Unbiased, In-Depth Analysis of the Best Electric Bikes
These electric bikes offer pedal assist modes that are capable of reaching speeds above 20mph (32km/h). They may go as fast as 28mph (45km/h) for faster commutes and may require special licensing in European countries.
While the DTC e-bike market has largely followed a predictable path, good little ants marching single file, each one following the one in front of it, Aventon has quietly carved its own lane and quickly become a genuine force in the industry. The release of the Aventon Current, a true eMTB, earned them all sorts […]
The e-bike market often feels flooded with limited choices, forcing riders to accept trade-offs they’d rather avoid. Want a fat tire bike? Cool, just be okay with 85+ pounds of heft. Looking for a sleek, lightweight commuter? No problem, just be okay with small batteries and weaker motors. It just always feels like you have […]
Written Review The first time I went to the Sea Otter Classic (USA’s premier cycling festival and trade-show), Aventon was being repped by a PR agency, didn’t have a dedicated booth, and unless you were an e-bike geek that focused on lifestyle commuter and cruiser ebikes, you didn’t even know Aventon was there. Every year […]
I get called out a lot, not because of what I’m saying about e-bikes (well, that does happen sometimes), but more about the price of e-bikes in 2026. It seems every e-bike no matter how basic has a price tag above the $1000 mark, with the exception of Lectric Bikes. Gotrax heard your cries for […]
At 45 pounds without the battery and 50 with it, the Heybike Venus is one of the lighter step-through eBikes you can buy right now. That’s not marketing speak, it’s about 10-15 pounds less than most bikes in this category. The difference shows up when you’re hauling it up apartment stairs or sliding it into […]
The Discover 3 sits alongside the new Discover M as Velotric’s refreshed lineup for 2026, but where the M goes after experienced riders with its mid-drive system, the Discover 3 sticks with what’s worked for years: a powerful rear hub motor and straightforward operation. It’s the third iteration of Velotric’s most popular model, and this […]
Velotric’s been carving out a solid rep for e-bikes over the past couple years that punch above their weight class, and the Nomad 2 is their latest shot at raising the bar. This fat-tire rig isn’t just a sequel—it’s a rethink, loaded with features that catch your eye without drowning you in spec sheets. They’ve […]
Mokwheel’s made a name for themselves in the fat tire e-bike space over the past couple years. Their Basalt and the full-suspension Obsidian both landed solid reviews from us, capable bikes packed with power, though they were built around hub motors. They proved Mokwheel knew how to engineer a fat tire e-bike that could actually […]
When Mokwheel dropped the original Basalt, it wasn’t just another fat tire e-bike trying to muscle its way into an already crowded market. Sure, it had rough edges, but those chunky 4-inch tires and go-anywhere attitude struck a chord with riders craving something beyond typical pavement cruisers. The real kicker was that power station capability, […]
Mokwheel has steadily carved out its place in the direct-to-consumer e-bike market, and with each successive model, the brand demonstrates a clear commitment to addressing rider feedback and refining its designs. The latest example of this evolution is the Mokwheel Tarmac, a $1,899 commuter e-bike that takes some genuinely bold steps away from conventional wisdom. […]
