Unbiased, In-Depth Analysis of the Best Electric Bikes
These electric bikes will generally have swept back handlebars, a large plush saddle, a relaxed upright geometry, and larger tires for stability and comfort. They typically have a classic look with curvy frames and thicker tubing.
The Pedego Boomerang is cruiser style electric bike designed to be extra easy to mount and dismount. Pedego has long offered traditional step-thru designs (even one that’s specifically built for shorter riders) but this model, new for 2015, takes that concept even further by reducing the step height by about one foot. The top tube […]
The iGo metro is a value priced urban cruiser that offers a comfortable ride, beautiful aesthetic and high quality components. I was very impressed with the design which resembles the Pedego City Commuter but costs much less. It’s available in a high-step and low-step frame configuration with 18″ and 16.5″ sizes respectively to fit a […]
There are only a handfull of electric bikes specifically designed for petite riders. The Pedego 24″ Cruiser comes to mind but doesn’t offer the same mid-drive setup seen here. The Banff is a beautifully accessorized city style cruiser that comes complete with front and rear racks, whicker baskets, fenders, lights and a unique center-drive that […]
The Long Beach Cruiser is one of my favorite Big Cat electric bikes. It’s well balanced with a centrally located battery pack. Has an emphasis on safety with front and rear LED lights and brakes that cut power to the motor. For me it was comfortable to ride having a suspension fork, padded saddle, oversized […]
The ProdecoTech Storm 500 is one of the larger folding electric bikes around and it’s also one of the cheapest. As with most Prodeco ebikes this one uses a large gearless rear hub motor and rack mounted battery that sits just behind the seat post. It’s not the most elegant or well balanced design but […]
The ProdecoTech Genesis 500 is one of the larger folding electric bikes around and it’s also one of the cheapest. As with most Prodeco ebikes this one uses a large gearless rear hub motor and rack mounted battery that sits just behind the seat post. It’s not the most elegant or well balanced design but […]
The ProdecoTech Stride R is one of the more affordable ebikes I’ve tested and I love that it comes with a front shock to smooth out the ride. The power it offers is good but the drive system is limited to throttle only which tends to reduce range and climbing ability because there’s no incentive […]
The ProdecoTech Oasis is a fun budget oriented electric bike that offers an upright cruiser style ride. It feels solid and offers plenty of power with a 750 watt direct drive hub motor and 48 volt battery pack. While it only comes in one size and one color, the handlebars and seat are adjustable to […]
Pedego began making its own electric bikes around 2009 and the Classic Comfort Cruiser was one of the first designs. Prior to this, the founders were using Electra bicycle frames and aftermarket kits to approximate what you see here. Its soft oversized tires, elongated handlebars and large padded seat deliver a comfortable upright ride that’s […]
Pedego is a pioneer in the electric bike space, especially in the United States where it has been building custom cruiser style ebikes since 2009. The Comfort Cruiser hasn’t changed much over the years; it’s simple, durable and powerful. It has become one of the most popular models for electric bike tours for all of […]
