Step-Thru

As I crash and fall off my standard bike,I think the time for the step thru has come!( Next time I am at the ortho guys I will get a steriod shot in left knee ignoring my stiff neck and numb hands);)
 
Lithuania is another EU country that like Portugal, Romania, and Poland, has received investment in recent years to build factories for making and assembling e-bikes, motors, and batteries. Two such models are below:

Batribike Gamma-S. Made in the Baltik Vairas factory in Lithuania which also assembles e-bikes for the Dutch Pon.Bike group. The Gamma-S model made for UK brand Batribike uses the Danish Promovec mid-drive motor.

Pashley e-pronto. The UK brand recently switched motor supplier, previously the e-pronto had the option of a Pendix mid-drive. The Bafang BBS01b mid-drive has been a popular choice for converting the Pashley Pronto pedal bike, and older Pashley Mailstar postal bikes, so it's great you can now buy them new from the factory pre-converted.

Lemmo One ST, German single speed, with a rear hub motor (40Nm) that can disengage with a clutch so the bike can be ridden without the battery as a pedal bicycle.

Get a dropper post. If fall off your bike when stopped. If you fall off underway I doubt step thru would help, don't have time to dismount before your are on ground.
