Is a Step-Through E-Bike Right For You?

What is a step-through e-bike?

The idea behind a step-through bicycle originates from the early 1900’s when women would ride bicycles in dresses and skirts. It was not considered ladylike to be riding a bicycle with a dress lifted up by the top tube on a traditional “men’s” bicycle, so the step-through or “women’s” frame was created for modesty reasons. This is where step-through comes from. However, in today's day and era the step-through is a gender neutral bike that everyone enjoys using for the simple fact that it is very accessible. Now this is being incorporated into our Pace 500 e-bike.
