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.

Our reviewer Joseph Kaminski called this folding electric bike “the best electric bike for small spaces and small budgets,” but what it lacks in size it makes up for in usability. Reaching speeds up to 15 mph, it has pedal assist and its own throttle.

The RadWagon 5 is out now, so the price of the RadWagon 4 has dipped a bit, down $400 from its previous retail price. If replacing a car is your goal, this cargo bike might do the trick. You can haul groceries, kids and even the family dog with this bike, which can go up to 45 miles on a single charge and hold up to 350 pounds.

In his roundup of the best e-bikes of 2024, CNET expert Joseph Kaminski called the Lectric XP 3.0 the best e-bike for heavy cargo. “It’s robust and versatile, with a total payload capacity of 330 pounds, including a rear rack that supports up to 150 pounds,” he says. So if you’re in the market for a bike with a long range that has big carrying capacity, this one will do the trick.
