Unique riding characteristics low step through bike Balance

1. Easy to get on and off because of the low step through

The frame of the Balance is designed to provide the lowest possible entry. You don’t have to lift your leg high to get on the bike. Once you have your legs both on a side of the bike, you pull the bike forward until the saddle is positioned beneath you so you can easily sit down.

2. Always with both feet on the ground

One of the unique characteristics of the low step through bike Balance, is that you can always stand with both feet flat on the ground when you’re on the bike. So, you don’t have to balance on your toes when you’re standing still at a traffic light for example. Instead, you can stand firmly with both feet on the ground without having to get off. This is due to the unique bike frame where you sit diagonally behind the bottom bracket and therefore sit slightly lower instead of on top of the bottom bracket as is the case with a regular two-wheel bike.

3. Forward pedal motion

Because of the unique frame, whereby the saddle is mounted slightly behind the bottom bracket, you make a forward pedal movement while cycling. With this way of cycling you can give more force with your legs than when you sit above the bottom bracket and make a downward pedal motion like on a regular two-wheel bike.
