Which men's low step through bike does vanRaam have?
At vanRaam, there is one type of low step-through bike available for men. This is the Balance two-wheeler. This bike has a low step-through design and a different seating position. You sit not directly above the bottom bracket, but slightly behind it. This allows you to always have both feet flat on the ground without getting off the saddle. In addition to the low step-through, the low step-through bike from vanRaam offers an ergonomic seating position: the back, shoulders, neck, and wrists are less strained. The benefits of the low step-through men's bike from vanRaam:
Get on and off safely
Extra wide and low entry
Always with two feet on the ground without getting off
More power due to the forward facing kick
Stopping without getting off
Balance low step through bike for men
The Balance men's bike with low step through is specially made for people who are still able to cycle on a bike with two wheels, but still want more security when getting on and off the bike and when making a stop. This men's bike doesn't have a high top tube but instead features an extremely low step-through thanks to its unique frame design. As a result, you barely need to lift your leg when getting on and off the bike. Because of the unique seating position you can always reach the ground when stopping or waiting at a traffic light. The Balance is available in three different frame sizes and with various options and accessories.
If you are looking for more support, then it is possible to choose a low step through bike with pedal support. vanRaam has developed its own pedal support system (Silent System). The Silent System is user-friendly and gives you the opportunity to adjust the level of support individually. Advantages of the Silent System:
It's easy to use
Support can be individually programmed
Very powerful and almost silent motor
High quality and safe battery
Free use of vanRaam e-bike app
What is the difference between a men's bike with low step and a women's bike with low step?
vanRaam's low step through bikes are not specifically designed for men or women. If you look at the appearance and riding characteristics you will see no difference between a men's bike with low entry or a women's bike with low entry. vanRaam looks at the length of the cyclist and uses that information to determine the frame height. With a color of your choice and various options and accessories (such as a special saddle, mirror or speedometer) the bike can be customized to your needs and wishes, so you can create your own men's bike low step bike.
