The motor's whisper-quiet operation ensures your enjoyment of the ride remains undisturbed by mechanical noise, while providing the support you need for enhanced urban riding.
This variant of the bike comes fitted with a 545Wh battery, which is ample for your weekly trips around town, while also reducing battery weight. However, the District+ 4 is available with four battery capacity options ranging from 400Wh to 800Wh, allowing you to select the perfect balance between range and weight to match your specific riding needs and budget. The removable integrated battery design maintains the bike's clean aesthetic while offering the convenience of indoor charging and the option to upgrade capacity as your riding habits evolve.
The advanced Gates CDX belt drive system represents a significant step forward from traditional chain drivetrains, offering virtually maintenance-free operation with no rust, grease, or noise concerns. This premium belt drive technology provides smooth, reliable power transfer while dramatically reducing the time and effort required for ongoing maintenance. Combined with the Shimano Nexus C7000 5-speed internally geared hub, gear changes remain smooth and precise even when stationary, making traffic light stops and urban navigation more convenient.
Trek's high-performance hydroformed aluminium frame provides an excellent foundation for the integrated electrical components while maintaining the structural integrity needed for daily use. The low-step design ensures easy mounting and dismounting, particularly beneficial when wearing business attire or carrying cargo. Internal cable routing contributes to the bike's attractive appearance whilst protecting cables from the elements and potential damage.
The SR Suntour NVX30 suspension fork with 60mm of travel absorbs road imperfections and urban obstacles, working alongside the suspension seatpost to deliver enhanced comfort during longer rides. This combination effectively reduces rider fatigue whilst maintaining the direct handling characteristics that make navigating busy streets both safe and enjoyable.
Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes provide confident stopping power in all weather conditions, ensuring reliable performance whether you're navigating steep descents or dealing with sudden traffic situations. The 160mm rotors offer excellent heat dissipation and consistent performance across varied riding conditions.
Practical considerations haven't been overlooked, with integrated lighting systems, mudguards, rear carrier rack, and kickstand included as standard equipment. The Bosch smart system integration allows seamless pairing with your smartphone for ride tracking, route planning, and system customisation, bringing modern connectivity to your daily cycling experience.
