If you’re a speed demon, an adrenaline junkie, or simpy a fun-seeking rider searching for an e-bike with heaps of power and punch, you’re in the right place!

Whether used for cruising, commuting, or playing in off-road environments, moped-style e-bikes are as versatile as they are iconic. They borrow visual elements from motorcycles and dirt bikes, giving them an aggressive look that often matches their speed capabilities. In most cases, they’re also remarkably comfortable!

Also known as moto-style e-bikes, those in this category typically have thickly padded, nonadjustable bench seats. Some offer the ability to carry a passenger, commonly with the addition of a saddle extension, and many include motorcycle-grade suspension systems, durable tires, and lighting features such as full-on headlamps and turn signals.

Of course, moped-style e-bikes also include operable pedals, though we anticipate most riders will rely primarily on throttle power to motor around.

Our team of professional reviewers has tested hundreds of e-bikes of various styles, including moto- and moped-style e-bikes for on-road, off-road, and mixed use. If you’re seeking recommendations for a super speedy commuter or an off-road monster, see below for a list of our favorites!

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. Human anatomy is a fascinating thing.

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.

Most bikes and e-bikes are bought by men (what’s up with that?), so the majority of all one-size e-bikes are made for a man’s proportions. This means that, while women can adjust saddle height appropriately, they will likely be left with a long reach from the saddle to the handlebar, resulting in a potentially uncomfortable forward lean.

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.

The fact is, the higher your budget range, the more options that exist. That’s sadly sexist, but our job is to point out the best opportunities we see. The options highlighted below will likely satisfy the budget, comfort, and functionality preferences of most women looking for an e-bike. Let’s dig in!

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. So, why can’t a daily trip from A to B 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.

Because 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 for commuting as their best-intended use.

These bikes are primarily built for pavement, and their motor and battery systems were chosen with speed, efficiency, and longevity in mind. If you’re looking for a lighter-duty commuter more at home in a bustling urban environment, check out our list of the best city and urban e-bikes—otherwise, keep reading below!

From cruising traffic-clogged city streets to scooting a few blocks to the office and back, our staff of professional testers reviewed many of the best city and urban electric bikes on the market. But what makes a city bike a city bike?

Truthfully, this category of e-bikes is broad, and ultimately, any bike can be a city bike. For example, you could happily ride a full-suspension eMTB around the streets of New York City. You might, however, run into its limitations in that environment when riding through puddles or trying to carry it up a flight of stairs.

Generally speaking, city and urban e-bikes are a part of the larger commuter category, but they have certain characteristics that make them best suited for short-range commutes in densely populated urban environments.

They’re usually a little lighter, a little more nimble, and sometimes have a little less power and range than pure commuter bikes, though they may look extremely similar at first glance.

All of the bikes on this list have been put through the wringer by our team of experienced bike testers on the roads and bike paths of southwest Utah. We consider each to be equally comfortable in a dense urban environment.

If you’re seeking the best city e-bikes on the market, we think these are just too good to ignore.

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 have selected their favorites. We hope this list of the best folding electric bikes helps you to find a model that fits your needs and budget!

Cruiser-style e-bikes are the epitome of a good time! They’re designed to be comfortable, accommodating, and easy to ride, but a few other characteristics come standard as well.

While other types of e-bikes often pitch their riders forward, cruisers are known for their upright positioning (more like sitting on a chair than flying like Superman). They also typically have handlebars with some degree of curve, giving them a relaxed, ergonomic feel.

Finally, while some e-bikes deviate from the norm more than others, cruisers often feature motors with reserved, highly approachable power levels. This toned-down vibe encourages taking a slower pace and enjoying the scenery, making electric cruiser bikes ideal for leisure rides.

We’ve identified a handful of the best cruiser-style e-bikes from the hundreds our team of reviewers has tested. Cruisers come in two varieties that we have separated our selections into:

• Beach cruisers evoke the classic cars of the 1950s and 60s with curvy retro styling, soft colors, and shiny aluminum trim. Their handlebars are wide and swept back, with a feel similar to using a wheelbarrow.
• Dutch-style cruisers, on the other hand, are lightweight commuter hybrids that tend to be more contemporary in design; we like to call them “city cruisers.” They often have sleek, angular frames with brighter or bolder colors. While curved, their handlebars place their riders’ hands closer together in front of their bodies instead of tilted down and out to the sides.

Both styles are great for running errands or simply getting some fresh air. If you’re seeking a comfortable, stylish bike for casual rides or commuting, continue reading below for more information about our favorite cruisers!

Cargo bikes have been in use since the 19th century when tradesmen used them to deliver and transport their goods around Holland. These tradesmen must have been on to something because the idea stuck!

Electric cargo bikes may look a bit different from those early models, but their motors make them even more practical. These days, cargo e-bikes are great for carrying loads of groceries, taking the kids to school, delivering food or packages, and generally serving as a versatile alternative to a car when running errands around town.

As the cargo e-bike category has grown in popularity, our team of reviewers has tested a myriad of makes and models. In our experience, not all of them are up to snuff! Rest assured that we’ve sorted the good from the bad—and we’ve assembled this list to make your search simple and straightforward.

While there are quite a few proven designs for cargo e-bikes, our list will focus on the short-tail/utility and long-tail (ST and LT, respectively) styles. Both types of bike share similar functionality—the only major differences are length and carrying capacity (usually volume, but also sometimes weight).

Whether you’re looking to live a healthier lifestyle while spending more time with the kids or seeking a dependable ride for gig work (think Doordash or Instacart), check out our top electric cargo bike picks below!

Electric bikes offer one of the most low-impact and senior-friendly modes of exercise. Their motors can help to take the edge off of hills that seniors using traditional pedal bikes might otherwise avoid. Yet, depending on the type of e-bike, they can still require enough physical effort to make for a great workout.

E-bikes have also been proven to help maintain cognitive and mental health among older riders; according to one study, low levels of pedal assistance from an e-bike can inspire confidence and improve self-esteem in older people who may feel limited by mobility issues.

Prospective senior cyclists often ask our team of reviewers for our opinion on the best electric bikes. To answer that question definitively, we decided to put our heads together and created this list of our favorites.
