For the commuter who wants to leave the car in the garage on a commute of several kilometres, morning and evening, with a few hills and some wind. It suits anyone who wants to arrive at work without breaking a sweat and without having to charge every evening.
540 Wh: the reserve that changes your habits. A Bosch battery is measured in watt-hours, the amount of energy stored. Going from 360 to 540 Wh gives you one and a half times more energy with the same Active Line Plus motor, so you can ride longer between charges or stay in a higher assistance mode. On this frame, the PowerTube sits inside the down tube and comes out for charging at home.
| PowerTube 360 Wh | PowerTube 540 Wh | PowerTube 600 | |
| Version | District+ 3 N7 360 / R9 360 | District+ 3 N7 540 / N7 B / R9 540 | District+ 4 N5 B / R10 |
| Paired motor | Active Line Plus | Active Line Plus | Performance Line 75 Nm |
| Charging | The quickest to top up | Longer charge, less often | Large capacity, hungrier motor |
| Who for | Short daily journeys | Long journeys, day rides | Hills, loads, demanding journeys |
In short: the same bike as the N7 360, the same Nexus 7-speed hub, but with a 540 Wh battery. It's the logical choice if your journey goes beyond the town centre or if you don't want to charge every evening.
On a daily round trip between a village and the centre, the 540 Wh battery gives you a margin: you can ride in a higher mode into the sea breeze or charge just a few times a week. Real-world range always depends on the mode chosen, the terrain, the weight carried and the temperature; we work it out with you based on your route.
The Nexus hub and its straight chain line stay clear of road spray: on wet autumn roads, nothing gets clogged up the way a derailleur does. The SKS mudguards protect your clothes, and the MIK-compatible rack holds a laptop pannier securely.
| Model | Motor | Battery | Drivetrain | Weight (L) |
| District+ 3 N7 360 LS | Bosch Active Line Plus | 360 Wh | Nexus 7-speed hub, chain | 26.80 kg |
| District+ 3 N7 540 LS | Bosch Active Line Plus | 540 Wh | Nexus 7-speed hub, chain | 27.70 kg |
| District+ 3 N7 B LS | Bosch Active Line Plus | 540 Wh | Nexus 7-speed hub, Gates belt | 27.20 kg |
| District+ 3 R9 540 LS | Bosch Active Line Plus | 540 Wh | CUES 9-speed derailleur | 24.30 kg |
Our take: for 900 g more than the N7 360 (27.70 kg versus 26.80 kg in L), you get an extra 180 Wh. If you want the same battery with no chain to grease, the belt-drive N7 B comes down to 27.20 kg.

LVR sizing advice Thanks to the low step-over, the top tube height hardly matters: go by your height. S for 147 to 155 cm, M for 155 to 173 cm, L for 170 to 185 cm, XL for 185 to 203 cm. If you're on the M / L borderline, try both in the shop: the 110 mm stem on the L stretches the position noticeably.
