For the rider who just wants to pedal, without ever wondering about the right gear, in town or on leisure rides. It's particularly suited to anyone who has been put off by the gears on a conventional bike.
The Charter+ that changes gear for you. The Charter+ 5 Auto pairs the 90 Nm Bosch Performance Line PX motor with an Enviolo Trekking automatic internal gear hub and a Gates CDX belt. The step-through Alpha Platinum frame gets the Mobie 34 air fork, Shimano MT420 brakes and an adjustable sprung seatpost, under a Selle Royal ON saddle.

| How it works | The hub chooses the ratio on its own | You vary the ratio | 10 sprockets, you change gear |
| Maintenance | Grease-free belt | Grease-free belt | Chain needs maintenance |
| Reference bike | Auto 540 Wh Lowstep, 30.60 kg (M) | Enviolo 540 Wh Lowstep, 31.60 kg (M) | R10 540 Wh Lowstep, 30.30 kg (M) |
| What it means | Focus on the road | Smooth, no jolts | Efficiency, widest range |
In short: you pedal, the hub takes care of the rest. With its 540 Wh battery, the Charter+ 5 Auto weighs 30.60 kg in size M according to Trek and is aimed at riders who want the most intuitive ride possible.
The automatic hub adjusts the ratio to your speed: it shortens the gear as you slow down before a set of lights and lengthens it as you accelerate. You keep a comfortable pedalling cadence without touching any controls, which frees up your attention for the traffic.
The 90 Nm of the PX motor and the automatic hub make an effective duo on climbs: you pull away in a low ratio, without a jolt. The wide, soft Selle Royal ON saddle sits on a sprung seatpost with adjustable stiffness.
| Model | Motor / battery | Drivetrain | Fork | Weight (size) |
| Charter+ 4 Enviolo belt 540 Wh Lowstep | Bosch Performance Line 75 Nm / 540 Wh | Enviolo City + belt | 63 mm coil | 31.60 kg (M) |
| Charter+ 5 Auto 540 Wh Lowstep | Bosch Performance Line PX 90 Nm / 540 Wh | Automatic Enviolo + belt | Mobie 34 air 80 mm | 30.60 kg (M) |
| Charter+ 5 Auto 800 Wh Lowstep | Bosch Performance Line PX 90 Nm / 800 Wh | Automatic Enviolo + belt | Mobie 34 air 80 mm | 31.50 kg (M) |
| Charter+ 5 R10 540 Wh Lowstep | Bosch Performance Line PX 90 Nm / 540 Wh | Shimano CUES 10-speed | Mobie 34 air 80 mm | 30.30 kg (M) |
Our take: at 30.60 kg in M, this Charter+ 5 Auto 540 Wh weighs 1 kg less than the Charter+ 4 Enviolo 540 Wh, while adding the PX motor and automatic shifting. The 800 Wh version weighs 31.50 kg.

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.

| Do I have to change gear myself? | No, the automatic Enviolo hub takes care of it according to your speed. |
| Can you feel the automatic shifting? | The ratio changes continuously, with no noticeable steps. |
| Which saddle is fitted? | A wide, soft Selle Royal ON on an adjustable sprung seatpost. |
| Is the black glossy? | Dark Web is a deep black with an elegant finish. |
|
The LVR Cycles verdict The most intuitive Charter+, which does away with gear management altogether while offering a powerful motor. Its deep black gives it a premium look.
