The 10 Best Electric Bikes of 2025: Tested & Reviewed

Ready to find your perfect e-bike for 2025? We tested the top contenders—from powerful fat-tire and cargo models to commuter and folding options—to find the bikes with the best performance and value. These are the winners worth your investment.

Best Electric Bikes

RadExpand 5 Plus

Is there anything the RadExpand 5 Plus can’t do? This maximalist electric bike is designed to cruise, haul, carry, and commute— and it can fold, too.  Thorough test rides confirmed that this latest generation was a solid improvement on previous models, including more durable components and a sleek design.

The most important updates were the new hydraulic disc brakes, front suspension, and a torque sensor for smoother power delivery. However, the model still has outdated SiS shifters, and tall riders may feel cramped on such a compact e-Bike. If you need a powerful e-Bike to do it all, Rad Power Bikes deliver big on this fully-loaded folding fat tire e-Bike— that’s a mouthful, and that’s the point.

Radster Trail

The Radster Trail from Rad Power Bikes carves its own path, improving on a popular design in the crowded all-terrain electric bike market. The likes of Aventon and Rad Power Bikes are big names when it comes to fat tire e-Bikes, but both brands have recently upped the ante with some MTB-inspired models. The Radster Trail swaps out 4” fat tires for slightly narrower mid-fat tanwall tires for more agile handling and versatility.

The Radster Trail embraces a mix of off-road commuter and touring hybrid elements, along with plenty of traction, comfort, and utility. Some riders simply don’t need heavy 4” tires and the Radster delivers just the right amount of tire volume and grip. The model could be improved with slightly longer suspension and beefier disc brake rotors, but this release really impressed me this year.

Flyer Flex Cargo

The Flyer Flex Cargo shows off its cornucopia of add-ons and design details in style. This sleek cargo model splits the difference between a full-size cargo e-Bike and a hybrid bike, letting you choose how big you want to go in terms of payload. The unique rear rack system is ideal for transporting kids or hauling goodies from the local farmers’ market.

• Flyer Flex Cargo Review

The step-thru frame makes it easy to hop on and hop, and the center kickstand keeps the bike stable when parked, even while loaded up with stuff.  It’s a rugged utility e-Bike that’s sleeker than competing models. The only downsides of the Flex Cargo were its slightly high price tag and the lack of peak power in certain situations. I spent a lot of time zooming around the neighborhood on this versatile model, and I feel that’s right where it rides at its best.

Flyer Via

The Flyer Via is a purebred cargo e-Bike, featuring all the bells and whistles to haul whatever needs to get across town. The Via model is a full-sized cargo bike compared to the hybrid-inspired Flyer Flex that I also reviewed this year. Riders can trick out the rear platform with accessories like the Kid & Cargo Carrier Hoop, which accommodates up to two young passengers. Or install a child seat, cargo baskets, or panniers for ultimate hauling superpowers.

The Via is powered by a 500W rear hub motor with Class 2 capabilities, meaning both the pedal-assist and throttle modes top out at 20 mph. The included torque sensor provides smoother acceleration, and I appreciate that the frame comes in various sizes rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. The Via offers a convincing value that might just persuade you to swap car trips for cargo bike rides.

Lectric XPeak

The Lectric brand swept the nation with its compact and affordable electric bikes, but it has since upped the ante with an all-terrain electric bike. The Lectric Xpeak is a full-size fat tire e-Bike that’s more capable on the rough stuff while still being budget-friendly. The 26×4” fat tires and 80mm RST Renegade suspension fork soak up bumps— I confidently hit up singletrack trails and dirt tracks.

The XPeak is powered by a 750W rear hub motor that peaks at 1310W and 85 Nm of torque to bulldoze up steeper climbs.  The top speed clocks in at 28 mph, and the 14Ah removable battery provides an estimated range of up to 55 miles on lower pedal assist levels. The Shimano Tourney 7-speed is nothing to write home about but is to be expected considering the affordable price. The Lectric XPeak offers peak value for adventurous riders looking for a capable all-terrain e-Bike without a sky-high price tag.

Heybike Hero

The carbon-fiber Heybike Hero made a big splash when it was released— this premium all-terrain electric bike was one of my favorites to test this year. Not your typical fat-tire e-Bike, the Hero model is designed around a T800 carbon frame and mid-drive 750W motor. I tested the initial prototype with a 1000W rear hub motor, but the Hero is now also available with a mid-drive option and two color choices.

The striking frame shape and color choice stand out and add to the premium feel of this capable off-roader. There’s a full suspension package so you can take on rougher trails with confidence. Despite the carbon frame, however, the bike still remains relatively heavy at 75 lbs. If you’re chasing something out of the ordinary, the Heybike Hero shows off carbon construction and huge power specs.

Mooncool CG2

The Mooncool CG2 is a bold cargo electric bike built for fun and function. The extended rear cargo platform is actually part of the frame for even sturdier performance, supporting a huge maximum payload of up to 450 pounds. You can haul gear, carry heavy panniers, or transport a couple of friends on the back of this zippy cargo model.

The CG2 has a 750W rear hub motor, allowing it to reach speeds up to 20 mph. Riders can choose between a throttle and five levels of pedal assist to customize their riding experience. The 48V, 20Ah removable battery provides an impressive range of 60 to 75 miles per charge, though the 10-hour total charge time tested my patience. It’s a fun and affordable mash-up of cargo and city e-Bikes that could be just what you’re looking for.

Sorry, no prices available at this time.

Luckeep X2

The Luckeep X2 embraces a modest and approachable design, but its impressive speed specs kept me whipping all around Jackson. This step-thru hybrid has a top speed of 30 mph and a throttle mode for pedal-free cruising. One of the sweetest features of the Luckeep X2 is the vertical display that’s integrated directly into the stem. There’s also a key fob and fully integrated 20Ah battery. For an electric bike that’s currently on sale for $1,399, that’s some seriously sleek tech at a great deal.

Euybike F8

This electric bike’s model name may sound like a jet plane, but don’t judge a book by its cover. The Euybike F8 is an elegant, comfortable, and— dare I say it— cute e-Bike that offers serious value for riders searching for a recreational cruiser. There are retro-inspired details like pastel frame colors, whitewall tires, and white fenders that up the style. The large “Euybike” decal on the externally mounted battery isn’t too attractive but wasn’t a dealbreaker for me.

The F8’s engine is a 750W rear hub motor that can provide assistance up to 28 mph, including a half-twist throttle for pedal-free cruising. The 20Ah battery is a big one, providing between 50 and 80 miles of maximum range. There’s an integrated passenger seat so friends or family can hop right on and enjoy the ride. Priced at just $1,299, you’ll be hard-pressed to find more e-Bike for less.

Rattan Pinus 

With the raunchiest name in the electric bike market, the Rattan Pinus is a foldable all-terrain model that’s ready to ride. The name is unfortunate (and confusing how it got past the marketing team), but its powerful setup is ideal for adventurous riders. The 750W rear hub motor pushes up to 28 mph in either pedal-assist or throttle, and the 80 Nm of maximum torque makes easy work of steeper climbs. 

There’s an optional second battery that could, in theory, extend the range to a whopping 150 miles— but the weight tradeoff ups the bulk to 94 lbs with a second battery. The hydraulic disc brakes are plenty powerful, and there are turn signals for even more functionality. The burly e-Bike is still heavy when folded but can be easily stored or transported in a car trunk if that’s your thing.

Aventon Aventure 2.0

The second iteration of Aventon’s flagship fat tire e-bike, the Aventure 2.0 shows that sequels can indeed be better than their predecessors. Aventon is one of the biggest names in the e-bike industry and consistently delivers sleek design and user-friendly features, so riders can trust that they’re getting a solid deal. We think it’s due to the new torque sensor on this model, but the 2.0 version has more responsive pedal assist for a super smooth and enjoyable ride.

The reliable drive unit of this all-terrain e-bike is made up of a 750W rear hub motor and a 15Ah battery neatly integrated inside the downtube. The 4” fat tires, rear rack, and generous 400 lbs. payload capacity confirm the Aventure 2.0 as an e-bike that loves off-road trails and hauling cargo. Perhaps a bit too much bike for recreational riders or zippy commuters, the latest Aventon Aventure 2.0 is a no-brainer for cyclists who love rugged terrain or tackling the city streets on a highly capable workhorse.

Aventon Soltera.2

The Aventon Soltera is one of the most popular e-bikes out there and for good reason— the lightweight, hybrid e-bike delivers a premium ride for an excellent value. We actually re-tested the original Soltera model several months ago (the Soltera.2 model is now available) and were blown away with its smooth acceleration and power delivery, outperforming many newer or more expensive e-bikes. This staying power of the Soltera comes from Aventon’s commitment to solid aesthetics and a fine-tuned motor that’s properly designed for modest city riding, instead of chasing tons of unnecessary torque or speed records.

The Soltera is significantly lighter than most of the other models on this list, making it an attractive option for first-time e-bike riders who still want to enjoy the nimble handling of an analog bike, but also desire some pedal assistance. The integrated lights along the seat stays are super sleek and the Soltera.2 comes with handy turn signals and a torque sensor! Priced at $999, the Aventon Soltera.2 is one of the hottest deals of the year that’s sure to upgrade your commute and city riding.

Mooncool TK1

As the best electric tricycle we tested this year, the Mooncool TK1 delivers impressive cargo-carrying capabilities. Everything is a bit bigger and burlier on this utilitarian etrike which I think fits the bill perfectly for hauling gear or city errands— after all, this isn’t your typical cruise-around-the-park tricycle. Tricycles are by nature much more stable than two-wheelers, but the TK1’s all-terrain 20 x 3.0” tires offer even more grip and comfort, especially when the trike’s front and rear baskets are loaded up with cargo— the maximum payload is 350 lbs.!

Zooming around town is made easy thanks to the 500W rear motor with 5 levels of pedal assist and a twist throttle. The top speed clocks in at 16 mph which may seem low compared to zippy two-wheelers, but tricycles naturally have to take corners at a slower pace anyway. The TK1 comes chock-full of extra features including the folding frame, short-travel 40mm front suspension, brake light, and illuminated turn signals. Priced at $1,599 that’s more competitive than many electric two-wheelers, the TK1 offers a serious amount of trike and all-around fun. Whether it’s weekly trips to the farmer’s market or recreational rides with a full picnic in tow, the feature-laden Mooncool TK1 convinced us that tricycles are back in style.

Mooncool Discount Code:

• MWN100:  $100 off over $1200
• MWN200：$200 off over $1500

Mokwheel Obsidian

The Mokwheel Obsidian is a full-suspension electric bike equipped with all-terrain fat tires and a sweet camo paint job. Named after the volcanic glass that’s been used as a tool for millennia, this versatile e-bike embraces a similar multi-purpose build. An exciting alternative to Trek or Specialized electric mountain bikes that can cost two or three times more, the Obsidian offers great value that conquers rugged trails, hunting or fishing trips, and rocky terrain.

The 1000W rear hub motor delivers serious speed and hill climbing performance to get you up the steep slopes, enjoying the fast descents. My mountain bike-inspired e-bikes fall flat when it comes to getting over high gradients, but the Obsidian is truly an up-and-down beast. The long 130mm front suspension fork combines with the plush rear shock to smooth out even the roughest of trails. For hunters, fishermen, and outdoor adventurers with a soft spot for the trickiest of terrain, the Mokwheel Obsidian is a sure bet to get you powering through remote trails.

Kingbull Voyager

With a name like “Kingbull”, this burly electric has to be a powerful, sturdy steed, right? The Kingbull Voyager won’t disappoint riders looking for a heavy-duty e-bike designed for carrying cargo and serious city commuting. During our testing, we found that the best cargo to transport was a rear passenger, thanks to the extra-strength rear rack complete with a large wooden platform and rear footpegs. The additional height of the rear rack prevents rear passengers from having to bend their legs too much while riding on the back, though it’s still not an official seat per se.

If you are planning to double-stack during your e-bike adventures, the Voyager makes it easy for a friend to join the journey.  Another unique feature is the e-bike’s included side mirrors, similar to those which you’d typically find on a moped or motorcycle. For riders who are keeping up with cars in the city, this additional bit of safety and visibility can really come in handy. I love the bright orange color and the upright riding position that transforms this multipurpose e-bike into a comfortable workhorse that’s ready for any destination.

Freebeat MorphRover

At Mountain Weekly News, we’ve tested and reviewed a ton of electric bikes so it takes some serious innovation to surprise us— and the freebeat MorphRover did just that. This new model is a fat-tire e-bike that doubles as an indoor cycle trainer, equipped with the ability to recharge the battery throughout your workout. One of the first “2-in1” e-bikes that we’ve come across, freebeat has gotten right on the first try and has delivered an excellent recreational e-bike that can act as your at-home gym!

At first glance, you’d never know that this exercise e-bike works double-duty as an indoor trainer since it boasts the same standard specs as many of the fat tire models on the market: 4.0” tires, 80mm front suspension, and a powerful 750W. This means you’re not missing out on any performance— during testing, this recreational e-bike delivered a fast and zippy ride with speeds up to 28 mph. But, of course, the MorphRover can still transform into an indoor trainer! The freebeat app offers studio classes, recorded coaches, workout games, and a scenic ride mode to make exercising that much more enjoyable, especially on cold or rainy days when outdoor riding isn’t as tempting. If combining your electric bike with your indoor workout routine is something you’re after, the freebeat MorphRover has got you covered.

Velotric Go1

The Velotric Go 1 is a compact cargo model that proves that the biggest e-bike doesn’t necessarily provide the most utility. This innovative, undersized cargo e-bike impressed us with its minimalist design that sneaks in tons of useful features. To me, having a normal-sized bike that will still squeeze alongside your car in the garage or fit into standard bike parking is an underrated advantage these days. This streamlined e-bike is curated for city errands and recreational riding rather than bumpy, off-road terrain— that said, the 20 x 3.0” fat tires offer serious stability and comfort.

The Go 1 model we tested came tricked out with a large front basket and there’s a handy rear rack outfitted with mesh wheel guards on either side. Additional highlights include the center kickstand, 4-piston hydraulic brakes, and responsive 60mm suspension fork. The 500W provides plenty of power to slash your commute time and flatten any upcoming hills. Get ready to inspire some serious e-bike envy when you roll into work or arrive at your next picnic on the compact Velotric Go 1 utility e-bike.

Himiway Urban Electric Commuter Bike A7 Pro

Unlock a whole new commuting experience with the Himiway Urban Electric Commuter Bike A7 Pro. The bike commuter community loves handy accessories, hacks, and integrated details that elevate your daily ride, and this feature-packed e-bike has so much to share that it’s hard to fit it into a bite-sized summary. The biggest highlights that separate the A7 Pro from the pack are its 500W mid-drive motor, integrated ABUS rear-wheel lock, and savvy LCD screen that sits flush with the handlebar stem.

Outfitted with even more tech such as an automatic brake light, hydraulic 180mm disc brakes, and quick-adjusting seatpost, the A7 Pro remains a sleek commuter machine. Himiway has even included rear suspension! This mid-drive motor e-bike costs more than a hub motor model, but the increased torque and natural-feeling pedal assistance are huge advantages to commuters who complete serious weekly mileage. If you’re on the hunt for your dream city e-bike, the Himiway A7 Pro makes the choice incredibly easy.

QuietKat Lynx

Stretching the limits of what can be considered an e-bike, the QuietKat Lynx is a powerful, cafe-racer-inspired model that’s approaching dirt bike territory. If you’re a fan of motorcycles, or their design at least, this e-bike is a winner that flies across the city and can conquer rugged off-road terrain. The KKE double-crown fork provides a monstrous 203mm of front travel along with a long-travel rear shock that is reminiscent of downhill mountain bikes. The 24×4.5” Vee Mission Command tires have a small rim diameter but are even wider than conventional fat tires!

As with any QuietKat e-bike, the Lynx features big horsepower with its 1000W rear hub motor that produces up to 83Nm of torque and nearly 1500W of peak output. The VPO Technology means riders can easily switch between riding modes depending on local restrictions— speed demons will be happy to hear that we reached top speeds beyond 30 mph! Not your typical e-bike, this hefty motorcycle-style model looks better than most of its rivals, potentially fitting the bill as your perfect commuting beast in the city. The Lynx is one of the most expensive models on this list, but it’s packed with significantly bigger and badder components rated for rugged riding almost anywhere.
