The Livewire may be Harley-Davison's first electric motorcycle, but it's not going to be its last electric two-wheeler. Today marks its official entry into the ebike market with a brand new company named after Harley's oldest known motorcycle.

Earlier this month, we spent some time with the GX folding electric city bike from the UK's Gocycle, and were mighty impressed. Now the company has launched the limited edition G3+, which offers a 50-mile range and comes with a funky LED cockpit.

Nireeka's second carbon-framed ebike is an absolute sci-fi stunner to look at. It's also seriously powerful, rocking Bafang's biggest, baddest mid-drive motor and giant 4-inch fat tires for confident off-roading. We've been riding it for a few weeks.

This eye-catching ebike offers 750 watts of power, about 500 watt-hours of battery, a long list of neat gadgetry and an impossible-looking pair of hubless wheels you can poke your arm right through. But we'd urge caution when it comes to buying one.

At the end of last year, Segway gave us a glimpse of a few of its upcoming urban mobility electric two-wheelers, including an eMoped. Now the company has put that C80 model up for pre-order on Indiegogo.

Morfuns Bicycle started work on a lightweight folding ebike called the Éole back in December last year, and now the company has launched on Indiegogo to bring the carbon-fiber-packing ride to production.

There are now a number of kits that allow users to temporarily convert their regular mountain bike into an ebike. While most of those involve swapping in a powered wheel or wheel-roller, Elevate is different – it's installed over the rear disc brake.

Juiced has unleashed another high-powered ebike/e-moped/electric motorcycle, this time taking aim at range anxiety with not one, but two 52-volt, 19.2-Ah batteries. The HyperScrambler 2 can beat 100 miles easily and reach speeds over 30 mph.

Shimano's new EP8 ebike motor is smaller, lighter and quieter than its predecessor, and packs the torque to compete against the best of Bosch, with more battery space. Here it is in a sweet-looking enduro ebike: the 2021 Commencal Meta Power.

The design minds of bike veteran Lars Jensen and Anders Hermansen, who has form working for high-end audio house Bang & Olufsen, have created a "shapely, handy and functional" ebike for the city called the Movea E-motion.

In December 2019, Germany's Dr. Dennis Freiburg stamped his name into the Guinness Book of World Records with the world's lightest ebike: the 6.872-kg (15.15-lb) Freicycle. Now, he's revealed how he did it – with a 600-watt friction drive motor.

Ebikes offer tremendous exercise opportunities for people trying to get in shape, and the 1,000-watt New Leaf 3.0 is built from aircraft-grade chromoly steel to allow seriously big, heavy riders a chance to get out on the road with confidence.
