For the commuter whose route crosses hills, between Béziers and the hilltop villages, and who wants to arrive at work fresh. It's for anyone who wants a powerful, long-range bike for intensive daily use.
Torque and gears together for varied terrain. With the 75 Nm Bosch Performance Line, a PowerTube 600 battery and a ten-speed Shimano CUES derailleur, this District+ 4 has the most finely spaced gear range in the series. The mid-cage U6000 GS derailleur handles a large sprocket without losing precision, and the Linkglide chain resists wear better than a conventional chain under the motor's push.

| 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: the R10 is the most versatile District+ of 2027, from everyday journeys to long weekend rides. It weighs 26.30 kg in L, less than the belt-drive N5 B.
On a hilly commute, the 75 Nm of torque from the Performance Line keeps your pace steady on climbs, and the PowerTube 600 provides the reserve for the round trip. Assistance stops at 25 km/h, as on any e-bike, which is plenty for an efficient journey.
The 50 mm Girona Comp tyres, with a puncture-protection layer and reflective strip, suit country roads and city streets alike. The Shimano MT200 hydraulic brakes and their 160 mm rotors give consistent braking on descents.
| Model | Motor | Battery | Drivetrain | Weight (L) |
| District+ 3 R9 540 LS | Bosch Active Line Plus | 540 Wh | CUES 9-speed derailleur | 24.30 kg |
| District+ 4 R10 LS | Bosch Performance Line | 600 Wh | CUES 10-speed derailleur | 26.30 kg |
| District+ 4 N5 B LS | Bosch Performance Line | 600 Wh | Nexus 5-speed hub, Gates belt | 27.70 kg |
| District+ 3 N7 540 LS | Bosch Active Line Plus | 540 Wh | Nexus 7-speed hub, chain | 27.70 kg |
Our take: for a hilly commute, the R10 brings the most powerful motor with ten gears. The gentler R9 540 suits less hilly routes, for 24.30 kg.

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.
