The EZ Boarding Electric Adds On-Demand Power To A Boomer Favorite.
The EZ Boarding Electric, from Biria, adds a pedal-optional feature to one of the most popular bikes built, specifically, for the boomer and senior market segment.
Lets face it guys. We boomers aren't as limber as we used to be and getting on and off of your bike isn't as easy as it was a few years ago.
This is a comfort/commuter bike that comes fully equipped with raised handlebars, chain guard (if you commute you don't want chain grease on your good clothes), rear rack, and a very unique frame. It gives the rider advantages that you can't find all in one package elsewhere including a step through design so EZ Boarding Bike is more than a just name.It’s a fact!
This bike is designed for men as well as women and the standard version was featured on the NBC's TODAY show "best boomer bikes" segment.
It has no top tube and instead uses wide gussets to stiffen the frame and maintain the needed strength. This makes it extremely easy to mount and dismount. And, you have optional 3 speed, internally geared, rear hub for hassle free shifting.
Another feature is the pedals are positioned slightly forward of the seat post so the rider's legs are fully extended at the bottom of the pedal stroke and yet their feet can be flat on the ground while seated. The pedal forward design results in a bit longer wheelbase than a conventional bike. This, and the raised handlebars result in a nice comfortable seating and riding position.
The 36 volt lithium ion battery is extremely light-weight and compact and is ideal for fast charging and long life.
Sizing could not be simpler. Since there is no top tube, and so much adjustment in the seat position, just follow the manufacturers recommendation according to your height.
It's hard to imagine how this bike could be made more boomer-friendly.
