step-through

Easy-entry bike frame

Step-through describes a frame design—typically on bicycles—with a low or absent top bar, allowing the rider to mount by stepping through rather than swinging a leg over: a step-through e-bike, step-through frame.

In computing and debugging, step-through refers to executing code one instruction at a time to trace errors: I'll step through the function to find the bug.
