As the way people move continues to change, electric bikes are becoming a more popular mode of transportation. They’re fun, good for the planet, and you don’t even need to be physically fit to ride one. Our team put them to the test: wired.trib.al/6m53CkH 1/
Whether you're scooting along at 28 mph or zipping through trees at your local park, the Specialized Turbo Vado SL Equipped is a tiny but powerful option. Its custom motor and slim battery are integrated into the frame, so it doesn't look like an ebike. 2/ 
Looking for a cheaper alternative? We’ve got you covered. With trustworthy components like a Samsung battery,Shimano disc brakes, and nifty accessories, the Propella 7-Speed (V3.4) is the best cheap option we’ve found, and you can even get it shipped to your door. 3/
Downhills have never felt this smooth and safe. The Specialized Men's Turbo Levo Comp is an electric mountain bike that comes with a 500-watt motor with Smart Control which means you don't have to adjust assistance when riding. 4/
If you want an ebike in your quiver that can serve as both a daily commuter and for fun dirt rides on the weekend, the Cannondale Quick Neo SL is versatile, light, gorgeous, and it’s not too flashy; however, the app isn’t very convenient. 5/
Folding bikes are a great option if storage space is an issue. The Tern Vektron S10 is compact and has a built-in display which is more convenient than mounting a phone. It also has a high-end Bosch Performance motor and computer that make pedaling a breeze. 6/
No more wobbling and terrifying your children as you exercise. The Urban Arrow Family is a cheaper option in comparison to the R&M Load, and it offers many of the same features, like comfort and maneuverability, and it doesn't have suspension. 7/
Pro tip: If you live in an area that's wet or hilly, it's worth shelling out for a more powerful 500-watt or 750-watt motor and a few extras that will help prevent you and your cargo from skidding into traffic. wired.trib.al/6m53CkH 8/
