For riders who cover long commutes or big leisure rides and want a clean bike, light for its category and with no chain maintenance. It suits riders from 165 to 186 cm according to Trek.
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 800 Wh battery loads through the top of the down tube, which makes it easy to remove despite its size. To look after it, charge it at room temperature and store it half charged over the winter. Range depends on terrain, wind and assistance mode, so we don't put a figure on it.
The SR Suntour NVX30 fork and suspension seatpost soak up the bumps on cycle paths and country lanes. The Active Line Plus motor stops assisting at 25 km/h, the European rule. The Gates belt stays quiet and clean, even after a dusty day on the tracks.
| 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: in the same colour, the 800 Wh is aimed at long distances and the 545 Wh at everyday town riding. The District+ 4 Lowstep (25.60 kg in M) pairs the same battery with a 75 Nm Performance Line motor.
