ELEGLIDE T1 and STEP-THRU electric bike for ladies and gentlemen
Here is the new generation, separate bike design for ladies as well.
I have had an Eleglide roller before, I haven't had a bike yet, but hopefully I can meet one of these once, because more and more exciting two-wheelers are coming from the manufacturer. Now, for example, the introductory campaign for the new generation of bikes, the ELEGLIDE T1 and the T1 STEP-THRU, is essentially the same, except for one huge thing.
The powertrain is the same on the two bikes. Both received 250-watt and both 36-volt and 12,5 aH batteries. The transmission is a 7-speed Shimano with two disc brakes, the engine is 250 watts, and in pedal mode we can go up to 100 kilometers, of course, according to factory data. But this, in this case, may even be nearly true, I’ll write later about why.
The maximum load capacity for both bikes is 120 kilograms, and we get IPX4 water resistance, which unfortunately should be mentioned as a positive, because we can't find any water resistance mark on many bikes. What I haven’t mentioned is that the wheel size is 27,5 inches and most importantly, the front wheel damping is hydraulic and lockable. The latter is interesting if we drive on good quality asphalt.
The difference between the ELEGLIDE T1 and the T1 STEP-THRU is the design of the frame! The one thing is that we finally get the battery hidden in the frame, which makes the electric drive much less conspicuous, more importantly, while the ELEGLIDE T1 is made for men, the T1 is made for STEP-THRU ladies. The frame is classically designed for the top with braces (men) or without braces (ladies). The latter is understandably important for ladies who might be cycling in a skirt.
I’ll be honest, I don’t understand why I had to wait so long for a bike made specifically for ladies. These existed in the more expensive category, but not among the affordable Chinese models. The point is, you already have ELEGLIDE T1 STEP-THRU!
I wrote above about the range that the data provided may even be true. I dare write this because the factory figures are for people weighing 70 to 75 pounds and for a flat trip, while for us, most men are more serious individuals. For ladies, however, 70 to 75 pounds is not an extremely low weight, so they meet this part of the test criteria. The ELEGLIDE T1 STEP-THRU is made for them, so the specified range of 100 Km can be approximately true.
By the end of the price as usual. In the current introductory campaign, we get some discounts, so the price of the T1 is 358 thousand, while the 0T1 STEP-THRU can be ours for 378 thousand. I would add to the price that I wouldn’t say a few of these by default, but over the weekend I visited Decathlon and saw bike prices for plain, non-electric products that I was looking for in the state. I've been looking at bikes in my home shop for a long time.
So based on my weekend experience, I say these are good prices for a good bike. You can find them here:
