Step-through electric bikes

A design of frame which is equally suitable for men and women, the step-through electric bike frame shape makes getting on/off so very much easier. 

A strong, durable design, the step-through has been around since the 1940s and has increased in popularity recently with the surge of interest in functional bike riding.

Our range includes bikes with wonderful "sit up and beg" ride positions made popular by the Dutch and replicated across the world. Some of the range is ideal for tall men and women and come with the curved handlebars which make upright riding so comfortable.

At everyBody eBIkes (Blind Freddy Electric Bikes), we offer step-throughs from entry-level through to top of the range and can also modify flat handlebar configurations on models to suit your preference.
