# Low-Frame Step-Through Cruisers Electric Bike Company Launched the Model F E-Bike with 24" Wheels By Colin Smith | Published 2022-08-22 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/model-f-e-bike References: [electrek.co](https://electrek.co/2022/08/21/electric-bike-company-launches-us-built-25-mph-folding-electric-bike/) & [electricbikecompany](https://electricbikecompany.com/model-f/)  'Electric Bike Company,' the California-based e-bike manufacturer, recently launched the Model F e-Bike, a low-frame step-through cruiser for relaxed riders. The e-bike features small 24" medium-fat tire wheels and a low frame that result in a low center of gravity, high traction, and a reliably comfortable ride on smooth terrain. The smaller wheels are also a result of the Model F being a foldable bike, which is not a form factor that lends itself well to full-size wheels. The Model F boasts a top speed of 20 miles per hour and a maximum range of 50 miles. For the battery, Electric Bike Company offers a five-year warranty, so customers can feel confident in their purchase even if the battery deteriorates quickly. The bike features a dual-fork suspension system and a single-speed drive system for simplicity and accessibility. Lastly, the Model F is equipped with LED lights for night riding and a well-lit LCD screen for necessary information.
