Step-Through vs High Frame - Which One Fits You?
Spoiler: there's no wrong answer - just the ride that feels right.
🚲 Choosing Your Frame
Step-through or high frame - it’s not about categories.
It’s about how you ride, how you move, and what feels right when you roll.
Let’s break it down, Rodi style.
✅ Step-Through: The Chill Cruiser
You’ve seen it. The no-bar, smooth-entry, ultra-easy design that lets you hop on without lifting your leg like a gymnast.
Why it rocks:
Easy to mount/dismount - especially in casual clothes
Great for short trips, city rides, beach runs
Super comfy and stylish (hello, retro)
Perfect for:
People who like to ride in flowy fits, skirts, or shorts
Riders with limited flexibility or joint issues
Anyone wanting to feel cute and chill at the same time
🔧 High Frame: The OG
The high-bar design that’s classic for bikes - more frame, more structure, slightly more aggressive riding stance.
Why it’s awesome:
Stronger frame for heavier loads or more rugged rides
Slightly better for taller riders
Great for longer commutes or faster pace
Perfect for:
Taller riders or those who like a sporty feel
Carrying a mate, cargo, or even a surfboard rack
Anyone who wants that “classic” e-bike look with a bit of grit
