I’m fortunate that I get to play with all the new toys. Ebikes arrive at my doorstep frequently, and I get to thrash ‘em so you don’t have to. In the course of testing a bunch of models this year for the best electric bikes guide, three bikes stand out above all the rest.
The ones that make the cut for my three favorites of the year do so for largely the same reasons: powerful assist, a fun ride, and tons of functionality. That should be the measure of any good ebike, and while many bikes met the criteria this year, these three exceeded it.
