Despite the clear environmental and economic benefits in riding a bike to work, many people don't feel confident on typical commuter bikes; the Elby 9-Speed e-bike is designed to suit as many different body types as possible, making it a great choice for anyone with an urban commute to tackle every day.
The Elby 9-Speed has a cruiser frame (i.e. it has no horizontal cross bar), so it's suitable for riders with different degrees of mobility. Since it's an e-bike, it can also assist riders with the difficult aspects of their commute, like climbing hills — another advantage for those with limited mobility or fitness. Further, the frame is constructed from a lightweight aluminum alloy, so it weighs in under 50 pounds despite its relatively large profile.
