# Best step-through electric bikes Source: https://pedalandvolt.co.uk/best/best-step-through-electric-bikes Publisher: Pedal and Volt. Picks are based on what the Amazon listings state, not on hands-on testing. Method: https://pedalandvolt.co.uk/how-we-pick A step-through frame drops or removes the top tube, so you can get on without swinging a leg over the saddle. That helps riders with stiff hips or knees, anyone riding in a skirt or coat, and anyone who stops and starts a lot in town. The frame shape is only half the story, though. A low-step bike still has to suit your height, carry its battery without becoming too heavy to wheel into a hallway, and keep to the UK limit of a 250 W motor with assistance cutting out at 15.5 mph. This guide compares five step-through e-bikes on the facts their listings give: motor, battery, wheel size, weight and the rider height range. None of the listings gives a standover height, so check the frame size against your inside leg before buying. ## Products ### 1.
