A low or absent top tube makes mounting and dismounting easier. Familiar from Dutch city bicycles, this layout also suits riders carrying luggage, wearing everyday clothes or making frequent stops. Its usefulness is not determined by the rider’s gender.
A low frame opening alone does not tell you how your feet will reach the ground while seated. The Gazelle Easyflow addresses this with a long wheelbase, short seat tube and forward-positioned pedals. This combination is designed to let both feet rest flat on the ground when stopped.
The practical takeaway: assess mounting and seated posture separately when trying such a bicycle. The opening eases movement over the frame; the rest of the geometry shapes the riding experience.
