Who is it for?

For the rider who wants to leave the road without moving to a mountain bike: vineyard tracks, gravel lanes, hard-packed greenways. The step-through frame reassures those who often put a foot down on uneven ground.

The LVR workshop view

The Charter+ that's happy to leave the tarmac. The Trail version keeps the step-through Alpha Platinum aluminium frame and its integrated equipment, but changes everything that touches the terrain: an 80 mm SR Suntour XCR32 fork with tapered steerer, Bontrager Connection Elite tyres and a 720 mm flat bar. With the 800 Wh PowerTube, it's the most exploration-focused version of the Lowstep range.

	Charter+ 4 Trail	Charter+ 4 R9	Charter+ 5 R10
Fork	XCR32 coil, 80 mm, lockout	SF25 coil, 63 mm	Mobie 34 air, 80 mm
Tyres / handlebar	Connection Elite, 720 mm flat bar	E6 Hard-Case Lite, 630 mm bar	E6 Hard-Case Lite, 630 mm bar
Reference bike	Trail 540 Wh Lowstep, 27.80 kg (M)	R9 540 Wh Lowstep, 30.80 kg (M)	R10 540 Wh Lowstep, 30.30 kg (M)
What it means	Confident on tracks and trails	Road and greenways	More torque, stronger braking

In short: the Charter+ 4 Trail 800 Wh Lowstep pairs the big battery with a more off-road-ready chassis. It weighs 31.70 kg in size M according to Trek, like the R9 800 Wh, but you steer it with a much wider bar.

The XCR32 fork offers 80 mm of travel, compared with 63 mm on the road-oriented Charter+ 4 models, with a stiffer tapered steerer and a lockout for long stretches of tarmac. On the stony tracks of the hinterland, it absorbs impacts better and keeps the front wheel in contact with the ground.

The 720 mm flat bar, with just 5 mm of rise, gives you plenty of leverage to hold your line in ruts; it tilts the position slightly forward. The Bosch assistance, which stops at 25 km/h, is especially valuable for climbing short, steep dirt ramps where you quickly lose momentum.

Which Charter+ should you choose?

Model	Motor / battery	Drivetrain	Fork	Weight (size)
Charter+ 4 Trail 540 Wh Lowstep	Bosch Performance Line 75 Nm / 540 Wh	Shimano CUES 9-speed	XCR32 80 mm	27.80 kg (M)
Charter+ 4 Trail 800 Wh Lowstep	Bosch Performance Line 75 Nm / 800 Wh	Shimano CUES 9-speed	XCR32 80 mm	31.70 kg (M)
Charter+ 4 Trail 800 Wh	Bosch Performance Line 75 Nm / 800 Wh	Shimano CUES 9-speed	XCR32 80 mm	30.70 kg (L)
Charter+ 4 R9 800 Wh Lowstep	Bosch Performance Line 75 Nm / 800 Wh	Shimano CUES 9-speed	63 mm coil	31.70 kg (M)

Our take: at 31.70 kg in M, this Trail 800 Wh weighs the same as the R9 800 Wh, but gains an 80 mm fork and a wide bar. The Trail 540 Wh Lowstep is quoted at 27.80 kg in M, if lightness matters more than capacity.

LVR sizing advice

You get onto the Lowstep frame from the front, without lifting your leg: the size is chosen mainly on saddle height and reach. Trek's ranges overlap between M and L (170 to 173 cm); in that case, the smaller size gives a more upright position and the larger one more room for long rides. The height-adjustable stem then fine-tunes the position.

Size	S	M	L	XL
Rider height (cm)	147-155	155-173	170-185	185-203
Inseam (cm)	69-88	77-96	80-99	86-105
Wheels (in)	27.5	27.5	27.5	27.5
Seatpost (mm)	300	300	300	300

Your questions

Can I ride it on mountain bike trails?	On easy tracks and trails, yes; for technical singletrack, an electric mountain bike is still the better choice.
What is the fork lockout for?	To stiffen the front end on tarmac and stop it bobbing as you pedal.
Do the mudguards get in the way off-road?	No, they're designed for these 2.40-inch tyres; clean them after riding in mud.
Is the green vivid?	No, Lichen Green is a soft, slightly greyish green.
