It can be difficult to shop around searching for an electric bike to suit you if you are a shorter and it may be tricky to find the right one. We have put together a list of electric bikes, of different types, to suit small riders. Electric bikes are heavier than regular push bikes due to the additional battery, motor and controller. Also, they’re motorised to increase your acceleration so it’s important to have complete control of them. Mounting and taking off from a stand still on a heavy electric bike that is not designed for your height can be awkward and potentially dangerous. So, you’ll want a bike that you can confidently handle and one that is comfortable to ride. It is important to ride a bike well suited for your height and weight and that’s even more important if you're choosing an electric bike. Ordering Online We have selected a list below of electric bikes that we have available which are suitable for riders under 5 ft 3. For every bike on our list you can find out the dimensions of the bike and the height of the seat above the ground. You can also find out the reach so you know how far your arms will be out in front of you to hold the handlebars. With all this information, you can be confident that you are ordering a bike that is suitable for your height. If you receive a bike that turns out to be too big for you, you are covered by our 14-day return policy. Our returns policy allows you to receive the bike, check that the bike is the right size for you and then return if it is not. This is subject to the terms set out in our returns policy so please check that out for more details.
