The 11 Best E-Bikes TETON Tested in Jackson Hole
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 E-Bikes
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
