I will tell you why I need a step thru ebike. Because where I live (Tacoma WA,USA) it rains a lot like about a third of the year. So I have this Veltop attachment that I ordered from France. It has a big front plexiglass Windshield with a canvas cover for over your head.The model that I have is an older version of it that attaches to the rear of the bike and uses multiple fiberglass rods that connect the canvas to the windshield and give it rigidity. However I found that the rods broke too often and I replaced them with a cut steel whip CB antenna which works much better. I had it on a RadRover ebike that I bought used for $400 which was missing its battery. The main problem is that it is high step so it is hard to get on and off the bike. A step through ebike would be the ideal answer for my all weather ebike. Oh other that that it did work fantastic at riding in the rain except for another issue which I solved. I would get road splash spray on my lower legs from the wet road. So I got Rain gaiter leg coverings which worked just great and solved the final problem. I could ride like a king in the rain and would be one of the very few cyclists out there on the road or bike trails. It was wonderful. Again an Open Step ebike would be the final answer.Something to easily get on and off of with my all weather equipment attachments (Leg gaiters and Veltop accessory from France and steel whip antenna mod). Where I ride it's also pretty hilly so my RadRover had 80nm of torque and did pretty well on most hills.Also I learned a trick to take it to 28 mph to keep up with traffic which is legal to ride a Class III ebike in my state as long as the rider is over the age of 16 (I am 62 and a heart patient-using it for aerobic exercise heart patient therapy and fun)

Hello Scott, I too am a Scott great name lol. Just wanted to say love watching your bike reviews you do a really great job touching on everything from what they have how things work how they ride and along with explaining how very thing works. Because of you and all the research I have been doing I have purchased a Gazelle Ultimate C380 HMB myself. This bike is amazing and am looking forward to enjoying many miles to come on it. Thanks again for the great reviews looking forward to watching more.

Hardtails are back! And the step-thru versions are going to get a lot of people back on the fire roads and light trails. Riding the BULLS Copperhead HD Wave made me feel in control on the bumpy gravel roads with the 120mm travel fork from SR Suntour. The CUBE NuRide Pro Allroad is AMAZING! 10-speed drivetrain is all you need with the powerful Gen4 Bosch CX motor.

Rad Rover step through 6 is a great inexpensive fat tire bike . Rad also offers a couple step through bikes that are very good products that are priced more reasonably than the super premium brands you focused on . Yes those brands are the best , but most riders are not spending 3700 to 7000 on a bike that they know from a u tube video. Why don't you make a video on mid range step through bikes , I'd like to see it . What can you tell us about the Norco brand step through e bike . ✌️

The Gazelle Ultimate T10 is what my wife rides...great bike. Workmanship, fit and finish, along with the Bosch motor and Shimano groupo make this bike an outstanding e-bike for street use. Too bad it takes so long (3 to 4 months) to get the Ultimate T10 plus with traditional top tube or I’d have one.

@carlstoutamire95253 жыл бұрын
I believe Ride 1up is a direct to consumer bike. He is going to present bikes that the manufactures opt for retail store fronts so your going to pay 35 to 40% more but it may be worth it if you buy the wrong bike how much is that going to cost?

Great review, as always. The only low step bikes with the Bosch Speed motor are Riese and Muller. Are the 20MPH motors on the Cube, Gazelle and Bulls a disadvantage on these types of bikes, particularly on road?
@FlyRidesUSA4 жыл бұрын
Thanks Chris! Sorry must have missed this one. It all depends on what you're using the bike for. I'd say a 20mph bike is just find if you're commuting 3-5 miles or if it's just for cruising around town on the weekends, but if you're proper commuting, you might want to go with the class 3 28 mph bike.

Carrie Bishop we have the Gazelle Arroyos and their handlebars are fairly high. As he stated in the review, they are easily adjustable and that would bring them even higher. It’s a great bike - very well built! I would suggest taking a test ride though to make sure they are high enough for you. Good luck in finding your perfect fit.
