Choosing Your Bike Frame: Step-Through vs. Step-Over

Curious about which EBC model suits you best? Your initial choice involves selecting the frame. Here’s the lowdown to help you determine which frame type aligns with your needs.

Step-Through Frame

Step-through frames, favored by both men and women, feature a lower frame facilitating easy maneuvering onto your EBC bike regardless of age, physical condition, or height. Our E-Bike offerings include step-through frames (Model S, Model Y and Model E) to ensure inclusivity and enjoyment for all.

These bikes are especially convenient for commuting, particularly if your work attire is more formal. With no top bar hindering access, step-through frames provide seamless mounting and dismounting.

If you prioritize ease of access, especially for city riding and diminished flexibility, a step-through frame is likely your best bet.

Step-Over Frame

Historically popular, step-over frames (Model C, Model A and Model J) offer longevity as a key advantage. Given the investment in your E-Bike, durability is paramount. Step-over bikes are designed structurally and ergonomically to endure extensive mileage.

Crafted from lightweight yet resilient materials, step-over frames can reduce exertion during rides. Their sturdy design allows for swift riding, even on challenging terrains.

Moreover, step-over bicycles are versatile, suitable for various landscapes. If you enjoy uphill climbs and navigating uneven paths while finding it easy to swing your leg over a higher bar, the robust geometry of a step-over frame is ideal.

The Rugged & Reliable

Model R caters to riders of all sizes and genders, ensuring universal acclaim. Tailored for trail and beach adventures, the Model R boasts a front fork suspension and a supremely comfortable seat, with the option to upgrade to a suspension seat post for enhanced comfort.
