Unlike standard bicycles, e-bike manufacturers are much more keen on deviating from standard frame designs, as an electric motor gives any rolling two-wheeler a huge advantage. A lot of times, modern e-bikes focus on utility, comfort, and safety, making the joy of cycling accessible to a much wider audience.<\/p>\n<p>Take for example the Van Raam Balance. At a glance, the Balance actually looks like a standard cruiser bike that landed one too many jumps. However, any notions of this being a standard bicycle with a tacoed frame are immediately thrown out the window upon closer inspection. You see, the Balance\u2019s design is as deliberate as it gets. Van Raam\u2019s Balance is meant to be as safe as possible, so much so that the company claims that it\u2019s the safest two-wheeled e-bike on the planet.<\/p>\n<section class=\"trinity-skip-it\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\" data-widget=\"image\" data-border=\"\" data-id=\"6929443\"><picture loading=\"lazy\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/ZnKze2\/s1\/uniquely-styled-van-raam-balance-e-bike-claims-to-be-safest-in-the-world.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 1025px)\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/ZnKze2\/s3\/uniquely-styled-van-raam-balance-e-bike-claims-to-be-safest-in-the-world.webp 1x, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/ZnKze2\/s2\/uniquely-styled-van-raam-balance-e-bike-claims-to-be-safest-in-the-world.webp 2x\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/ZnKze2\/s1\/uniquely-styled-van-raam-balance-e-bike-claims-to-be-safest-in-the-world.jpg\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 1025px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/ZnKze2\/s3\/uniquely-styled-van-raam-balance-e-bike-claims-to-be-safest-in-the-world.jpg\" alt=\"Uniquely Styled Van Raam Balance E-Bike Claims To Be Safest In The World \" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/ZnKze2\/s3\/uniquely-styled-van-raam-balance-e-bike-claims-to-be-safest-in-the-world.jpg 1x, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/ZnKze2\/s1\/uniquely-styled-van-raam-balance-e-bike-claims-to-be-safest-in-the-world.jpg 2x\" width=\"16\" height=\"9\"\/> <\/picture><\/section>\n<p>Quite a hefty claim, sure, but it looks like the Balance has the goods to back it up. It basically takes the already easy-to-ride design of a step-through bike, and makes it even easier to hop onto. The frame plunges really deep, and the pedals are positioned far forward. You\u2019ll also notice that the seat tube is set at an incredibly slack angle. What this does is it keeps your center of gravity low, while still allowing you to use your legs\u2019 full range of motion to pedal forward. It also means you can plant both feet firmly on the ground at a moment&#8217;s notice.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, those fond of sportier machines, such as myself, won\u2019t exactly be attracted to the Balance. However, it\u2019s clear that this machine has its place. It\u2019s perfect for older folks looking to keep up the two-wheeled lifestyle, as well as people recovering from injuries, or those who struggle to balance a standard bicycle. It\u2019s also a super laid-back <a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/news\/category\/electric-bicycles\/\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\" data-type-id=\"8\" data-params=\"%7B%22section_route%22%3A%22news%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22electric-bicycles%22%7D\">e-bike<\/a> that could come as a breath of fresh air for a sporty cyclist looking to unwind on a relaxing ride.<\/p>\n<section class=\"relatedContent-new trinity-skip-it\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\" data-widget=\"related-content\" data-widget-size=\"content\" data-params=\"%7B%22type_id%22%3A0%2C%22title_id%22%3A%22%22%2C%22items%22%3A%5B%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22618415%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22BMW%20Announces%20%241.7%20Billion%20EV%20Investment%20In%20South%20Carolina%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22bmw-ev-investments-south-carolina%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22is_video%22%3A%220%22%2C%22images%22%3A%7B%22s5%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.motor1.com%2Fimages%2Fmgl%2FRqnkXg%2Fs5%2Fbmw-group-announces-1.7-billion-usd-investment-to-build-electric-vehicles-in-the-u.s..jpg%22%7D%7D%2C%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22618385%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22Gymkhana%20Goes%20Electric%20With%20Audi%20Hoonitron%20In%20Las%20Vegas%2C%20Becomes%20Electrikhana%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22gymkhana-electrikhana-audi-hoonitron-ev-ken-block%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22is_video%22%3A%221%22%2C%22images%22%3A%7B%22s5%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.motor1.com%2Fimages%2Fmgl%2FVzXW37%2Fs5%2Fso2li9bmqp8.jpg%22%7D%7D%5D%7D\">   <\/section>\n<p>The Vaan Raam Balance\u2019s unique design, however, means that it\u2019s not cheap. The most affordable version retails for the equivalent of $1,606 USD, and it isn\u2019t even electric. Add an electric motor and battery, and you\u2019re looking at no less than $3,900 USD for this super safe e-bike. The electric model is packing some decent <a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/news\/category\/technology\/\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\" data-type-id=\"8\" data-params=\"%7B%22section_route%22%3A%22news%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22technology%22%7D\">tech<\/a>, so you\u2019re surely getting your money\u2019s worth. For instance, it\u2019s packing a 490 Wh battery pack and a front-mounted hub motor capable of propelling the bike to a top speed of 15.5 miles per hour. It also claims an impressive range of 51 miles on a single charge.<\/p>\n<div itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" class=\"msnt-photo-thumb-gallery trinity-skip-it inline \"> <meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Uniquely Styled Van Raam Balance E-Bike Claims To Be Safest In The World\"\/> <meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"\"\/> <\/p>\n<div class=\"msnt-photo-thumb-gallery-main-photo\"> <a href=\"\/photo\/6929443\/uniquely-styled-van-raam-balance-e-bike-claims-to-be-safest-in-the-world\/\" class=\"msnt-photo-thumb-gallery-main-photo-box\"> <picture class=\"lazyload\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/ZnKze2\/s4\/uniquely-styled-van-raam-balance-e-bike-claims-to-be-safest-in-the-world.webp 1x, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/ZnKze2\/s3\/uniquely-styled-van-raam-balance-e-bike-claims-to-be-safest-in-the-world.webp 2x, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/ZnKze2\/s3\/uniquely-styled-van-raam-balance-e-bike-claims-to-be-safest-in-the-world.webp 3x\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\"><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/ZnKze2\/s4\/uniquely-styled-van-raam-balance-e-bike-claims-to-be-safest-in-the-world.jpg 1x, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/ZnKze2\/s3\/uniquely-styled-van-raam-balance-e-bike-claims-to-be-safest-in-the-world.jpg 2x, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/ZnKze2\/s3\/uniquely-styled-van-raam-balance-e-bike-claims-to-be-safest-in-the-world.jpg 3x\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/ZnKze2\/s6\/uniquely-styled-van-raam-balance-e-bike-claims-to-be-safest-in-the-world.webp 1x, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/ZnKze2\/s4\/uniquely-styled-van-raam-balance-e-bike-claims-to-be-safest-in-the-world.webp 2x, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/ZnKze2\/s4\/uniquely-styled-van-raam-balance-e-bike-claims-to-be-safest-in-the-world.webp 3x\" media=\"(min-width: 320px)\"><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/ZnKze2\/s6\/uniquely-styled-van-raam-balance-e-bike-claims-to-be-safest-in-the-world.jpg 1x, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/ZnKze2\/s4\/uniquely-styled-van-raam-balance-e-bike-claims-to-be-safest-in-the-world.jpg 2x, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/ZnKze2\/s4\/uniquely-styled-van-raam-balance-e-bike-claims-to-be-safest-in-the-world.jpg 3x\" media=\"(min-width: 320px)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/static\/16x9-tr.png\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Uniquely Styled Van Raam Balance E-Bike Claims To Be Safest In The World \" width=\"16\" height=\"9\"\/> <\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture> <\/a> <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"value\">4<\/span> <span class=\"label\">Photos<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the world of e-bikes, we\u2019ve seen all sorts of weird and wonderful designs on two-wheels\u2014sometimes even more.
