Unbiased, In-Depth Analysis of the Best Electric Bikes
These electric bikes come standard with fenders, a rear rack or pannier hangers, and lights. They are full sized models only, no folders.
The Evo City+ is so named because it has a more powerful motor than prior genrations, offering 500 watts nomial vs. 350. It’s an electric bike that can handle commuting in all sorts of conditions thanks to fenders, a chain cover, integrated lights, and reflective tires. The two sizes allow for a wider range of […]
This is the second generation Cross Lite E model to hit the States from Bulls, a widely respected European brand launched in 2010. Now, the step-thru design makes it easier to mount and stand over for people with short legs and I love that they haven’t called it a women’s model… even though that’s likely […]
EG is an electric bicycle brand that balances price against power and features. Some of the hardware they choose is at the basic or entry-level end of the spectrum, and I found that the stem on this particular bike felt a little loose, but the bikes are more affordable and work fine for recreational riding.

The E3 Dash has long been one of my favorite IZIP electric bike models. It looks great, is value priced, offers great urban accessories (fenders, integrated lights, and a rear rack in this case) and comes in several sizes for improved fit. While the 2017 version does not come in multiple colors, I feel like […]
Specialized has introduced four new urban electric bikes and the Vado 6.0 is their top-of-the-line offering.

If you’re looking for an electric bicycle that’s outfitted for urban commuting but tough enough to ride on packed trails occasionally, that can be optimized for high-torque to move heavy loads and climb or high-speed to get you to the office quicker, the Riese & Müller Charger Mixte models might be just the thing. It’s […]
In my opinion, Easy Motion has nailed the comfort commuting electric bicycle platform with the ATOM Diamond Wave model. It’s easy to mount and stand over (even with gear loaded onto the rack), it will keep you dry and clean with premium fenders and a unique full-wrap chain cover, and you’ll be safe in low-light […]
One of my first mountain bikes was a Scott and it appealed to me due to style and use of the latest suspension technology. In recent years, the company has entered the ebike space and has an impressive line of products in Europe with a few making their way to the US in 2016. I […]
