Electric bikes are by far the fastest-growing sector in cycling and for good reason.

Electric bikes, often referred to as e-bikes, span all disciplines of cycling – from trail-crushing eMTBs to electric cargo bikes, there’s an assisted bike for everyone.

The best electric bikes often feature powerful motors with integrated batteries in the downtube of the bike, though this isn’t the case for all.

We have scoured the web to find the best electric bike deals for all types of bikes and budgets.
