Why should I get a bike with motor?

With the improvements in Lithium battery technology, a bike with an electric motor is now a perfectly viable form of everyday transportation. The average battery will last over twenty miles on a single charge, and many people are switching over to electric bikes as a replacement for a car.

With better technology comes more manufacturers, and with more manufacturers comes a bigger selection of bicycles with electric motors. Many of them are still heavy-duty powerhouse ebikes, where the rider just pulls a throttle and takes off, like a motorcycle. Others are now utilizing super-lightweight pedal-assist motors, where the rider gets proportional power, depending on how hard they pedal. Some people may prefer one over the other, and it can be difficult to choose without some background knowledge. To help, we've outlined some key features in three diverse bikes with motors. Read about them and decide for yourself!
