Sixthreezero Simple Step-Thru 500W Review | One of the Lowest Step-Thru E-bikes Around!

Just as the phrase “beach cruiser” evokes the warm feeling of summer sun and the scent of salt air, the words “Simple Step-Thru” in relation to an e-bike bring to mind relaxation, comfort, and accessibility. In this Sixthreezero Simple Step-Thru 500W review, we discuss the ride feel and real-world performance of this curvy, colorful cruiser.

In our testing, we found that the Simple Step-Thru lived up to its name; this is one of the “step-thru-iest” e-bikes we have ever seen! We found it incredibly easy to mount and dismount thanks to the bike’s wavy, remarkably low down tube, which brings its standover height down to a minimal 10.5 inches.

Are Low-Priced Carbon Frames the Next Big E-Bike Trend?

OFIITO is a new carbon fiber e-bike being sold on Indiegogo. OFIITO claims the e-bike will weigh just 30.2 lbs. (13.7kg), and is built with a 250W brushless, geared hub motor and 360Wh battery. Its biggest point of interest may be its carbon fiber frame—well, that and its $1999 price tag.

Just days into their campaign, OFIITO’s carbon fiber urban racer has already met its minimum funding goal, meaning that everyone who has pledged $1999 will receive their e-bike. Delivery is set for August 2024.
