The Easy Boarding with the Schachner Pedelec drive unit is the most inexpensive Pedelec in the test. It comes complete with a deep step-thru frame and a low center of gravity.

Out of the Pedelec Variations (only pedal sensor driven or pedal sensor and twist grip throttle controlled) we recommend the ones equipped with the twist grip throttle. The motor system does not engage right away on take-off, but gains power as pedaling increases, and at times the motor is so powerful that pedaling almost becomes unnecessary.

It is possible to add a 288 Watt battery on the rear rack, which together with the initial battery would provide a range of about 43 km.

Pros:
+ Extremely powerful on hills.
+ Very deep step-thru frame and low center of gravity.

Cons:
- Noisy gears.
- Battery must be lifted using two hands.
