Hi there - I’m new to the world of ebikes and trying to decide between the mini walk thru and runner utility. i don’t need a foldable bike but the mini is on sale for the same price as the runner. The mini has extra bells and whistles which is nice. And, although I don’t plan to use use the all-electric mode exclusively, I do live in a very hilly area. So, it seems like the mini is the better choice.
My only concern is that being vertically challenged (5’), I worry that the upright handle bars may be a bit too far from the seat and I don’t want to retrofit with after-market items. The handle bars on the runner look like they sit closer to the seat.
I'd love some advice as I don’t live close to a brick and mortar store so I can’t see these bikes in person. Thanks so much in advanc!
 
ahh, so not that big a difference. Thanks.
next question - does anyone have a front rack or the front mount basket on their mini? If so, is it odd that the light attaches to the rack and not the bike itself? I probably won’t be using the bike at night so I don’t think it will be a big deal but wanted to ask. Thanks!
