Unbiased, In-Depth Analysis of the Best Electric Bikes
Electric bikes or ebikes combine human power from pedaling with electronic power from a hub motor, mid drive, or friction drive powered by a battery pack. They come in all shapes and sizes, including trikes, tandems, folding, cargo, and more. A traditional analog bicycle can usually be converted to electric through the use of kits. Ebikes fall into three classes including Class 1 pedal assist only up to a set speed (usually 25kmh or 32kmh), Class 2 throttle only or throttle with pedal assist up to a set speed (usually 25kmh or 32kmh), and high speed Class 3 up to a set level (usually 45kmh 28mph).

The Outrider 422 Alpha is a recumbent trike style electric bike that offers stability, aerodynamics and power unmatched by any other system I’ve tested.

The Aerobic Cruiser is a powerful recumbent electric bike that offers a comfortable ride through adjustable seat, back rest and full suspension design elements.

The Terminus is a one of a kind electric bike made from the highest quality components, custom built from the ground up to be an incredible performer for downhill racing or flying at high speed (nearly silently) across the tarmac.

The EZPedaler T500 is a value priced unisex city bike that’s balanced well and feature rich. They made a trade off here putting the hub motor on the front vs. the rear but that allowed the bike to use an internally geared three speed Nexus hub which stays cleaner and can be shifted at rest. […]
