My wife is 5'1" (155cm) & finds her Woosh Petite fits her perfectly. We are looking for a second e-bike to keep at our second home but unfortunately Woosh no longer sell the Petite. Does anyone have any recommendation for a step though e-bike that would suit someone smaller than average?

I have a Juicy Classic which i have been pleased with for the past 5 years. The same company do a couple of step throughs for smaller people. One is a Facelia with 24in wheels and the other is a Poco. Either may be suitable for your wife.

About the same size as my wife, who is able to ride my Wisper 705, so that is a possibility. If you look at my advert in classifieds section, you will see it there. I added a couple of extra photos of the saddle arrangements for the benefit of another member who was seeking something for a person with short legs. The 2 extra photos were to show how easy it would be, if necessary, to reduce the length of the saddle tube.
Incidentally, Wisper also have a model with 24" wheels, but not in stock it would seem.

Thanks. Your Wisper 705 looks nice but I think it's the 24" wheels that make all the difference for her.

Thanks for the suggestions. The Poco looks nice although not in stock at present.
