Sizing & Fit

North Sports currently sells Small (16.5-inch) and Medium (18.5-inch) low-step variants with 700c wheels. There is no verified manufacturer rider-height table for this exact product; measure inside leg and check adjustable saddle height, reach and brake access. A lower frame step helps mounting, but does not replace a fit check. Please ask North Sports if the choice is unclear.

Delivery & Assembly

North Sports currently displays “Expected 4–6 weeks” for this model, but Shopify shows no positive tracked stock and a firm shipment date has not been verified. We will check the exact selected frame size with our supplier before confirming availability or dispatch timing. The displayed estimate should not be treated as a guaranteed delivery date.

Tandem Group Cycles states that standard direct-delivery pedal bicycles are supplied boxed at approximately 85% assembly. Competent final assembly, brake and gear adjustment, torque checks and a full pre-ride safety inspection may be required. Check the current North Sports checkout for any separately offered assembly service and its charge; a fully assembled delivery is not included automatically with the standard boxed option. Contact us before ordering if you need that service confirmed.

Key Benefits

Low-step 6061 aluminium trekking frame makes mounting and dismounting more straightforward
Shimano Tourney 3×7 gearing accommodates more varied town gradients
Fitted chromoplastic mudguards help keep road spray off rider and clothing
Steel rear pannier rack supports compatible bags for errands or commuting
Comfort-focused contact points and reflective-sidewall 700 × 35C tyres suit regular leisure riding

The Dawes Venture 2.0 EQ Lowstep combines an accessible lower-step frame with practical equipment for commuting and everyday travel. The 6061 aluminium trekking frame, swept-back bars, ergonomic grips and comfort saddle support a relaxed riding position on roads, cycle lanes, canal towpaths and maintained paths.

Its Shimano Tourney three-by-seven drivetrain provides a broad choice of gears for flatter roads and moderate climbs. Chromoplastic mudguards and a steel rear pannier rack are fitted as standard, while 700 × 35C reflective-sidewall tyres and alloy V-brakes round out its easy-to-use specification. Dawes does not list integrated lighting with this model, so appropriate lights should be added for riding in low light.
