Pedal-assisted

The Swoop ASM is a long-tail cargo ebike designed for families, offering high payload capacity, a smooth ride, a Shimano EP-6 motor, automatic shifting, powerful brakes, and included accessories. Pre-orders start at $4,499 including launch discounts.

Aventon’s Ramblas ADV e-MTB steps firmly into trail territory with a new 750-W mid-drive motor delivering 100 Nm of torque. Launching at $2,899, it bridges the gap between value ebikes and premium mid-drive mountain brands.

The new Levo R squeezes an 850-W motor that adjusts power delivery in real time for maximum traction into a trail bike weighing under 19 kg. The result is an e-MTB designed, above all else, not to feel like an e-MTB at all.

We frequently hear about ebikes that are designed to replace cars, but they're still basically bicycles. The Elecy, however, is a pedal-electric vehicle that's much more car-like than most, offering full weather protection and seating for two.

Up until very recently, DJI's lightweight-but-torquey Avinox mid-drive motor has been powering off-road eMTB adventures. The Revo-C from Germany's Velo De Ville high-end custom is one of the first commuter rides to bring such power to city riding.

Where other ebike makers might choose Bosch, Brose, TQ or even DJI to meet their mid-drive motor needs, Velotric is cycling its own path. The Discover M commuter features a proprietary 500-W Velo-Core mid-drive system that delivers 100 Nm of torque.

The Frikar was certainly one of the most compelling pedal-electric vehicles to come our way in the past several years. And although its maker went bankrupt last year, the bike is now set to ride again – as the TwoZero Classic.

Whether you're just looking for a more stable ride, or something a bit more comfortable than your average ebike, a pedal-assist trike could be a good shout. The Chill from Trike Bike includes a few features not common in the three-wheeled world.

Taiwan's Tern Bicycles has listened to its customers and delivered a belt-drive Vektron folding ebike as part of the fourth-generation rollout in the US, which also includes a regular chain-driven flavor that offers a sportier ride.

A few years back, BMW teamed up with Cube and SoFlow to prototype a funky leaning cargo e-trike as part of a mobility expo. Cube subsequently launched the concept as the Trike Hybrid in 2023, and has now added a flatbed variant to the range.

We're a little late to the party on this one, but this folding electric Long John is definitely worth a closer look. The E-Fold comes from a German startup and was born of the founder's frustration with trying to get his ride on public transport.

While many ebikes will provide assist for your outward commute, and possibly back home too, options decrease for weekend trekkers. Following the long-range Titan fat-tire ride, Fiido has now launched a triple-battery tourer called the Nomads.
