What sets the Willow 8 apart?
The Willow 8 is a beast of its own and features an internally geared 8-speed rear hub, hydraulic disc brakes, an aluminum frame, color-matched chainguard and fenders, and internal cable routing. It's a premium, all-weather commuter.
What is a step through bike?
A step-through bike has a low or no top tube, making it easy to mount and dismount. It’s great for comfort, casual riding, riding with no wardrobe restrictions, riding with tall cargo or children, and those with mobility concerns.
What is the difference between the Willow 8, Franklin 3, and Franklin 8?
Great question, and one we are asked often. The Willow 8 is a beast of its own and features an internally geared 8-speed rear hub, hydraulic disc brakes, an aluminum frame, and internal cable routing.
Additionally, you may have noticed that the Franklin 3 and the Franklin 8 are the same price-- this isn't a mistake! The Franklin 3 features a 3-speed internally geared rear hub (hello, super low-maintenance and ultra-durability), while the Franklin 8 features a 1x8 drivetrain with an external derailleur (hello, wider gearing range). There's a trade-off between the two, but the better choice will truly depend upon your use case. You can read more about the similarities and differences here.
Can I mount a child seat or trailer?
Absolutely! Step-through models are well suited for carrying cargo because they're so easy to mount without having to throw your leg over a top tube. This makes mounting a rear child seat a breeze. NOTE: We always recommend using the rear carrier from the child seat manufacturer as it will have been tested for load capacity.
