10 Reviews: Best Electric Bike for Short Female (Apr 2024)

If you’re on a tight budget and looking for the perfect bike for your minimum height, this Swagcycle EB-5 makes a great pick. It costs less than $500 and allows you to explore your neighborhood for up to 15 miles on a single charge. The best part is that you can stow this foldable bike in any small space by simply collapsing its stem, bending its frame, and folding its pedals.

"... Wow! I am a short woman who is pretty fit but I had to be able to lift my bike up into my truck to get it out to those lively rural areas. I can handle this bike's weight. 15mph on a bike feels like 70 in a car! Plenty fast for me. ..."

The RadMini 4 is charming with its modern design. But it is the step-thru frame that draws the most attention. It’s recommended for riders ranging in height from 5′ to 5’11, but with such a wide range of heights, make sure the inseam and reach are appropriate for the bike. In addition, this all-terrain-performing lightweight and uniquely agile bike are designed for long-distance touring comfort.

"Very happy with my ebike. This is my second bike. Has plenty of pep! I appreciate the various seat and handlebar adjustments. Excellent value."

The RadMini is a step-through e-bike with low tires and a seat and handlebars that can be adjusted. This bike is a good value for money for riders of all sizes, but it’s particularly good for smaller riders. Despite its mini size, this vehicle packs a punch, with a 750W geared hub motor that can travel up to 45 miles on a single charge. Plus, it estimates how many miles you haven’t driven this year, as well as how much money you have saved on petrol.

"We bought this bike for our daughter in law because she enjoyed my bike so much that I bought last year. She absolutely love it as I do mine.... This bike is the perfect size for people with short legs... LOVE IT and would highly recommend it!"

This e-bike provides the utmost comfort by keeping your body upright and relax for the ride ahead. It offers a low-step frame that makes it simple to get on, a comfy bench, bump-proof shocks, and a simple thumb throttle. It even drives you past the big hill effortlessly with its powerful motor. When the adventure is over, simply fold flat the handlebar and pedal so it won’t take a lot of space.

"We recently purchased both a Comfort (for my wife, 67, 5'-2") and a City for myself (68, 6'-3"). Although my wife has not yet ridden her Comfort, I took it for a spin and found it really smooth even though too short for my height. I think she will find it enjoyable. ..."

Explore your neighborhood in style with this EVRYjourney bike. It comes in three flattering colors: Gold-coral, Jade-straw, and Periwinkle-blue. Furthermore, you can choose between pedal assist and throttle, allowing you to pedal when you want and coast when you don’t. You’ll also love the seat that is packed with foam engineered for serious softness, the extra-wide saddle cradles you like a cloud made of pillows.

"This is the bike I’ve been looking for! It’s so great letting me ride and sit upright!! So comfortable!"

Let us now turn our attention to the Detour IE electric bike by Raleigh, which promises to add a healthy dose of fun to your daily commute. This electric bike has a low step frame that is ideal for riders with minimum height. So, if you don’t want a drop of sweat to pierce your skin, let the motor do all of the work by using the thumb throttle to move the bike entirely under the power of the motor.

Long-distance cycling is no longer exhausting with this Amiti E + 4 from Liv. It comes with a 70 Nm torque SyncDrive Sport Motor and six-speed control settings varying from 50 to 360 percent pedal assistance. Besides, this bike has a lower standover height, making it easier to get on and off. Now you can enjoy the feel of the wind, the warmth of the sun on your skin, and the majesty of the scenery on your ride.

"I LOVE this bike! Absolutely everything about it is fabulous! It is Fun to ride, goes pavement to gravel to dirt and rocks no problem. I can keep up, with a bit of assist, with my husbands riding skill!"

For some of the e-bike on the market, Pedego has taken the low-step down a notch! The Boomerang drops the downtube to pedal height so it has a super-low 9-inch step over height. When jumping on or off the Boomerang, you won’t touch your foot or knee because the battery is now tucked under the rear rack. Perfect for a commute that was just a little too far, a ride with a few too many steep hills, or an everyday ride.

"I bought my Pedago bike, a Boomerang over two years ago. It’s a bright red color plus it’s a step thru so it’s easy to get on and off of. I have over two thousand miles on it and every where I ride everyone comments on my Pedago and asks how I like it. I tell them I LOVE IT. Thanks to Pedago I not only get exercise but I meet a lot of people while out riding my Boomerang bike."

Yep, this one is hella pricey but you’re getting a good warranty, several different frame size options, typically higher-end components (brakes, gears, etc), and local customer service. The Trek Townie Path Go! is for those who want to go farther, ride longer, and climb hills faster. The Bosch SmartphoneHub also connects your smartphone to the COBI Bike app, enabling you to charge it, make calls, listen to music, and more.

Evelo’s Galaxy 500 comes in last on our list. With a small, step-through frame and a 500Wh battery, this pick is simple to handle. The battery is hidden under the rear rack, out of the way of your foot when you walk through the frame. Plus, the Galaxy 500’s smaller 24″ wheels make it one of the simplest models to ride; a perfect option for riders of nearly any height or skill level.

"I love my Evelo Galaxy ebike. I have been on trails and it is so easy to use the pedal assist going up hills. I enjoy biking so much more now."
