Perfect for those urban warriors who have a long commute, or road cyclists who need that extra push on hills.
Folding:

Perfect for the space savers among us, this little gem can be folded up in a jiffy and tucked away - whether that's in the trunk of your car, under a desk, or even on your daily bus. City dwellers, you're in luck! This is your go-to for zipping around town, making those short to moderate distances a breeze. Urban mobility just got a whole lot easier!
Cargo:
Ever had to juggle a mountain of groceries or coax a child onto a bike seat, all while keeping your balance on two wheels? These bikes are built with sturdy frames and extended wheelbases so you can do just that, without breaking a sweat. With cargo racks or platforms, they're perfect for families, businesses, or anyone who's ever thought, "I wish my bike could carry more." So why not give them a try? You might just find they make your life a whole lot easier.

Absolutely. Go ahead, explore those unpaved trails and make the most of your beach cruises and snowy escapades!
Hybrid/All-Purpose:
Looking for a one-size-fits-all solution to your biking needs? These versatile e-bikes are just the ticket. They're a clever mix of commuter, road, and mountain bike features, offering you the ultimate all-terrain experience. Why limit yourself to one type of ride when you can conquer them all? These bikes are perfect for those adventurous souls who crave variety in their riding conditions.
These eBike categories can overlap, and there may be specialized e-bikes designed for specific purposes not covered by these general categories, such as touring, electric-assist cargo trikes, or electric tandem bikes.
