More Riding Fun Thanks to Perfect Equipment and Fit
The name says it all: women's electric bikes are perfectly adapted to the requirements of female cyclists - in all respects. This applies to both the frame and the components. And there are also often different preferences when it comes to design, which the manufacturers want to cater to with different fashion colors. But more on that later.
The first big difference between women's electric bikes and men's electric bikes is the frame size. As women are statistically smaller on average than men, they also need smaller frame sizes to choose from. Women's electric bikes are therefore usually available in sizes from XS or 44, while men's models start one size larger. City electric bikes and trekking e-bikes for women are also available in many step-through models, while specific men's e-bikes usually come with the classic diamond frame shape. However, depending on taste and the right frame size, men and intersex people can also ride electric bikes for women,
The smaller frame sizes on average also have an effect on the other components. Handbars and handlebar grips must also match the size to ensure the right ergonomics. It should also be possible to adjust the reach of the lever blades and shifters to fit smaller hands. Despite the smaller dimensions of most electric bike components for women , rechargeable batteries with the same range can usually be integrated into the frame as usual. Many suppliers also equip women's electric bikes in small sizes with 27.5 inch wheelsso that the riding characteristics of the small frame sizes are similar to those of the larger frames.
There are also clear differences in the saddle. This is because the female anatomy differs significantly from the male anatomy. Studies show that women sit more on the genital area than men when bike riding. In addition, the female pelvis tilts forward more than that of men. In men, on the other hand, the pressure on the sensitive perineal area is further back. Women's electric bikes are therefore generally equipped with a women's bike saddle.
Buying Advice - These E-Bike Categories Are Available for Women
There are specific electric bikes for women in almost all bike categories in which bikes with electronic assistance are available. We have listed the most important categories below:
- E-mountain bikes for women: As riding characteristics are crucial, you should make sure that the geometry is unchanged on small frames - this is often made possible by smaller wheels. Air suspension elements can be optimally adapted to the weight of small female riders.
- E-touring bikes for women: Depending on your taste, you can choose between step-through and diamond frames. For longer tours, make sure you choose a saddle that fits you well and that the cockpit is ergonomic.
- E-city bikes for women: Step-through frames and an upright riding position offer a high level of comfort. Features such as hub gears and belt drive also ensure maximum robustness for everyday cycling. Make sure you choose a good saddle for women that offers good cushioning for the cobblestones in the city center.
- Electric road bikes and gravel e-bikes for women: In this sporty segment, the right frame size is particularly important. Don't buy a bike that is too big! Light electric bikes with a smaller rechargable battery can also be an interesting option.
- Electric cargo bikes for women: Here, too, there are many models with a low step-through. This allows you to get off quickly if you are traveling with heavy loads or children.
- S-pedelecs for women: There are also models of fast S-pedelecs with easy entry for high comfort. Make sure you have a good saddle for women for longer rides.
