For tourers who set off for several days with panniers, on greenways and back roads, and want to focus on the scenery. It will appeal to couples who share a desire to ride far without the technical side.
The top of the Charter+ range. A 90 Nm Bosch Performance Line PX motor, an 800 Wh PowerTube, an automatic Enviolo Trekking hub and a Gates CDX belt: this Charter+ 5 Auto brings together the most advanced features the family has to offer. The Alpha Platinum Lowstep frame keeps its integrated rack and mudguards, and the Bontrager Boulevard saddle sits on an adjustable sprung seatpost.
| Automatic Enviolo (Charter+ 5 Auto) | Enviolo City (Charter+ 4) | CUES 10-speed derailleur (Charter+ 5 R10) | |
| 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: the most complete Charter+, designed for riding long distances without thinking about gears or charging. Trek quotes 31.50 kg in size M, 0.90 kg more than the 540 Wh version.
When loaded with luggage, the automatic hub proves invaluable: at every change of gradient, it adapts the ratio without you having to think ahead. The 90 Nm of the PX motor makes restarts easier with full panniers, and the belt doesn't get clogged on tracks.
The MT420 brakes on 180 and 203 mm rotors keep loaded descents safe. The Bontrager Boulevard saddle and adjustable sprung seatpost keep you comfortable stage after stage; the battery is charged in the evening at your accommodation.
| Model | Motor / battery | Drivetrain | Fork | Weight (size) |
| Charter+ 4 Enviolo belt 800 Wh Lowstep | Bosch Performance Line 75 Nm / 800 Wh | Enviolo City + belt | 63 mm coil | 32.50 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 800 Wh Lowstep | Bosch Performance Line PX 90 Nm / 800 Wh | Shimano CUES 10-speed | Mobie 34 air 80 mm | 31.20 kg (M) |
Our take: the same bike as the black colour. Compared with the Charter+ 5 R10 800 Wh (31.20 kg in M), it replaces the derailleur with an automatic belt-driven hub for 0.30 kg more.

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.
