Why Choose a Step-Through Electric Bike? Discover the Benefits of the Thunder Step-Through

If you’ve been researching e-bikes, you’ve likely come across two common frame styles: step-through and step-over. While both have their strengths, the Thunder Step-Through electric bike is designed for comfort, convenience, and real-world practicality — especially for urban riders and families.

What Is a Step-Through Electric Bike?

A step-through electric bike features a low-slung frame that allows riders to step through the bike rather than over a high top tube. This design is ideal for:

Shorter riders
Older adults
Riders with limited mobility
Those carrying children or cargo

The Thunder Step-Through is our top-selling model in Richmond because it’s built for accessibility without sacrificing performance.
