For the leisure rider who wants to enjoy the scenery, from the banks of the Orb to the coastal paths, without managing gears or worrying about hills. It will appeal to anyone who wants a premium bike that's still simple to use.
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.

| 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 air-sprung Mobie 34 fork is set to the rider's weight, with adjustable rebound and compression: it stays supple on tracks while avoiding diving under braking. Its lockout firms up the front end on long, smooth roads.
The Shimano MT420 brakes on 180 and 203 mm rotors offer a reassuring margin of power on descents. With the automatic hub, you only have to think about steering and braking: the bike handles the rest.
| 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: the same bike as the black colour. To ride for longer, the Charter+ 5 Auto 800 Wh adds 260 Wh for 0.90 kg (31.50 kg in M); the Charter+ 5 R10 540 Wh (30.30 kg) keeps a 10-speed CUES derailleur.

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.
