For the family who want to put several members on the same bike, from the smallest rider (147 cm) to the tallest (197 cm), and for riders used to a coaster brake who prefer a conventional chain that is easy to have replaced anywhere.
Three brakes for an everyday bike. The District+ 4 Coaster Lowstep combines two Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes on the levers with a coaster brake in the Nexus rear hub: one backward push on the pedal is enough to slow down. The drivetrain stays chain-driven, a Shimano HG40 on a 27-tooth sprocket, which keeps wear parts common and easy to replace.
| 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: a very accessible step-through District+ 4, with the extra safety of a coaster brake and the widest size range in the family, from XS to XL.
The Shimano HG40 chain runs on a 27-tooth Nexus sprocket. Unlike on a derailleur bike, it always stays straight and wears little; regular cleaning and lubing are all it needs. The internal gear hub keeps its five gears sheltered, and you can change gear when stationary, before setting off.
The coaster brake is in addition to the two Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes: in town, it lets you slow gently without letting go of the grips. The 75 Nm Bosch motor gives punchy starts, and its assistance ends at 25 km/h, in line with European regulations.
| 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: at 26.00 kg in M, this Coaster Lowstep has the same Trek weight as the Belt version: the difference comes down to chain (common parts) versus belt (no grease). The 800 Wh version adds 255 Wh at the same published weight.

| Can I change gear when stationary? | Yes, that is one of the strengths of the Nexus hub. |
| Does the satin black scratch? | It stands up well to everyday use; a soft cloth is all it needs. |
