For the rider who wants to be seen in traffic and appreciates a bold colour, with the simplicity of a step-through frame and the familiar coaster brake. Smaller riders will find their size from XS.
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 Bosch Intuvia 100 display brings the essentials together in the centre of the handlebar and works with the Bosch smart system, which lets you pair the bike with your smartphone, track your journeys and receive updates. For urban use, it is a simple, readable interface with no complicated menus.
A light, warm colour stands out better in traffic than a dark bike, especially as the Bontrager E6 Hard-Case Lite tyres have reflective sidewalls. On the motor side, the Bosch Performance Line offers natural assistance up to 25 km/h, ideal for climbing the streets of the old town.
| 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: this Pennyflake shares everything with the black Coaster Lowstep: only the colour changes. With 545 Wh, it weighs 26.00 kg in M according to Trek; the 800 Wh version adds 255 Wh at the same published weight.
