Beaumont City Bike Step — Step-Through 7-Speed: $300
This bestseller is a sturdy and clean-looking city bike. It has a Euro-style step-through frame for a classic (and accessible) design. The Beaumont bike frame is made from high-tensile steel, and the seven-speed Shimano drivetrain is just enough to tackle small hills and the flats during city rides.
Other city-friendly features include full-wrap fenders, a rear rack for holding essentials, and the ease of Shimano RevoShift twist-grip shifters. Bonus points for all the color options.

Beaumont Rev 2 City Electric Bike — Step-Through: $1,000


This is essentially the Beaumont you see above with an electronic assist, complete with a step-through frame, ergonomic padded saddle, and handy rear rack. However, there are differences, like the more rounded frame geometry, the built-in headlight, and a painted bike rack.
The Beaumont Rev helps you tackle everyday urban adventures with five-level pedal assistance, full throttle use up to 20 mph, and a range of up to 38 miles. That’s likely enough for your daily commute and errands on the way home. Grooved, high-volume tires provide a safe, cushioned ride as you cruise over bumps and cracks with ease.
