Size Matters! How to Pick the Perfect Bike Frame for Your Electric Cycle

Choosing the right bike frame size is like picking the right pair of jeans. Too tight, and you’re in for an uncomfortable ride; too loose, and you’ll be swimming in fabric (or in this case, metal). But don’t worry, we have a short and simple guide for you. At EMotorad, we make sure your electric biking experience is as smooth as possible, starting with the perfect frame size.

So, gear up, and let’s dive into the world of bike frame sizes!

First things first—why does frame size even matter? Well, if you’ve ever tried riding a bike that’s too big or too small, you’ll know the struggle is real. A bike that fits like a glove makes your ride more comfortable and sure you’re pedalling efficiently and safely. Plus, when you’re zooming around on one of EMotorad’s sleek electric cycles, you want to look good doing it, right? 

At EMotorad, we offer frame sizes that hit the sweet spot—16”, 17”, and 18”. Not too big, not too small, but just right! But how do you know which one is perfect for you? Let’s break it down.

If you’re on the shorter side or prefer a more compact ride, the 16” frame might be your new best friend. It’s ideal for riders who like to stay active, swerve those sharp turns easily, and navigate through crowded streets like a pro. Plus, with the added boost of EMotorad’s electric power, you’ll be zipping around town with zero effort.

Here are the 16-Inchers in our collection:

Doodle V3: A high tensile 16” aluminium alloy 6061 frame makes for a versatile but sturdy ride with a foldable feature to carry and store even in congested spaces.

T-Rex Air: Its high-tensile 16.5” steel frame promises comfort and a chic look while offering a relaxing journey for every rider.

The 17” frame is a perfect middle-ground for those looking for a balance between agility and comfort. It’s great for riders who want the swiftness of a smaller frame but with a tad more room to breathe. Whether you’re cruising through city streets or taking on a longer commute, the 17” frame offers the best of both worlds with EMotorad’s signature electric boost to keep you going strong.

Our sole 17-Incher include:

X2: The high-tensile 17” steel frame makes it highly versatile for both men and women. The compact, sleek display and powerful motor let you stay one step ahead at every turn!

Feeling a bit more ambitious? The 18” frame is here to answer the call. This size is perfect for taller riders or those who like a bit more space to stretch out. It offers a stable, comfortable ride that’s perfect for longer journeys. It’s like riding on a cloud—but with wheels!

We have a long list of 18-Inchers in our collection:

Legend O7 MSD Edition: The 18” frames start strong with MSD’s pick - a culmination of speed, style and comfort. It is ideal for long joyrides and also gives you the acceleration and throttle effect, as per your need!

X1: With an 18” high tensile steel frame, it offers both simplicity and comfort for your daily coffee runs, off-road endeavours, and everything in between.

X3: This 18” steel frame comes with an integrated battery and a high-performance rear hub motor making it the perfect e-commute partner at every turn.

EMX+: This 18” aluminium alloy frame is coupled with 5 riding modes and a 13Ah battery for a comfortable and premium ride.

Now, how do you know if you are a 16”, 17”, or 18” kind of person? Don’t worry; it’s easier than figuring out your shoe size. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Grab a Tape Measure: Yes, the same one tailors use to get your size just right!

2. Measure Your Inseam: Stand against a wall, feet slightly apart, and measure from the ground up to your crotch. Yep, we’re getting personal.

3. Match It Up: Now, take that measurement and use it as a guide. If your inseam is on the shorter side (think 26” to 29”), the 16” frame is probably your jam. If you’re rocking a longer inseam (around 30” to 33”), the 18” frame is calling your name. If anything in between, go for the 17” frame.

Finding the right frame size is step one, but don’t forget that your e-cycle can be fine-tuned to suit your unique style. Here’s how to get your EMotorad electric cycle to feel just right:

• Saddle Height: Adjust your saddle so that when you’re sitting, your leg has a slight bend at the knee when the pedal is at its lowest point. This is to make sure you’re pedalling efficiently and comfortably.

• Handlebar Position: You don’t want to be hunched over like Lingesan or sitting too upright like you’re on a Sunday stroll. Find that sweet spot where your arms have a slight bend, and you feel in control.

You wouldn’t buy a car without taking it for a spin, right? The same goes for your electric cycle. If possible, take your EMotorad electric cycle for a quick roundabout before making a final decision. Feel the ride, check the fit, and make sure it’s the perfect match.

Even the pros can make mistakes, but with EMotorad, we’re here to steer you in the right direction. Here are some common pitfalls to avoid:

• Going Too Big or Too Small: Don’t let your ego get in the way. Choose the size that fits, not the one you think “looks” the best.

• Ignoring Adjustments: Your bike is adjustable for a reason. Take the time to tweak the saddle and handlebars to your liking.

• Skipping the Test Ride: We get it, you’re excited. But trust us, a quick spin can save you from a world of discomfort later.

Choosing the right bike frame size doesn’t have to be a headache. At EMotorad, we provide easy-to-navigate sizing options and with our generous tips, you’ll be riding off into the sunset in no time—whether you’re on a 16”, 17” or 18” frame. Remember, it’s all about finding what feels right for you.

So go ahead, pick your size, and get ready to electrify your ride. At EMotorad, we’re all about making biking fun, easy, and oh-so-stylish. 

Happy riding!
