The 7 best electric bikes in 2022

Electric bikes went from being curious novelties to reliable forms of transportation in the span of just a few years. Although they were initially met with skepticism, especially from traditional cyclists, more and more people are ditching their gas-guzzling cars in favor of battery-powered bikes.To get more news about ebike accessories, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

I've been an e-bike enthusiast since right around the time the segment launched, riding them both as my preferred method of getting around town while also exhaustively testing them for work. This means I've pedal-tested a wide variety of models and learned firsthand exactly what makes a quality e-bike. To get more news about rad rover 5, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

I used that experience, as well as months of research and testing, to compile the following guide of the seven best e-bikes I've ridden thus far. From short trips to the store to test ride comfort and utility to longer, battery-killing rides around the city, I pushed these bikes to their limit — all in the name of helping you find the right one for your needs.To get more news about waterproof bag for bike, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.
Of each bike tested, Priority's Current shocked me the most. It's a mid-drive commuter built with practicality in mind. Thanks to wide, grippy tires and hydraulic disc brakes, I was tempted to take it off-road, and although it likely would've been fine, the Current is meant for pavement.

If someone asked me to build the ideal e-bike, this is the model I'd come up with. For starters, maintenance is a breeze (and largely non-existent). Thanks to low-maintenance hydraulic disc brakes, the clever use of internal gears which takes away a derailleur, and a grease-free carbon belt drive, there's little else to go wrong other than a potential flat tire.

If you intend to use an e-bike as a car replacement, the Current is a great solution for that, too, as it's a joy to ride. The comfortable saddle, wide handlebar, and upright geometry make for a smooth, nimble ride no matter if you're navigating city traffic or taking the scenic route through the park.
If you're in the market for an e-bike that doesn't always require you to pedal, the Juiced HyperScorpion is what you seek. Outfit with a twist throttle, the HyperScorpion almost feels as if you're riding a moped or small motorcycle — I include the latter example because it's about that much fun to ride.

The bike also features a pedal-assist mode, with both motor options allowing it to reach assisted speeds of up to 30 mph. While that is an impressive amount of speed offered, it can be a little too much for anyone just getting into e-bikes or who hasn't ridden one that much. With that said, you should always wear protective gear like a helmet when you're on a bike, and jumping on the HyperScorpion is no different.
E-bikes aren't cheap. When you slap an electric-assist onto something that's already running several hundred dollars, it's hard to keep the price tag to something that's manageable for everyone and produce a bike that's worthy of owning. Thankfully, a few brands have figured out a way to do both: Keep the bike relatively cheap while still offering an industry-standard ride quality and dependability.

One such company is Charge, a bike manufacturer that specializes in e-bikes, particularly the wallet-friendly, commuter-centric (and aptly named) City bike. What the city offers is a reliable, pedal-assisted mode of transportation that delivers 50 miles of available range, a handy thumb throttle, and modern design at a price less than $1,700 — for e-bikes, that's great.

The Charge comes in two different sizes, Standard and Low Step, and is available in either a basic silver finish or a more popping blue finish. The bike features an onboard battery that helps power it and has folding handlebars and pedals for easy transport and storage.Folding e-bikes make a lot of sense. They're easy to store in small urban apartments, they integrate well with mass transit, and unlike regular folding bikes, they aren't a disaster to ride uphill.

The problem with folding e-bikes is that so many of them are awful. They're either underpowered, overweight, totally impractical, or a mix of all three. Thankfully, the GX from GoCycle eschews these typical drawbacks and offers a smooth, comfortable ride in a compact and easy-to-store package.

Featuring hydraulic disc brakes, all-weather tires, a 20 mph top speed, and a 40-mile range, the GX is designed as a city commuter. Throughout testing, I kept coming back to the word "easy," too — it's easy to ride, easy to haul, and easy to store. The Speedfox AMP AL Two from BMC Switzerland was one of the first electric mountain bikes I ever rode, but it's the bike responsible for convincing me of just how fun (and useful) they are. It took just one full day of riding the mountain bike trails in Santa Cruz, California and I was hooked.

Not only did it provide just enough of a boost to get up the steepest inclines but it still felt light enough (with the onboard battery) to not always need the extra oomph. And I get how using a motor to help get uphill seems like cheating but really, it allowed me to ride far longer than if I was left to climb those hills entirely on my own.Gogoro's hub motor Eeyo 1s differs from the other bikes on this list as it's propelled via a single smartwheel hub located on its rear wheel. This means that all of the bike's electrical components are stored in the inconspicuous hub and it's solely responsible (aside from your own pedaling) for pushing the bike forward.

The bike features a full carbon fiber frame and fork, as well as a carbon fiber seat post and handlebars, making it not only durable as hell but extremely light — it checks in at just 26.4 lbs with the hub. Most e-bikes weigh closer to 30, 40, or even 50 lbs, so the light weight of the Eeyo 1s is a huge benefit and one that made it incredibly easy to haul up and down the stairs of my apartment building.
