Thank you so much. Someone mentioned that "frames with the more horizontal top tube (i.e., cross) tend to be more rigid and thus more efficient for pedaling". If I'm riding it as a bike a lot, should I maybe go for the cross. Also, if my husband (5'8) wants to ride it also ... thinking cross may be better. Do you think the cross will be too big for when I get to a stop?? Again, any input is GREATLY appreciated.
Warmly,
Shawna
Hi Shawna,
The tube gauging on these bikes are huge enough to accommodate the extra load.
Although it is true that top tube helps in maintaining the rigidity of the frame, step-through frames have been around 100 years or so.
How these frames are welded, what kind of frame material is used and the QC matters a lot as well.
You get 5 years warranty on both bikes. Actually, my friend
@eDean (Dean) has a Neo Jet and he sold his Pedego City Commuter to get this.
He did quite a bit of searching before he purchased the Jet, so he can chime in and help you with any specific questions regarding the height. He had the exact same problem with top tube being higher.
My thoughts - Neo Jet but just test ride it and decide for yourself.
Cheers
