For couples or individuals who use their bike in town during the week and at the weekend to ride along the Canal du Midi, reach the Fonseranes locks or push on to the sea at Valras. It will suit anyone who rides at their own pace, with no interest in speed.
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 the canal towpath, with its sometimes uneven surface, the 50 mm Bontrager E6 tyres, the 60 mm fork and the suspension seatpost work together to smooth out roots and loose gravel. The Active Line Plus motor delivers steady, quiet assistance, pleasant on those long, shaded straights.
With 540 Wh, a full day out becomes possible while staying in a reasonable assistance mode, especially if the sea breeze picks up on the way back. Charge the battery the day before and take the charger for a very long loop; we help you plan your route based on your habits.
| 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 leisure rides, this N7 540 keeps the robust Nexus drivetrain and adds 180 Wh to the N7 360. If your rides include steep hills, the R9 540 offers a wider gear range with its 11-46 derailleur setup.

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.
