The Marin Fairfax E Step Thru is designed to make everyday cycling simple, comfortable and enjoyable. Whether you're commuting to work, riding into town, or heading out for a relaxed weekend ride, it combines dependable components with smooth electric assistance to help you arrive feeling fresher.
Its Series 1 Fitness frame is built from lightweight 6061 aluminium and features a low step-through design that makes getting on and off the bike easy. Marin's fitness geometry creates an upright, comfortable riding position that offers good visibility in traffic while remaining efficient for longer rides. Integrated mounts for mudguards, a rear rack and a kickstand make it easy to adapt the bike for commuting, shopping or everyday transport.
The aluminium straight-blade fork keeps the front end light and responsive while including eyelets for mudguards and luggage, adding to the bike's versatility throughout the year.
Power assistance comes from a Bafang 250W rear hub motor that delivers smooth support as you pedal. Combined with the integrated torque sensor at the bottom bracket, assistance responds naturally to your pedalling effort, making hill climbs feel easier and helping you maintain a comfortable cruising speed without feeling overly assisted.
The integrated 360Wh Bafang battery is neatly housed inside the frame, maintaining the bike's clean appearance while providing useful range for daily commuting and leisure riding. Its internal position also helps protect the battery from the elements while contributing to balanced handling.
A Bafang handlebar-mounted LED display and control unit provides clear access to assistance levels and battery information, allowing you to adjust support quickly while keeping your hands comfortably on the bars.
The Shimano drivetrain combines Altus RapidFire shifters with an Acera 8-speed rear derailleur and a wide-range 11-40T cassette. This dependable setup provides plenty of gearing for tackling hills, riding into headwinds or cruising comfortably on flatter roads.
Tektro HDM-275 hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm rotors provide reliable stopping power in wet and dry conditions, giving confident braking performance for urban riding and mixed weather.
Rolling on durable 700c wheels with Vee Tire City Cruz 40mm tyres, the Fairfax E Step Thru offers a comfortable ride with added puncture protection and reflective sidewalls for increased visibility in lower light. The wider tyres also help smooth uneven roads and cycle paths while maintaining efficient rolling performance.
Blending comfort, practicality and smooth electric assistance, the Marin Fairfax E Step Thru is an excellent choice for riders looking for a dependable e-bike for commuting, leisure riding and everyday transport.

* Mountain bikes are sized differently to road bikes. Typically, they are sized in inches as the first MTBs were produced in the USA. European brands like Lapierre and Haibike like to use centimeters for all their bikes. The measurements of their mountain bikes doesn’t match their road bikes but is like a simple conversion from the inches measurement. This is why we have included cm measurements in brackets for the e mountain bike column.
