Are e-bikes good for seniors and older riders?

E-bikes are excellent for seniors — the pedal assist reduces joint stress while maintaining the cardiovascular and mental health benefits of cycling. Step-through frames eliminate the need to swing a leg over the top tube. Low-step models with comfortable upright geometry, wide tires for stability, and lower assist speeds (Class 1) are ideal. Many riders in their 70s and 80s use e-bikes daily.
