For the commuter riding into Béziers from neighbouring towns in all weathers who wants a simple, robust electric bike able to last several days of journeys without charging. It will also suit anyone riding in town and in the countryside at the weekend.
Chain and freewheel: the classic version of the District+ 4. The District+ 4 Guard Lowstep pairs a Shimano HG40 chain with a 27-tooth Nexus sprocket; the five-speed internal gear hub and the freewheel are those of an ordinary city bike. No coaster brake here: the two Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes do all the work, as on a classic city bike.
| 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 Guard Lowstep is the most conventional version of the step-through District+ 4, for those who want the 75 Nm motor and the Nexus hub without a belt or coaster brake.
With 800 Wh, this version carries 255 Wh more than the 545 Wh: more days between charges and more freedom in choosing your assistance mode. The battery comes out of the frame to be charged indoors; in winter, keep it somewhere mild and neither full nor empty if the bike isn't being used.
In wet weather, the SKS front and rear mudguards protect your clothes and the mechanics, and the 2.40-inch tyres with reflective sidewalls keep good grip on wet roads. The Bosch motor assists up to 25 km/h, and the MT200 brakes stay consistent in a downpour.
| 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 version (26.00 kg in M) for 255 Wh more: the logical choice if your journeys go beyond the town centre. To do without lubing, the Coaster Belt Lowstep version, at the same weight, uses a belt.
