For anyone returning to cycling after years away who dreads lifting their leg or dealing with complicated gears. It's also for people with reduced hip or knee mobility, who appreciate a very low frame when stopping.
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 Lowstep frame, also called a step-through frame, lowers the top tube almost to the level of the bottom bracket: you step through in front of the saddle, without swinging your leg over. When stopped, on a sloping pavement or loaded with shopping, it's the difference between a bike you control and one that topples over.
Alpha Platinum aluminium is one of Trek's premium alloys, shaped here to house the battery and route the cables through the cockpit. The adjustable-angle stem lets you raise the bar for a properly upright position, with a relaxed back and your eyes up in traffic.
| 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: the N7 360 is the entry point to the Nexus hub series. For the same position and more intensive use, the N7 B adds a Gates belt and 540 Wh for 27.20 kg in L.

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.

The LVR Cycles verdict The ideal District+ for easing back into cycling: very low frame, suspension comfort and a no-fuss drivetrain. Its deep Cobra Blood red gives it real personality.
