For the urban rider who wants a bike with no chain maintenance, lighter than the other District+ 3 models, and who rides in everyday clothes. It suits riders from 155 to 186 cm according to Trek, for daily commuting and rides along the canal.
District+ 3 Lowstep Belt: Alpha Platinum and belt drive together. This version gets a different frame: Trek uses its Alpha Platinum aluminium here, a higher grade than Alpha Smooth, with a battery that slides out through the top of the down tube and cables integrated right from the cockpit. The drivetrain pairs the Nexus 8-speed hub with a Gates CDC CenterTrack belt that needs neither oil nor degreaser.
| Nexus 7-speed + chain | Nexus 8-speed + chain | Nexus + Gates belt | |
| How it works | Gears enclosed in the rear hub | Same principle, one more gear | Carbon belt instead of a chain |
| Maintenance | Chain needs lubing, sealed hub | Chain needs lubing, sealed hub | No grease or rust, just a tension check |
| Reference bike | District+ 1 and 2 | District+ 3 | District+ 2 Belt and 3 Lowstep Belt |
| What it means | Simplicity, change gear when stationary | Wider range for the hills | Clean trousers, very long life |
In short: at 25.20 kg in size M according to Trek, this District+ 3 Lowstep Belt weighs 1 kg less than the chain-driven District+ 3 Lowstep. It's the most refined of the District+ models with the Active Line Plus motor.
The Alpha Platinum frame uses one of Trek's most advanced aluminium alloys. Here it saves 1 kg compared with the chain-driven District+ 3 Lowstep. The battery comes out through the top of the down tube, a simple job, with no need to turn the bike over or bend down under the frame.
The Gates CDC belt needs no grease, doesn't rust and won't dirty your clothes. Paired with the Nexus 8-speed hub, it gives a quiet and very durable drivetrain. The Active Line Plus motor assists up to 25 km/h, the European limit, and is very quiet.
| Model | Motor | Battery | Drivetrain | Weight (size) |
| District+ 2 Belt Lowstep | Bosch Active Line Plus 50 Nm | 400 Wh | Nexus 7-speed, belt | 26.10 kg (M) |
| District+ 3 Lowstep | Bosch Active Line Plus 50 Nm | 545 or 800 Wh | Nexus 8-speed, chain | 26.20 kg (M) |
| District+ 3 Lowstep Belt | Bosch Active Line Plus 50 Nm | 545 or 800 Wh | Nexus 8-speed, belt | 25.20 kg (M) |
| District+ 4 Lowstep | Bosch Performance Line 75 Nm | 545 or 800 Wh | Nexus 5-speed, belt | 25.60 kg (M) |
Our take: at 25.20 kg in M, this Belt is the lightest of the District+ 3 Lowstep models. With 545 Wh, it's aimed at town riding; the 800 Wh version in the same colour suits long rides. The District+ 4 Lowstep moves up to the 75 Nm motor.
