In our modern world, electric cargo bikes are meant for carrying loads of groceries, taking the kids to school, and simply being an alternative to a car around town.

While the idea of cargo e-bikes is relatively straightforward, some cargo e-bikes do their jobs better than others. A good cargo e-bike can make the difference between driving or riding to the grocery store. It can also make day-to-day tasks more fun and engaging.

Folding e-bikes are all the rage in Europe, where space comes at a premium, and many commuters rely on public transit for at least a portion of their daily round trip to and from the office.

Here in the US, we have the luxury of larger living areas, an abundance of storage space, and, in many cases, our own automobiles to handle the daily commute.

So why should we concern ourselves with finding the best folding e-bikes? In short, because of their versatility!

The collapsible nature of folding electric bikes allows them to take up less space in a garage, be transported in a car or SUV without the need for a bike rack, or come along in the RV on a family road trip. Even if a bike’s folding feature is only used occasionally, it’s a convenience that makes a difference when you’re in a pinch!

While folding e-bikes often have some tradeoffs with their fixed-frame cousins, the differences are usually minimal. Folding bikes regularly include fat tires and suspension forks for off-road riding, cargo racks for hauling gear or passengers, powerful motors for riding fast and climbing hills, and great brakes with effective stopping power.

After riding and testing a myriad of folding e-bikes, our team of reviewers here at Electric Bike Report have selected their favorites. We hope this list of the best folding electric bikes helps you to find a model that fits your needs and budget!

Moped-style e-bikes look to combine the essential e-bike characteristics of having pedals and a relatively low-powered electric assist motor system with many of the comfort and convenience features of mopeds or other types of typically gas-powered motorbikes. That often means a bench seat (that may also be able to accommodate a passenger and so rear footpegs may also be present), motorcycle-grade suspension and tires plus lighting features like a full-on headlamp or even turn signals.

So why would anyone want a moped-style e-bike? No doubt to some the motorbike look is a real hook, whilst others might be fans of some of the celebrity adherents of brands like Super 73.

More than all this though, moped e-bikes have real, practical benefits. A long bench seat, suspension, and large tires all offer greater comfort than many other designs of e-bike whilst features such as an upright riding position, well-specced lighting and a powerful motor with some degree of throttle control can help them feel very safe in busy town traffic. On the downside, they tend to carry a weight penalty for all that extra heavy-duty equipment.

Like other genres of e-bikes, moped e-bikes will each have their own strengths and weaknesses; some may be better for commuting, some for off-roading….and so on, but all share a fun and funky ride feel that’s hard to define but easy to sense once you get motoring on a moped-style e-bike. So without further ado let’s take a look at what we think are the best moped e-bikes out there right now.
