Choose the right electric bike, without the guesswork
Affiliate links: if you buy through our links, we earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It does not affect our picks.
To pick an electric bike, start with how you will ride (commuting, trails, folding, carrying cargo), then compare the battery in watt-hours, the motor's rated power, the class and throttle rules, the brakes and the weight. Our comparisons apply that checklist to e-bikes sold on Amazon.com and say who each model suits and who should skip it.
Comparisons by type and by rider, built from the checked specs of e-bikes sold on Amazon.com: motor, battery, claimed range, class, brakes, weight. For each bike we say who it is for and who it is not for.
