Why Choose a Step-Through E-bike?
The step-through design is more than just a convenience.
Easy Mounting: The signature low frame on our Nephele and H3 models allows you to simply "step through" to get on and off, which is ideal if you have stiff joints, wear business attire, or are carrying a backpack.
Stability at Stops: The low center of gravity and easy-access design give you better balance and confidence when you stop at lights or crosswalks.
Confidence for All Riders: The simple, accessible design makes step-through ebikes highly recommended for seniors and beginners.

The Difference Between Pedal Assist and Throttle
When you ride a step-through electric bike, you have two ways to engage the electric motor. Understanding the difference helps you maximize your ride distance and control.
1. Pedal Assist (PAS): This system uses a speed sensor to detect when you are pedaling. When engaged, the motor gently boosts your effort.
The H3 and Nephele models use one level of pedal assist. This is the most efficient way to travel long distances, as it conserves the battery.
Both models have a max pedal-assisted range of 25 miles.
2. Throttle (Zero Start): The throttle (a twist grip on the right handlebar) allows you to accelerate the bike without pedaling at all.
Use the throttle when starting from a stop sign or quickly getting up to speed.
Using the throttle constantly will drain the battery much faster than using pedal assist.
