An electric bike can be one of the best options for you to choose, no matter the activity you would like to do or how far you want to ride. Many people of different ages like to get on a beach cruiser bike or an electric bike and travel the world, get some fresh air, and work on their fitness all at the same time.

When it is time to go and purchase a new electric bike, you want to make sure that you pick out one that is going to be amazing for your needs. But which one should you choose? There are so many different options on the market and it can depend on the type of ride you want to do. Some of the best electric bikes for every kind of ride can include:

Ribble Endurance SL E

There are a lot of reasons to like this bike. It is lightweight so you won’t feel like it is too powerful for you when riding around. The natural feeling of power assistance can help lower the learning curve when you try to get used to the bike and it is comfortable and easy to ride, even when you are a beginner on the road. You will want to take this one everywhere.

There are a few sizes to choose from to make purchasing a bit easier and you have the option of picking out from some different colors as well. Overall, this is a great bike to choose.

There are a few drawbacks to this one though. The power button is in an awkward position, which can make it hard to turn the bike on and off when you need it and the charging port is in a vulnerable position as well. These are things you can get used to, but it can be a little difficult as you learn.

Specialized S-Works Turbo Creo SL

The second bike on the list is going to be your favorite in no time. It comes in a variety of sizes from small to 2XL so you can find the size that works the best for you. It has a very smooth and natural system that can make it feel like you are gliding along on the road. Add in the integration of tech and this is a bike you are sure to love.

If you plan to ride the electric bike often, then you will love that it has a long battery life. This can save you the worry of running out of power in the middle of your bike ride as well. The low weight of the bike is an additional bonus that will help you carry it to the next location if you so choose.

The biggest issue with this bike is that it is going to be very expensive when compared to some of the other similar options on the market. You also have to worry about the position of the Turbo Connect Unit and whether it is going to be in the way when you ride. You may have to adjust to some of these or look at one of the other bikes on the list to find one for you.

Cannondale Topstone NEO Lefty 3

This one does not come in as many sizes as we saw with the previous option, but with options from small to XL, you will still be able to get some choices to fit your needs. the colors that it comes in are black and gray, making this a sleek bike that you will want to ride again and again.

If you are a bit unconfident when it comes to handling the electric bikes, then this is the one you should choose. It has great confidence inspiring handling and an impressive amount of power put down and traction. The long ranging battery will help you go on any trip that you would like without worrying about the bike dying on you.

There are a few drawbacks to this one that could be a concern when you purchase. The look of the bike is a bit strange compared to some of the rest and you may not like it as much as the others. The wheel specifications on it are lower end and there is a ton of torque, which can prove to be too much for many riders.

Wilier Cent01 Hybrid UltraGra DI2 E-Bike

This one comes in a few different sizes as well from XS to XL. You can also choose from a few different colors, which makes it a favorite compared to some of the others. Go with either blue and black or black and red to get a good looking e-bike that is sure to turn some heads when you hit the road and give it a try.

The torque assistance on this one is really powerful so be ready for it when you turn the bike on. The software that comes with it is easy to use and you will feel like the ride is racy and precise the entire time. The one-button interface will help you to turn on the bike and not have to worry about whether it will start at all.

This bike is not always the best for beginners because it comes with a ton of torque and may be too strong for those who are just starting out. You may not like the assistance that comes with this one either because it does take some time to adjust to and make sure that you are using it the right way.

Choosing the Best EBike for Your Needs

There are many great electric bikes that you can choose from, but you want to get the very best to ensure you are comfortable and going to have a lot of fun at the same time. Picking one will require some research along the way. When you are ready to pick out the right electric bike, take a look at some of the examples above to help you choose.
