Compact Electric Bike Reviews

The Blix Vika X might fold up small, but it doesn’t compromise on its commuter capability. With its 500W motor, low step-over height and 20” wheels, you get plenty of power and stability, whether you’re commuting or just cruising around town.. The Auto-Shift system is a unique touch that shifts gears for you based on cadence,…...

A high-quality midtail electric cargo bike that can stand vertically to save space! Available in three colors but only one frame size. Slack seat tube angle and two telescoping seat post segments provide a range of fit options for short and tall riders alike. This is a proven ebike in my opinion, one that is available in four configurations depending on your appetite for technology, power, and range. The P9 is the most affordable, uses a weaker motor and smaller battery, and is the second lightest in the group.. Lighter and less expensive than the Tern GSD models, the HSD (which stands for Haul…...

One of the most affordable models from Tern, the P9 is a Class 3 speed pedelec capable of 28mph (45km/h) top speeds. It offers a unique blend of utility, efficiency, and sport handling.

Optional aluminum alloy fenders, rear rack, headlight, and bags add utility.. Six beautiful colors allow for personalization if friends, partners, or family members each buy an…...

An approachable fully-equipped electric bike available in four colors, sold direct and through a large network of dealers. The step-thru frame is approachable, but felt very stiff and capable.

While only available in one frame size, the extra long 390mm seat post and adjustable…...

One of the most powerful, adjustable, and high-quality compact electric bikes I've ever tested. Available in two colors but only one frame size... the extra-long seat post and telescoping height stem provide good fit for a range of rider heights. Low-rise handlebar, adjustable angle stem, ergonomic grips, and memory foam saddle all improve comfort.. The handlebar can swivel 45-degrees to line up with the bike frame, making it easier…...
