What is an electric bike for men?
Overview of everything that can characterize an electric bike for men: frame shape, saddle, morphological adaptation...
Are open-frame electric bikes only for women?
An electric bike for men is often equipped with a high frame. But in reality, the openness of the frame has little to do with the gender of the rider. In fact, while a bike with an open frame is easier to ride for women who wear dresses or skirts, it can be used by men. Low step-through bikes are therefore practical for gentlemen wearing suits or using their electric bikes in urban settings, where they frequently have to get off and on their EAB. This frame shape is also more comfortable to straddle if you are carrying your child on a carrier.
Features of an electric bicycle frame for men
The real characteristics of an electric bike frame for men lie more in a particular geometry, which suits male morphologies. For example, the horizontal tube is wider, as men's bus is generally longer than women's, which increases the overall size of the frame. Men's electric road bikes also have longer handlebars, to accommodate men's broader shoulders and thus avoid back and trapezius pain.
The saddle of an electric bike for men
Another important element on a male electric bike is the seat. A man's pelvis is not as wide as a woman's and the nerve endings in the male seat are located lower than in women. This explains why we need a saddle adapted to both types of morphology. The saddle of a man's bike is therefore narrower and longer than that of a woman's bike.

All electric bikes can be used by both men and women.

Indeed, EABs weigh more than muscle bikes, and this is something to bear in mind if you're planning to carry your bike up the stairs, for example. The average weight of an electric-assist bike is between 19 and 28 kg (compared with 20 kg for a conventional bike).
