Their younger siblings have begun building their own custom “lowrider bikes”. Several manufacturers offer “chopper” style bikes in their cruiser range. These bikes usually feature a lower center of gravity, suspension forks, hot rod paint jobs, and large rear tires. This beachy-looking cruiser has a rear-hub motor that lets you zip along at 20mph, and a down tube-mounted battery that will last up to 62 miles in the slowest setting. In the highest pedal-assist mode, that range drops to 15 miles, making the Simi better suited to slow-speed rolls than high-speed commutes. The step-thru frame makes the Simi suitable for everyone, especially those who are just getting into—or back into—riding.
