The EASIEST Electric Bike to Ride! Things You MUST Know When Buying a Step Through E-Bike

All right, so today I'm going to show you three things you need to know about step-through electric bikes. Number one, the most important thing to know when searching for a step-through e-bike, not all step-through heights are created equal. A simple step-through is 10 and a half inches. Make sure you find the right step-through height that accommodates your body. Number two, not all tire sizes are going to be the same across step-through electrics. Make sure you buy the right tire size for the type of riding you're going to be doing. Number three, not all step-through electric bikes have a throttle. Determine if that's something you want, and make sure you check the specs so you can get the right step through the e-bike for you. On the Simple Step-Thru right here, we have, I'll pull out my tape measure, we have a 10-and-a-half inch step over height. How difficult or easy it is to step through makes a big difference. So you can see with the 10 inches you don't have to get your foot very high at all to step through. If you're talking about a step-over height up here, you know, it's going to make it a little more challenging to get the foot up and over. So it's really important that you as a rider search for a step-through e-bike, really knowing the height that you want or need, especially if you have difficulty lifting your leg or your foot and you need it to be as low as possible. This is, according to the geometry and the mechanics of our bike, this is the lowest possible step through height. We were able to manufacture with a 26-inch wheel. And you can see for him to get on and off, go ahead and just mount it. He just puts his leg right through there and then he can slide onto the seat. Now, the other piece of this is that it's got four custom adjustment points. We can adjust the tilt of the handlebars, the raise of the handlebars, the tilt of the seat, and the raise of the seat. And again, this step-through is going to make it so safe and easy to get on and off. Should you need to get off at a moment's notice, you could just pull your foot out and boom, you're off the bike.

There you go. Okay, now getting back to the wheel sizes. In the market, you're gonna see 16-inch, 20-inch, 24-inch, 26-inch wheels. And it's important to figure out what's most important for you as a rider. 16-inch wheels, and 20-inch wheels, they most likely won't lower the step through the ground that much. And if you're looking to use the bike as a regular bike at all, or to use the pedal assist a lot, with the smaller wheels, it means you're gonna have to pedal more times, and your legs are going to be working even harder to turn those wheels over more and more times. Having a larger wheel is going to be way more practical because you're going to cover more ground with each pedal stroke. You're going to be able to go faster. You're going to be able to go up hills easier. So it's going to broaden the spectrum of how you can ride your step through an e-bike versus having a very small wheel. Now, the last thing to consider, the third thing, if you're considering a step-through electric bike is not all step-through e-bikes come with a throttle. In the world of e-bikes, most times the pedal assist is standard. In the case of this e-bike, you have five levels of pedal assist. So as you're pedaling, you can either have assistance level one all the way up to five. Five are going to give you the most assistance and you'll be able to go the fastest. But it also has a throttle, meaning you can just use this thumb throttle, push this down and the bike will go and you don't have to pedal at all. So if you're searching through step-through e-bikes and you think you may want a throttle, make sure you look for that in the specs. Otherwise, not all step-through e-bikes, again, if you're just searching and you land on one, not all of them are going to have that option.
