ebikes

A new contender in the race to make the sleekest ebike, Bonc uses a frame-integrated battery to maintain the thin-tubed diamond geometry of a road commuter. An inconspicuous water bottle-style range-extender boosts available assist to 85 miles.

Back in 2018, the UK's Revolutionworks launched the Revos, an add-on kit designed to give a standard bike electric assist. Now the Bristol-based company has released an ebike of its own, a lightweight commuter called the Whippet.

It was four years ago that we first heard about the Electrom, a one-of-a-kind two-wheeled pedal-electric vehicle with a unique dual drivetrain. Well, you will soon have the chance to buy one for yourself … although some assembly will be required.

While some ebikes are simply designed to make cycling easier, others are intended to outright replace cars. VanMoof's just-announced V ebike will be very much the latter, as it should have a top speed of 50 km/h (31 mph), along with two-wheel drive.

Wireless charging systems for electric cars certainly are convenient, as drivers just park the vehicle, get out, and leave it to charge. Well, Dutch company Tiler has created a similar technology for ebikes.

Ares Design is known for four-wheel creations, but it's ready to prove it knows its way around two wheels, too. Partnering with ebike maker HPS, it presents a $22,000 ebike that weighs under 20 pounds and looks like a non-electric commuter.

If an ebike with a weird-looking partially-3D-printed steel frame isn't already unique enough for you, how about if that frame is copper-plated? Such is the case with the new Urwahn MCM EDT, but take note – only 50 of the bikes were made.

A full-suspension electric 29er built for the city, the Åska may look like the latest electric light motorcycle, but a Gates carbon belt drive and Pinion gearbox keep your feet and calves engaged, while the modular design lets you swap in new components.

Scott is leaning heavy on integration for its latest Bosch-powered, trail-busting ebike. The Patron eRide rocks Bluetooth connectivity, hidden cables and an invisible rear shock integrated into the frame for a rugged look that'll keep the mud out.

There are some ebikes that try to look like regular bicycles, some that try to look like classic motorcycles, and others that aim for a quirky design that isn't entirely either of the other two. The Vinci definitely falls into the last group.

Last October, Harley-Davidson launched a spin-out company called Serial 1, and built a gorgeous retro-cool ebike prototype to celebrate. Now the company has announced a limited production run of that original concept – the S1 MOSH/TRIBUTE.

Perhaps you like the idea of a cafe-racer-style motorbike, but you don't want an actual big, fast, scary motorcycle. Well, you might want to check out the Beachman '64, as we're told that it's legally considered an ebike – in Canada, at least.
