Folding e-bikes are all the rage in Europe, where space comes at a premium, and many commuters rely on public transit for at least a portion of their daily round-trip to and from the office.

Here in the US, we have the luxury of larger living areas, an abundance of storage space, and, in many cases, our own automobiles to handle the daily commute.

So why should we concern ourselves with finding the best folding e-bikes? In short, because of their versatility!

The collapsible nature of folding electric bikes allows them to take up less space in a garage, be transported in a car or SUV without the need for a bike rack, or come along in the RV on a family road trip. Even if a bike’s folding feature is only used occasionally, it’s a convenience that makes a difference when you’re in a pinch!

While folding e-bikes often have some tradeoffs with their fixed-frame cousins, the differences are usually minimal. Folding bikes regularly include fat tires and suspension forks for off-road riding, cargo racks for hauling gear or passengers, powerful motors for riding fast and climbing hills, and great brakes with effective stopping power.

After riding and testing a myriad of folding e-bikes, our team of reviewers here at Electric Bike Report has selected their favorites. We hope this list of the best folding electric bikes helps you find a model that fits your needs and budget!

Electric tricycles, also known as e-trikes, are three-wheeled mobility devices that offer riders a high degree of stability at low speeds. Their stability makes them ideal for seniors or other adults with special mobility needs who are unable to balance on a bicycle or e-bike.

Electric trikes typically have high payload capacities, giving them a remarkable amount of utility! If they don’t outright include cargo racks or baskets, they can usually be outfitted with a range of compatible accessories to help riders carry a load of groceries or other cargo. E-trikes are also well-suited for carrying heavier riders.

The following list is comprised of a handful of our go-to recommendations for e-trikes. Each differs from the others in at least one main area; some are best for shoppers on a budget, others prioritize portability, and still others aim to maximize their overall stability and accessibility.

Each trike’s section below covers a few of its highlights, but we’ve included links to our full written and video reviews in case you have unanswered questions. Keep reading to learn more about our top choices for the best electric tricycles!

The daily commute for an average person can be many different things. It can be dozens of miles spent in a car each morning and evening, an hour or two on public transit per day, a couple of three-block walks, etc. From our point of view, there’s no reason why your trip shouldn’t be spent on one of the top commuter electric bikes!

From powerful speedsters and sporty, long-haul pedalers to elegant and comfortable cruisers, our team of reviewers has tested the best commuter e-bikes money can buy. We’ve compiled our favorites to help you pick the bike that fits your needs.

The commuter e-bikes included on this list will not just get you to your destination without sweating through your clothes; they’ll get you there quickly and have the battery capacity to cover long distances with ease. More importantly, these bikes will make the job of getting to your job much more fun and enjoyable!

Since commuting can mean so many different things depending on where you live and work (especially here in the U.S.), we’ve tried our best to stick to bikes designed primarily for this specific purpose.

These bikes are primarily built for pavement, and their motor and battery systems were chosen with speed, efficiency, and longevity in mind.

Many products in this world don’t need to be gender-specific: TVs. Computers. Baseball caps. However, many other items need to be made to fit the specific proportions of one gender or the other: Clothes. Multivitamins. And, yes, bikes and e-bikes.

Within each gender, there is a wild variation in sizes and even proportions, but themes and trends do emerge. As a (very) general rule, for a given height, women have longer legs than men, as well as shorter torsos and arms. Also, on average, women are shorter than men.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of bicycles and e-bikes are bought by (and therefore, designed for) men. Given the anatomical differences explained above, many e-bikes claiming to be “one-size-fits-all” may allow women to properly set their saddle height while leaving them feeling uncomfortably stretched out or forward leaning.

We’ve selected a collection of e-bikes that cover a variety of uses, ranging from cruisers and commuters to special-use e-bikes such as eMTBs and even a road/gravel e-bike. Almost all of these e-bikes feature step-thru frames to make them easy to mount and dismount, while a few fit with more traditional expectations of woman-centric design.

To be clear, none of the e-bikes on this list were specifically made for women, but we have selected e-bikes with geometry that is suitable for both genders. This is more a reflection of our decision to focus on e-bikes priced in the $1,000-$3,000 range than what is available.

You’ll likely find a greater number of suitable options if you’re willing to spend more on an e-bike, but we opted to focus mostly on e-bike models that exist outside the premium tier. Our hands-on testing proved that the options listed below performed extremely well without requiring you to spend an arm and a leg.
