We test the latest electric bikes in our lab and out on the road so you can find the best performers that suit your budget.

Our experts look at:

  • ride comfort, braking and pedal assistance
  • handling (including ease of mounting, dismounting, walking the bike, safety and comfort)
  • turning and low speed performance
  • ease of using and accessing the controls
  • battery use (on-bike and off-bike).

Shopping links on the CHOICE website

CHOICE is an independent, nonprofit organisation dedicated to helping consumers. Clicking a link will take you to a retailer’s website to shop. While we make money if you buy through some retailer links, this doesn’t influence any of our rankings. 100% of the money we make goes straight back into our nonprofit mission. We’re currently testing this service and will consider providing more shopping links in the future. Tell us what you think.

Why we chose to test these e-bike models

We look at what was available in retailers that we don’t have to wait for, and also what is popular. We continue to expand on the brands and types of e-bikes tested to reflect what you want to know about, with updates that include a variety of e-bike types, such as cargo and folding models.
