For anyone who does their shopping, goes to the market or heads into the centre of Béziers several times a week, over short distances. It will also appeal to recent retirees who want a stable bike that's easy to get on and doesn't require any mechanical knowledge.
The Nexus hub: gears out of harm's way. On this District+, the seven gears aren't visible: they're housed inside the rear wheel hub, protected from rain and dust. You can change gear at a standstill, at the lights, without pedalling, something a derailleur can't do. The chain stays straight, with no derailleur exposed to knocks when the bike is parked against a stand.
| Nexus hub + chain | Nexus hub + Gates belt | Shimano CUES derailleur | |
| How it works | Gears hidden in the rear hub | Gears in the hub, carbon belt | External sprockets and derailleur |
| Shifting | Possible at a standstill, at red lights | Possible at a standstill, at red lights | While pedalling, smoothly |
| Maintenance | Low, chain to grease | Very low, no greasing | Regular: cleaning, adjustment |
| Who for | Simple urban journeys | Everyday use without the grime | Varied terrain, sporty rides |
In short: this version pairs the smallest battery in the range, 360 Wh, with the easiest-to-live-with drivetrain. It's the District+ for short, regular journeys, for anyone who wants an e-bike that's ready to ride without a second thought.
The Nexus hub changes the way you ride in town: stopped at the lights on the Allées Paul Riquet in seventh, you drop into first without turning the pedals, then pull away smoothly. The Active Line Plus motor kicks in gently, with no shove in the back, which reassures those new to e-bikes.
The SR Suntour coil-sprung fork, with its 60 mm of travel, and the suspension seatpost smooth out cobbles, kerbs and manhole covers. The wide 50 mm E6 Hard-Case Lite tyres with reflective sidewalls add comfort and real side-on visibility in headlights.
| 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 360 LS | Bosch Active Line Plus | 360 Wh | CUES 9-speed derailleur | 26.40 kg |
Our take: with 360 Wh, this District+ is the lightest of the chain-driven N7 models (26.80 kg versus 27.70 kg for the N7 540). If your journeys add up to more than a few kilometres a day, the 540 Wh battery will give you more margin between charges.

LVR sizing advice The Lowstep frame is chosen mainly by the rider's height: S covers 147 to 155 cm, M 155 to 173 cm, L 170 to 185 cm and XL 185 to 203 cm. Between M and L, the M brings the bar closer and feels reassuring in town, while the L stretches the position for longer rides; the stem goes from 70 to 110 mm in L and XL.

| 360 Wh, for what kind of journeys? | For regular urban use; real-world range varies with mode, terrain, wind and your weight. |
| Can I change gear at a standstill? | Yes, that's the advantage of the Nexus hub: you can change gear even without pedalling. |
| Does the rack take a basket? | Yes, it's MIK-compatible: MIK baskets and panniers clip on in one movement. |
| Does the grey get dirty quickly? | The light silver grey hides street dust well and is easy to clean. |
