For taller riders, up to 203 cm in XL, who prefer a traditional frame and want an e-bike for tracks, gentle sporty rides and mixed journeys. It will suit those who ride solo and rarely put a foot down.
The standard frame, for taller riders and the tracks. This Charter+ 4 Trail drops the low step-over in favour of a classic Alpha Platinum aluminium frame, offered from M to XL for riders from 165 to 203 cm. It has the Trail equipment: an 80 mm coil fork with lockout, a 720 mm flat bar and Connection Elite tyres, with the rack and mudguards integrated into the frame.
| 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: with its 540 Wh battery, it's quoted at 26.80 kg in size L according to Trek, the lowest weight in the Charter+ range. It suits riders who prefer swinging a leg over a traditional frame and want to ride off the road.
A standard frame has a more closed front triangle than the Lowstep, making the bike feel very solid when you push on the pedals on climbs. With 75 Nm of assistance, limited to 25 km/h, the hills up to the hilltop villages around Béziers can be ridden seated, smoothly.
The XCR32 fork locks out for the road and opens up on tracks. Its preload is set according to your weight: a heavier rider firms it up, a lighter one softens it so that it really works. We do this initial setup with you.
| Model | Motor / battery | Drivetrain | Fork | Weight (size) |
| Charter+ 4 Trail 540 Wh | Bosch Performance Line 75 Nm / 540 Wh | Shimano CUES 9-speed | XCR32 80 mm | 26.80 kg (L) |
| 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 Trail 540 Wh Lowstep | Bosch Performance Line 75 Nm / 540 Wh | Shimano CUES 9-speed | XCR32 80 mm | 27.80 kg (M) |
| Charter+ 4 Nexus 5 belt 540 Wh | Bosch Performance Line 75 Nm / 540 Wh | Nexus 5 + belt | 63 mm coil | 31.60 kg (L) |
Our take: at 26.80 kg in L according to Trek, this Trail 540 Wh is 3.90 kg lighter than the Trail 800 Wh (30.70 kg in L). If you prefer a low step-over, the Trail 540 Wh Lowstep goes down to size S.

LVR sizing advice This standard frame comes from M to XL. Between 170 and 173 cm, M and L overlap: the M gives a more compact, nimble position, the L more reach for riding long distances. We check your inside leg before confirming, then adjust the stem.

| I'm 1.90 m tall, what size? | Size XL covers 185 to 203 cm according to Trek; we confirm it with your inside leg measurement. |
| Why no size S? | This standard frame is offered from M to XL; shorter riders should look at the Lowstep version. |
| Is the battery removable? | Yes, it slides out through the top of the down tube. |
| Is the black matt? | Dark Web is a deep, discreet black. |
