This step-through e-bike has a powerful 500-watt motor and reaches top speeds of up to 25 miles per hour. It has a smaller range than some models, reaching distances of up to 40 miles on a single charge. However, it has a lightweight, quick-swapping battery, so if you purchase an extra (sold separately), it’s easy to switch out whenever your power runs low. It also has an LCD display and is paired with an NFC key for added security and instant start-ups.
