    Looking For A Full Suspension Skinny Tire Step Through Commuter

    Im looking for a full suspension, step through commuter ebike. Commuter means a throttle, class 3, and NOT fat tires. The most popular vehicle in history (Honda Super Cub) has 17"x2.25" tires so I think 20" x 2.25" are the closest bike sized tires. Hub drive and cadence PAS are preferred.
