THE DOUBLE-DECKER CRISES of the coronavirus pandemic and climate change have prompted many of us to rethink how we live our daily lives. For millions of Americans, that has included hopping on an ebike, whether we rented one from a bike-share or bought our own. To get more news about ebike, you can visit davincimotor.com official website.

For years, electric bicycles were bulky, inconvenient, expensive machines with limited battery life. Slowly, that has changed. Ebikes are now lighter, more attractive, and more powerful than ever. You don’t need to be physically fit to ride one. They get you outside, reduce traffic congestion, and shrink your carbon footprint. And they’re fun!

Over the past few years, my fellow Gear writers and I have tried almost every kind of electric bike, from the best heavy-duty cargo bikes to high-end mountain bikes. We’re always testing new ones, so if you don’t see what you want, check back later (or drop me a note!). And once you buy an ebike, check out our favorite biking accessories, bike locks, and gear for a bikepacking adventure.If you’re shopping for a bike, you may have noticed a drastic increase in prices this year. Multiple factors, including the pandemic, have complicated the global supply chain, and exemptions on a 25 percent tariff on all ebike imports have expired. We’ve done our best to include lower-priced options.

We know ebikes are expensive, but we think of them as vehicles, not toys. When you’re carrying kids to school or flying down a hill at 25 mph with only a helmet for protection, you want a ride you can trust.

Reasonable financing options are the only reason why a $2,000 electric bike can feel prohibitively expensive, while a $6,000 beater gas-powered car has easy monthly payments. Many bike manufacturers and retailers do offer financing through companies like Affirm or PayPal. Your bank might cover ebikes under its vehicle loan program, and some utility companies even offer cash incentives to purchase ebikes. The Build Better Act also includes tax credits of up to 30 percent against the cost of an ebike. You may have more options than you think.
If you’re hunting for a bike for commuting, with all the bells and whistles, that you don’t have to assemble yourself, the Cannondale Adventure Neo 3 EQ (8/10, Wired Recommends) is a great pick. Cannondale is a big manufacturer, so its bikes are backed by a large support network of affiliated retailers and shops.

This model comes with built-in lights, a rack, and fenders. It also has a reliable Bosch 250-watt mid-drive motor, a lighter aluminum frame, and built-in seat suspension for a comfy ride. It might be a little underpowered in comparison to cruisers. But it’s also remarkably quiet, and our tester found no problem taking it up hills or along rough roads.

★ Alternative: Every bike manufacturer has a step-through intro cruiser this year. Some alternatives include the Turbo Como SL ($4,800), which beats the Adventure Neo series on looks alone, but the price is preposterous. Electra is owned by Trek, and its bikes have what it calls Flat Foot design. You can comfortably put your feet flat down on the ground while stopped, without having to make your seat uncomfortably low.I’ve tried several newer models from Rad Power Bikes this year, but it’s just incredibly difficult to find a bike that offers better value for the price than the RadRunner. This is still the bike that most people that I know buy. It’s also the bike that I see the most often around my hometown of Portland, Oregon. It has a seemingly magic blend of affordability and usefulness.

Seattle-based Rad Power Bikes ships direct to consumers. The bikes have custom hub-motor drivetrains, a 120-pound-capacity rack, and big, stable Kenda tires. At 750 watts, their motors are also more powerful than many of our other picks. It works as both a comfy beach cruiser or a commuter bike for kids.

★ Alternative: Rad Power Bikes recently updated both the flagship RadCity 5 Plus ($1,799) and the RadRover 6 Plus ($1,999). The RadCity is an urban commuter bike with a lower step-through height, and the RadRover is bigger, with fat tires. I’ve been long-term testing the RadRover, but I just don’t think it provides an additional $700 worth of value over the RadRunner.
