How we rank
The same rule is applied to all 107 e-bikes in our database, using the same physics model as the simulator. No brand pays for placement, and affiliate programs play no part in the order. Ranges are the middle of a ±20% band; see the methodology.
Want your own weight, speed or hills? Open any bike in the simulator: every result has its own link.
