The best electric bike kit

Riding a bicycle to work everyday is great exercise, emission-free, and lots of fun. However, due to the amount of sweat or effort involved, many people are unwilling to ride a bicycle as a commuter vehicle. With new developments in electric bike conversion kits, a bike can now be converted to a viable electric commuter. Depending on the rider, there are different opinions about the best electric bicycle kit. Some prefer a twist-and-go ebike, so there is no pedaling or sweat involved. Others enjoy more of a bicycle feel, with a little bit of added assistance from an electric motor. There are so many different options to choose from, that almost anyone can find the best electric bike motor kit.

The best electric bike kit?

For everyday commuters, picking the best electric bicycle kit is a choice that depends solely on the rider.

Almost any bike, trike, or recumbent can be outfitted with an electric bike conversion kit, and with the average commuter traveling less than two miles per day to work, electric bikes are a perfectly viable form of everyday transportation. Check out some of the best electric bike kits.

IF Mode review

When I first saw the IF Mode I was in awe. The amazing natural folding mechanism and sculpted lines are even cooler when you see them in action. Unfolding in a mere 20 seconds and easily rolling along when folded, this bike is perfect for the commuter with a high sense of style.

The IF Mode folding bike is by far the coolest looking folder available.

The Sanyo Eneloop electric bike

The Sanyo Eneloop electric bike is quickly turning into one of our best selling electric bikes. Sanyo has just dropped retail pricing to below $2k and $1700 on the entry level Sanyo Eneloop electric bike

We do have a lot of simpler technology throttled bikes as we had for the past 10 years but the consumer is growing up and understands how a lightweight, efficient pedelec bike makes a lot of sense. A lot of our test-riders choose the Eneloop electric bike after trying out different systems.

A pedelec has tons of advantages over a throttled bike but if you are into (moped-like) heavier electric bikes than an eZeebike or A2B Metro might do the trick.
