The 7 Best Electric Cruiser Bikes Out There [2024 Edition]

When it comes to riding in style, I’m not sure any bike tops the classic cruiser. With wide handles, large seats, and plenty of cargo space, these comfy cycles are perfect for running errands or simply enjoying a little fresh air.

And now, with the ever-growing popularity of electric bikes, we have plenty of great electric cruisers to choose from as well.

And since these electric cruisers have motors, they make it even easier to enjoy a recreational ride around town.

There’s no denying the perks of investing in a quality electric cruiser, but before you decide, it’s important to know what to look for when comparing options.

We’re talking motor strengths, battery capacities, mileage ranges, and all that stuff.

If this sounds like a lot of work, don’t worry – I’ve done the heavy lifting for ya.

In this guide, I’ll review all the specs and features you should consider before investing in one of these e-bikes; I’ve also included a rundown on the top cruisers currently available based on this info.

After reading, you’ll know everything you need to in order to find the right e-bike to meet your cruising needs.

Let’s roll.

The 7 Best Electric Cruiser Bikes of 2024

#1 electric bike company’s model c.

When it comes to reasonably-priced cruisers, the Electric Bike Company is easily one of the best brands out there – one might even say it’s their specialty.

Which makes sense when you consider they’re based out of California, where the term “beach cruiser” started being used in the first place.

Anyway, every bike in their lineup could be considered a cruiser of one sort or another, but their Model C is a perfect example of the quintessential e-cruiser.

From the wide handlebars and leather seat to the rear rack and fenders, the Model C screams classic cruiser – the only thing missing is the step-thru frame.

But if you’re ok with a step-over frame, the Model C has got ya covered on the rest.

This bike comes with a 750W rear hub-drive motor that can reach a top speed of 28 mph when set in Class III mode (although it arrives at your home programmed as a Class II bike with a top speed of 20 mph).

When it comes to the battery, the Model C comes standard with a 12Ah, 48V battery (576Wh), but you can upgrade to an 18Ah option or purchase additional batteries for even more riding range.

And what’s really cool about this cycle is that it comes with a built-in internal charger, so you can simply park the Model C and plug it in when you’re away from home and you need a charge.

When it comes to range, you can expect to get up to 60 – 100 miles on a charge depending on which battery you opt for and how much pedal assist you use.

The Model C comes with 5 levels of it by the way, as well as a standard thumb throttle.

What’s especially great about this bike and Electric Bike Company in general, is that they give you the option to customize every detail of the bike.

We’re talking colors and accessories of course (of which they offer a ton), but you can even customize stuff like the handle material, the seat posts, the rims, and pretty much any other component you can think of.

You can also choose between the standard fixed gear drivetrain or upgrade to a 7-speed cassette for improved performance.

And with an impressive 420 lb weight capacity, this cruiser can definitely handle an additional passenger when necessary.

Oh, Electric Bike Company also backs this bike with a 5 year battery warranty and 10 year motor warranty for even more peace of mind.

Overall, if you’re looking for a highly customizable cruiser with as many (or as few) bells and whistles as you can handle, Electric Bike Company’s Model C is a smart choice.

#2 Aventon’s Level.2 Step-Through

If you’re looking for an e-cruiser with a more modern appearance, Aventon’s Level.2 might catch your eye.

Personally, I think the Level.2 looks like what you’d get if you crossed a cruiser with a mountain bike, combining comfort and performance into a single cycle.

Either way, the Level.2 has a lot of great cruiser features worth mentioning.

As the name implies, this model does come with a step-thru frame for easy access and it’s packing a 500W rear hub motor that can reach a top speed of around 28 mph on pedal assist in Class III mode.

Although like the Model C above, it arrives to your home programmed as a Class II e-bike with a top speed of 20 mph for both pedal assist and the throttle.

(Bike manufacturers do this because Class III bikes aren’t legal everywhere, but Class II bikes usually are, so it’s all about keeping things nice and legal).

You can actually remove the throttle all together on the Level.2 and use it with pedal assist only and it’ll still work (for those areas where throttles aren’t allowed at all).

Anyway, this e-cruiser also comes standard with a 672Wh (48V, 14Ah) removable battery that’ll get ya upwards of 60 miles on a single charge.

And as I mentioned earlier, this e-bike is designed to perform a little better than most cruisers.

With an 8-gear drivetrain and built-in front suspension, the Level.2 can handle pretty well over rougher terrains when necessary.

And even though it doesn’t come with as many accessory options as the Model C above, it still comes with some nice features, including an LCD console, a rear rack, fenders, and front/rear/fender lights.

Aventon also offers 2 different sizes of this e-bike, allowing a wider range of users to ride comfortably.

Overall, if you’re looking for a step-thru cruiser that’s more performance oriented, Aventon’s Level.2 Step-Through is worth checking out. See full review .

#3 Blix’s Sol Eclipse

If you’re looking for a sophisticated e-cruiser with a smooth ride, Blix’s Sol Eclipse might be speaking your language.

At first glance, the Sol Eclipse looks like a classic cruiser- you’ve got the wide handlebars, large tires, and an extra-cushiony seat for added comfort.

You’ve also got a really low step-thru frame for easy access, which certainly adds to the beachy vibes this cycle exudes.

But the Sol comes with some awesome performance specs too.

This e-bike comes with a 750W rear-hub motor that can reach a top speed of 20 mph, making it a Class II e-bike.

And with a 614Wh battery (48V, 12.8Ah), you can expect upwards of 45 miles per charge, giving you plenty of range to hit the beach or run to town and back.

Additional features include a large LCD console with USB charging, built-in head light, an 8-speed shifter, hydraulic disc brakes, and a thumb throttle.

The biggest downside is probably that it doesn’t come with fenders or a rear rack, but you can purchase these separately if you like.

But the Sol does come in 4 different stylish colors to choose from.

Overall, the Sol Eclipse is a classic electric cruiser with some great components and impressive performance specs. It’s also pretty reasonably priced, which never hurts.

#4 Rad Power Bikes’ RadCity 5 Plus Step-Thru

Rad Power Bikes is known for their powerful, fun to ride e-bikes and I think the RadCity 5 Plus fits into both categories nicely.

Now the RadCity 5 Plus doesn’t really have the look of a traditional beach cruiser, but a lot of the main components are still there, like the step-thru frame, front/rear fenders, and large rear rack.

At first glance it might not scream cruiser, but at closer inspection, I think it definitely qualifies.

Regardless, there’s no denying this e-bike is built for performance.

With a powerful 750W, rear hub geared motor, the RadCity 5 Plus can reach a top speed of 20 mph with pedal assist or the throttle, making it a Class II e-bike.

It comes with 5 levels of pedal assist and a half twist throttle, allowing you to control how much assistance that motor is really providing.

This cruiser also comes with a 672Wh (48V, 14Ah) battery that should give riders an expected range of 28 – 50 miles, depending on how dependent you are on that motor.

An interesting feature Rad Power Bikes implements though, is regenerative braking, allowing the battery to be charged a little each time you hit the brakes.

Additional features include an LCD console, integrated headlight/tail lights, and a 7-speed shifter.

The only downside here is that the RadCity 5 Plus only comes with a 275 lb weight limit (including a 60 lb rear rack limit), so larger riders and folks with large payloads might not work.

But otherwise, the RadCity 5 Plus is a very advanced cruiser for the price.

#5 Ride1Up Cafe Cruiser

Ride1Up is a great e-bike brand known for offering surprisingly affordable options in each class.

In fact, only a couple of their bikes cost over $2k, making them quite budget-friendly as e-bikes go.

They offer a handful or so of e-bikes to choose from and the Cafe Cruiser is their only cruiser-style e-bike at the time of writing this.

The Cafe Cruiser is an attractive bike, taking the classic cruiser look and giving it a modern color scheme.

You can choose between 3 frame colors, but personally, I think the indigo is the clear winner here.

Anyway, the the Cafe Cruiser comes with a step-thru frame, wide handlebars, integrated fenders, and a rear rack that can safely handle up to 150 lb of cargo.

Under the hood, this e-cruiser is packing a 750W rear hub motor that maxes out at 28 mph with pedal assist and 20 mph under throttle control (Class III bike).

It also comes with a 720Wh (48V, 15Ah) battery that’ll be able to get ya 30 – 50 miles between charges, depending on riding conditions.

At 65 lb, this Cafe Cruiser is a little heavier than some competitors, but that extra bulk allows it to safely hold folks weighing up to 350 lb and who are up to 6’4″ tall.

So, larger riders, here’s a cruiser that can handle ya.

Other noteworthy features include an 8-speed gear shifter, LED headlight/tail lights, an LCD display, and a key operated removable battery for added safety.

Ride1Up only offers a 1 year warranty on their bikes, but with an asking price well under $2k, the Cafe Cruiser is a whole lot of bike for the price. See full review .

#6 Trek Kakau Cruiser Go!

Trek is a premiere manufacturer of all kinds of bikes and they’ve been going strong since the ’70’s. They offer just about any style of bike or e-bike you can think of and they’ve all got one thing in common…

Superior craftsmanship.

Yeah, Trek bikes are no joke – they tend to cost a little more, but as they say, you get what you pay for.

We bought my son a Trek bike when he was like 4 years old.

After a couple of years of not so gentle use, he outgrew it so we handed it off to my daughter who’s 2 years younger.

She’s been using it for a couple of years now and it’s still rock-solid – hasn’t skipped a beat in all that time.

Sadly, my daughter’s rapidly outgrowing that old Trek and won’t be fitting on it much longer… but man, what a great bike.

Anyway, Trek offers a ton of really high-end e-bikes to choose from, but I like their Kakau Cruiser Go! because it looks great and is reminiscent of the classic beach cruisers.

And it’s also affordable as Trek bikes go.

With the matte ember paint job, the Kakau Cruiser would fit right in on any tropical island and that rounded step-over bar is very sleek.

In terms of performance, this is a Class I e-bike that comes with a 250W rear hub motor that can reach a max pedal assisted speed of 20 mph.

It also comes with a 250Wh battery that’ll last ya up to 40 miles, depending on usage.

The Kakau Cruiser Go! is lacking a rear rack, but it still comes with a built-in headlight, tail light, custom grips, a bell, and 3 levels of pedal assist.

And with a weight of only 46 lb, it’s easier to move around than some of the other bulkier e-bikes mentioned above.

Overall, the Kakau Cruiser is as much a piece of art as it is a mode of transportation.

#7 Electric Bike Company Model Y

Finishing up my list here is another great cruiser by the Electric Bike Company – the Model Y.

The Model Y is similar to the Model C mentioned earlier, but this model is a little more affordable and it even looks more like a classic cruiser you’d expect to find roaming the boardwalks.

The Model Y does come with a step-thru frame and the classic elongated handles, as well as the included fenders and rear rack.

And this is Electric Bike Company we’re talking about here, so of course every aspect is customizable (even the chain guard, which you can get made out of real wood).

The Model Y also comes standard with an integrated front basket that attaches directly to the frame, so you won’t have to worry about it getting in the way as you manage the handlebars.

In terms of performance, the Model Y comes with a 750W rear hub motor that reach a top pedal assist speed of 28 mph and a top throttle assist speed of 20 mph (Class III).

And Electric Bike Company lets you choose between a 9Ah or an 18Ah battery (both 48V), giving you an expected range somewhere between 40 – 80 miles.

The Model Y also comes with the same cool internal battery charger found on the Model C, where you can simply plug your bike in and walk away.

Additional features include an LCD console, front/rear lights, and an included anti-theft system to help keep your bike safe.

And Electric Bike Company covers this bike with a fabulous 5 year battery, 10 year frame/motor guarantee as well.

Overall, if you’re looking for a classic cruiser that’s as customizable as they come, the Model Y is worth taking a serious look at.

Ok, that about does it for the top cruisers, but if you’re interested in learning a little more about the specs and features discussed above, keep reading…

What Makes A Cruiser A Cruiser?

There’s no set definition of what constitutes a “cruiser bike”, but over the years these bikes have certainly become their own style.

These bikes are also known as “beach cruisers” because they’ve become a popular mode of transport around, you guessed it, the beach.

Classic cruiser bicycles are designed with comfort and fun in mind, so they aren’t usually the highest-performing bikes, but they work great when it comes to biking around for the fun of it.

And these days, a lot of cruisers (traditional and electric) come with baskets or rigs on the back of the bike that makes them good for carrying loads (or additional passengers).

In other words, cruisers can work great when bopping around town running errands.

Anyway, most electric cruisers these days come with the following features:

Step thru frames
Wide handlebars
Larger seats
Fixed gear drivetrains (single speed)

Again, these rules aren’t written in stone anywhere, so e-bikes classified as cruisers may not have all these characteristics.

And I know that some modern cruisers are coming with additional gears and frames that look a bit more modern, so again, features will vary from model to model.

But the above represent what you should expect to see on a classic cruiser.

Anyway, moving on…

What To Look For When Comparing Electric Cruisers

E-bikes have been around for awhile now and their popularity is really taking off, which means we have a lot of options to choose from.

This is great because it gives us a better chance of finding something that fits our needs and budgets, but it also means it can become a little overwhelming trying to find the right bike.

Luckily, there are some things we can look for when comparing electric cruisers to help us find the best options.

These include:

Frame Style

If you’re looking for that classic beach cruiser appearance, you’re gonna wanna go with a bike that has a step-thru frame.

A step-thru frame makes the bike easier to get on/off of because you don’t have to lift your leg up as high to clear the horizontal bar found on step-over frames.

Which can come in handy if you’re dealing with limited hip/knee range of motion or you plan on using your bike to run errands where you’ll be getting off/on your bike often.

That said, step-thru bikes tend to be a little heavier to make up for the fact that they’re lacking the support from the the additional horizontal frame bar.

Step-over bikes are a little more challenging to mount/dismount, but they come with extra stability, that makes them better options for tackling hills and other more challenging terrains.

But again, we’re talking about electric cruisers here, so these bikes aren’t really the best option for off-roading and crushing steep hills anyway.

Many brands offer their electric cruisers in both styles, so regardless of which frame you’re looking for, you should have plenty of options to choose from.

Motor/Class

The motor is always an important spec to consider and the best option for you depends a lot on what you’re looking for and how you plan on using your cruiser.

Stronger motors come in handy for ascending steeper hills and reaching top speeds faster, but they also drain the battery faster and usually come with lower ranges.

On the other hand, weaker motors may have a harder time with steep inclines, but they won’t drain the battery as much, allowing them to last for longer durations.

Electric cruisers usually come with motors somewhere in the 250W – 750W range and top speeds vary between 20 – 28 mph, depending on the class.

Speaking of class, a lot of e-cruisers will be Class I bikes, meaning they don’t have a throttle (pedal assist only) and they top out at 20 mph.

But there are plenty of Class II & III cruisers available too if that’s what you’re looking for – just make sure it’s legal to ride ’em in your local area.

Battery/Range

The batteries found on these cruisers will vary just as much as the motors found on ’em and again, the best option for you depends on how you plan on using your bike.

Going with a larger battery usually increases the price, but it’ll also increase the range you’ll get between charges.

But if you only plan on short trips around town, you can easily get along with a smaller battery, especially if you take it easy on the pedal assist.

When comparing batteries, you can look at the amps, amp-hours, and voltages separately, but the easiest spec to look for is probably the watt-hour (Wh) rating (which is the product of the Voltage x Amp-hours).

Seeing higher Wh ratings mean the battery should be able to provide more range, but it really depends on a lot of factors, including your size, the terrain, and how much you use the motor.

Luckily, e-bike manufacturers provide the expected ranges, so you don’t have to do a lot of calculating.

Most electric cruisers can get somewhere between 20 – 60 miles on a single charge, but again, it depends on a lot of stuff.

Going through and comparing bike batteries and motors and looking at all the performance specs can seem like homework, but comparing features is the fun part.

E-bikes come with all kinds of additional add-ons, so it really just comes down to what you want.

Common cruiser features include:

Tail lights
Turn signals
LCD consoles
Passenger seats
Alarm systems

Many brands also allow you to choose between various colors and brands like the Electric Bike Company basically let you customize your entire bike.

I listed price last, but let’s be real – price is one of the top concerns for a lot of us.

Electric bikes in general can vary greatly in price, with high-end cycles going for as much as most cars, but luckily, most of the top electric cruisers for us recreational riders cost somewhere in the $1500 – $3000 range .

Factors that affect price include brand name, materials used, motor strength, battery capacity, and included features.

And as more and more e-bike brands emerge, these prices should continue to become more reasonable.

Final Thoughts

Electric cruiser bikes come in various shapes and sizes and their performance specs can vary greatly, as I’m sure you noticed.

When comparing bikes, try to keep in mind there’s no right or wrong answer regarding which bike is best – it all depends on your style and what you’re looking for.

If you’re looking for a comfortable bike to ride a few miles here and there, you may not need one with a really strong motor and a high capacity battery.

On the other hand, if you plan on using your cruiser to run errands and to travel longer distances, getting one with more impressive performance specs is likely a smart idea.

Either way you go, keep one thing in mind – these bikes are designed for fun.

And they sure do look good too.

Anyway, I hope you found this guide helpful and as always, if there are any great electric cruisers out there that I missed, let me know – leave a comment and I’ll get back to you shortly.

Happy cruising.

Honorable Mention Cruiser Electric Bike

Electric Cruiser Bikes Offer:

Comfort. These bikes are designed for comfort, frequently offering step-thru frames and forward pedal positions designed for full leg extension to reduce strain on your knees, hips, and ankles. Large seats, upright, relaxed handlebars, and longer frames engineered to keep your body properly aligned to prevent stress and soreness in your back, shoulders, and wrists. Upright riding with a wide view of the road and surroundings makes cruising a joy.
Style and Fun. Electric beach cruiser bikes have a distinct vintage style. Curvy swooping frames vs. hard angles, extra long handlebars, and paint matched fenders and chain covers are all hallmarks of this category. They’re designed to be easy to operate with large shifting mechanisms, twist throttles, and large LCD displays.
Economy. Electric Cruiser bikes are some of the most affordable ebikes since they generally use entry level components and few to no gears. One downside is that the larger frames and simpler parts tend to be heavy. Cruiser bikes are built for fun rides in nice weather, so they may have a rack or front basket to carry things.

Things to Consider:

Intended Use. Electric cruiser bikes are great for fun, short rides in nice weather, however, there are other categories of ebikes that offer improved performance, durability, or value that are worth considering. For off-road or light trail riding, mountain and fat tire models are a great choice. If you plan to ride more frequently and need lights, fenders, and more durable parts, consider commuter ebikes . If you aren’t locked into a cruiser style bike, but still but want to save money and get something simple, consider our list of affordable ebikes . Finally, if you have limited space or need to carry your bike up stairs, you could consider a folding electric bike
Total Cost. Remember to consider the costs of accessories and assembly if you buy direct. Add-ons can be expensive… so focus on total cost. A fully equipped already assembled ebike might be cheaper. For assembly, paying the professionals at a local bike shop can save time and money vs. the tools and mistakes of DIY.
Frame Style. Our list of in-depth reviews below showcases many high-step cruisers, but some of these companies also sell step-thru versions… We point it out in the short descriptions and on the full review pages under “frame types”. Furthermore, we’ve created a dedicated shortlist of winning step-thru cruisers here that you can explore for more ideas.

Best Premium Cruiser Electric Bike for 2024

The Electra Townie Path Go! 10D EQ is far and away the best cruiser electric bike available right now. That’s a strong statement, but I say it confidently because it can be measured. This is one of the only cruiser style ebikes that comes with the Bosch Performance Line mid-drive motor. Most competition either uses a hub motor or weaker Active Line drive system. Furthermore, it features a beautiful in-frame battery pack vs. bolt-on or rear-rack battery. This makes the bike look almost like it isn’t electric at all, and it lowers the center of gravity which improves stability! Many cruisers only offer one gear, or a very limited set of seven speeds. The Townie Path Go! 10D EQ has a 10-speed drivetrain with extra wide 11 to 42 tooth cassette. This is the kind of setup usually reserved for touring or mountain bikes because it helps with climbs but is still comfortable at higher top speeds. Of course, it also comes with premium hydraulic disc brakes that have adjustable reach levers (to fit different sized hands) and large 180mm rotors that offer a powerful mechanical advantage and cooling properties. This is exactly what you want for steep hills, heavier loads (using the included rear rack), or if you simply weigh more. The rear rack uses standard gauge tubing for use with trunk bags, panniers, or child carriers. There’s even a bungee loop at the base of the rack for simple lightweight items. Finishing touches include sturdy paint-matched fenders and chain cover, a large comfortable saddle (as you’d expect from any cruiser), and premium integrated lights. That list of components and design feature is great, but Electra also boasts one of the biggest bicycle dealer networks in the world, because they are part of the Trek Bicycle Company. This insures you’ll be able to touch, test ride, and get service for the bike. Did I mention that it comes in a wide range of colors, two frame styles (high-step and step-thru), AND two frame sizes? It’s an excellent all-around ebike in my opinion, and stands out as a cruiser based on the foot-forward pedal position, swept-back handlebar, and design aesthetic. Perhaps it’s overkill for many individuals who don’t need the fenders and want a hub motor with a throttle vs. the fancy mid-drive from Bosch. Electra offers complimentary cruisers that cost a bit less, including the Electra Vale Go! 9D EQ , a 9-speed equipped cruiser for $3.3k USD.

Best Value Cruiser Electric Bike for 2024

If you’re interested in saving some money but still want a powerful, approachable, and comfortable cruiser that doesn’t make too many compromises, I highly recommend the DŌST Drop. To be fair, this thing isn’t styled like a typical cruiser… but it does offer the same approachability and comfort, thanks to its adjustable angle stem, plush saddle, high volume tires, and adjustable suspension fork. Their optional second battery pack can double your range, which could be critical if you weigh a bit more, or tend to rely on the throttle frequently. It’s a feature that is very rare, and executed well here by DŌST. They keep motor and battery weight low and center on the frame, which improves balance, while reinforcing for stiffness with gusset plates at the steer tube and seat tube. The Drop uses a mid-drive motor from Bafang called the BBS02 that is extremely powerful and widely recognized for being reliable (having been around since 2013), but it’s also open to throttle input vs. pedal assist only. In order to make the bike reliable, given the powerful mid-drive motor, DŌST uses a physical shift sensor on their bikes that protects the chain and gears. They are one of the few companies that offer adjustable top-speed, which includes lowering to 10mph for improved range and safety or raising to 28mph. I love the attention to detail on this bike and all of its branded accessories. DŌST sells online, through shops, and even delivers in some regions. You can even visit their headquarters near Vancouver Canada, or chat with a sales person using a virtual conference system… which is pretty unique and fun. Other highlights include the hydraulic disc brakes with large 180mm rotors, tubular aluminum alloy fenders and chain cover, puncture resistant reflective tires, bright integrated lights, and and a sturdy rear rack. Trade-offs included heavier overall weight due to all of the included accessories, cadence sensing pedal assist vs. multi-sensor that can be a little smoother, and only having a single frame size and color available.

Best Affordable Cruiser Electric Bike for 2024

If you’re looking for the most affordable, but still great, cruiser style electric bike. I highly recommend the Blix Sol Eclipse. While it only comes in one frame size and style (step-thru), they do offer four beautiful color choices. The bike is extremely elegant, approachable, and capable while remaining relatively light for a cruiser. You’ll notice that it doesn’t come stock with fenders, a chain cover, or a rear rack… which contributes to the lighter weight and lower price, but Blix actually sells paint-matched fenders, a paint matched rear rack, and many baskets and bags for people who want them and are willing to pay extra. The hub motor on the Sol Eclipse is capable, and the battery pack is actually above average in terms of capacity. They work together to offer a zippy feel and decent range, even if you’re mostly using the throttle. The brakes are average with 160mm mechanical vs. hydraulic disc, but they still come with motor inhibiting brake levers for higher performance and safety. The bike relies on a cadence sensor, so it isn’t ad dynamic or efficient as the fancy mid-drives. Battery placement is excellent, low and center on the frame, but not as hidden as some others. The bike now includes an integrated headlight and reflective tires for safety, and the tires are also puncture-resistant! These are areas where they improved year over year from the prior generation, which probably contributed to the small price increase. With a large plush saddle, long swept-back cruiser bars, adjustable angle stem, and vibration dampening steel fork, the bike offers a fairly comfortable ride. I like that they include a plastic chain guide to reduce chain drops and protect your clothing, have a thoughtfully positioned kickstand that won’t cause pedal lock, and went with an intuitive twist-shifter vs. triggers.

Promoted Cruiser Electric Bike for 2024

Magnum pays us to promote their Low Rider electric bike here on EBR, but it’s worth noting that this is an invitation-only service. That means, we only invite companies that have a great value proposition and with whom we’ve worked for many years. The Magnum Low Rider is an outstanding choice if you’re looking for a cruiser electric bike with rear rack, fenders, and approachable frame. While it only comes in one color, the company has done an exceptional job matching accessories. Black is an easy color to match, but everything is satin vs. a mix of gloss and matte. Magnum chose fenders that hide the support arms, so you won’t get snagged and they won’t require balancing and adjustment the way that cheaper ones occasionally do. Notice the minimalist chain cover, that will help protect pant legs and dress ends from the chain. The rear rack uses standard gauge tubing to maximize compatibility with trunk bags and panniers, and they’ve even included a bungee strap. This electric cruiser also comes with lights, but unlike some of the premium offerings, these lights do not run off of the main battery pack… so you’ll have to recharge them independently or use disposable cells. What really sets it apart from the competition is an adjustable suspension fork! This, combined with the adjustable angle stem, will help to reduce wrist, arm, shoulder, back, and neck pain on bumpy terrain. The suspension they chose offers preload adjust, to “pre-load” the spring for light and heavy riders as well as a compression lockout. That means, if you only ride on perfectly smooth streets and want to eliminate bobbing, you can! As with many of the others on this list, you also get large hydraulic disc brakes with adjustable levers. The Magnum Low Rider offers pedal assist, throttle mode, and was designed to be sturdier than some of the deep wave step-thru designs that other cruisers are built around. This reduces frame flex, helping to eliminate wobble, and provides a sturdier platform for heavier riders and cargo on that rear rack. I think it also looks really cool. Unlike some other cruisers, this model does come with a multi-speed drivetrain. You get eight gears and the range is above average with 11-32 tooth cassette vs. 14-28. Topping it all off, Magnum is sold online direct and through a vast network of independent bike shops in the US and Canada. That’s wonderful if you prefer to visit and test ride before purchase, or just get help with assembly. This is really a great option, and another top contender for the value spot on the list. You pay a bit more, but you get a lot for it. Click the image or title below to visit the full review with more details, or add it to your compare list by clicking the box below.

Honorable Mention Cruiser Electric Bike for 2024

Rounding out this list of best cruiser electric bikes is the Specialized Turbo Como SL 5.0. This thing offers “super light” weight, an efficient mid-drive motor, and completely hidden non-removable battery pack… with the option to extend range using external water bottle shaped battery packs. As a relatively sporty and light weight rider, I have fallen in love with the entire line of Specialized SL models, and it’s nice to see the Como finally get this treatment. Note that Specialized does still offer the higher powered longer range standard Como model with Brose mid-drive. The Como SL 5.0 comes in three frame sizes, three colors, integrated front and rear lights, and includes a high-performance front rack system with removable plastic bucket. The rack is frame mounted, so it doesn’t impact steering and won’t spill as easily when the bike is parked and leaned to one side. The unique angled handlebar is a modern take on the swept-back cruiser design that offers similar comfort, but a shorter length that will fit through doorways more easily (or between cars and people if you ride through a crowded neighborhood). The minimalist chain cover is very functional, and the fenders are just incredible… seriously! Specialized makes some of the best fenders in the industry which extend farther down to protect your feet and shins. The flexible rubber design will bend out of the way if needed, but is mounted to a sturdy aluminum alloy main section so it’s also very rigid and quiet. Note that the tires are puncture resistant, have reflective sidewalls, and the front wheel is attached using an extra sturdy thru-axle! Of course, you’re also getting hydraulic disc brakes with adjustable reach levers here too. Specialized is sold through dealers and direct now, but I have found that they don’t have as many physical stores as Trek. I’ve also noticed that some of their bikes sell out early, which might be a reflection of inventory more than pure popularity. Other considerations include the stylish but less utilitarian rear rack, lower overall power, non-removable in-frame battery pack that could be exposed to extreme temperatures if you are unable to bring the bike inside. The custom MAHLE motor is great in concept, but less proven that Bosch, Yamaha Shimano, or Brose, which have been around longer.

Best electric cruiser bikes of 2024

1 . rad power bikes radcity 5 plus.

City cruiser with a front suspension. Score: 4.7 / 5 out of 1,400 ratings!

Price: $1,999 Rad Power Bikes

The RadCity 5 Plus by Rad Power Bikes is a true powerhouse. Strong, sturdy, hefty, and reliable – it’s ideal for those long commutes and meandering, explorational journeys.

The RadCity 5’s puncture-resistant tires work just as well traversing through smooth, flat roads as they do on treacherous uphill ascents. The 750W motor provides the power and you’ll expect to reach speeds of around 28mph on this bike.

If you’re a taller, heavier rider, then you’ll feel right at home on the RadCity 5 Plus . Larger folk really are the biggest benefactors of this bike as it can support riders who are 6’5″ tall and 275lbs.

The padded saddle and swept-back handlebars will keep you comfortable as you take advantage of its 50-mile max range.

The backlit LCD display is also top-quality, especially considering the RadCity 5 Plus’ status as a more affordable electric bike. Complete with a speedometer, a battery indicator, and a wattmeter, this electric bike aims to cover all your bases.

The Cons – Not everybody will appreciate the bulk of the RadCity 5 Plus. Its 65lb frame can be formidable for smaller, more lightweight riders, and its sheer bulk can make carrying the bike an exhausting task.

In Conclusion – The RadCity 5 is a stallion of a commuting bike. For the price of $1,999, it is one of the best value urban eBikes on the market.

The Cafe Cruiser is part comfort and part performance. Its lightweight frame and the rapid engine will get you to your destination quickly whilst the plush, padded seat and swept-back handlebars will get you there in style.

Safety is another important part of the Cafe Cruiser. Complete with hydraulic brakes and powerful front and rear lights, riders can feel assured that the bike has got their back.

If Ride1Up had just one improvement to make, it would be the two-tone LCD display. While it’s intuitive and easy to read, it would be great to see a color LCD display on future models.

In Conclusion – Ride1Up is on to a true winner with its Cafe Cruiser. For $1,595, this bike has all the features of a top-quality electric beach cruiser bicycle.

3 . Schwinn Mendocino

Electric hybrid cruiser bike

Price: Check on Amazon

There’s an old-school charm about Schwinn ’s Mendocino electric bicycle. The stylish frame and retro-looking handlebars certainly give this bike a timeless look.

Equipped with pre-installed fenders and a rear bike rack, this 250w bike is capable of reaching a 20mph top speed. There are also five different pedal assist settings and a 6-speed Shimano twist shifter. Whilst it doesn’t have an LCD screen, it does have LEDs on its front displaying battery life pedal assist settings.

It’s no powerhouse, but it’s a smooth, comfortable ride fitted with tires that are suitable for a variety of terrains. The range is also respectable for this price range – 45 miles maximum, but for a retail price of just $1,599, you get plenty of bang for your buck.

The Cons – The lack of suspension may be a turnoff for some. Whilst this may be part and parcel of the Mendocino very affordable price, it’s still disappointing to note.

In Conclusion – Considering how affordable this Schwinn electric cruiser bike is, it possesses a surprising amount of cool features. The rear bike rack is a great touch, and the range of pedal-assist settings is a treat. It certainly feels enjoyable to ride and the tires will handle pretty much every terrain.

Electra’ s beach cruiser electric bikes have one of the best values in terms of price-to-quality ratio.

Owned by Trek bicycles , Electra has put up a number of mid-and entry-level bikes at an affordable rate. The reason why they have managed to keep the prices low is the number of in-house components used.

Based on the Electra Cruiser 1 bike, the Townie Go! 8D EQ is a great choice for anyone who needs a bike for everyday commutes but prefers the ultimate comfort factor.

6 . Cannondale Treadwell Neo 2 EQ

Modern and fast cruiser electric bike

Price: $2,175

This electric beach cruiser may look innocuous, but it packs a lot of punch. Behind its fully-equipped setup lies a bike that is bound to be a head-turner.

Fitted with a 250W rear hub motor, riders can expect a 47-mile max range at speeds of 20mph. The 650b x 47mm tires also provide plenty of cushioning and comfort while cruising.

There’s also a 250Wh Lithium-Ion battery. The 8-speed microSHIFT system gives riders tremendous versatility on roads, hills, beaches, and trails.

Larger riders may feel awkward riding this model as it is primarily built for people between 4’11”-6ft tall. So keep in mind that it can feel a little too small if you’re of above-average height.

Cannondale Treadwell Neo 2 EQ appeals to the needs of its target market very well. Its small size may be a hangup for some, but it remains an impressive e-bike with a lot going for it. Retailing at the respectable price of $2,175, it makes for a great introduction to the world of electric bicycling.

7 . NAKTO Fat Tire Electric Bike

Best fat tire beach cruiser bike

This fat tire cruiser is ideal for smooth gliding across a range of differing terrains.

Whether you’re cruising along a sandy beach or merely getting to the office, this electric bike has you covered. Its carbon steel frame is extremely sturdy and shock-resistant. Its 300lb max loading weight is a testament to its strength, as the bike itself only weighs 68lb.

A unique step-through frame helps riders keep a low center of gravity and is suitable for a variety of different body shapes and sizes.

This NAKTO cruiser comes equipped with a 300watt brushless motor that generates a top speed of 30mph. A 36V10Ah Lithium Battery gives this pedal-assist beach cruiser a range of around 30-40 miles with pedal assist.

Of course, the tires on this cruiser are certainly an area of discussion. These 26×4 wheels will help you get out of a variety of sticky situations and awkward terrains.

The Cons – There are a few areas of this e-bike that are very average – the pedals (which are a little generic) and the brakes (which are noisy and difficult to control at times). The cruiser also lacks good suspension and riders can often feel the impact of the terrain below on their backsides.

Aluminum frame
360Wh battery – 35V 10Ah Charge time: 4h

8 . Gazelle Arroyo C8 HMB Elite

Urban comfort eBike

Price: $3,700 Mike’s Bikes

This rapid, affordable cruiser is deceptively powerful. The Arroyo C8 has a 250W, 50Nm Bosch motor and a 500Wh battery located in the downtube, this battery is removable for charging. Riders can expect a 70-mile range out of this cruiser which is impressive considering its price.

The Arroyo has a 30mm headset-integrated suspension that boosts comfort by absorbing road vibrations and 1.75″ tires ensure plenty of grip and extra damping.

This fully-equipped urban comfort machine is a fantastic option for those brand new to the world of e-bikes. Not only is it a great mid-level option, but its decent speed and long-lasting battery are features that will appeal to even advanced riders.

9 . SixThreeZero EVRYjourney 500W

Best eBike cruiser under $2,000

Comfort and ease are the two cornerstones of the EVRYjourney 500W bike.

Its ergonomic design and swept-back handlebars are perfect for relaxed beach cruising and laid-back exploration. Built more for effortless riding than pure performance, this e-bike is ideal for the more casual market.

Powered by a 500watt rear hub motor, this eBike is a smooth ride under full motor power or pedal assistance. With a respectable range between 30-40 miles, the 26’’ tires give riders tremendous coverage across a variety of terrains.

Expect top speeds of 15-20mph. The 62.4lb, 19’’ frame includes both a rear rack mount and a rear fender mount. Its unique design keeps riders in a low position to the ground, providing a greater sense of control and engagement.

There’s also a backlit LCD screen complete with a speedometer, power meter, and battery gauge.

The Cons – Those who are seeking pure performance with their e-bikes may find EVRYJourney’s offering a little underwhelming. More suitable as a mellow electric beach cruiser than a high-speed transport tool, commuters may find this ebike cruiser a little on the slow side.

Users have noted slight quality control issues with the handlebar grips and rear fender installation too.

In Conclusion – For a low-moderately priced electric bike, EVRYJourney’s 500w cruiser has a lot going for it. Perfect for those laid-back summer explorations, this e-bike will keep you comfortable and looking stylish for the duration of your journey.

10 . Ecotric Electric Cruiser

Best cruiser eBike below $800

This budget-level electric cruiser bike is ideal for both new electric commuters and more casual street riders. A low retail price points out to an electric bike without many extras but the Ecotric Cruiser definitely delivers plenty.

Armed with a 350W geared hub motor and a 360Wh battery, the Ecoctric e-Cruiser has a 21-40 mile range and a top speed of 21mph on a charge time of seven hours average.

A pair of 26 x 1.95’’ tires sit below a comfortable low-step frame. Complete with mixed brakes (front v-brake and rear disc brake) and bookending fenders, this 55lb electric cruiser has a lot going for, including a Shimano 7-Speed shifter.

The Cons – One slight drawback of the Ecotric Electric Cruiser is it doesn’t have lights powered by the battery pack. Whilst this is by no means a dealbreaker, it does mean riders will have to purchase some for city riding.

In Conclusion – Despite a handful of minor annoyances, this bike is a sleek, stylish cruiser that is designed for smooth riding and user comfort. It achieves a great balance between comfort, versatility, and value and would be a great option for many new riders.

The Cruiser Go! has a one-size-fits frame and weighs 45lbs with the battery included. Expect a respectable 40-mile max range out of this bike. One notable feature that it boasts is the patented Flat Foot Technology which allows you to keep a foot on the ground while sitting.

Best Beach Cruiser Electric Bikes | 11 Cool & Comfy Rides

Like apple pie, baseball, and the moon landings, beach cruisers’ swept-back handlebars, and retro, low-slung styling are synonymous with American culture. The style’s roots can be traced at least back to the mid-1950s, but it burst into mainstream popularity thanks to the California surf scene in the 1970s.

Since then, the popularity of beach cruisers has waxed and waned through the decades, but thanks to the rise of electric bikes, the category is once again surging in popularity.

Loved for their looks and comfort, nearly every e-bike brand has its electrified take on the classic design. With so many options on the market, it can be tough to figure out which electric cruiser is right for you.

That’s why our team of expert testers put together this list.

Before we get into our picks, it’s important to note that the term “cruiser” can mean a lot these days. It can still evoke the classic beach cruiser look, but it can also relate to relatively lightweight, contemporary designs with relaxed Dutch-styled geometry—we like to call these “city cruisers.”

We’ll paint with broad strokes, but if you’re seeking bikes with a relaxed look and vibe, you’ve come to the right place.

Our Best Beach Cruiser Electric Bikes for 2024

Electric bike company model s, blix sol eclipse, velotric discover 2, ride1up cafe cruiser, electric bike company model r.

Specialized Turbo Como SL

Vvolt Alpha II

Aventon pace 500.3, velotric discover 1, retrospec chatham rev+, electric bike company model y.

Electric Bike Company is known for its beach cruisers—and for good reason, as virtually all of the brand’s e-bikes are cruisers. With a focus on style and customization, EBC provides arguably the greatest number of customization options to create the most individualized e-bikes on the market. For this reason, the Electric Bike Co. Model S leads our roundup.

When building your custom bike on EBC’s website, it’s easy to focus on the myriad of available color choices, but paint colors are just the tip of the iceberg. Few companies offer such a wide range of component options, including battery, suspension, drivetrain, and more.

Buyers can also choose from the brand’s many upgrade options, such as an anti-theft alarm, a torque sensor for more responsive pedaling, and an extended warranty (though the company’s standard warranty is already nearly unparalleled in the industry).

While EBC e-bikes come in a single size, most models can be outfitted with either 26” or 24” wheels. Shorter, more petite riders can select the smaller size to reduce the bike’s standover height and boost its handling, while taller and heftier riders might prefer the larger size.

We’ve included a few other EBC models on this list, but the Model S has an easily rideable step-thru frame and some of the brand’s most premium trim options—including a custom wood chainguard and fenders.

Riders who want an e-bike that reflects their personal style will love the amount of customization EBC offers.
Like most cruisers, the Model S gives riders a very comfortable and upright seated position.
The 500W hub motor performs like a more powerful motor without the added weight and reduced range of a larger drive unit.
We think it should be quick and easy for riders to get a feel for thanks to its simple operation.
EBC builds their e-bikes in the US and offers an industry-leading warranty for their products.

The Model S fell short of EBC’s projected range of 100 miles but still achieved a respectable 66 miles in our testing.

With a beachy, retro vibe, the Blix Sol Eclipse sports a highly capable 750W rear hub motor, wide tires, and an LED headlight for nighttime rides. Aside from those features, the bike is a relatively simple and straightforward cruiser with few bells and whistles. As with all of Blix’s e-bikes, however, its finish and overall build are noticeably high-quality.

The bike features trademark cruiser-style swept-back handlebars and a wide, cushioned, and supportive seat. We found the Sol to be fun, comfortable, and easy to use—all qualities that are synonymous with the beach cruiser design and ideal for those seeking a relaxed experience.

For those who might prefer to increase the bike’s functionality, the Sol is compatible with Blix’s proprietary modular rack system. This allows users to carry cargo on the front of the bike and/or cargo or passengers on the rear.

We think the Sol Eclipse would be a solid option for anyone looking for a well-specced, thoughtfully built, and affordable beach cruiser.

The Sol’s low-step frame design makes it easy to get on and off the bike.
Blix’ modular rack system is cool and super functional; it can make the bike more versatile than the average beach cruiser.
The 614 Wh battery is plenty big for most trips, with enough capacity to soothe range anxiety.
This bike is a climber; the 750W hub motor flattened hills like nobody’s business.
It’s simple and clean, meaning that it looks good and is extremely easy to use.
The frame is one size fits all. We typically like to see different frame sizes so riders of different body shapes/sizes can get a more precise fit.

While the Discover 2 might differ greatly in appearance from the classic beach cruisers on this list, it’s not so different in its feel; the bike has a comfortable, upright riding position, curved and ergonomic handlebars, and a relaxed ride feel we found equally well suited to leisure rides and commuting.

In fact, the Discover is an incredibly versatile e-bike; through a variety of riding modes and customization options, it can be tailored to meet the preferences of most riders, young and old. Users can alter the bike’s fit through its adjustable stem, its power level through a total of 15 assist levels, its speeds through Class 1/2/3 flexibility, and more.

It also features many uncommonly high-tech features at its price point. Velotric included a host of bells and whistles, such as turn signals, a “set and forget” cruise control function, and security through Apple Find My™ technology. It also sports an MIK-compatible cargo rack and a total payload capacity of 440 lbs.

We liked the bike’s comfortable saddle, its quick handling, and its vast array of customization options. We think the Discover 2 would be a superb choice for riders seeking a high degree of functionality and value in a bike made for fun and relaxing rides.

The Discover 2 is highly customizable; whether you prefer a fast and powerful ride or something more relaxed and casual, the bike can be set up to match.
The Discover’s 440-lb total payload capacity is huge! We’ve tested cargo bikes that don’t go that high.
It includes many uncommon techy features at its price point, including cruise control and Apple Find My™ compatibility.
We got excellent range from the bike’s 706-Wh battery.
Its motor output didn’t seem to drop in power as the charge depleted, as many e-bikes often do.
We found that the bike’s torque sensor made us work harder than expected to access the motor’s full output.

The Ride1Up Cafe Cruiser trades some of the typical cruiser’s laid-back personality and retro design for a healthy dose of motorcycle styling and an extra dollop of speed.

The bike features a 750W motor capable of a maximum pedal-assisted speed of 28 mph. It’s also specced with an 8-speed Shimano drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes, and an integrated rear rack that can hold up to 130 lbs.

Ride1Up offers many useful accessories, including a Passenger Kit that allows the bike to carry a second rider with the addition of a seat pad, wheel guards, and footpegs. Its cargo-carrying capabilities can be supplemented with the addition of a front rack, while riders looking to maximize comfort can add a suspension seatpost.

The Cafe Cruiser also has wide 26×3” tires that serve to add cushion, stability, and traction to the ride. A suspension fork with 80 mm of travel (enough squish to take the sting out of rough pavement) adds to the comfortable ride, while the bike’s back-swept handlebars and its springy saddle keep things feeling relaxed.

Riders who want a cruiser with the functionality of a versatile commuter will appreciate the Cafe Cruiser’s front and rear lights, kickstand, fenders, and a stout rear rack. All it needs to round out the motorcycle-like design is a set of saddlebags—and Ride1Up offers those, too!

It’s stylish and speedy; the Cafe Cruiser is a Class 3 cruiser with a max pedal-assist speed of 28 mph
We love the 8-speed Shimano Acera drivetrain and the great ergonomics of the under-bar trigger shifter
The integrated rear rack has a high weight capacity that can also carry passengers!
We appreciated the Cafe Cruiser’s spirited acceleration, confident cornering, and calm handling.
The 3”-wide tires and suspension fork helped to make the ride comfortable and stable.
The 750W hub motor worked well on average hills but was short on torque and struggled on larger ones.

Electric Bike Company is a brand that deals exclusively in ultra-comfortable rides, yet the Model R might be the brand’s MVP.

Many of the bike’s features are geared toward comfort, including its standard suspension fork, wide saddle, and step-thru frame. The bike’s handlebars also play a role, though you can pick the handlebar that best suits you: flat MTB-style bars, BMX riser bars, classic mustache bars, or even up-high chopper-style bars.

As with all EBC e-bikes, the Model R can be colored, equipped, and tuned to your liking—far beyond what other brands offer. We highly recommend opting for the suspension seat post and backrest, as the Model R then essentially becomes a Lay-Z-Boy on wheels.

The bike puts a serious emphasis on comfort, yet the ‘R’ in its name stands for “rugged.” We found its performance to be accurate; the bike’s 750W motor packs the power needed for rougher roads, and its stable 3″-wide tires felt grippy on less-than-smooth trails. The Model R also comes with MTB-level Tektro Dorado 4-piston hydraulic brakes for superior stopping power.

Throw in the ability to choose the different colors of the frame, fork, and more, and you have an ultra-comfortable and capable e-bike that you can totally make your own.

The Model R’s standard setup is extremely comfortable thanks to its ST frame, cushy saddle, and suspension fork.
Most cruisers are limited to paved surfaces. The Model R is more versatile and capable of riding over rougher areas.
Riders have the unique ability to choose their preferred style of handlebar. EBC offers four options with their own style of handling.
Our testing backed up the bike’s great all-around performance.
EBC offers an industry-leading 10-year motor and frame warranty, with two years on the battery.
It’s a large and heavy bike. You don’t feel it on the roads, but you might when maneuvering it around the garage..

Specialized Turbo Como

One of the sharpest-looking cruiser electric bikes on our best list, the Specialized Turbo Como is built around a proprietary motor and battery that also make it lightweight, stealthy, and very nice to pedal. It comes in a few different trim options with differences in specs and features, so we’ll attempt to address them all here.

The Turbo Como is the second non-performance Specialized e-bike to get the company’s “Super Light System” motor and battery. This powerplant is lighter than you’d traditionally find on an e-bike, but it’s been carefully tuned to replicate a rider’s natural pedaling. While the motor on many e-bikes can outright overpower a rider, this one is designed to give a much gentler assist.

Aside from the SL system, the Turbo Como is thoughtfully designed with an integrated front rack, lights, and fenders. We think its overall design is downright cool, and its low-step build makes it easier to get on and off the bike.

At 47 lbs (give or take, depending on the specific model), it’s lighter than average for a cruiser-style e-bike. The premium parts and construction make it a worthy addition to our best electric cruiser bike list.

If you’re looking for a cruiser with a gentler feel, or if you’re sold on e-bikes built by one of the global leaders in bicycling, the Specialized Turbo Como is worth a look.

The Turbo Como’s Specialized Super Light System is one of the best-designed e-bike drive systems on the market—it’s incredibly smooth and natural.
The Nexus internally geared rear hub requires far less maintenance than a traditional bike drivetrain.
Our range test showed that the bike can travel an impressive distance of over 60 miles on a single charge.
47 lbs is extremely lightweight for a cruiser bike, making the bike easy to handle, transport, etc.
It’s versatile and could easily double as a commuter or city bike.
The SL drive system’s lighter power delivery should work well for experienced cyclists, but it may not fit those looking for more oomph.

The Vvolt Alpha II blends elements of a cruiser with those of a lightweight city bike, making for a ride that feels extra zippy, comfortable, and easy to use. With a headlight integrated seamlessly into its streamlined down tube, we think the Alpha II also looks pretty slick!

With a weight of 45 lbs including its fully-integrated battery, the bike is undoubtedly one of the lightest on this list. This gave the Alpha II a nimble, energetic feel that stood out when compared to many of the larger, more relaxed cruisers that appear here. Yet, the bike was still comfortable thanks to its backswept, Dutch-style handlebars, ergonomic grips, and relaxed riding position.

The Alpha II includes an approachable, gradually accelerating throttle, but its design encourages active pedaling. With a single-speed drivetrain, riders can adjust their preferred difficulty of pedaling through the bike’s assist system without the need to shift gears. We found this easy to use and adjust to (if you’re used to shifting gears).

We appreciated some of the less obvious things about the Alpha II, including its mid-step frame, the pack mounts on its rigid fork that can carry storage bags or other gear, and the low-maintenance benefit of its belt drive. Users should expect much less maintenance with its single speed-drivetrain and Gates belt when compared to a traditional chain and cassette.

The Alpha II’s low weight of 45 lbs makes it easy to lift and gives it extremely nimble handling.
We found the bike simple and easy to use thanks to its single-speed drivetrain.
The Gates Carbon belt is rated to last twice as long as a chain, plus it’s quieter and cleaner, too.
The Alpha II blends a city bike with a cruiser, keeping the latter’s comfortable ride and relaxed positioning.
A larger chainring would help reduce ghost pedaling that started around 15.5 mph for us.

As one more “city cruiser” option, the Aventon Pace 500.3 is another contemporary take on the cruiser style. It features a clean and fairly compact design, an upright riding position, swept-back handlebars, and a relatively low weight below 55 lbs.

We liked the Pace 500’s comfortable feel and its quick handling. While it might look different than a traditional cruiser, we found it equally comfortable. The bike’s lightweight nature, and cruiser-style handlebars made it fun to steer. Its 500W motor (hence the name) felt surprisingly responsive thanks to a torque sensor—and unexpectedly powerful, too!

The bike’s relatively stripped-down nature (it does not include a suspension, a cargo rack, or fenders) lends itself to traveling light, whether commuting to work or cruising around town. With the integration of turn signals into the frame’s seat stays, it’s also well suited to busy streets where communication with other drivers/cyclists is needed.

The Pace 500.3 is a popular choice among senior riders due to its comfort factor and manageable weight. It appeals to a younger crowd due to its sleek frame and its quick handling. With a torque sensor that allows its motor to adapt to its rider’s preferred level of effort and desired speed, we think the bike is ultimately a great choice for just about anyone.

A torque sensor can make the bike feel more natural to ride for those used to non-electric bikes.
Brake lights & turn signals integrated into the frame can help increase safety.
We found the upright riding position, the saddle, and the handlebars/grips to be extremely comfortable.
It comes in both a step-thru and high-step frame style.
The bike had fantastic handling that felt quick and responsive.
It doesn’t include extras like fenders or a cargo rack.

Velotric Discover 1 Electric Step Thru Bike

Do all cruiser e-bikes need to look like cruisers? Not necessarily. Sure, cruiser e-bikes tend to have swoopy tubes and look like throwbacks to another era, but what really sets cruisers apart from other e-bikes are their upright seating positions, comfortable ride, and calm handling.

The Velotric Discover 1 may not have the retro look of many of its peers, but we assure you that it checks all the important boxes. It features a comfortable saddle, relaxed and curvy handlebars, and a step-thru frame design (it also comes in a traditional frame design) that makes it easy and user-friendly for riders to mount and dismount.

You might notice that Velotric already appeared on this list with the Discover 2. In an unexpected twist, the brand did not discontinue its first version of the bike but instead decided to offer it as a similar-looking but more affordable option.

The Discover 1 is relatively basic and uncomplicated when compared to its newer, fancier sibling. Where the Discover 2 includes high-end features such as a torque sensor, turn signals, and multiple riding modes, the Discover 1 uses a simple and easy torque sensor and is relatively feature-light. As such, we recommend it to those who prioritize simplicity and affordability.

Riders who want a speedy e-bike to commute to work on will appreciate that the bike can be unlocked for Class 3 performance, with a maximum assist speed of 25 mph. With the colorful, contemporary design that is Velotric’s trademark, we think it’s a practical, approachable, and still head-turning e-bike that won’t take a huge chunk out of your wallet!

We dig Velotric’s design aesthetic; the clean look and bright color options help the Discover 1 stand out from the crowd.
It’s tough to beat the bike’s value, as it packs in all the essential features we want but at a seriously affordable price.
Three pedal assist settings (instead of the usual five) make the bike simple and enjoyable to operate.
The Discover 1 offers a complete commuter-friendly package thanks to the inclusion of a rear rack, fenders, and lights.
Ships as a Class 2 e-bike with a throttle but can be unlocked for Class 3 speeds.
Our testing showed the bike’s range to be practical but nowhere near the advertised 80 miles.

There’s a certain set of expectations when it comes to cruiser-style e-bikes: in most cases, we anticipate a comfortable ride, reserved speed and uphill power, and a classic look. The Retrospec Chatham Rev+ impressed us by checking the expected boxes—and adding a few fresh elements to the mix!

First, with tan-wall tires, a muted green paint job (it has four old-school color options), and aluminum trim aplenty—there’s no denying its retro design. The down-tube-integrated battery, however, is a decidedly contemporary addition that gives it an updated look and feel.

Second, while the bike offers a couple of slower speed limits among its 6 PAS settings, its 500W motor felt more spirited and lively than we typically associate with cruisers. We found its swift acceleration to be delightful!

Third, in terms of comfort, the Rev+’s saddle, handlebars, and grips were exactly as comfortable as we anticipated for a bike of this style. We were more impressed by its 3”-wide tires, however, as they made the ride of the otherwise rigid frame feel cushioned and soft.

Finally, as shown on this list of the best beach cruisers, e-bikes of this style span the full range of prices. We often expect some tradeoffs in feel when dealing with e-bikes on the affordable end of the spectrum, but the Chatham Rev+ felt far better than we expected for its price of around $1,300!

The Chatham has an uncommon fusion of old- and new-school design with classic styling and an integrated 500 Wh battery.
We liked its better-than-average feel and performance, especially for its price of about $1300.
It has a category-appropriate level of comfort with its riding position, wide saddle, and 3” tires.
The bike was fast and capable on hills thanks to its relatively punchy 500W rear hub motor.
Our testing showed that it has impressive range capability for its specs.
We’d prefer more distinct 4 PAS settings instead of the six that come standard.

Electric Bike Company Model Y Electric Bike Review

There’s a reason we selected multiple Electric Bike Company models for this list, but few e-bikes capture the beach cruiser ethos quite like the Electric Bike Company Model Y.

For starters, the Model Y’s classic beach cruiser styling is iconic, and its low-step frame design makes it easy to get on and off the bike.

Second, Electric Bike Company boasts one of the most complete customization setups in the e-bike industry. The brand’s website allows customers to build and personalize their e-bike by choosing options including the frame and fork colors, battery size, drivetrain type, fork type, and even the color of the spokes laced into the wheels. It’s impressive, to say the least!

Don’t be fooled by the Model Y’s relaxed beach cruiser looks; this e-bike is extremely capable. The version we tested came stock with a powerful 500W rear hub motor with a torque sensor that felt extremely responsive. It climbed well and could easily cruise at Class 3 speeds. The bike also had great battery life with multiple capacity options to match the rider’s desired range.

We think the Electric Bike Company Model Y is a stellar beach cruiser electric bike that not only looks the part but is likely to have more than enough juice to get you to the beach or the boardwalk and back with ease.

The Model Y’s classic cruiser styling has near-limitless customization options for colors, components, technology, etc.
An optional dual battery system can extend the bike’s range, though we were impressed by the standard battery’s performance.
As with all EBC bikes, the Model Y is assembled and painted in Newport Beach, CA (not shipped directly from China).
Riders can choose from either Class 2 or Class 3 riding modes depending on their desired speed and local laws.
A front basket comes standard, where this would usually need to be added separately on other bikes from different brands.
We found the battery difficult to remove. It can be charged on the bike, but the added weight might make the bike harder to lift when needed.

How We Picked These Electric Cruiser Bikes

We evaluated the best cruiser e-bikes based on a few key criteria, mainly:

Comfort and style: An electric beach cruiser bike that isn’t comfortable just doesn’t make sense. Comfort is central to what a cruiser is, so the geometry needs to be upright, the seat cushy, and the riding position laid-back. Beach cruiser electric bikes also have a very particular style, so we made sure all our picks matched the expected look and feel.
Ease of use: Cruiser bikes need to be approachable for anyone, which is why you’ll see many bikes on this list in a step-thru frame design. They also need to be easy to stop and start, so we looked for bikes with geometry that allows riders to touch their feet to the ground when seated.
Components and extras: Does the bike have baskets and bags? Racks and fenders? What about optional customizations you can order with the bike? Most of our picks include these things or at least allow you to add them later.
What does the manufacturer say it was built for?: E-bikes of all types can be used for just about anything, but we take into account what the manufacturers say their bikes were built for. We sometimes deviate from their definition, but more often than not, we trust that they built the bike and know what it’s best for.

Bottom Line: Gone Are the Days of Slow Beach Cruisers

Cruisers’ upright body positioning and low-slung geometry are double-edged swords. They help make the ride forgiving and comfortable, but these factors can also make it difficult to pedal uphill or over long distances. Fortunately, e-bike motors have solved this problem, giving cruisers the extra boost needed to make them both capable and comfortable.

But how do you choose the best electric cruiser bike for you? This is a very tough and very subjective question to answer.

The bike salesman in me wants to point you toward your local bike shop and tell you to test ride as many as possible until you’ve got a good feel for what you want. But nowadays, with more brands going to a direct-to-consumer business model, test riding a bike in person is not always an option. That’s where the team of experts at Electric Bike Report comes in.

We spent days testing each of the bikes on this list. We put them through a gauntlet designed to demonstrate their braking ability, hill climbing prowess, and the distance they’ll go on a single charge.

In our e-bike reviews , we strive to demonstrate how bikes perform in the real world. If you have to make a buying decision without the chance to see the bike in person, this allows you to establish a good idea of what to expect when it shows up at your door.

If you’re on the hunt for the best cruiser electric bike, you’ve come to the right place.

The only BEACH CRUISER is the FAT tire bike (biktrix). The rest of your bikes would not move in the sand and therefore cannot be considered beach cruisers, Also with such small motors they would hardly move the bike anyway, Unless you walk along side and push.

March 12, 2022 at 8:14 pm

Beach cruisers are not meant to ride on sand. They’re meant to cruise along a boardwalk or paved beach bike path.

June 27, 2022 at 1:00 pm

I second what Margarete says. Fat tire bikes are a complete gimmick and do not ride on sand anyway. Try it sometime and see how squirrely they are. You’ll see how ridiculous this statement is. Cruisers do not typically have fat tires.

April 9, 2023 at 8:19 am

I’ve notice everyone’s version of a fat is slightly different. For a roadie the old fashion cruiser tire can be considered slightly fatter. Yet not quite what got started as the fat tire more toward scooter width or toward a motorcycle with minimized tread. I’ve found a little more tire when saying getting toward a beach state park barrier Islands, bridges to cross for speed and then going on trails in the throttle adjust assistant while walking it along side into uncharted full sand trails helpful. But I did not need a true fat tire to do so. Because people may be walking thru. If I was on a true wide width fat tire full on all while thru road or full sand trail the wider off road tire and fat tire. Yet that would be a trail not many pedestrians would be on strolling. If near a beach area. The road would have sand in most areas. Roadies venture medium to slow to avoid sliding out. A hybrid slightly wider than road tire ismore my choice in and on beach areas or other sand areas. This way your trail never feels it ever ends. Casual and friendly.

July 17, 2021 at 12:21 pm

Good job guys. I live in St. George or Washington city rather too. I bought an E-Glide 4 years ago and a Juiced Scorpion last December. The Scorpion is so fun to ride. Thanks for your input on everything.

August 2, 2021 at 8:06 am

How about soul beach cruisers, currently waiting to recieve one, coolest looking beach cruisers I’ve seen and have affordable model for under 2000

June 17, 2022 at 6:36 pm

Depends on the beach. The beaches of at least SC and GA, and probably much of the Atlantic coast South of maybe NC, at low tide are perfect for any of these e-bikes… The sand left at low tide is hard-packed and perfect for riding any fat tired bike. Only issue with beach riding is the same anywhere though, can’t escape the impacts of salt on the components… worth it. Nothing better than low tide at night with a full moon to see by… Thanks for the article, good stuff.

The 14 Best Electric Bikes of 2024

We’ve tested dozens of electric bikes in every category—commuter, cargo, cruiser, folding, mountain, and city. Here are the ones worth considering in a range of styles and prices.

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. How we test gear.

The use of electric bikes continues to grow. And all types and ages of riders are getting e-bikes. Whether you need an e-bike for commuting, riding the bike path, getting around town, or mountain biking, there is an electric bike for you.

Many factors contribute to the rapid expansion of e-bike use—better batteries, more efficient motors, and lower weights—but the biggest reason is this: electric bikes are a blast to ride. The pedaling assistance provided by e-bike motors makes going up hills easier, allows riding longer distances, and enables riders to carry more cargo. With summer winding down and fall riding season coming soon, now is a great time to buy an electric bike. Plus, many brands and dealers have sales and discounts on popular e-bike models.

Shopping for an e-bike can be confusing—there are many e-bike categories, options, and prices; and sometimes it’s hard to know which e-bike is right for you. Electric bikes are priced from under $1,000 to well over $10,000, Through ride testing and research, Bicycling ’s Test Team found many great e-bikes priced between $1,500 and $3,500. For this roundup, we focused on these lower and mid-price models—most you can purchase online directly from the brands. Many excellent e-bikes are also available through bike shops.

Brands like Aventon , Ride1Up , and Lectric offer affordable models you can buy online that have all performed well in our ride testing. If you want to purchase an electric bike in person (or test ride before you buy) established players like Specialized and Trek offer many types of e-bikes and have hundreds of dealers nationwide. Additionally, REI has many locations across the country offering its Co-op e-bikes and models from other popular brands.

How We Test E-Bikes

Our full electric bike reviews, things to consider when buying an e-bike, how to buy a used e-bike.

Our experienced bike test team evaluates each model included here on its overall quality, safety features, handling, motor, and battery life. We also assess whether the components and features add to the overall quality of the ride. Bicycling editors tested these bikes on local roads, commuting to and from work, using them to stock up on groceries and beer, and running their batteries down to see how long they last on one charge.

Deputy editor Tara Seplavy , the author of this article, also worked in bicycle product development for two decades and led product management for major bike brands. Plus, she commutes to Bicycling's headquarters daily on an e-bike.

While we rode most of the e-bikes in this story, sometimes we can’t get our hands on a great electric bike. In those cases, we rely on the expertise of our test team, interviews with product managers, and rigorous research to compare the bikes’ value and performance against similar models we’ve tested.

Aventon Level.2 Electric Bike

Although we loved the original Level , its update is an improvement in practically every way. A smoother riding bike than its predecessor, it sports a new torque sensor that evenly distributes power, resulting in a more natural ride feel that’s easier to control and manage. Its update also adds visibility, not just with integrated lights, but a full color, easy-to-read display. The Level.2 isn’t just one of our favorite e-bikes—at its price, comfort level, and premium features, we think it just might be the best.

Our only gripe is with its Zoom Aria suspension fork, which can’t handle bigger bumps, though the lockout feature works well. When it hits these large bumps, the fork's rebound is unpredictable and rapid, and it tends to bottom out. Still, if you need an e-bike for doing just about anything, from commuting to work to zipping around pavement on the weekend, the Aventon Level.2 is our top nomination.

Lectric One eBike

A big reason to consider Lectric’s One, according to Test Editor Dan Chabanov, is Pinion, a German brand that manufactures high-end and fully enclosed gearbox units—sort of like an internally geared hub, he notes, except mounted in the bottom bracket.

Most consumers don’t know about the brand, explains Chabanov, because Pinion products are typically found on very pricey and niche bikes. Having this system on a $2,400 commuter e-bike, he notes, is very exciting, especially since it’s a part usually reserved for bikes triple that price.

Chabanov was impressed with not only the Pinion system’s smoothness and precision, but the hub motor as well. While the improved cadence sensor was better than others he’s used, Chabanov notes it was still very much a cadence sensor. “Like most cadence sensor-equipped bikes, the One feels disconnected from the motor,” he says. “This feeling is from a combination of lag (though very slight in this case) and because the force put into the pedals does not relate to the motor’s output. Both factors result in a slightly unnatural motor response.”

Still, it didn’t take Chabanov long to get used to how the One delivers its motor assist. The One is an ideal option for riders who seek a dependable, low-maintenance, all-weather commuter bike with the bells and whistles of a bike that usually costs much more.

Aventon Aventure.2 Electric Bike

Aventon has been on a roll with its new models and continuous revisions to existing platforms. The brand’s update to its Aventure fat-tire e-bike is no exception. At first glance, there are few significant visual differences between the original Aventure and this second-generation model. However once you ride it, the small changes add up and feel huge.

Compared to the original Aventure, this second gen rides more smoothly. The new torque sensor allows more control over the acceleration of Aventure’s 750W rear hub motor; lighter-weight testers found the previous model to have too much torque, but the latest Aventure remedied this fault. Additional updates include a new head unit interface, integrated turn signals, a front light, a rear rack, and fenders for keeping clean.

The Aventure.2 is an excellent fat-tire e-bike for commutes, especially on snowy days and gravel pathways. Off-roading, it excels on doubletrack trails, but with this burly bike’s weight and components, it has limited functionality on singletrack and more aggressive mountain trails.

More of the Best Fat-Tire E-Bikes

Rad Power Bikes RadRover 6 Plus Electric Bike

Brawny, big, and bold, the RadRover 6 Plus is powerful at its best and sluggish at its worst. With its 750W rear hub, 4-inch-wide tires, and RST spring suspension fork (with 60mm of travel), it’s cushy and stable enough to tackle potholes as well as dirt, rocks, and snow.

Compared to its predecessor, an updated display and solid hydraulic disc brakes make the RadRover 6 Plus a more comfortable and relaxed ride. It also comes in at just over $1,ooo, making it reasonably priced.

With its extreme weight of 74 pounds (without a rack), we wouldn’t dare to roll this thing upstairs. If you need a do-it-all bike to help get you to and from work or the grocery store and frequently battle the elements while doing it, or if you have a lot of land you’d like to tear up, the RadRover 6 is your beast. But anyone living in a small space might have trouble handling this steed.

Cannondale Neo Adventure Allroad Electric Bike

If you want a quality e-bike but are unsure of where you will ride, Cannondale’s Neo Adventure Allroad is a solid choice. Its 2.6-inch-wide knobby tires are suitable for dirt paths and rail trails but the bike is lightweight and nimble for commuting and riding around town.

The tires’ extra width helps smooth out the ride without needing a heavy suspension fork, although they buzz a little on the pavement. The 250W Bafang hub motor works well for flat roads and gentle hills but it lacks power for steeper terrain. (If you need extra power, check out the Allroad S with a 750W motor and 28 mph top speed.)

We tested the Allroad EQ model that sells for $1,875. It is the same as the base-level Allroad and adds fenders, a rear rack, and hydraulic disc brakes. If you’re on a tight budget, get the Allroad, but if you can spend more than $2,000 get the Allroad S.

Available in standard frame

Velotric Discover 2

For less about $1,900, the Discover 2 is better equipped and more powerful than some bikes double its price. With its low step-through frame, 440-pound maximum capacity (bike + rider + cargo), and torquey motor, this Velotric is great for around-town use, commutes, and running errands. What’s more, Velotric offers baskets and racks to expand the Discover’s cargo-hauling abilities—perfect for those weekend rides to the farmers’ market.

Velotric offers the Discover 2 in four colors and two sizes. Our 6-foot test rider found the size large fit well for her height. Additional highlights included the suspension fork with lockout, 8-speed Shimano drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes, and an adjustable cockpit. The Discover has a bright and easy-to-read color display that allows easy customization of the bike’s assistance levels and speed limit.

We found the bike had plenty of pep on flatter roads but due to its weight, the bike can bog down on steep hills if using only throttle assist. The Discover 2’s only big issue is front wheel wobble. It is only noticeable with both hands off the bar but is something that may concern some riders

Aventon Ramblas eMTB

The Aventon Ramblas is a category-defining hardtail e-MTB that impressed us during trail testing. Its trail-forward components include a 1x12 SRAM Eagle drivetrain that can handle most climbs, powerful four-piston SRAM brakes, a solidly stiff 35mm RockShox fork, a comfy dropper seatpost, and cushy 2.4-inch wide tires. These are unmatched by any other hardtail e-MTB, especially given its price.

The Ramblas has no true competitors for comparatively priced, trail-ready e-MTBs. Every so often a bike comes along that entirely shifts the bicycle market—the Ramblas might do that for mountain biking. And once more bike brands see and ride the Ramblas, I expect several will soon follow Aventon’s lead with sharp-priced, trail-capable hardtail e-MTBs.

Ride1Up Cafe Cruiser Electric Bike

Sometimes, you just want a classic cruiser to take out on the weekends. And if that casualness is your desired style, the Ride1Up’s Cafe Cruiser is your best bet. Strapped with a built-in rack, front and rear lights, a 750W motor, hydraulic disc brakes, a decent suspension fork, and 3-inch-wide tires, this upright bike is stable enough for newer e-riders, and with an added passenger kit , the little one, too.

Our testing found that the bike had plenty of oomph to climb short hills despite its weight and laidback geometry. But, like several wide-tire bikes, it has some handling issues. It’s capable of speeds up to 28 mph (and 20 mph using the throttle), which is more than enough power to get you where you need to be.

Ride1Up Portola Electric Bike

Ride1Up’s new Portola folding bike packs a lot of punch for how small it is. Folding down to a compact 19- x 29.5- x 33-inch footprint, this bike features a 750W rear hub motor with 65Nm torque, hydraulic disc brakes, a Shimano 8-speed drivetrain, and an integrated rear rack with 130-pound carrying capacity.

For less than $1,000, this is a great deal for bimodal commuters, RVers, vanlifers, or folks living in a small apartment. The standard 10.4Ah battery has a claimed range of 20 to 40 miles. Or bump the range up to 45 miles with an optional 13.4Ah battery for an additional $100.

Salsa Confluence Apex 1

With its 250W Mahle X35+ rear motor, 250Wh integrated battery, and concealed controller, it is hard to tell that Salsa’s Confluence is an e-bike until you get up close. The Mahle drive system operates smoothly and is quieter than low-cost hub motors. This bike’s 40NM torque provides pedaling assistance up climbs and long gradients. However, as a class 1 e-bike, the Confluence lacks a throttle, so you must pedal to engage the motor.

Salsa’s claimed range of 45 miles is not ideal for long days in the saddle (especially when using the maximum assist level). However, Mahle offers a range extender battery (almost twice the stock battery capacity) for longer or overnight trips.

Specialized Globe Haul ST Electric Bike

If you need to haul it all, go with our 2023 Bike of the Year : Specialized’s Globe Haul ST. With a carrying capacity of a whopping 419 pounds, it’s good for a range of riding tasks, from grabbing groceries to dropping Fido off at doggy daycare.

Specialized designed this bike with the average commuter in mind, motivating riders to swap those short- and medium-distance car trips with a bicycle instead. The result is a well-designed short-tail cargo bike with wide 20- x 3.5-inch tires that can eat bumps while keeping you stable and low to the ground. It’s also a blast to ride.

Our test editor Dan Chabanov says it feels much more like a traditional bike than a souped-up e-cargo, which is to say, it’s actually fun. “If you haven’t ridden an e-cargo bike, you might take this for granted,” he says. “But the reality is that even some of the more compact e-cargo bike options out there often don’t ride like a typical bike, or worse, they simply ride poorly. As a cyclist, one of the Haul ST’s most enamoring traits is how much it rides like a ‘normal’ bike. Well, that and the ability to carry a week’s worth of groceries on it.”

Velotric T1

Hybrid bikes combine elements of road bikes (lightweight frame, 700c wheels) and mountain bikes (flat handlebar, wide-range gearing, and sometimes suspension). These bikes offer a compelling combination of traits that can make hybrids the best choice for many riders’ commuting, fitness, or leisure needs.

One of Seplavy’s top choices is Velotric’s T1. Sporty and quick, the bike handles much like some road bikes. Credit that snappy feel, she says, to the T1’s 350W rear hub motor and road bike-like geometry, but also from its weight at 36 pounds.

Velotric packs plenty of tech features into the T1, too. There’s a torque sensor for a smooth and natural pedaling feel and a light-sensing headlamp that turns on when it gets dark. For security, there is a fingerprint lock on the bike plus GPS tracking and theft alert via Velotric‘s app.

Trek Verve+ 3 Lowstep

Seniors come in all shapes and sizes, so it’s difficult to recommend just one e-bike model for every type of rider. But based on conversations with Bicycling members and our experience working in bike shops and at cycling events, many older riders seek a few common traits in an electric bike. They want something easy to get on and off, simple to use, low maintenance, and smooth riding.

Trek’s Verve+ 3 Lowstep checks off each of those boxes. The trusted and smooth-riding Bosch Active Plus motor system powers the Verve+. The 250W mid-drive motor has 50Nm of torque and powers the rider up to 20 mph. This Trek also features a wide-range Shimano 9-speed drivetrain for getting up hills. Powerful and reliable Shimano hydraulic disc brakes handle stopping duties.

The Verve+ 3 Lowstep uses a step-through style frame (it is lower than many other e-bikes) that makes getting on or off the bike easy. It also features a suspension seatpost to smooth out potholes and bumps on the road, and an adjustable height and rise step to dial in your riding position.

Since Trek has hundreds of dealers and company-owned stores throughout the country, you’re never far away from a Trek shop if you need service or repair. Plus, the Bosch and Shimano components are among the most-trusted and durable parts in the category.

Bluejay Premiere Edition

If you’re looking for a fun bike for summer rides around town or to the beach, Bluejay’s Premiere Edition should be on your list. Bluejay combines elements of classic cruisers and townie bikes into a stylish electric bike. We found the bike ideal for trips to the farmers’ market, morning coffee, or weekend brunch and rides with the kids or friends.

A 350-watt Bafang mid-drive motor (powered by a removable 550Wh battery) is at the heart of the Premiere Edition. It uses a torque sensor for smooth pedal response and has a maximum assisted speed of 20mph. Shifting duties are handled by Shimano’s low-maintenance 8-speed Alfine internal hub.

Bluejay sells this model in two sizes (small for riders 5-feet-5-inches and under, and large for riders 5-feet-6-inches and taller) and 15 fun and poppy colors (including Luxe Camel, Hot Pink, and Citrus Orange).

While the Bluejay is a little pricier than some other e-bike options, it comes fully loaded with front and rear racks, lights, fenders, a bell, and an adjustable stem. The rear rack can accommodate up to 55 pounds of cargo and is compatible with a Thule Yepp Maxi child seat (sold separately).

A Few E-Bike Terms to Know

Measured in Newton meters (or Nm), torque is a rotational measurement of force—and the number to pay attention to when you want an idea of an e-bike motor’s output. More torque means more power off the line and more boost to your pedaling.

The heavier the bike, the more torque it needs. Lighter road bikes typically have 30 to 40 Nm of torque, and trail and cargo models (generally) have at least 80 Nm. Most commuter bikes fall somewhere in between.

The size of an e-bike’s battery is measured in watt-hours (or Wh). This measurement represents the energy stored in the battery and how many watts it can deliver each hour. The higher the number, the longer the range, but the faster you go, the faster you drain the battery.

So, if a 504Wh battery paired with a 500W motor gives you one hour of ride time at the highest assist, riding at about half that power will double your range.

Locking Battery

a removable battery helps for charging off the bike

Many e-bike brands seamlessly integrate batteries to make the bike look sleeker (and more like a traditional non-assist bike). Most batteries lock to the bike and come with a key that lets you unlock and remove it, which serves multiple purposes: You can remove the battery and charge it off the bike, plus a locked battery deters (and hopefully prevents) a thief from stealing it. And an e-bike with the battery removed is safer for hauling on a bike rack and lighter for carrying up steps.

Stability and Control

front tire of coop cycles generation ebike

Since e-bikes can maintain higher speeds for longer than standard bikes, you want extra control when riding. Wider tires provide better traction and the freedom to leave the pavement with little penalty, and a suspension fork will help tame some of the rougher roads you might explore. Good disc brakes are a must, too, for slowing a heavy bike at high speed. This is not a place to skimp.

Integrated Lights

Some e-bikes have an integrated lighting system that turns on when you power up the bike. While this is a great feature, it’s not a deal-breaker if your bike doesn’t come equipped this way. It’s just as easy to attach your own since so many great bike lights are available.

Warranty and Service

E-bikes need regular maintenance and repair to stay in good working condition. Because they’re heavier and go faster than non-assist bicycles, e-bikes often require more regular service on parts like brakes, tires, and drivetrain components. We recommend having a good relationship with a local bike shop experienced in e-bike repair to keep your equipment running smoothly.

E-bikes use electronics for their motors, batteries, and displays. These parts are often proprietary to bike brands or even specific e-bike models, making replacement more difficult than parts on non-electric bicycles. Make sure to use the correct electronic replacement parts to avoid damaging your e-bike (or it catching fire).

Established brands usually (but not always) have a good supply of these parts for replacement, even for years after a bike goes out of production. Bosch and Shimano are two e-bike motor manufacturers with some of the most compatibility between bikes and stock parts for previous generations of systems.

Look for e-bikes from brands that offer at least a one-year warranty on electronic components (many brands’ warranties are longer) and make items like replacement batteries for your bike. These parts are usually not cheap (sometimes up to half the cost of a new bike), but it’s the difference between having an e-bike that can be repaired or becomes a bicycle-shaped paperweight if something goes wrong.

Certification

Following a dramatic increase in fires caused by the lithium-ion batteries used in electric bikes, there is a push from local officials, regulatory agencies , and advocacy groups across the U.S. for improved safety certification of e-bikes, batteries, and motor units. On September 16, 2023, a New York City law went into effect requiring that any e-bike sold in the city “has been certified by an accredited testing laboratory for compliance with Underwriters Laboratories (UL) standard 2849”. And in November 2023, Amazon announced it ceased sales of illegal batteries to New Yorkers.

However, just because something is marketed as UL 2849 compliant, tested to UL 2849, or even “certified to UL 2849” does not mean it is UL Safety Certified. Ibrahim Jilani, UL’s Global Director of Consumer Technology, notes: “Certification is always earned by a manufacturer and not a given when they undergo a product submittal. The UL Mark, or any authorized certification mark, can only be issued upon successful demonstration of meeting the requirements of the safety standard.” You can find UL’s updated list of products Certified to UL 2849 here .

We contacted many e-bike brands on this topic. Most companies informed us they are working toward the certification process. So, expect the list of certified e-bikes to grow in the coming months. If owning a UL 2849-certified bike is important to you, ask the brand from which you plan to purchase it for proof of certification. You can cross-reference OSHA ’s Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories if you want to dive deeper into the topic.

Conversion Kits

Several manufacturers offer kits to add pedal assistance to a non-electric bike. We purchased a few popular conversion kits, fitted them to bikes, and rode them. We do not currently recommend these kits for use. While converting an old bike to an electric assist sounds good in theory, it rarely makes practical sense. Plus, it can lead to rider injury or failure of the bike.

Manufacturers do not design non-electric bikes to accommodate the extra weight and forces incurred when adding an e-bike motor, battery, and control equipment. This puts more stress on the bicycle frame and other components and can lead to breakage or failure of the bike.

Selecting most conversion kits requires knowing fitment details about your bike and might require specialized tools for installation. Many do not have a straightforward installation process, and it can be a challenging project for novice mechanics. If you want a shop to install a conversion kit, check with the shop before purchasing it. Since most non-electric bikes are not engineered to accommodate electric conversions, many shops will not install these kits.

Many economical e-bikes do not cost much more than the total price of a conversion kit plus the installation cost. We recommend buying a purpose-built e-bike for the best and safest experience.

The Three Classes of E-Bikes

After determining which style of bike is right for you, the next consideration is which class of e-bike best fits your needs. In the U.S., there are three e-bike classifications. These are defined by the type of assist and how fast the motor will propel you. Most electric bikes are defined as class 1 or 3. Class 1 bikes have a motor (max 750W) that assists while pedaling up to 20 mph. Class 3 (sometimes known as “speed pedelec”) can have up to a 750W (aka 1-horsepower) motor but can assist you up to 28 mph. Both are allowed in most states and cities without needing a license.

Class 2 models have become more popular with riders, especially at lower prices. These models have a throttle that can propel a bike up to 20 mph without needing continuous pedaling.

Some bikes blur the lines. Aventon’s popular Pace 500 , for example, is technically a Class 3 e-bike in that it reaches speeds up to 28 mph, but it also has a throttle that tops out at 20 mph (the maximum legal speed for a throttle).

Good quality e-bikes can cost a lot of money; purchasing a pre-owned bike is one way to save some cash and get a better model. If you want to shop for a used e-bike in person, some bicycle stores offer refurbished units. Shopping in person allows you to check the integrity and condition of the bike before you buy it. When purchasing from a shop, make sure that the retailer is experienced with e-bike service and that the bike includes the proper charger and battery.

If purchasing a used e-bike directly from another owner on a third-party site, it’s wise to have the bike inspected by an experienced e-bike shop or mechanic before handing over your money. E-bikes experience higher wear-and-tear than non-assist bicycles, and many e-bikes use proprietary parts or require special tools to service or update software.

With the boom in e-bike sales, a few websites have recently sprung up selling reconditioned and certified e-bikes. Often, these e-bikes have low mileage or were sales floor samples at shops—some are even brand new or are new old stock of a previous model year. While it costs more than purchasing from an individual seller, buying a used bike from these sites usually means you have some sort of warranty on your e-bike and ensures that it was inspected properly.

Two sites offering high-quality, certified pre-owned e-bikes include Upway and TPC.

Selecting the perfect electric bike for your needs is easy. However, it may seem overwhelming when you’re faced with tons of options, and you’re unsure which one will fit your needs perfectly. The critical answer here resides in understanding your preferences and matching it with the right bike model that offers the same. Electric Bikes, for instance, offers tons of options from electric commuter bikes to electric mountain bikes .

What is a Cruiser Electric Bike?

One of these options is the Cruiser Electric Bike. From the name itself, Cruiser Electric Bikes are built for cruising. This kind of electric bike is well-known for offering ultimate comfort and style with its plush saddle seat that allows you to sit in an upright position. The bike also has wide handlebars, and in most models, the pedals are positioned further forward, which allows you to rest your feet comfortably. With this kind of built, you will surely enjoy cruising with this cruiser.

So, why choose a Cruiser Electric Bike?

Reasons for Buying Electric Cruiser Bikes

Environmentally friendly

Electric Cruiser Bikes are a great choice for those who are mindful of their impact on the environment. These bikes run on electric power, which is a clean and renewable source of energy. By choosing an electric cruiser bike instead of a traditional gas-powered bike or car, you reduce your carbon footprint and help to minimize air pollution. This is particularly important in urban areas where air quality can be a significant issue.

Additionally, electric cruiser bikes offer an excellent alternative to using public transportation or driving a car. They are a more eco-friendly way to commute or travel short distances around town. With no emissions and the ability to travel at a reasonable speed, they are perfect for those who want to be environmentally responsible while still enjoying the freedom and flexibility of a personal mode of transportation. Overall, electric cruiser bikes are an excellent option for anyone looking to reduce their impact on the environment while still traveling with ease and convenience.

Cost-effective

Electric cruiser bikes offer cost-effectiveness in various ways. Firstly, they are cheaper to maintain compared to cars or motorcycles. With no need for fuel, oil changes or extensive repairs, electric bikes prove to be pocket-friendly in the long run. Additionally, they offer a lower cost per mile compared to traditional gas-powered bikes.

Secondly, electric bikes can be a great alternative to public transport or commuting by car, saving money on gas or public transport fares. With the added benefit of being able to avoid traffic and easily find parking, electric cruisers can be a convenient and cost-effective mode of transportation for daily commutes or short distance trips.

Overall, investing in electric cruiser bikes can be a smart financial decision that offers savings in both the short and long term, making them an attractive option for many riders.

More efficient mode of transportation

Electric cruiser bikes offer an excellent option for efficient transportation. Compared to traditional bikes, electric cruisers allow riders to travel farther and faster with less physical effort. It’s especially helpful in hilly areas, where some people might struggle with a traditional bike. Additionally, the electric assistance on cruiser bikes allows you to cover more substantial distances with greater speed, making it an excellent choice for commuting or running errands.

Moreover, electric cruisers are eco-friendly, and they take the burden off traditional modes of transportation.

To sum it up, electric cruiser bikes are a more efficient mode of transportation that enables people to travel faster, farther with less effort while having a positive impact on the environment.

How to Choose the Best Electric Cruiser Bikes?

One of the most important things to keep in mind while looking for electric cruiser bikes is to find one that fits your riding style. There are a host of other factors you must also consider before making a final decision.

Price range

Price range is an important consideration when buying electric cruiser bikes for several reasons. First, electric cruiser bikes can be expensive, and the more features and advanced technology they have, the higher the price will be. Therefore, it is important to determine your budget and what features you need in a bike before making a purchase.

Another important factor to consider is the cost of maintenance and repairs. Electric cruiser bikes have batteries and motors that will require servicing or replacement over time, and these costs can add up quickly. Therefore, it is important to consider the long-term cost of owning an electric cruiser bike, including maintenance and repair costs, when determining your budget. Overall, considering your budget and the long-term costs of owning an electric cruiser bike can help you make an informed purchase decision and ensure that you get a bike that best fits your needs and lifestyle.

Battery life

Battery life is a crucial factor to consider when purchasing an electric cruiser bike because it determines how long you can ride the bike before needing to recharge the battery. The longer the battery life, the more you can enjoy your travels without any interruption. It is particularly important to consider battery life if you plan to use your electric cruiser bike for long-distance riding or commuting. If the battery life is not sufficient, you may need to stop and recharge the battery during your journey, which can be inconvenient and time-consuming.

Moreover, the battery is a fairly expensive component of an electric cruiser bike and may require replacement over time. Therefore, choosing a bike with a powerful battery that lasts longer can save you money in the long run. You may also want to consider the charging time and the availability of charging stations when choosing an electric cruiser bike. A battery that charges quickly and has readily available charging stations can make your bike rides more convenient. Thus, battery life is an important factor to consider when buying an electric cruiser bike, and it is essential to choose a bike with an adequate battery life to meet your specific needs.

Motor power

Electric cruiser bikes are great for leisurely rides and commuting. However, it is important to consider the motor power before making a purchase. A higher-powered motor allows for faster acceleration and higher top speeds, making it easier to navigate hills and tackle headwinds. It also provides better performance and a smoother ride experience, ultimately enhancing the overall enjoyment of the bike. Therefore, it is recommended to opt for a higher-powered motor based on your needs and preferences.

Additionally, motor power also affects the range and battery life of the electric cruiser bike. A higher-powered motor often consumes more battery power, reducing the range and battery life of the bike. Therefore, it is essential to consider the motor power and battery life as a combination to ensure that your needs are met. Ultimately, understanding the motor power and battery life of the electric cruiser bike can help you make an informed decision and select a bike that fits your lifestyle and preferences.

Weight capacity

Weight capacity is an important factor that needs to be considered before buying electric cruiser bikes. Electric cruiser bikes are designed to carry a specific amount of weight, and exceeding this weight limit can lead to several consequences, including reduced performance, decreased battery life, and increased wear and tear on the bike’s components. It is vital to consider weight capacity and choose a bike that can comfortably carry your weight and any additional gear or luggage that you might carry.

In addition, exceeding the weight limit can also pose a safety risk, causing accidents and damage to the bike. Therefore, before purchasing an electric cruiser bike, it is essential to check the manufacturer’s recommended weight limit and choose a bike that can comfortably accommodate your weight while still maintaining optimal performance, safety, and durability. By considering weight capacity, you can ensure the longevity and reliability of your electric cruiser bike.

Comfort features

Comfort features are vital to consider before buying electric cruiser bikes because they impact the riding experience. Cruiser bikes are designed for comfortable, leisurely rides, and incorporating suitable comfort features enhances the rider’s experience. Some of these features include adjustable seats, ergonomic handlebars, and cushioned saddles that enhance comfort during extended rides. Comfort features contribute to reduced fatigue and ensure safe and enjoyable rides.

Additionally, comfort features help to achieve proper posture while cycling, reducing back, shoulder, and neck strains. Some of these features include grips with ample padding, foot and pedal placements for comfortable leg positioning, and secure handbrake levers that reduce stress in the wrists. Investing in comfortable electric cruiser bikes increases the cycle time while also offering the rider an enjoyable, healthy, and safe experience.

Brand reputation

When looking to buy an electric cruiser bike, it is vital to consider the brand’s reputation. A brand with a good reputation will likely have superior-quality bikes, excellent customer service and support, and they may also offer warranties or guarantees on their products. In contrast, a brand with a poor reputation may offer sub-standard bikes, have poor customer service, and not guarantee their products. Choosing a reputable brand means that you’re investing in a bike that will likely last longer and have a higher resale value, and you’re also ensuring that you have access to reliable customer service if you encounter any issues.

Moreover, a brand’s reputation often reflects its commitment to ethical and sustainable manufacturing practices. Choosing a brand that has a strong reputation for ethical and sustainable practices means that you’re investing in an electric cruiser bike that’s been produced in a socially responsible way. It’s essential to consider these factors while selecting an electric cruiser bike to support brands that prioritize their social responsibility and contribute positively to society. In brief, it is an investment in a better and sustainable future.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an electric cruiser bike.

An electric cruiser bike is a type of bicycle that features an electric motor and battery system to assist the rider in pedaling. The bike is designed for comfort and leisurely cruising, with a relaxed riding position, wide handlebars, and a cushioned saddle. The electric motor provides additional power, allowing the rider to cover more distance with less effort, especially in hilly terrain or against headwinds. Electric cruiser bikes are popular for casual riding and commuting, as they offer a fun and eco-friendly alternative to traditional transportation methods.

How fast can electric cruiser bikes go?

Electric cruiser bikes typically have a top speed of around 20-30 mph (32-48 km/h), depending on the model and the power of the motor. However, many electric cruiser bikes are designed to prioritize comfort and leisure over speed, so some models may have a lower top speed of around 15 mph (24 km/h) or even less. Additionally, the speed of an electric cruiser bike can be affected by factors such as terrain, weight, and battery life.

It’s important to note that there may be legal restrictions on the top speed of electric bikes in certain areas. In the United States, for example, electric bikes that can reach speeds higher than 20 mph (32 km/h) may be classified as mopeds or motorcycles and subject to different regulations. It is always important to check local laws and regulations before riding an electric cruiser bike.

How long does the battery last on an electric cruiser bike?

The average speed and range of an electric scooter for rough terrain can vary greatly depending on the specific model and brand. Generally speaking, these types of scooters are designed with larger, more durable wheels and sturdier frames to handle uneven terrain such as dirt paths or rocky roads.

The average speed for an electric scooter for rough terrain can range anywhere from 10-20 mph depending on the model, battery life, and surrounding terrain. As for range, some models can travel up to 25 miles on a single charge, while others may only go 10 miles. It’s important to do research before purchasing an electric scooter for rough terrain to ensure that it meets your needs and expectations.

Electric scooters with smaller wheels are generally not suitable for rough terrain. Smaller wheels have less shock absorption and lower ground clearance, making them more prone to getting stuck and causing discomfort to the rider. However, some electric scooters come with suspension systems and larger wheels, making them better equipped for off-road or rough terrain use. It’s important to consider the terrain you will be riding on before purchasing an electric scooter.

This is a great bike! So fun and easy to ride..

Amazing! Thank you for the wonderful review. We are so happy to hear you love your bike!

I love the bike. I had it assembled at a bike store. I’m 63 and not the most agile. I’m getting used to its bulky and heavy features. Fortunately, I live near a bike path so I don’t need to transport it.

Hi Debra, we are so glad that this item is a match. Thank you for the review!

From buying, assembling, and riding this has been an extremely positive experience. Online ordering was easy. The bike was delivered quicker than I expected and was well packaged. After watching the videos assembly was not difficult. The workmanship on the bike is excellent, all components function as designed. I live in. +55 community with miles of multi modal paths and the Pace is perfect for that type of riding. My only issue with the bike is that the lcd display is difficult to read even on cloudy days, forget it on sunny days. But I use the Aventon app on my phone to get the information. Aventon is highly recommended in my book!

Thank you for the review and feedback Ken. We are so glad that this has worked out for you! Happy Riding!

Awesome bike! Purchased for my wife and I to ride along the coast..

Thank you for the review. We are so glad that this has worked out for you! Happy Riding!

What Is A Electric Beach Cruiser

Cruiser eBikes feature the same retro styling of a classic cruiser with curved frame tubes, big tires, and a wide, spring seat, but add an electric motor to provide assistance. They let you sit upright, look around, and take in the scene with a relaxed, comfortable posture.

Beach cruisers have a long history, originating in the 1930s when Schwinn starting building bikes to resemble European motorcycles with balloon tires, a headlight, and a faux gas tank.

In the 1970s, the beach cruiser experienced a resurgence in popularity throughout Southern California. People recycled old cruiser bikes and used them as inexpensive and practical transportation solution to go between town and beach. Today, the beach cruiser continues to be a nostalgic icon in coastal locales across America.

These days beach cruiser feature the latest technology in electric motors, giving you an extra power boost to help carry coolers and beach supplies.‍

A reliable prediction

With Cowboy, you'll always have a reliable source of power when you're on the road.

The app uses predictive technology to calculate your remaining autonomy based on your riding behaviour. Whether you're usually carrying an extra heavy load, requiring more power from the motor and battery, or cycling in tough road conditions, you'll always know about how much power you have to get to where you're going and back.

And if ever we detect you'll soon run out of juice or won't have enough for the return trip, we'll notify you it's about time to recharge or switch to power saving as you ride.

Battery level estimation

With Cowboy, you're in charge. We keep you informed of your current battery level before, during and after each ride so you can always plan ahead.

Through predictive technology in the app, we show you how much you'll have left at the end of the ride. If you'll run out of power soon, we'll notify you that it's time to recharge. Then simply remove the battery with a turn of a key and carry it inside. It weighs only 2.4 kg and charges fully in 3hrs 52mins.

With proper care of your battery, you'll get the most out of its expected range so you can roam further. It's common for lithium ion batteries to reach a lower range in different conditions, such as during cold weather when it can temporarily lose up to 10km of autonomy, or in more challenging terrain like hilly roads or start-and-stop traffic.

How AdaptivePower works

As you ride, the bike detects any resistance that could slow you down, like a strong headwind, steep incline or extra weight, then adapts automatically to give you the power you need to overcome the elements.

There's 45 Nm of torque in a compact and silent motor as soon as you push ahead. Torque sensors know when you need more power to take an incline with ease.

With you in control, the motor gives you seamless support at low and high speeds. No gears, just a constant source of power.

Electric Cruiser Bikes – Everything You Need to Know

Table of Contents

Electric Cruiser Bikes are making a huge comeback into the cycling scene. What once were considered “retro-looking” are now gaining popularity among recreational riders and commuters.

These classic designs are now being adopted by many conventional and electric bicycle manufacturers. In this post, we’ll be discussing what electric cruiser bikes are, the differences between them and regular e-bikes, and also the different types of electric beach cruisers.

What Is an Electric Cruiser Bikes

Photo created by trekbikes

An electric cruiser bike is a motor-powered, low-speed bicycle designed for leisure riding. Cruiser e-bikes are generally characterized by swept-back handlebars, wide seats, balloon tires, curved tubes (that distinguish them from other types of e-bikes), and chain guards.

Things to Look for in an Electric Cruiser Bike

1) swept-back handlebars.

Electric Cruiser Bikes – Everything You Need to Know 2

Unlike flat and dropped handlebars that put riders in a kind of leaning position, beach cruiser handlebars curve inwards to meet riders, allowing for users to assume upright riding positions. This position maximizes comfortability and places less stress on your shoulder, back, and wrist muscles.

2) Shock-absorbing Saddles

Cruiser e-bike saddles are fitted with dual spring suspension systems. These help cushion vibrations from bumpy rides (since most beach cruisers aren’t fitted with any other form of suspension).

3) Stylish Frames

Electric Cruiser Bikes – Everything You Need to Know 4

Cruiser e-bikes come in different frame designs. Their tubes are curved in a much more stylish manner making them more aesthetic than diamond and triangle frames.

They are also available in a wide array of colors. Most manufacturers will even allow you select what color — or pattern of colors — you want your cruiser e-bike finished in.

4) Geometry

Photo created by evelo

If you’re a tall, large person, you might want to go for chunkier cruiser e-bikes. The same applies to shorter riders.

This is because cruiser e-bikes are generally shaped awkwardly. They are not your average bike. Riding a smaller — or larger — beach cruiser will be more uncomfortable than riding a BMX bike with wide handlebars.

Types of Cruiser E-bikes

Cruiser e-bikes are one of the most customizable types of electric bikes on the market. Below are some of the most popular designs of electric cruiser bikes.

Classic Cruiser Electric Bike

These are designed to look like older-generation cruiser bicycles. Some e-bike companies even manufacture single-speed variations of this bike; now, nothing says “vintage” more than a single-speed, 27″-wide-handlebars cruiser e-bike.

If you’re hunting for a shot of nostalgia, a classic cruiser e-bike might just help you remember the good ol’ days.

City Cruiser Electric Bike

Photo created by rei

City cruiser e-bikes are designed with the needs of commuters in mind. They weigh slightly less than beach and classic cruisers and are better adapted to city riding.

You might also find that city cruiser e-bikes have less tread on their tires than standard cruisers.

Best All Terrain Electric Bikes

Beach Cruiser Electric Bike

A beach cruiser e-bike’s tires are usually wider than those of regular bikes. They can measure anywhere between 2″ and 5″ wide. These ultra-wide tires help improve the bike’s grip when riding in loose conditions like mud, sand, slippery surfaces, etc.

Their stylish frames and customizable colors make them the preferred option for recreational riders. You can literally order a beach cruiser e-bike in whatever color you want.

Beach Cruiser Folding Electric Bike

Nakto 500W Ox Folding Fat Tire Electric Bike

Beach cruisers are large machines that sometimes have handlebars that span up to 28 inches wide. Now fitting that into the trunk of a car doesn’t seem practical at all.

Thankfully, electric bike engineers have come up with the perfect solution to that problem; collapsible frames. Foldable beach cruiser e-bikes might not have the most customizable frames, however, what they lack in customization, they make up for in portability.

Some foldable cruiser e-bikes can be beat down into half their fully-extended size . This makes storing and carrying them easier.

What Is The Best Hybrid Electric Bike?

Fat Tire Beach Cruiser Electric Bike

You can instantly tell a fat-tire beach cruiser electric bike from any other type of cruiser. They have huge tires .

Although wide tires are one of the standard features of beach cruisers, fat-tire variants are usually fitted with 4 to 5 inch-wide tires. They sometimes look like standard beach cruisers on steroids.

Men’s Electric Cruiser Bike

American Electric 750W Steller Electric Bike

Men’s electric cruiser bikes are pretty much identical to standard cruisers. They are step-over e-bikes with wide, upright handlebars.

Most electric cruiser bikes in this category are designed to fit taller riders and have a maximum rider fit of 7 feet. Riders can also order these bikes in whatever color they like, however, the majority of men’s electric cruiser bikes you’ll find on the internet are either black or in shades of black.

Women’s Electric Cruiser Bike

Women’s electric cruiser bikes are usually more stylish than men’s. Another distinguishable feature between the two is frame geometry.

Most women’s cruisers come in step-through frames. This makes mounting and dismounting the bicycle easier even when you have a skirt on.

Their handlebars are also slimmer and narrower compared to the wide and chunky grips found on cruiser e-bikes for men.

Lightweight Electric Cruiser Bike

Firmstrong Urban Beach Cruiser Electric Bicycle

Lightweight cruiser e-bikes are lighter variations of beach cruisers. They weigh anywhere between 35 and 45 lbs which is 10 to 15 lbs lighter than the average cruiser e-bike.

However, they’re more likely to attract heavy price tags because of the expensive materials their frames are cast from.

Best Electric Cruiser Bike

Electric cruiser bike under 1000.

Electric cruiser bikes typically cost between $2000 and $5000. However, if you’re on a budget and can’t fork out that amount of cash, there are cheaper alternatives that’ll still get you a good bang for your buck.

Check out some of our top picks of electric cruiser bikes under $1000.

Beach Cruiser Electric Bike 1000W

Standard cruiser bikes aren’t exactly built for heavy-duty purposes like traveling up steep gradients or transporting heavy cargo. However, a 1000W electric motor strapped to a beach cruiser will make it overcome almost any resistant force.

Below are a few 1000-Watt cruiser e-bikes perfect for almost all purposes.

Beach Cruiser 500W Electric Bike

These won’t be able to support as much weight as higher-powered cruiser e-bikes or operate at optimal performance when subjected to certain conditions, however, they are more than capable of powering long-distance commutes and light trail rides.

Customer reviews.

New to the e-bike community I was overwhelmed by the choices for our first ebike. I did all I could to make sure I was making an informed choice and read and watched as many reviews as possible. KBO was among the best reviewed and was also being sold by a local bike shop which helped tremendously in our decision. The bikes arrived much faster than I expected and were very easy to assemble after watching the videos. If you follow along step by step the assembly is quick and simple. These bikes impress every time I take a ride and the initial quality is outstanding. Recommend highly to anyone looking for a great riding e-bike!

Hub motor is bit too small, struggles to keep me going up hills. Wife's Breeze has bigger motor, keeps her going better. I'm also 225 pounds so that also plays into it, but wish motor was same as on Breeze. Also never received rear basket for basket set option. Only received front basket so far, has been over 6 weeks since order.

This basket is good for carrying groceries and supplies. Love my KBO bike!

Would like to purchase another bike. Still get the two hundred off 2 bike purchase if different model

They say that wisdom lies in what learned and experienced. What I experienced last year with Oasis was just pure joy to be enjoying the great outdoors, getting plenty of exercise and seeing the sea side. At a time when our lives were challenged to stay inside. I put on 1100 miles from June to November, and learned to once again enjoyed the days as when I was younger. But grateful for the fun and excitement of the ride. Once again, I am outside now and seeing new sites along the way. Thanks again for providing me an opportunity to enjoy the great outside, to stay healthy and feel alive.

Wish is was removable without having to remove screws. Make it a lock on and off. Other then that.Its awesome!

First time rider of an Ebike and chose Ranger and Oasis. Bought 2 / one each for me and my husband . Great product! Customer service was very helpful for a couple of assembly questions. The bike has performed as expected. Carried the bikes from Ohio to California this summer and they have been so much fun to ride. Overall, great product and service.

Putting miles on riding the bike trail nothing but compliments on the retro look nice ride first electric bike easy to get use to a bike load of fun

Electric Bike Guide – How to Pick Your Perfect Bike

What is an Electric Bike?

What can i use an e-bike for, types of electric bikes, pedal assist, throttle only, controllers, e-bike classes and laws, further reading and useful links.

Electric bikes use an electric motor, along with pedals and some of the gearing of a traditional bicycle. This helps riders to travel longer distances and up more hills, than would otherwise be possible with their own energy.

Most e-bikes use a system known as ‘pedal-assist’. This means that rider input is ‘helped along’ by the motor. Electric bikes are great for anyone looking to travel further than they could on an unpowered bike. This makes ‘e-bikes’ suitable for senior cyclists and riders with compromised ability.

Some e-bikes offer throttle-only power, which means that riders can accelerate without pedaling at all. In most nations, it’s a requirement that electric bikes are partially human-powered.

The uses for an e-bike are as varied as the uses for regular bicycles.

There are probably more electric bikes designed for commuting than for any other purpose. The benefits are multiple.

You can use an e-bike to replace a vehicle commute. By doing so, you can avoid the costs of fuel, car maintenance, registration, tolls and parking. You’ll also reduce your carbon footprint and any emissions you would otherwise contribute by driving.

It can replace your public transport commute. You won’t have to pay for bus or train tickets and you can avoid standing in crowds and queues. By switching to e-biking, you’ll never have to waste time waiting around at bus stops and train stations.

Your electric bike lets you commute much longer distances than you could by pedal-power alone. Not only this, but you can arrive at your destination without being exhausted or drenched in sweat.

Car Replacement

Some folk decide to go-the-distance by using an e-bike to replace their car, outright. For this, you’ll need a hefty steed that can haul your groceries and / or up to two children.

For some riders, it’s all about ‘ripping it up’ off-road. There are dedicated, high-powered e-MTBs (electric mountain bikes) made just for this purpose. They’ll help you make those exhausting climbs that precede an awesome descent.

E-Gravel is the most recent off-road e-biking genre. E-Gravel bikes give riders the option to hit higher speeds and longer distances on flatter dirt roads.

Weekend Rides, Family Rides and Jaunts

Many casual cyclists are seeking an extra boost on a weekend ride or family outing.

E-bikes have the potential to even-out the fitness level between energetic youngsters and easy-going grandparents.

They also offer a less exhausting way to run errands or make shop-runs.

Deliveries and Cargo

Professionally, an e-bike can be an important part of a job or small business.

If this is you, you’ll be looking for a bike that’s powerful, durable, and sturdy enough to haul your required cargo.

Large battery capacities feature on delivery and cargo bikes, in order to handle big loads and long days.

Rehab and Limited Ability

For whatever reason, you may have limited ability to cycle. This could be due to age, injury or a physical disability. E-bikes can be a great way to supplement or rebuild strength.

Depending on your intended use, you’ll have different requirements concerning motor wattage, battery capacity, torque, build and configuration.

Consider these factors while reviewing the following information and when choosing a new e-bike.

Electric bikes are available in almost every style that regular bikes are available in. Whether you’re looking for something to get you to work, or you want a hardcore full-suspension rig to help you get to the top of that gnarly mountain trail , there’s an e-bike available to meet your needs.

Commuters and Urban / City Bikes

At this time, the most popular types of e-bike are commuter and urban bikes. Many riders are looking for an e-bike that can get them to work over long distances or without working up a sweat.

For an electric commuting bike, you’ll want all the features that you would seek in a pedal-powered commuter , plus a moderately powered motor and battery capacity (unless you are commuting exceptionally long distances).

Tough U-locks and a removable battery are essential if you are locking up your e-bike in a public area.

Folding E-bikes

Folding e-bikes are also popular as commuters. They suit a multi-modal work commute that also involves using a train, bus, car or ferry.

For some riders, they can be used in conjunction with travel, to suit being transported by car or stored in a mobile home or boat. A folder may suit you if you live in an apartment.

A good folding bike is small, light and often used for shorter distances. This means that you can get away with a less powerful motor and a battery of moderate capacity. These factors help to lower the overall weight of an electric folding bike.

Mountain – e-MTB

Electric mountain bikes (e-MTBs) are available in both hardtail (front-suspension) and full-suspension varieties. They are ideal for avoiding exhaustion on all-day rides, by hauling riders to the top of downhill runs.

Some mountain bikers just like to ride for longer distances without exhaustion. If you’re a senior rider, less-able or recovering from an injury, these bikes can be ideal for keeping up with friends or family members.

You’ll be looking for a high-torque motor to get you out of difficult situations on less-stable surfaces.

Electric mountain bikes can be thirsty for power.

You may want a high-capacity battery. Alternatively, you can keep a second, fully-charged battery on-hand.

E-MTBs are now permitted in most National Parks. But in certain areas, they are still restricted. Check the relevant laws in your local area.

Fat Tire E-Bikes

Hauling heavy tires through snow, mud or sand can get tiring and limit rides to shorter distances.

The extra boost from a pedal-assist system can allow riders to carry more and ride further. A powerful motor and high capacity battery are important here.

But electric fat bikes are not just a niche choice.

Many first-time e-bike buyers head straight for a bad-ass, do-anything, monster-truck look and floaty ride style.

This can only be provided by a big bike with balloon tires. There are many models to choose from, in all price ranges.

Electric Road Bikes

Electric road bikes allow riders to ride for longer at faster speeds. They assist less-able or older riders to maintain pace with their riding group.

Most electric road cyclists prefer to pedal actively throughout a ride. Accordingly, electric road bikes are configured to rely on active pedal-assist. Throttles are less common.

Most of these bikes are lightweight and are equipped with streamlined motors and batteries that are smaller than those found on other electric bikes.

Because e-Road bikes are so lightweight, the decrease in motor size and battery capacity does not necessarily translate to less power or battery range.

A recent sector of e-biking has appeared with the emergence of e-Gravel bikes. You’ll be looking for all the usual gravel bike bike features available in your price range, plus a few specific to the electric bike world.

Gravel is more of a performance sector. High-speeds, long distances and efficiency are priorities. As such, you might look to light-weight builds with high-capacity batteries.

For every household, e-Cargo bikes offer an exciting alternative to the family car. Some families have even sold their second or only vehicle, after purchasing a versatile cargo e-bike. High quality specimens can be configured to carry two children, in conjunction with a load of groceries.

For anyone employed in the delivery business, electric bikes provide a cheap means of transporting cargo, especially in urban areas. Running costs are low. Also, an electric bike can easily wend its way through heavy traffic and won’t need a parking spot when it reaches its destination.

Electric cargo bikes are usually quite heavy. In conjunction with the big loads that they’re expected to lug, the drain on batteries can be considerable. Look for a high capacity battery or a dual-battery system. You’ll also need a reasonably powerful motor and a system that expresses considerable torque.

For some, a retro-styled e-bike is the way to go. If this is the direction you’re heading, then performance and speed probably aren’t your top priorities. As such, you can get away with less torque and a moderately-powered motor.

Even so, some of these frames are large and heavy. So you’ll need at least enough battery and oomph to reach optimum cruising speeds.

Fill In many countries, pedal assist e-bikes are the only e-bikes that can be ridden without a license or registration.

In the United States, these are categorized as ‘Class 1’ and ‘Class 3’ e-bikes. The motor kicks in when you begin pedaling.

On the best electric bikes, this feeling is intuitive. It should allow you to maintain a desired level of input and fitness, according to the level of assistance that you choose.

Most e-bikes have 3 to 5 levels of pedal assist available. They’ll also give you the option of disabling the motor. With no pedal assist, your e-bike acts like a regular (but heavy) push-bike. Here’s a run-down of an average, three-level pedal assist system.

LEVEL 1 – ‘ECO’

This is the lowest mode and is optimized for maximum range. Some manufacturers will claim up to – and in excess of 60 miles. The level of assist offered here is usually 25% to 80% of the maximum available. It suits level terrain and a decent amount of rider input.

LEVEL 2 – ‘NORMAL’

At this level you’re looking at 100% to 150% assist, in addition to the rider’s pedal input. This level provides more torque on take-off, from a standstill.

LEVEL 3 – ‘HIGH’

At this level, you can expect a maximum of 200% assistance from your motor. It’s great for steep climbs and headwinds. Your range is greatly reduced at this level, and is best reserved for short bursts when in need.

This is fairly self-explanatory. Some e-bikes offer a throttle-only option, activated by a grip-shift lever or button. Using this method, you can activate the motor without pedaling. These bikes come under the legal category of a ‘Class 2’ e-bike.

Many of these bikes also feature multi-level pedal assist options. Keep in mind that working the throttle unassisted will drain the battery fairly quickly.

Before you can make sense of the e-bike options available to you, it’s helpful to get a basic understanding of e-bike terminology.

Sometimes, approaching the world of e-bikes can be daunting. Even if you are a clued-up cyclist and bike aficionado, the additional knowledge needed to make a discerning e-bike purchase can be bewildering. But it needn’t be. You don’t have to be an electrical or electronics engineer, but it’s handy to have a few terms under your belt.

Watt Hours (Wh)

On your e-bike, ‘Watt hours’ is a measure of available energy. This is probably the most important measurement to look for in your e-bike specs. It will be abbreviated as ‘Wh’ and is the most reliable measurement of your bike’s battery capacity.

In gas-guzzling terminology, think of it as the size of your fuel tank. In simple terms, the higher the number of Watt hours, the more range that is available to you. The amount of energy that your battery has available is known as its ‘capacity’.

Watt hours can be calculated if you have access to the voltage and amp hour figures for a bike’s battery. It’s a simple calculation.

24v x 20ah = 480Wh
36v x 10ah = 360Wh
36v x 11ah = 396Wh (≈ ‘400wh’)
48v x 17.5 ah = 840Wh

In terms of what you need to know, regarding your e-bike purchase:

A 250wh battery can deliver:

250 watts for 1 hour
500 watts for 30 minutes
125 watts for 2 hours

How does this translate to your ride? If you are really working the throttle at its limit, your battery will last half the time that it would if you were running the battery at half of its capacity. Simply put, if you lay off the juice and contribute some pedal power, your battery lasts longer.

A bigger battery will take you further, but can add considerable weight.

“But how far?”, I hear you ask. This varies according to a number of factors, including:

Bike weight
Rider weight
Rider input (pedal power)
Wind speed (and direction) – this can dramatically affect energy consumption

One expert puts it like this:

“On a lightweight electric bike, on typical fairly flat roads, not much wind or none at all, while barely pedaling… not working up a sweat, on pumped tires, typical 200lb or less rider, expect burn rates of 17 watt hours per mile on average (= 10Wh per km)… It can be much more or much less depending on countless factors but this is a realistic number to start with.” 10

Therefore, as this same expert goes on to say, “A 36v 10ah battery pack with 360Wh of capacity would… in theory provide 22 miles (36km) of range, from a full 100% charge.”

These calculations are much more straightforward if you pay attention to the kilometer figures in the calculations (and convert them to miles). From this info, you can easily work out what battery would be suitable for you. Is your commute longer or shorter than 22 miles, return? If so, and you were using the battery mentioned above, you wouldn’t have to charge at your destination.

Amp Hours (Ah)

In reference to an e-bike’s battery and on manufacturer’s specifications, Amp hours should always be listed.

For the buyer of a new bike, Amp hours is useful in calculating Watt hours.

This is done by using the aforementioned formula:

VOLTAGE x AMP HOURS = WATT HOURS.

Amp hours will almost always be within the range of 8Ah to 28Ah.

Voltage relates to the entire system on an e-bike. Voltage pushes the flow of energy and generally relates to speed. The higher the voltage, the faster your e-bike can go. A 36V system won’t necessarily use a battery that’s exactly 36V, but it will be close.

Usually, new e-bike systems sit between 24V and 48V. There are also 52V options.

Now that you get the basics, let’s look at the important components that make up an e-bike.

The battery-pack you see on e-bikes looks like a singular unit. It usually takes the appearance of a long, black box.

Within this ‘battery pack’, a number of smaller battery units are connected together in succession (as a pack).

Once you’ve got the basic technical factors sorted, you can understand your battery needs. The experts advise to seek out a battery that offers slightly longer range than what you’ll usually need. This will cover you when you inevitably get lost on a lonely, unlit highway, far from home.

Many first-timers aim for a huge battery, in an effort to cover the longest possible ride. The problem here is that large batteries add considerable weight. This extra weight slows you down and requires more power to overcome, creating a Catch 22 situation. In any event, ‘slightly more than what’s needed’ is a good yardstick.

Some bikes come pre-configured to accept a dual-battery setup. This means that you can keep weight down and use a single battery on less-demanding trips, while having the option to slot in a second battery on epic quests and trips to the lumber yard. A second battery means double the range, but double the weight.

Many bikes come with a lockable battery. You will be provided with a key that allows you to lock your battery pack to your bike’s frame.

Almost all modern battery packs are removable. This allows you to charge the battery wherever a convenient outlet is located.

Just as importantly, it allows you to remove the pack to prevent theft. But if you’re just spending two minutes to dash into the bodega for a loaf of bread, it could be more convenient to lock the pack and leave it where it is.

We’ve discussed how technical factors relate to range, but what should you expect when you’re shopping around? If you are consulting a seller about your needs, they should be able to give you advice based on a few factors. It’s a good idea to either consult an expert who can give you trusted advice or use the information available to assess the specifications listed for new e-bikes.

The reason for this, is that some vendors and manufacturers may overstate range expectations.

Using either of these methods, an expert or yourself should assess your needs based on your genre and style of riding (commuting, mountain bike, gravel, cargo etc), the amount of pedaling you’ll contribute vs. the amount of pedal-assist that you’ll require and your own weight .

The average range of an e-bike, using moderate levels of assist, is around 20 to 35 miles. Do you need more than this in a day? For most riders’ commuting needs, this is ample.

For bigger cargo needs, you may need more power and a bigger battery. Previously, we mentioned how range is affected by a number of factors including; wind, elevation, pedal effort and the combined weight of you and your cargo.

Your range is also influenced by how you use the motor. A lot of stop-starting and throttling will tear through juice in a rapid fashion.

The resistance of muddy, slippery or snowy surfaces will require more effort from your battery to overcome.

One of the factors that is mostly outside of the rider’s control, is the outside temperature. Both extremes of weather can lead to deficits in battery capacity. First in the short-term, then eventually degrading the capacity on a long-term basis.

Battery Life

Most batteries are expected to last for 300 to 1000 charge ‘cycles’ or for around 3 to 5 years. After this period, your battery will not last as long as it did when box-fresh. It’s natural for battery life to reduce over time.

Most major brands give their batteries a 2-year warranty.

Experts advise e-bikers to seek a battery that has a two year warranty, at minimum. Other factors that affect battery life include:

Maintenance
Use with heavy cargo loads
Exposure to extremes of temperature
Frequency of charging (a battery should be charged at least every three months)

It’s a good idea to make every effort to prolong your battery’s life, as they can cost from a few hundred to as much as $1500 to replace.

Manufacturers will often state how long it takes to fully charge the battery on an e-bike model. This information can be invaluable. If you’re someone who has a long commute, you might need to charge-up for a few hours at your destination. Or, you might not have this opportunity.

Charging times vary according to the capacity of your battery and the amperage of your charger. 2-amp and 3-amp chargers are common stock options that are often sold with new e-bikes.

If your e-bike comes with a 4-amp charger, you’re in luck. This is considered to be a ‘fast charger’.

It’s possible to charge a battery at either a fast or slow rate, though persistent ultra-fast-charging would lessen the life of your battery.

Here are some rough averages of how long it takes to fully charge an e-bike battery, using the charger provided by the manufacturer.

Average time to full charge: 3.5 to 6.0 hours
Average time to half charge: 1.5 to 2.1 hours
Average time to 80% charge: 2.0 to 2.5 hours

According to recent figures, the average price of electricity in the United States is 13.72 cents per kilowatt hour. There are 1000 watt hours in one kilowatt hour, so a 250Wh battery will cost less than four cents to fully charge.

This device is the brain of your e-bike. It’s connected to your bike’s battery, motor and (if present), your throttle. It controls the movement of power from the battery to the motor, by pulsing on and off very quickly. This function is known as ‘Pulse Width Modulation’ (PWM).

It prevents excess stress and overheating of your battery, as well as ensuring that your motor doesn’t overheat. What this means, is that you can’t instantly slam the throttle from a dead stop to full bore.

The controller sets a limit of how many Amps are allowed to flow to the motor. This is known as the controller’s maximum amp rating . As we’ll soon see, this radically affects how much power is available to you.

Many sellers will advertise their e-bike models according to the motor’s wattage. Mostly, you’ll see 250, 350, 500 and 750-watt e-bikes. At first, this may come across as a straightforward way to determine the power of your desired e-bike. However, wattage means very little on its own. It’s important to take into account your battery’s voltage and the maximum current (in amps), that your e-bike’s controller can handle.

An e-bike with a 36 volt battery and a 15A controller is capable of putting out 540 watts at peak power. 36 x 15 = 540. This is the case, even if it’s advertised as having a ‘250 watt’ motor. So you might be getting more power than you originally expected.

The intricacies of e-bike power ratings can become very detailed. You can find resources online to satisfy your deepest level of curiosity. For now, let’s go into the other characteristics of e-bike motors.

There are two main types of e-bike motor, each being positioned differently on your new e-bike. They both have benefits and drawbacks.

Hub motors are situated within the hub of an e-bike’s rear or front wheel. On new e-bikes, rear hub-driven motors are common. They are the most affordable option available. Front-driven hub motors are becoming less popular and are usually found on electric conversions of standard bicycles.

Hub motors can be either Geared or Direct Drive .

Geared hub motors use internal nylon gears to reduce the motor’s output to optimal speed and efficiency. This makes them more complicated but lighter than direct drive systems.

They offer more torque and are a bit noisier than direct drive systems, which are simpler, more reliable and more powerful. But they’re heavier and larger than geared options, resulting in more demand on your battery.

Hub motors are usually the cheaper option
As a reliable, self-contained system, it requires minimal maintenance
If your chain breaks, you can ride home solely on the power of the electric hub
If your hub motor fails, you can pedal home using your bike’s drivetrain
Hub motors put less stress on the bike’s other gearing components

Things to Consider

Hub-driven systems can overheat on long, steep climbs
They’re heavier than mid-drive options
Tire changes can be complicated, involving disconnecting motor wires
Direct-drive motors don’t have any internal gears
Geared hub motors have a single gear ratio
Having a heavy hub motor on the rear or front wheel can imbalance an e-bike
Spokes are more likely to break, due to the weight of the hub in the wheel
The width of a hub motor may limit cassette gears to seven speeds
Tire widths are limited by the rim that’s attached to the hub motor
Hub motor cadence sensors may result in lurchy or awkward motor timing

Rear wheel hub motors may place too much weight at the rear of your e-bike.

Front hub driven systems have decreased in popularity. With minimal weight on the front-end of most e-bikes, riders can easily spin-out under torque, on wet and slippery surfaces. This has led to a number of wipe-outs.

Mid-Drive Motors

Mid-drive motors are situated between the cranks of your e-bike. These motors require a specific kind of frame, that accommodates a motor in place of a regular bike’s bottom bracket. What’s the skinny?

A central location leads to even weight distribution on your e-bike
They are typically lighter and smaller than a hub motor of comparable power
Direct pedaling input leads to more range, especially across climbs
Tire changes are unaffected by mid-drive motors
A torque sensor accurately meters out assistance according to pedal power
Riders generally report a smoother ride quality
Tackles steeper hills for longer than a hub motor of similar power
More open to different set-ups that use standardized bike components
They are the more expensive option
These motors depend on more rider input, through pedal-power
Mid-drives wear harder on chains and cassettes
They are more complex and require more maintenance than hub motors
Most brands don’t offer repair options outside of warranties

Choosing a Motor

Hub-Driven Motors offer maximum assistance for less pedal effort. This suits senior riders or those with a disability, as well as anyone seeking physical rehabilitation for an injury.

But they’re also great for anyone who’s a less-experienced or less-frequent cyclist. If you’re a new rider or returning to cycling, a hub-driven e-bike may be for you.

Mid-Drive Motors suit riders who want a boost, but who still want to stay fit. They are the preferred option for experienced cyclists. Riders who know how to change gears will be able to attain an efficient ride and extend the life of a mid-drive e-bike.

To simplify, torque describes the amount of power available to you at lower revolutions (RPMs). In straightforward on-road terms, the benefits are two-fold. A motor with higher torque will give you more power from a dead stop. It will also help you climb hills at a faster speed, for a longer period of time.

Torque is measured in ‘Newton Meters’ and you’ll see it listed in e-bike specs, using the abbreviation ‘Nm’. Lighter bikes require less torque, so 40 to 50Nm should be plenty, while e-mountain and cargo bikes need more torque to overcome heavier loads and troublesome terrain. Expect figures up to and beyond 75Nm.

Direct-drive hub motors have less torque than geared hub motors.

Geared hub motors are the choice for more torque, from a hub-driven option.

Mid-drive motors in low gear, can climb steeper hills for longer than a similarly powered hub motor.

There’s nothing unique about e-bike brakes. But with consistently high speeds and extra weight (compared to a regular push-bike), you’ll be seeking ample stopping power.

Almost all e-bikes use disc brakes . Mechanical disc brakes are reliable and easily adjusted. Hydraulic brakes are more powerful but may require professional adjustment and repair.

Some cheaper e-bikes come fit with rim brakes, usually as v-brakes. You may also find drum brakes on a rear wheel, sometimes used in combination with a front wheel rim brake. Be wary of the increased stopping distance and foresight that these brakes will require.

Electric bikes are heavier than their pedal-powered counterparts. That’s just a fact. Maybe one day, this won’t be true. But for now, it’s unavoidable. A motor, battery and cabling all add up to decent heft.

Eventually, most e-bikers run into the unexpected situation where they run out of battery. It’s important to consider how heavy an e-bike is to pedal unpowered. Some e-bikes are relatively easy to propel on flat ground, without juice. Others can be a real slog.

There is another situation where the weight of your bike can have heavy implications.

If you live in an apartment or walk-up, carrying some e-bikes can be almost impossible. Others aren’t too much of a problem.

Here’s a rough idea of e-bike weight ranges:

Commuter, City and Hybrid Bikes commonly sit somewhere between 33lbs and 55lbs, but can get as heavy as 100lb. ‘Moped-style’ e-bikes can reach 120lb.

Full-Suspension e-Mountain-Bikes: Lighter, more expensive models can be as svelte as 37lbs, which aids maneuverability on technical trails and jumps. Full-suspension fat bikes can weigh up to 100lb. Retro-style e-Bikes may have large, sweeping frames. They suit a casual riding style that isn’t radically affected by extra bulk. They often weigh between 55lbs and 65lbs.

E-Road Bikes are the lightest of all, with an overall weight as low as 19lb. Most sit somewhere between 28lbs and 31lbs. These trim figures are reflected in the high prices of these bikes.

E-Cargo Bikes present the heaviest options, weighing in above 70lbs. But these rigs may be capable of carrying as much as 440lbs in extra baggage.

As it is with most other kinds of bicycles, there are options available at all price-points. Here is a rough idea of what to expect for your dollar.

$500 to $700

At this price, expect e-bikes with a hub-driven motor in a configuration that may be similar to an e-bike conversion. You can source bikes at this price from big-box retailers. Componentry and gearing will be similar to the level of a low-cost big-box bike. Some folding e-bikes come in at this price range.

Most e-bikes in this range are urban commuters or present as ‘mountain bike-style’. Some will have mechanical disc brakes. Others are set up with rim brakes (v-brakes) or even drum brakes. Heavier aluminum and steel frames can be expected.

On low cost bikes, front suspension is not unheard of. At this price, it can offer limited benefits and durability. It’s possible that cheap suspension will only add complexity and weight, without real benefits. 36V systems are affordable in this price range.

The price savings you receive from online retailers are due to the fact that many of these manufacturers don’t have to pay for a ‘middleman’ or storefront. Your e-bike will be partially assembled for packaging and transport. Keep in mind that any warranty that’s offered may be contingent on having your e-bike professionally assembled by your local bike mechanic.

After-market servicing and parts may or may not be locally available.

$700 to $1400

Motors at this price range are mostly hub-driven. Frames are usually mid-range aluminum.

Componentry may be similar to that found on a $250 to $500 pedal-powered bike. Most e-bikes in this range are commuters and city bikes.

$1400 to $2500

In this arena, quality shoots up a notch. Known brand-name mid-drive systems enter the fray, including Bosch and Shimano. Frames may be of a lighter, higher-quality aluminum construction.

Handy extras include racks, mudguards and lights that are integrated into the bike’s electrical system. Many of these bikes are still urban / city / commuter types but some lower-end and flat-bar road bikes also become available.

A few mid-range, hardtail e-MTBs can also be found. Hydraulic brakes are now common.

$2500 to $3500

In this range, your dollar gets you a more powerful mid-drive motor and a higher-capacity battery.

Hydraulic brakes should be standard. Integrated lights and accessories can be expected, while name-brand components are a given.

At the least, frames should be high-quality aluminum.

$3500 to $10000 and Beyond…

In this corner, we have full-suspension electric mountain bikes, high-end commuters, performance e-Gravel, drop-bar e-Road bikes and reliable cargo machines.

Components are lightweight, high quality and durable. Racing rigs are fast and light, with concealed batteries and inconspicuous motors. Many are made from carbon fiber.

Motors will be powerful and batteries are high capacity. Some options come ready-built to incorporate a second battery in a dual setup.

Accessories

It pays to consider the inclusion of extras and integrated accessories as part of the cost of your new e-bike.

Some e-bikes come fit with front and rear lights. The best systems are connected to your e-bike’s battery and can be operated from a switch on the handlebar.

Other e-bikes are equipped with fenders and racks. A chainguard may be integrated into the design of your e-bike. It’s a sure way to keep your clothes grease-free on commutes.

These accessories can cut costs and make things easier, because your bike is ready-to-go from new.

In the United States, electric bike laws vary massively from state to state.

It’s best to check your local laws before purchasing an electric bike.

This is especially true when you are ordering a bike online, as it may be tuned to match the laws of another state or country.

E-bikes are not illegal and you needn’t fear that you’re flouting the law by buying and owning one. Local governments and authorities are also users of electric bikes.

In many areas, electric bikes are classed into three categories. This affects where you can ride your chosen e-bike and how fast you can ride it. All classes are limited to a motor size of 750 Watts.

Class 1 – Pedal Assist Bikes

On these bikes, the electric drive of the bike must be activated through pedaling.

Sensors measure pedal movement, pedal torque and / or bicycle speed.

In most parts of the United States, these bikes are limited to a top speed of 20 mph.

Because of their limited power, they are permitted to be used in the same areas as regular ‘push-bikes’; streets, bike lanes, bike paths and off-road trails.

Class 2 – Throttle Activated

These bikes are able to be activated by a throttle, without any pedal assistance.

Many of these bikes also have a pedal-assist function.

Like class one bikes, they are limited to a top speed of 20mph and are permitted to be ridden in the same areas as regular push-bikes.

Class 2 bikes are less common outside of the U.S. and China, where they are more highly regulated.

Class 3 – Speed Pedelec

These bikes are pedal-assisted, with a top-speed limit of 28mph. This speed must be achieved with pedal assistance.

Class 3 e-bikes are permitted on roads and on-road bike lanes but are not allowed to be used on bike trails and multi-use paths.

Even though the higher speed of a Class 3 bike may seem attractive, keep in mind that this may limit your access options to paths and trails.

Class 3 e-bikes are suitable if you enjoy on-road cycling and use your e-bike purely for commuting.

Feel the Spark!

In the last decade, cyclists have realized that e-bikes are a great way to ride for longer distances and at higher speeds.

Electric bikes allow many cyclists to make that long-distance commute to work, while leaving their car in the garage.

In times past, e-bikes were sometimes seen as exclusive to a less-able or less-motivated rider base.

Some competitive cyclists looked down on them. This is no longer the case. They even have their own dedicated professional racing events.

In recent years, e-bikes have revealed themselves as one of the fastest-growing transport solutions in built-up metropolitan areas, worldwide.

Whatever your reason for choosing to go electric; shop around, choose wisely and ride on!

Looking to fine tune your ride and personalize your riding experience? Take advantage of the Enviolo App to adjust the settings before or during your ride.

You will need your Smartphone (iOS or Android) for initial setup and firmware updates. The Enviolo App is not needed for daily riding unless you wish to make cadence setting adjustments while you ride, or between rides.

Ultra Low Step Through Frame

With a low step-through height you never need to swing your leg over to start your ride or get your feet on the ground. Getting on and off the bike is easy.

We keep the battery on the rear rack to make access as easy as possible. The Galaxy Lux features the lowest step through height of any EVELO model.

Upgraded 48V 11.6AH Battery

The Galaxy Lux includes an upgraded 48V 11.6AH rear rack battery, offering increased top speed and more torque, while still maintaining our easy to access step through frame design.

Rear rack batteries offer some advantages for many riders. Placing the battery in a rear rack over the rear wheel allows our engineers to design the lowest step through frame possible, making it as easy as possible to get on and off of certain models.

This battery configuration is also the go to for battery add-ons, allowing for use of both the in frame battery, and the rear rack battery, effectively doubling the range on applicable models.

Mid Drive Motor & Gates Belt Drive

As a rider, you have full control over motor assistance while you ride, for as much or as little additional power as you need, when you need it.

The Gates CDX Belt Drive is smooth, clean, and requires no maintenance.

Torque Sensing motors offer the most natural riding experience possible. The motor senses rider input while pedaling, and calculates the perfect amount of assistance to help you along: whether you’re conquering a steep hill, or riding comfortably on flat ground.

A belt drive means no more risk of a greasy mess on your pant leg from a chain. The belt and gears require no lubrication whatsoever, and no maintenance - which means you can just focus on your ride. The belt drive system weighs in at about half the weight of a traditional chain. With the Gates Carbon Drive™, you will enjoy a quiet and ultra-smooth riding experience everywhere you go.

Handlebar Throttle, Fenders, & Lights

The Galaxy Lux comes with a throttle on the handlebar, giving you power-on-demand anytime you need it. We also include full length fenders and integrated lighting right out of the box.

Our thumb throttle makes it easy to just push your finger to give you the extra power you need to motor up the hill, or accelerate from a stop.

It's gives you peace of mind that you can use the throttle to get home if you're ever too tired.

The Galaxy Lux also comes with full fenders making them perfect for blocking the mud, water, and grime that you encounter while out riding.

The best part is the fenders are already installed. You don't need to buy them separately or even have to install them yourself.

Customer Reviews

I was vascillating between the Omega and the Galaxy Lux and wound up with the Lux. As the review states, it is just right. Plenty of power for the hills but not overpowering. Just the right size for me at 5'7" and easy to manuever. The automatic transmission and the optional cadence shifter makes it a breeze to just right and enjoy the experience. The purchasing experience was great as well. I bought it and then as when the price went down, they compensated me for this. Where else can you find this?. Wonderful experience and when my wife is ready to get her own, will definitely come back to Evelo.

I have 400 miles on bike so far and enjoy shifter

I purchased an Aurora Premium a number of years ago and decided to purchase the Galaxy Lux for my wife and we're glad we did. It's easy to use and easy for her to operate. The Automatic shifting is great!

I ordered a bike from them, it came in about 10 days. The bike seems very well built but it was to hard for my wife to get on it so it had to be sent back. Here's where the company really shines, they answered my emails very quickly got me all the info needed to send it back without any hassles. You don't get this type of service much anymore.

After looking at many eBikes at many different dealers, we finally found a link to Evelo. We spoke with a Mr Eric Webster who explain all the details and what we should expect. Eric was "right on" with his guidance and instructions. He educated far far further than any of all the other dealers we visited. While these eBikes cost a little more than those we considered at the dealers, WOW, they are so much more than one finds at your local dealers. With the belt drive (vs chain) and the continiously variable automatic transmission, it is smooth, quiet and a pleasure to ride as the pedal rotation remain comfortable at a near constant 60 pedal rounds each minute.

Upon arrival, the Galaxy was shipped with a bent front fork. I called and within 2 days, a new one arrived with instruction on installation. Man, when in stock, the Evelo team moves quickly to solve problems.

If you have any questions, ask for Eric. He's a great explainer and technician quide.

Finally, I was hesitant to buy online. However, with Evelo, there is no worry. During the wait, they constantly kept us informed as to the status.

You'll be glad if you select Evelo as your eBike company.

Blix classic beach cruiser Sol e-bike now $400 off with $130 in freebies + extra $200 if you buy two

If you happened to miss out on the short-lived Labor Day offers, Blix is once again offering a solid deal on its Sol Eclipse Cruiser e-bike . Regularly $1,899, you can now land one down at $1,499 shipped . That’s $400 off the going rate and, on top of that, you’ll land a FREE Solo Fender set worth $59 and a $59 Sol Rear Rack FREE of charge. That’s a total of $518 in savings here. And to sweeten the deal even more, Blix is offering an additional $200 off when buying any 2 bikes – simply add both to your cart and apply code RIDETOGETHER to redeem the deal.

The Blix Sol Eclipse Cruiser e-bike stands out from many of the more rugged and hardcover models out there. It trades in the tough off-road vibes for the far more relaxed beach cruiser aesthetic, something that looks right at home on a Sunday afternoon stroll through the neighborhood, an evening ride on the boardwalk, and casual rides into town. I really like the overall look and feel here.

It sports a 750W rear hub motor powered by way of the 614Wh capacity battery that combine together to have you whipping around at up to 20MPH for as many as 45 miles at a time.

Segway Ninebot S2 Self-Balancing Electric Scooter hits $500 Amazon all-time low (Up to $100 off)

Amazon is now offering the Segway Ninebot S2 Smart Self-Balancing Electric Scooter down at $499.95 shipped . This model carries a regular price at $600 directly from Segway these days, but landed on Amazon back in January of this year at $550 where it has, for the most part, remained. We did see it jump to $600 there for brief time this summer, but you’re either way looking at a new Amazon all-time low, the very first solid price drop we have tracked there, and the lowest since the pre-order promotion.

While we feature a ton of electric scooters and e-bike deals around here, it’s not often we spot a solid and, in this case, relatively rare deal on the upright self-balancing models. Whether you’re scooting around the house, driveway, or through the park, if you’ve been looking to pick up a relatively new model like this, today’s deal has arrived .

Go off grid for the day with Jackery’s Explorer 240 v2 and 40W mini solar panel at $249 (Save $100)

If you’re facinated by the idea of going off grid, we’ve got a deal that will let you take that notion for a spin. The official Jackery storefront at Amazon is now offering its Jackery Explorer 240 v2 Power Station with 40W Mini Solar Panel for $249 shipped . It usually goes for $349, and that’s precisely how much the official Jackery website is officially selling it for right now. Today’s deal matches the lowest price we’ve tracked, making this an ideal time to cash in and dip your toe in what some time off grid could be like. Learn more about this bundle down below.

Outfitted with a LiFePO4 battery, this Jackery power station features a 256Wh capacity that’s ready to withstand 3,000 charge cycles. When near an outlet, the entire battery can be refueled in as little as one hour. If you decide to rely on the 40W solar panel, you’ll need roughly six hours or so of sunlight to be good to go. When it comes to outlets, this unit features AC, 100W + 15W USB-C, 15W USB-A, and a DC car port. That’s a pretty versatile selection that should keep you up and running when away from home.

Segway’s 25-mile Ninebot F35 Electric Scooter hits best price of the year at $425 (Reg. $680+)

As part of its new 48-hour flash sale , Best Buy is now offering the Segway Ninebot F35 Electric Scooter down at $424.99 shipped . Regularly $700 at Best Buy and $680 directly from Segway , this is up to $275 off and at least $255 in savings.

Connect the F35 with the Segway-Ninebot app via Bluetooth to monitor your riding status and data, lock your scooter and upgrade the firmware and enhance the overall riding experience.

Score $255 in FREE gear with Lectric’s impressive 2024 long-range ONE e-bike

Sitting alongside its still live Labor Day offers which include hundreds in free add-on gear, we are pulling out the offer on the impressive 2024 Lectric ONE e-bike today . The brand is offering it for $2,199 shipped with $255 in FREE add-on gear to deliver one of the best offers we have tracked outside of the launch deal months ago, coming within $14 in terms of value of the back to school offer. You’re looking at a total value of $2,454 here with extras we will detail below.

To put it lightly, we came away very impressed after taking a good look at launch back in March on this model. Despite the sticker north of $2,000, this is a more than value-packed price for an e-bike this premium.

This long-range e-bike takes things up a notch with high-grade European transmissions and carbon fiber-reinforced drive belts, including an auto-shifting weather-sealed electricgearbox from Pinion.

It runs on a 750W rear hub-motor with a 48V battery that will have you cruising for 50 miles at up to 28MPH, and that’s just with the standard battery. There’s 5 levels of PWR pedal assistance, a thumb throttle, 20-inch city tires, hydraulic mineral oil disc brakes, and a new color LCD display.

Today’s package bundle deal nets you $ 255 worth of add-ons including an aluminum rear rack, a set of wheel fenders, and a 1.5-liter Top Tube Bag to stow smaller EDC items with a dedicated smartphone compartment.

MOD Black 3, the baddest-looking mountain e-bike now $500 off with FREE $599 SUP ($1,099 in savings)

We feature a ton of amazing e-bike and EV deals around here, but one of my favorite, at least in terms of looks, is seeing a major price drop with some bonus goodies right now. You can now land the MOD Black 3 down at $2,999 shipped and score a FREE $599 MOD Board Inflatable SUP . Simply add both to your cart to redeem the discount. With recent price hikes this bike now carries a regular price tag at $3,499, which means you’re saving $500 and scoring a free $599 SUP for a total of $1,099 in savings…nice.

Aside from delivering one of the baddest-looking mountain e-bikes on the market, in my opinion, there’s some notable specs to power you through your adventures here too. It comes with a 750W rear brushless geared hub motor (1,000W peak) alongside a 720Wh MOD Samsung Powerpack battery – this allows you to cruise for up to 50 miles at max speeds of 28 MPH. Other highlights of the build here include the five levels of pedal assistance, 7-speed Shimano drivetrain, thumb throttle, and hydraulic disc brakes alongside the rear cargo rack.

Clip electric bike attachment: Turn your cruiser into an e-bike

S ometimes it feels like good ideas are oddly hard to come by. Good executions of a good idea are even harder still. There's no doubt that the Clip electric motor attachment for bicycles is a good idea. It's straightforward to attach — assuming, of course, that the bike it's attached to is compatible and doesn't have a front suspension fork — simple to use and nicely portable. In execution, however, there are some issues. In the end, there's a fairly narrow set of riders the Clip will benefit.

First, what the heck is a Clip ? The company says it "is the first instant e-bike upgrade that you can take with you." Put simply, it's a battery-powered electric motor that attaches to a bicycle's front fork assembly, similar in principle to the old Solex mopeds . A small wheel is positioned so that it comes into contact with the bike's front tire, providing a friction drive coupling to add electric power to a regular bicycle. And the good news is that it works.

After assembling a bike provided for review by Priority Bicycles — a single-speed cruiser with a wonderful belt drive — we found no issues at all attaching the Clip unit to the front fork. The combined battery and motor unit weighs less than 10 pounds and is easy to carry. Attaching it to a bicycle requires two hands and a bit of fiddling to ensure that the drive wheel comes into proper contact with the front tire but only takes a few seconds. The forks do get a little floppy due to the weight, but once moving that feeling goes away. There's no sense that the Clip unit will detach from the bike accidentally, even over rough road surfaces. A small remote control is affixed to the main Clip unit to recharge and uses a flap of rubber to attach to the bike's handlebar. There's a big red button to active the motor and a smaller button that induces regenerative braking .

So far, so good. On level surfaces, we found that the Clip provides a reasonable amount of motive assistance that makes pedaling much easier. A boost function is activated by holding the big red button down, and it's powerful enough that the bike will gain speed even if the rider isn't pedaling... as long as there's no incline (more on that below). We tested the Clip in a small urban area near us and found that it worked pretty well. Assistance is immediate upon pedaling, and the amount of power the unit provides makes perfect sense in an area packed with parked cars and people walking dogs and pushing strollers. Range is listed at up to 6 miles with the base Clip Commuter or up to 12 miles with the upgraded Clip Explorer . With a bit of human-powered pedaling assist, we figure those range estimates are probably accurate, again assuming there's no incline to deal with.

We also tested the Clip in a residential neighborhood that has some easy but longish climbs of a few hundred feet, and that's where we had issues. Our single-speed test bike didn't have any gearing to make pedaling uphill easier, so we used the Boost function to gain a bit of speed before the incline. It worked, which the rider can see happening via a set of LED lights on the unit, for about 30 seconds before we felt the electric assist drop off. And when it drops, it seemingly drops entirely. After pulling over, removing the Clip unit and reinstalling it, we repeated the test with the same result. A dive into the FAQs — thoughtfully accessed via a QR code directly on the Clip unit — revealed that the Clip is fitted with safety systems to keep from burning out or overheating the motor or battery pack, which is a good idea. Sadly, there just isn't enough juice to adequately climb even the moderate hills on our test route.

We'd recommend choosing a bicycle with gearing options; even a simple three-speed system would make it much easier to push a heavyish cruiser bike uphill, particularly with the added weight of the Clip unit. It's also possible that tire selection would have an impact on how much assistance the Clip could offer, but we only had one test machine. Your mileage may vary, as they say. And we mean that quite literally in this case.

The Clip is an excellent idea, and one with several clever choices and useful design details. For buyers looking for just a little bit of help in relatively flat urban areas, this clip-on e-bike unit makes a lot of sense. Riders who need more than the modicum of electric assist offered by the Clip may instead want to look at a dedicated e-bike.
