Expert reviews and analysis of the best electric bikes products
A folding e-bike built for commuting: twin down tubes give it a stiffer, calmer ride than most folders, it weighs a little over 18 kg, and it folds to 72 x 69 x 37 cm. The 248 Wh battery covers up to 50 km, or nearly double with the range extender.
A purist folding e-bike that undercuts most rivals: a 417 Wh battery good for 60 km-plus in rolling terrain, a quiet Bafang rear-hub motor, hydraulic discs and just 19.5 kg. Only the folding action needs patience.
The Tenways CGO Compact combines a tidy frame, excellent urban agility, belt-drive simplicity and useful carrying potential in a format suited to flats and narrow corridors. Its rigid front end and firm saddle are much less forgiving on broken roads.
The Moustache Mardi 27.6 FS is the kind of premium urban e-bike that makes ordinary commuter bikes feel crude. Its fully suspended one-piece frame, Bosch Performance Line CX motor and belt-driven Enviolo setup deliver an unusually calm, plush ride with very little everyday fuss. The catch is obvious: nearly 30kg of mass and a GBP/EUR premium-bike price tag mean this is a luxury take on city transport, not a sensible value choice.
