Best Electric Bikes
Looking for the best electric bike for your lifestyle and budget? As of today, we have reviewed 1229 electric bicycles. EBR conducts the industry’s most complete and objective reviews. Reviewing electric bikes is all we do. Since 2012, we have helped millions of people find and choose the best ebike for their needs and budget. Please note that this long-run list of best ebikes has gone out of date, and I’m focused more on individual categories which are linked from the navigation menu above. I am leaving this page up because many of the models are being carried forward in some form, and I figured it might still be useful for some people :)

Best Affordable Electric Bikes of 2024
Budget conscious? Here are my top picks for best affordable electric bikes of 2024. You can have confidence in the capabilities of these ebikes. You’ll notice that I don’t go too cheap with these winners, because I’ve found that the very cheapest products do not use reliable or replaceable parts, and they usually lack warranty and customer support. My chosen ebikes have more dependable motors, batteries, and drivetrains. When comparing affordable ebikes, it’s wise to rely on common sense; “you get what you pay for” and “if something seems too good to be true, it probably is”. These top three picks are summarized below. For more details, including why I chose each model, check out my full list of the best affordable electric bikes.
Rad Power Bikes RadCity 5 Plus Step-Thru Review
An approachable step-thru version of the proven RadCity hybrid electric bike featuring frame, wheel, brake, and battery upgrades for its 5th generation. Available in black or white color schemes, the step-thru offers lower standover and minimum saddle height, but introduces some frame flex. Adjustable angle stem, ergonomic grips, hybrid tires, and locking suspension fork provide fit and comfort. The rear rack is now removable, and positioned so the saddle won't collide in low positions.. A growing fleet of mobile service vans and storefronts in the US, Canada, and Europe…...
Aventon Ramblas EMTB Review, 2024
Aventon has just added a new e-bike to their lineup. It’s called the Ramblas and it is an electric mountain bike. We’ve loved the off-road abilities of Aventon’s fat-tire e-bikes, like the Aventure 2, but the Ramblas marks a new chapter in Aventon’s growth as an e-bike brand. In our Aventon Ramblas review we will demonstrate just how capable this e-bike is.. Let’s begin with the basics. The Ramblas is a hard-tail eMTB built around a 6061…...
Rad Power Bikes RadRunner 2 Review
A flexible, approachable, and affordable electric utility bike. Capable of handling up to 300lbs, including a child seat or passenger on the rear rack! Custom sized 20" x 3.3" tires provide stability, comfort, off-road traction, and safety with reflective stripes and puncture protection. Only one frame size, but the extra long 390mm seat post and adjustable handlebar provide lots of fit options.. Available in two colors, internal cable routing looks clean and reduces snags, motor power cable…...
Best Folding Electric Bikes of 2024
Folding electric bikes are popular for their compact design, which allows easier transport and storage vs. full sized ebikes. They usually fold in the middle, at the handlebar, and the pedals, becoming small enough to fit on boats, RVs, and private planes. In addition to providing powered assist, electric folding bikes need to be tough enough to be laid on their sides and jostled around during transport. Whether you’re a traveler or just limited on space, here are our top picks for the best folding ebikes of 2024. See all the details and even more winners on our best folding electric bikes page.
Gocycle GS Review
A futuristic, lightweight, folding electric bike with removable wheels, the magnesium body is lightweight and durable, the battery and motor are almost completely hidden. While much more affordable than the G3, the GS doesn't sacrifice quality for price and…...
Lectric XP Lite 2.0 E-Bike Review – Is This the Most Affordable Quality E-Bike?
The 300W (819W peak, 28Nm of torque) brushless geared hub motor has been updated; it’s now quieter and provides a surprising amount of power, giving the XP Lite 2.0 more pep than expected.. The 375Wh battery offers reasonable, though not amazing, range. It is estimated to offer up…...
Ride1UP Portola E-Bike Review, 2024 – Is This The New Champ?
Ride1UP has delivered incredible value with the Portola; $1000 e-bikes almost never have a collection of parts this good.. The folding frame is small enough to offer a low standover height (18.2 in.) which…...

Blix Vika Travel Review
One of the most compact folding electric bikes around, only weighs ~40 lbs, uses smaller 16-inch tires and shorter 140 mm crank arms, long seat post and telescoping stem conform to a wide range of riders. Efficient 250 watt planetary geared hub motor gets a mechanical advantage from the smaller wheel…...

Optional front tray, baskets, panniers, suspension seat post, child seat, mobile delivery service, and more..

Lectric XP 3.0 Review – Still the Best E-Bike Under $1000?
The XP 3.0 is everything we liked about the XP 2.0, but more, and better. The brakes are hydraulic disc now, motor is more powerful, the drivetrain has more high end, the fork has more travel and the rear rack is now integrated into the frame, increasing this e-bike’s carrying capacity.. The motor still produces 500W nominally, but peak wattage has climbed from 850 to 1000…...
Best Electric Fat Bikes of 2024
Power assist made fat electric bikes the new sensation. Riding on gravel, sand, snow and up hills is fun but requires fat tires, wheels, and frames which all add weight… too much weight for most people to pedal comfortably without the electric assist. There are electric fat bikes of all types with only their large 4+ inch wide sized tires in common, so think first about where and how you will ride. They can go anywhere, do anything, some even fold. See all the details and even more winners on our best electric fat bikes page.
Aventon Aventure.2 E-Bike Review, 2024
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the Aventon Aventure has been imitated (ok, a better word is probably copied) several times the last 2-3 years. With so much competition and brands creating 26” x 4” fat tire ebikes, I was surprised at how the Aventure.2 not only still holds its own vs the competition but is still one of, if not the, best rear hub fat tire electric bikes.. If I’m going to sum this e-bike up in a word, that word is versatility.…...
Rad Power Bikes Radster Trail Review, 2024
I’m blown away with the new Radster Trail from Rad Power Bikes. This is an exciting new model that is as versatile as it is powerful. From the frame to the motor to the wheel and tire choice, this is a terrific new model from one of the most popular makers of e-bikes.. The Radster Trail rolls on 27.5 x 3-in. tires, what they call a mid-fat. I…...
Rad Power Bikes RadRover 6 Plus Review
A proven fat tire electric bike with frame, brake, and battery upgrades for its 6th generation. The high-step version is slightly larger and stiffer than the step-thru, but only comes in a black color scheme. Wide 4" tires provide stability, traction, and float for navigating soft terrain like gravel, sand, and snow. Shorter stem, mid-rise handlebar, ergonomic grips, and adjustable suspension fork delivery comfort.. Network of mobile service vans and multiple storefronts in the US, Canada, and Europe make…...
Best Class 3 Electric Bikes of 2024
Class 3 Electric bikes are a specific regulatory classification of ebikes in the US and Europe. A class 3 electric bike provides motor assist while the rider pedals up to a speed of 28mph, which is close to the speed a fit cyclist can achieve without assistance. Class 3 electric bikes are increasing in popularity with riders who prefer a faster ride to keep up with traffic, reduce commuting time, and to expand their traveling range. Due to their increased speed, class 3 ebikes are restricted some bike trails and bike paths. They are sometimes referred to as speed pedelecs, because they rely on pedal assist to achieve the higher top speeds. See all the details and even more winners on our best Class 3 electric bikes page.
Specialized Turbo Vado SL 4.0 EQ Review
One of the best ebikes I've ever reviewed. Relatively light weight at 36.9lbs including integrated lights, a rear rack, and custom designed tubular fenders with extra long rubberized flaps to keep your feet dry. Reasonably priced for outstanding motor and battery technology. Class 3 speed-pedelec performance offers 28mph (45km/h) assisted speeds for fun, respect from automobiles, and overall faster commutes. Boost hub spacing provides sturdier spoke bracing angle, 12mm thru-axles provide stiffness and control at…...

Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0 Step-Through Review

Available in high-step or step-thru frame styles, comes in four, three trim levels (3.0, 4.0, and 5.0), and the battery integration looks much nicer than previous generations.. Excellent weight distribution (low and center), clean integrated cables, powerful hydraulic disc brakes from SRAM…...
Lectric ONE Review 2024 – Is This E-Bike Even Real?
This is a game-changer of an e-bike. We didn’t expect to see both a 750W hub motor and a Pinion gear box for less than $2000. This is a remarkable design that reminds us how few companies produce e-bikes as chock-full of value as Lectric. I’m not ready to call this the e-bike of the year just yet—it’s only March—but it’s going to be in the running for sure, but more importantly, this will be disruptive to the industry.. This is the sort of e-bke that has the potential to coax even more people…...
Ride1Up 700 Series Review
A commute-ready ebike with sturdy aluminum alloy fenders and versatile rear rack with triple bungee and pannier hangers, available in two frame styles (high-step and step-thru), two color choices, and ships to US, Canada, and Mexico. Great value given the name-brand components: 160mm Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, Selle Royal comfort saddle,…...

Best Cruiser Electric Bikes of 2024
Electric Cruiser bikes are built for comfort, style and fun. With big soft seats, wide handlebars, step-thru frames and upright riding positions, they are easy to mount and ride. They provide a great entry level option for fair weather rides around town, on beaches, and less challenging terrains. Cruisers are generally less expensive and heavier than other specialty bikes that offer more gears, power, suspensions, or commuting features. For more details, including why we chose each model, check out our full list of the best cruiser electric bikes.

Best Hardtail Electric Mountain Bikes of 2024
Hardtail electric mountain bikes offer an affordable entry to riding on gravel and less demanding trails. More like SUVs than Jeeps, they can take you many places and are lighter, easier to maintain, and cost thousands less than full-suspension ebikes. The front suspension fork absorbs off-road jolts and makes urban riding more comfortable. An affordable solution for those who are content on moderate trails or are seeking more comfort in town. For heavier off-road use, look for mid-drive motors and upgraded components to improve performance and durability. The hardtail frame is great for cross country riding or weekend warrior types who want one bike platform to commute and ride off-road. For more details, including why we chose each model, check out our full list of the best hardtail electric mountain bikes.
Aventon Ramblas EMTB Review, 2024
Aventon has just added a new e-bike to their lineup. It’s called the Ramblas and it is an electric mountain bike.

Best Electric Cargo Bikes of 2024
Electric cargo bikes encourage you to do things and go places you could not before. Take the people you love and stuff you need wherever your heart desires! Well, as long as there’s a road or path ;) Doing more is what electric cargo bikes are all about; the electric assist smooths hills and shrinks distance while carrying more. They are a healthy, affordable, and versatile alternative to automobiles. Perfect for hauling kids and all the stuff that goes with them, they are also great for carrying sports equipment and running errands. Cargo ebikes come in many shapes and sizes. Longtails are the original flavor! Basically, they offer a long rear section of frame with sturdy built-in top rack and running boards that allows cargo, child seats, and adult passengers to be loaded up. Box bikes, also called long johns or bakfiets (Netherlands language there), are an even longer variation of cargo bike configured with a big box upfront and a smaller front wheel connected by a linkage. Many companies are experimenting with midtail cargo ebikes (shorter than longtail but longer than a city bike), fat tire models, and even three-wheeled versions called cargo trikes or rickshaws which can carry loads in the front or back. This is a pretty awesome category! For more details, including why we chose each model, check out our full list of best electric cargo bikes.

Best Electric Road Bikes of 2024
Electric road bikes are the sports cars of ebikes. Different than most electric bikes, the motor is used to enhance the riding experience vs. giving you a ride. They amplify your pedaling efforts, taking you faster and farther. Historically, viewed as cheating, assisted pedaling on road bikes is now embraced. Beyond going farther and faster, electric road bikes can help riders transition back after illness or injury and compensate for limitations allowing continued participation in group rides without fear of hills, headwinds, or falling behind. Stealthy electric road bikes are the sexiest with batteries integrated into frames and sleek motors that are barely noticeable. We call these ebikes “stealth” because they fly under the radar, so to speak ;) Road bikes, recognized for their dropped handlebars, are transformed into electric gravel or adventure bikes on wider tire and handlebar versions. This is a pretty awesome category! For more details, including why we chose each model, check out our full list of best electric road bikes.

If you’re completely new to electric bicycles, check out my introduction video, which explains why I started EBR back in 2012. I’ve also posted an informal interview with my uncle Greg, who has been riding a full suspension electric mountain bike to work in Colorado, rain or shine, for several years! EBR makes money by listing shops on our directory map, charging for a limited number of promoted bike slots that will get more visibility, and getting paid by YouTube for ads that play before and after our videos. We believe in transparency, and appreciate your visit here! Good luck, ride safe, and thanks for visiting :)
