tl;dr version of the written review:

The VTUVIA Antelope Step-Thru is a folding electric bike that has a style that is becoming more common in the industry. It is similar to the Aventon Sinch Step-Thru, which was reviewed earlier this year. The Antelope Step-Thru is available in two colors, Moss Green and Bonfire Red, and has a starting price of $1,899 USD. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, a 2-year warranty, and free shipping within the contiguous United States.

VTUVIA is a company that has a lot of experience in the electric bike market. They primarily manufacture bikes, but have recently entered the North American market with their own branded bikes.

The Antelope Step-Thru is powered by a 750-watt hub motor in the rear wheel. It can reach a top speed of 25 mph with the thumb throttle or pedal assist. This makes the Antelope Step-Thru a Class 3 electric bike. In some configurations, it may be shipped as a Class 2 electric bike, which has a top speed of 20 mph.

The Antelope Step-Thru has a 48 volt, 14 amp hour battery that is located in the main tube of the bike. It is a locking, removable battery with 672 watt-hours. VTUVIA estimates that the battery has a maximum range of 52 miles when using pedal assist level 1. With a mixture of throttle and pedal assist, the range is probably closer to 30-40 miles. Using only the throttle, the range is around 20 miles.

The Antelope Step-Thru has a frame that weighs almost 70 pounds and has a payload capacity of 350 pounds. It has internally routed wires, which is not common for folding electric bikes. The charging port is located higher on the frame, making it easier to access. The bike has very approachable geometry, with a standover height of 16 inches and a reach of 20 inches. It can fit riders from 5’1" to 6’1" according to VTUVIA. The total length of the bike is 65 inches and it has a folded size of 26 inches by 34 inches by 12 inches, which makes it easy to store in a trunk or back seat. The Antelope Step-Thru has attachment points for a front basket and a rear rack, as well as a bottle cage on the seat tube.

The Antelope Step-Thru has a suspension fork with 70-80 mm of travel and adjustable preload. It also has a suspension seat post with 40 mm of travel. The saddle is comfortable and the tires are 26 inches by 2.35 inches with a good tread. The tires are puncture resistant and have reflective stripes on the sidewalls.

The Antelope Step-Thru has a large, easy-to-read display that shows the battery level, speed, distance, and other information. It is located in a good position on the handlebars and is easy to operate.

The Antelope Step-Thru has a thumb throttle and seven levels of pedal assist. It also has a walk-assist feature, which is useful for walking the bike when it is folded. The controls are easy to use and the bike responds well to input.

Overall, the VTUVIA Antelope Step-Thru is a good electric bike with a lot of features. It has a powerful motor, a good battery range, and a comfortable ride. It is also portable and easy to store.
