PATH Plus Step-Thru – The Best Affordable Mid-Drive E-Bike

Introduction:

PATH Plus Step-Thru is surely one of the best affordable mid-drive e-bike, using Bosch Active Line to help go further without hindering the steep slope. PATH comes with the front suspension forks and Kenda BUTIMEN 700x40c tires, so you can go faster on all terrains. If your driving is facing very steep hills, PATH Plus is not your choice because of its maximum torque at just 40 Nm. In conclusion, PATH Plus is the ideal electric bicycle to make the shuttle between the city and the trail.

PROs of PATH Plus Step-Thru Mid-Drive E-Bike:

• There are three frame sizes to suit your body size so you get the best riding position for a comfortable ride.
• BOSCH ACTIVE LINE with a maximum torque of 40 Nm gives a moderate boost on speed, as a result of smooth and quiet driving performance.
• The drive unit fits perfectly into the frame of the bike and its lightness can certainly enable you to ride further with a single load.
• PATH Plus Step-Thru allows you to experience controlled acceleration with minimal pedal resistance when the motor turns off or at more than 20 mph.
• The step-thru e-bike is easy to get on the bike by women riders as well as women may wear a long skirt with ease to get off the bike.
• BOSCH ACTIVE LINE has a back pedal function that facilitates braking and thus guarantees you a safe braking condition.
• The concept of multi-sensor drive unit takes more than 1000 measurements per second can certainly assure a smooth power characteristic.
• Bosch PowerPack 400Wh can certainly assist you to drive further for a maximum range of 50 miles.
• Kenda tires with K Guard Puncture Protection reduce the risk of punctures so that you drive with peace of mind everywhere.
• Although SR Suntour NEX DS E-25 is a lightweight electric bike fork, can give more comfort when riding on the rough road.
• The Shimano Altus M315 with Rapid Fire Plus technology allows you to change speed easily when climbing.
• SHIMANO HG200 12-32 has an adequate gear ratio regardless of speed or climb.
• The HG200 Cassette matches well with KMC chain as a result giving accurate shifting and quiet operation.
• The Fenders will keep you clean splashing water, mud, or dirt when you roll in the wrong weather.

CONs of PATH Plus Step-Thru Mid-Drive E-Bike:

• Headlights and rear lights are not in the package, so you should pay extra if you need to drive at night.
• Installing a rear rack to carry certain necessities is certainly necessary if you use the e-bike for everyday commutes.
• Upgrade from Charger 2A to Charger 3A to reduce charging times.
• I thought BOSCH ACTIVE LINE was a powerful motor for longer range, but I’m not sure the maximum torque of 40 Nm can defeat a very steep slope.
• The price is slightly higher, probably based on the cost of the new BOSCH ACTIVE LINE in order to reduce the total weight under 50 Ibs.

The overall ratings of PATH Plus Step-Thru Mid-Drive E-Bike:

Reviewed by the IZIP BIKES certified buyer, Momma on 14 August 2020 – The overall ratings are 5.0 out of 5.0:

I just got this e-bike and was so excited to ride today with my husband and 20 year olds. I couldn’t keep up with them previously due to some health issues, so I missed out on all the fun. Now I can do the hills and all!

Love the smooth assist. My son in law is a mountain bike racer and winner of many awards, and he was extremely impressed with this bike. He had fun trying out the turbo gear. I just needed the Eco and sport gear ago keep up with the rest. I’m very, very delighted to get this bike and ride again. We had a fun 8 mile ride and lunch outside on a patio bar and grill. Easy!

Our Opinions:

• From this buyer, she proved that PATH Plus has no problem climbing hills at all and in fact she used only the lower assist pedal.
• You can check it out with the seller, can PATH Plus climb all the steep hills when you talk about your dream bike.
• There is no detail on the performance of PATH Plus, when her son drives with the highest level of support to the Turbo pedal.

Conclusion:

When I reviewed the new BOSCH ACTIVE LINE, the pedal assist can adapt very well to the motor thanks to the use of multiple sensors. If your site has no sloping hills above 20 degrees, PATH Plus should have no problem flattening it.

In conclusion, PATH Plus Step-Thru with the new BOSCH ACTIVE LINE is still the best affordable mid-drive e-bike for you to buy. Especially IZIP BIKES provide free shipping of fully assembled bikes to your doorstep. You have no risk of receiving new damaged e-bike parts due to transport.

Do you think the selling price of PATH Plus is right with the new BOSCH ACTIVE LINE which is the powerful mid-drive motor on the market? Your feedback is highly valued.
