Commuter E-Bikes
Built to serve as practical transportation. They come in a variety of styles, including models with narrow tires and straight handlebars, others with bigger tires and thicker frames, and folding e-bikes that make them easier to stow on a bus or train.
Electric Bike Types
Cruiser E-Bikes
Built for comfort, cruisers often share many of the same attributes as commuter bikes. They offer a relaxed, comfortable upright seating position and often a softer ride because of bigger tires and cushier seats. Look for swooping handlebars that keep a rider’s arms at a relaxed distance from the body.
Mountain E-Bikes
With beefier frames, bigger tires, and sometimes long-travel suspension components, mountain bikes are built to handle trails, large rocks, logs, and other rough terrain and obstacles. Adding an electric motor to a mountain bike makes a lot of sense for someone who wants the fun without as much fatigue.
