Hi Raphael,
Thanks for pointing that out. We’ve added Giant as a brand to “Where to buy” section, as Giant bikes can be found all around the country basically in every large town across the US. Their bikes and selection are indeed very good. We made this post to diversify the selection and point out some of the best bikes you can order online, without the middleman.
Hey Amy, great question! I can give my two cents:
– If you want to ride alone (non-electric) and be able to ride with and keep up with someone much stronger (electric).
– If you want to ride for fitness and leisure (non-electric) and take kids to school or do grocery shopping (electric).
– If you want to ditch the car and still travel far (electric) but also participate in local group rides (non-electric).
…and so on! 🙂
Hey Mike, great question!
You are right, a mid-drive e-bike is generally better for climbing steep hills, especially if it also comes with a wide-range cassette. Instead of focusing on the watts, I actually recommend taking torque into consideration and getting a model with 70+ Nm. This will ensure good acceleration and lots of power on steep climbs. Hope this helps!
Hi Tom!
We still haven’t had the chance to try one out, but we’re looking to change that.
They’re well-built smart e-bikes with lots of modern features that are great for urban commutes. They are certainly not affordable, but worth it if you like all the gizmos.
Hey John, any helmet on this list with MIPS technology will get the job done. They all meet the same safety and quality standards. Cheers!
That is the MSRP, Bruce. You got the standard deal. Enjoy your Ranger!
Hi Nicolas! All bike computers and speedometers on this list update the distance every 10 meters at least, especially the more advanced ones.
Hey Stuart! Actually, most of these bikes will suit you. Lectric XP has a 275 lb maximum rider weight, RadExpand 5 carries up to 275 lbs, Tern HSD P9 has a 264.6 lb maximum rider weight, Engwe EP-2 pro has a 330 lb max load, etc. So feel free to choose any of these.
You’re welcome, Nick! Thanks for reading!
You are welcome, David! We’re happy that you found it useful!
Hey Paul, there are quite a few. Two notable examples include Chumba bikes and Co-motion. You can check out this exhaustive list for more.
Hey Tim, no special reason not to include Poseidon Redwood. There are simply so many good gravel bikes out there right now that it’s hard not to leave some out. It’s a decent bike, it might make the list in the future.
RadExpand 5 weighs 62.5 lb, which is 5 lb less compared to RadMini.
I’m happy to hear that, Gina! Have fun on your e-bike!
Hey Ron, see if your trike fits on this carrier or contact one of these brands:

Hey Joseph, feel free to check out our bikepacking-related articles where we talk at length about it:

https://bikexchange.com/bikepacking-essential-tips/
Good luck and have fun! I think this selection is a good place to start.
Thanks, George! I’m happy to hear you enjoyed reading the article!
The 2022 Turbo Como 5.0 is a phenomenal bicycle, especially for commuters who want a fuss-free experience and a bike that requires minimal maintenance.
We still haven’t gotten around to reviewing it, but we plan to change that soon.
Cheers!
Not at all!
Hey Cheryl, you should check similar ads on Craigslist or eBay to get an idea of the resale value.
I think you should be able to get $800-$1,000, but do check the market first.
Good luck!
Why not, Alice, that sounds like a great idea. You can take a detour on the way home and have some fun as well!
I’m sure breaking each one in would not be fun. 🙂
Thanks for letting us know, Bob. We’ve fixed the issue now.
