How To Choose Electric Bikes For Women at Sixthreezero

Electric bikes for women are now part of the Sixthreezero catalog. I am excited to say that because there were many factors contributing to this decision.

The first is the change in the American culture of using bicycles for transportation. In the United States, bike lanes are being inserted all over the country. As a result, the terms of how bikes are being used have changed. Ten, fifteen years ago bikes weren't used as much as they are today for transportation. And with electric bike shares popping up in cities people can rent now electric bikes for the day. They can take them around the city and put them back when they're done using them. With all these changes, we knew that we needed to get into the market of having electric bikes for women.

In particular, we chose women because we have a strong contingent of female riders. sixthreezero wanted to be a company focused on bringing an electric bike to women. As a result, we've come out with two models. Our "Around the Block" and our "Every Journey". They are both available in electric versions with 250 watts and 500-watt options. Everything about these bikes suits the woman rider. From its step-through frame to the comfort and ease of mounting and dismounting. It's a great option for women that want to ride ten plus miles on a bike but aren't interested in pedaling long distances.

Women Riding Electric Bikes

This leads to another reason why we started making electric bikes for women. We have realized that more women have begun riding recreational bikes. So we wanted to be one of the important players in bringing electric bikes to this segment for women. Not only are more women beginning to commute via bike. More people, in general, are making this change in their lifestyle. Which is why having an electric motor makes it so much easier. Especially for women that want to get to and from work, or anyone who wants to run an errand. Two of the biggest reasons are more women are riding bikes period And more women are riding electric bikes. Hence there's more opportunities and safety legislation for people to ride bikes.

Sixthreezero's Normal Bikes vs. Electric Bikes

Electric bikes for women differ from our normal selection for one reason. This reason one everyone knows. It's because it has a motor on it. Our design philosophy centers on keeping our tried and true best-selling female models. But doing so in a way that the electric parts of the bike don't overshadow the simplicity and design of our models. Consequentially, we've tried to integrate the motors and the batteries into the bike. While keeping the same design that our customer base has loved throughout the years.

When you look at the models that we have in electric versions for women, the Around the Block and the Every Journey. The only difference between those is the motor and the battery. Plus you won't even notice the motor because it's integrated into the rear wheel. It's so well camouflaged, you might even overlook it. Now, the great thing is on the electric version you have options. You can pedal like a normal bike and not use the motor at all. Or you can kick on the motor when you see fit and can add some throttle. The bike also allows you to pedal with the perk of motor assistance. Thanks to motors our bikes are now:

More versatile
Capable of higher speeds
Can travel longer distances
