Geometry: Step-Through eBikes vs eBikes with a Top Tube?
Should you get a step through ebike?
A step through ebike is an ebike without the top bar, which allows you to get onto the bike by stepping through it rather than lifting your leg above the rear seat.
If you are interested in doing jump, then you'll find that a bike with a traditional top bar is slightly lighter. However, for the average rider who is not doing jumps, the weight savings of having the top bar is considered too small to be significant.
Thats why, at Teslica ebikes, we usually recommend step through electric bikes, as they are easier and safer to use.
It must be noted that in some cases, even a traditional ebike with a top bar is designed as step through ebikes, then have a top bar welded onto it, making it slightly lighter
