10 Step-Thru Ebikes For Consideration

[Ebiker33]

So a few months ago I made a list with Bafang Ultra motors.
I thought this might be of use as well.

1)Watt Wagon Ultimate Commuter Pro
Watt Wagon
At around 5K plus it is still development slated for release late Q4 2020.

2)DOST DROP
DOST
At $2700 this is a pretty good Ebike

3) RIZE Leisure Step
RIZE
At $1699 this has a cruise control throttle

4)RadRover Step Thru 1
RAD Power Bikes
At $1499 a great value

5)Sondors LX
SONDORS

Full suspension step thru is rare

9)R & M Homage
RIESE & MULLER
Very nice FS Ebike Expensive

10)TREK Verve+ Lowstep
TREK
$2499, one of there lower priced Ebikes, looks nice to me...but solid forks

I know there are more out there, but this is a good starting list if you were looking with all different price points

Well, of course, the Trek Allant+7 Lowstep for around $3,600 has the Bosch Performance Line CX that, with update, provides 85Nm of torque. Great ebike in my humble opinion.

I re-tested a Specialized, Trek Berve 3, and what I have ordered the Trek Allant 7. My knees liked it the best. Went ahead and ordered one for my wife too

I'm considering buying an e-bike for myself and my wife and we both want a step through. I'm curious looking at number of lists of "best" bikes that I rarely see Pedego products. We recently visited the local Pedego store and were very impressed with their selection and the quality of the bikes.

Pay no attention to “best” lists except to help set your expectations on feature sets, functionality, etc.
IMHO, the bikes you can see and test that have a real shop with good ownership are worth more as long as they suit your purposes and have a good reputation. My Trek Allant+7 wasn’t on any “best” list but there a LOT of Trek shops in my area and it was, according to Trek, the Dutch Ebike of 2020. It’s been everything I want in an ebike and has been solid, reliable and a blast to own. We liked it so much that we bought a Lowstep version for my wife and she loves hers.

@Ebiker33 This is a good list of lovely quality bikes.

We went with a Lectric XP Step Thru...500W (800W+ peak) brushless geared rear hub, at the semi-disposable sticker of $899.

EBR Review (Sister model):

We are going to de-badge and lock it outside and just bring in the battery, which is not something we would consider with a $3,600 bike.

That's the real-world, medium-security-risk, crux for us: can we leave this shiny, pretty 65lb thing locked up somewhere, and still expect it to be there when we get back?

How about the new Frey CC fat? It is with fat tires, actually I'm not quite sure why step-through with fat tires?

Soft tires for shock absorption and floatation. Step thru is nice for shorter riders, and urban settings. That Frey looks like the crankset is biomechanically awkward - that rotating axis is too far back. Even the Lectric is somewhat awkward that way. Best to ride before you buy, if you can.

 

[Alaskan]

The new Evelo Omega is a powerful step through with 750/980 watt - 115 Newton meter Japanese Dapu motor with cadence, torque and speed sensors and brake motor shut off (also activates a rear brake light). It has a carbon belt and Enviolo CVT hub with Automatic, cadence based, hands free shifting. There is a second battery option that comes with a two tier rear cargo rack. Solid build quality and great company for service.
