I know nothing about e-assist, only that it exists, so thanks for the terminology! I googled it and learned a ton. I also have the information of a guy locally who will do e-assist retrofits, so I was thinking to start there.

I did notice an increase in step-through frames when I recently visited the R&E website. Mine is not, I have a traditional horizontal top tube. I do love step-through frames, though. My folding bike essentially has that feature. It can be a bit tougher to get my lock around both the rear wheel and enclosed part of the frame, though. Maybe I just need a different lock.
