Common questions

What is a step-through e-bike?

One with a low or dropped top tube, so you step through the frame to mount rather than swinging a leg over a high crossbar. It suits city riding for almost everyone, not just older riders.

What is the best step-through e-bike in Australia?

The Lekker Jordaan is the standout all-rounder near $3,000. For value the Eunorau META275 2.0 is excellent, and the Reid Let's Roll is the best cheap, low-worry option.

Are step-through frames less stiff?

Slightly, compared with an equivalent high-step, but for city, commuting and cruising the practicality far outweighs it. Most riders never notice the difference in normal use.
