Pedal-assisted

Many ebikes sport a derailleur to giver riders more flexibility than single-speeders. There are exceptions that combine gears with the motor, such as Pinion and Valeo. And now there's another, as Scotland's Intradrive system goes into pilot production.

Budget e-mobility brand Engwe announced a new ebike series at CES 2025, stepping into premium build territory with the Mapfour commuter. The N1 Air and N1 Pro models have now been detailed, each built around a "high-grade carbon" frame.

Electric-bike brand Heybike has launched a competitively priced adventure ebike. The Alpha sports chunky fat tires for city riding and beyond, terrain-soaking adjustable front squish and a mid-mount motor with torque sensor.

Around this time last year, Segway announced a pair of ebikes geared for adventure. Now the company has revealed full specs and pricing for the low-step Xafari and moto-inspired Xyber, as well as opening the pre-order books.

When you think of a folding cargo ebike, you'll likely picture a short- or long-tail model with the rack behind the rider. Germany startup Car.Los Mobility has instead combined the load capacity of a front-loader with the benefits of a folding ebike.

New York's Priority Bicycles has announced a new e-commuter that's been designed with input from customers. The Current Plus features a mid-drive motor and Gates belt combination, an Enviolo or Shimano rear hub, and a 75-mile battery.

Last year, premium electric mountainbike brand Thok previewed Project 4, a prototype rolling with a 3D-printed aluminum and silicon alloy frame that would inform the design of a carbon-framed model. That eMTB has now arrived as the TP4-R.

Folks with limited mobility or those who just like more ride stability could find new freedom by sliding onto the comfort seat of an electric trike. Startup Meet One Trike has launched a dual-motor e-trike called the Tour that could fit the bill.

Trek is looking to help riders get around in premium style with a tasty commuter in low- and high-step variants. The FX+ 7 is reported "light enough to carry up stairs, powerful enough to fly up climbs, and equipped to carry whatever riders need."

Lectric has a reputation for quality builds at affordable prices. Such is the case for an updated version of the XPeak all-terrain adventure bike, which keeps the same price tag as the original but can now be optioned with a longer-range battery.

The icy fingers of winter are starting to grip folks in the Northern Hemisphere, which might mean packing away the bike until things warm up. But the latest e-ride from Giant has been designed for "those who embrace the thrill of winter riding."

Following a successful Indiegogo for a long-range folding ebike in January, e-mobility outfit Mihogo has returned to the platform with a lightweight commuter. The Air's carbon fiber frame is jam-packed with batteries for up to 128 miles per charge.
