ 4 Coaster Belt Lowstep | Bosch Performance Line, 75 Nm | 545 or 800 Wh | Nexus 5 with coaster brake, belt | 26.00 kg (M) |
| District+ 4 Coaster Lowstep | Bosch Performance Line, 75 Nm | 545 or 800 Wh | Nexus 5 with coaster brake, chain | 26.00 kg (M) |
| District+ 4 Guard Lowstep | Bosch Performance Line, 75 Nm | 545 or 800 Wh | Nexus 5-speed, chain | 26.00 kg (M) |
Our take: the same Trek weight as the 545 Wh (26.00 kg in M) for 255 Wh more. Compared with the District+ 4 Coaster Lowstep, the Belt version swaps the HG40 chain for the belt, at the same published weight.

LVR sizing advice Four sizes from XS to L cover riders from 147 to 186 cm. With a coaster brake, a position where your foot easily reaches the ground when stopped is reassuring: if in doubt, the smaller of the two sizes is often the right one. The L moves to 175 mm cranks and a 105 mm stem.
