FTA: ”The S3 and X3 models are essentially the same under the “hood,” differing only by frame types and wheel sizes. The S3 is designed for riders ranging in size from 170 to 210 cm (5 feet, 7 inches to 6 feet, 11 inches), while the compact X3 fits riders from 155 to 200 cm (5 feet, 1 inch to 6 feet, 7 inches)“

IMO, the only weird thing is that the wheels of the smaller model are only 24”.



Yes, I read that.

So people with body length differences of 40 or 45cm are to use the same bicycle.

I find that hilarious. There's like 20 frame sizes in that range. Most good manufacturers offer at least a dozen.


That's unfortunately not the case for ebikes. I've been looking at ebikes for a while and several highly rated manufacturers only offer 1 size of ebike and are too big for me (e.g. cowboy, propella).


If they only have one size, I wouldn't rate them highly...

Can't be good for your knees and your back.
