Who is it for?

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 LVR workshop view

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.

Which Charter+ should you choose?

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.
