Are you thinking of getting an electric bike? If you're female then as well as considerations like price and efficiency, you'll want to consider the style of frame that you prefer.
Some women are happy with a men's style bike with a high crossbar, but many find a low step-through frame is easier to get onto. Some people use an electric bike to commute to work or between meetings - if you'll be riding your electric bicycle in work clothes then you need to think about how easy the bike frame will make this.
It's also worth noting that many men choose a women's style electric bike because it's easier to get on and off, especially as they get older or have minor mobility issues. So called women's electric bikes are suitable for men too.
An electric bike typically has a rechargeable battery which you plug in when you are at home or another location with an electricity supply. When the battery is charged you can use the motor to assist your cycling. You can also use most electric bikes as ordinary pedal bikes when you have the energy.

Do you think electric bikes are useful for women?
Electric bikes are pretty good. I have one and use it for transporting. However, the speed is not as fast as a motorcycle.
An electric bike? I ride a bike for exercise, so I will not try such a bike.
Electric bikes are not only useful to women but to every one. Thanks for sharing the details.
These women bikes are great. I don't kown how to choose. Anyway, thanks for recommendation
@Brenda. No an electric bike doesn't take all the exercise out of cycling, just as much as you want it too. It means that you can travel further, keep up with someone faster or build up your exercise gradually without worrying about running out of energy miles from home. The pedals still work! And yes, it can definitely save on gas which is important to a lot of people at the moment.
I had never heard of an electric bike. Of course that takes all the exercise out of cycling, but it is a way of saving on gas.
I'm an avid cyclist, never thought of using any type of bike other than that of the body power nature. These electric bikes could prove to be most useful for those with physical challenges, getting out in the fresh air and sun light is great for anyone. Interesting article, thanks for keeping us informed as to the cutting edge bike trends.
With the price of gas these days, and the need to get fit and stay that way. Riding a bike is a great way for women and men alike to travel from place to place.
There is a lot of useful information on electric bikes here may I share it with all my friends? I believe everyone will benefit by riding a good electric or plain old fashioned pedel bicycle these days.
Be well and stay fit, Mike .
