What are the differences between men's and women's electric bikes?
Women have a slightly different physiognomy to men. As an electric bike should be as close as possible to the perfect position, the geometry and some components need to be adapted. One particular point is a shorter top tube than on a men's EAB, as women generally have a shorter torso.
Today, it's a little old-fashioned to associate women's bikes with low frames - also known as open frames or goosenecks - as men may also prefer them. Nonetheless, women often continue to prefer them by reflex.
Everyone will appreciate the easy straddle and the often passive position (saddle low in relation to the handlebars) that allow for an upright back, and therefore comfortable riding. Ergonomic saddles (wide, padded, sometimes suspended) and curved handlebars are other preferences on women's electric bikes.
