Unbiased, In-Depth Analysis of the Best Electric Bikes
This broad category of electric bikes feature efficient tires to navigate neighborhood, city, and urban environments without the noise and drag of studded tires. They may come with racks, fenders, and lights.
The Venture iE is a comfort hybrid from Raleigh that offers a powerful (but quiet) motor system designed by Currie Technologies, produced by TranzX. What you get here is a proven frame that comes in either high-step or step-thru configuration as well as multiple sizes for a perfect fit. This is probably my favorite ebike […]
The eProdigy Jasper is a well rounded, efficient and relatively affordable city style electric bike. This thing would work well for commuting or just cruising around the neighborhood thanks to the rear carry rack, fenders and suspension. It’s comfortable to ride and puts your back and neck in a more upright position which reduces fatigue […]
The Raleigh Detour iE was updated for 2016 to use a mid-drive motor instead of the gearless direct drive hub, this improved balance and reduced weight by ~5 pounds. Check out the latest Raleigh Detour ebike review here. The Detour iE is an urban style electric bike build around the time-tested non-electric Raleigh Detour bicycle […]
The Recreational e102 electric bike is an entry level build from GenZe, an ebike subsidiary of the Mahindra Group (an Indian multinational automobile manufacturing corporation headquartered in Mumbai). This thing offers a nice purpose built frame with good weight distribution, removable battery pack for convenient charging and easy transportation, pedal assist and throttle mode and […]
The BESV Lion is completely purpose built ebike that’s perfect for urban or street riding. The motor and battery pack blend right in and the control interface is actually molded around the stem and handle bars which includes an integrated headlight. While it doesn’t have drop bars and might not fit in with a pack […]
The A2B Galvani is a high-step only commuter style electric bike that delivers premium accessories at a mid-level price point. If you’re a shorter rider or someone who prefers the low-step design then consider the A2B Ferber which is basically the same build. Both of these ebikes deliver efficient motor systems and chic design features […]
The e-Joe Anggun 3.0 is an entry level “all around” electric bike that could be useful for commuting, going to school or just doing some relaxed neighborhood cruising. It’s extremely versatile thanks to the fenders, rear rack and LED lights but goes even further in the utility direction with a nice chain guard, adjustable stem […]
The Sport e101 electric bike is an entry level build from GenZe, an ebike subsidiary of the Mahindra Group (an Indian multinational automobile manufacturing corporation headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India). It offers a purpose built frame with good balance, a removable battery pack for convenient charging and easy transportation, pedal assist and throttle mode as […]
The BESV Panther PS1 is a compact urban commuter style electric bike. It’s beautiful to look at with tight aluminum fenders, a carbon fiber body and polished white, cyber yellow or blazing red paint… Personally, I think they could have named it the Couger PS1 because young men will certainly be attracted to any ladies […]
The Felt SPORTe Step-Thru is a more approachable version of the standard SPORTe. It’s available in two smaller sizes and both have a lower stand over height so they’re easier to mount and hold at stop signs and lights, especially if you’ve got gear on the rear rack. This thing is part road bike, part […]
