An electric bike makes daily life easier, whether for commuting to work, running errands, or enjoying a relaxed weekend tour. For users who prioritise comfort and safety, a step-through e-bike is an option worth considering. The low-step frame makes getting on and off uncomplicated and safe, even with luggage or in the hustle and bustle of city traffic.
As your Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer, my job is to provide you with clear and objective information. This article presents a selection of models and explains the key features you should look for when choosing a suitable electric bike for the city.
The selection of e-bikes is vast. To make an informed decision, a few technical aspects are crucial. Here are three key points to guide you.
The most distinctive advantage of a step-through model is its wave frame. This allows for effortless mounting and dismounting without having to lift your leg high. This increases safety, especially during frequent stops at traffic lights or in city traffic. A women's e-bike with 28-inch wheels offers a good balance of a smooth ride and agility. Look for an upright riding position, supported by an adjustable stem and an ergonomically shaped handlebar. This posture relieves strain on your back and wrists and provides a better overview in traffic.
For use in the city and on flatter routes, the combination of a front-hub motor and an internal gear hub has proven effective. An e-bike with a front-hub motor provides gentle assistance and creates a feeling of being pulled along. These motors are often discreetly integrated into the front wheel hub.
An e-bike with an internal gear hub is particularly low-maintenance, as the entire gear mechanism is sealed and protected from dirt and the elements. Another practical advantage: you can also change gears while stationary, which is very useful at traffic lights.
The battery capacity, measured in watt-hours (Wh), largely determines the range of your e-bike. For daily trips and longer excursions, an e-bike with up to 100 km of range is a good benchmark. Note that the actual range depends on many factors, including the selected assistance level, terrain, rider weight, and tyre pressure. A removable battery is practical as it can be easily taken indoors for charging or for storage during winter.
Based on the criteria mentioned above, we have compiled a selection of models that stand out for their practical features for everyday use.

The main advantage lies in comfort and safety. Getting on and off is significantly easier, which is particularly beneficial in city traffic with frequent stops, when wearing skirts, or for those with physical limitations. It provides a secure riding feel and makes handling the bike easier in everyday situations.
An internal gear hub is considerably lower-maintenance compared to a derailleur system. All moving parts of the gearbox are sealed in a housing on the rear wheel hub, protecting them from dirt, water, and impacts. This reduces the need for cleaning and adjustment and increases the longevity of the components.
