In the Netherlands, most traffic fatalities still involve cyclists, especially seniors on e-bikes. Research and media reports show the main cause: mounting and dismounting difficulties and unpredictable motor reactions. A high saddle, jerky motor support, or sudden loss of assistance often lead to accidents.
That’s why Astonic developed the Element: a unique e-bike designed for seniors who want to keep cycling safely, comfortably, and with joy.
The Element is not just another step-through bike. Unlike standard step-through models, the Element’s smart frame design allows you to always touch the ground with both feet while seated.
Confidence when stopping suddenly – no more wobbling moments.
Effortless mounting and dismounting – even in unexpected situations.
Lower center of gravity – more stability and control on every ride.
Many accidents happen due to sudden motor surges or cut-offs. The Astonic Element prevents this with its advanced automatic shifting and intelligent mid-drive motor.
Automatic downshifting when stopping – always start in the right gear.
Smooth, predictable assistance without jerks or surprises.
Full focus on the road instead of the controls.
Cycling should remain enjoyable and pain-free. That’s why the Element offers a range of comfort features:
Dropper post: lower your saddle with a simple push of a button at stops.
Suspension seat post: absorbs shocks and vibrations, ideal for longer rides.
Ergonomic handlebar and adjustable posture: less strain on back, neck, and shoulders.
The Astonic Element is engineered with safety in mind:
Reflective decals keep you visible at all times.
Wide, durable tires for maximum grip and balance.
Low center of gravity makes the bike stable and predictable.
With the Element, you ride with confidence and peace of mind – today and tomorrow.
Every Astonic Element is hand-built in the Netherlands. No mass production, but craftsmanship and premium quality designed to last for years. By choosing Astonic, you invest not only in your mobility, but also in a more sustainable future.
