If you’ve been watching the news, or just watching the numbers when you fill up your tank, you already know: Gas prices are rising right along with the spring temperatures. You may have started hearing chatter about electric cars, hybrids and even E-Bikes as alternative travel options, and for good reason! Traveling by electric car or bike is a more eco-friendly way to get around (or out of) town—and it means no stopping for gas.

If you’re unfamiliar with E-Bikes, we’ll break it down. An E-Bike is an electric bicycle, but not a dirt bike, motorcycle or scooter. Most E-Bikes look similar to a regular bicycle, just with the addition of a small motor and battery. E-Bikes have mass appeal because they have different modes: You can pedal; you can pedal and use an electric assist (the equivalent of a moving sidewalk); or you can use only electric. These modes make the bikes practical for different roads and landscapes, as well as speeding up your commute. E-Bikes can go up to 20 mph and require some charging time for the battery, though the charge time differs depending on the motor and model.

We’ve rounded up 10 E-bikes you’ll want to consider if you’re ready to go electric.

1.XP Step-Thru 2.0

The XP STep-Thru 2.0 bike has a lower seat and step-through to accommodate a wider range of heights and mobility levels. The tires are wider than a city bike, so they can withstand more types of terrain like trails, mud and dirt roads. You may notice the bike’s design looks a bit funky, and that’s because this model can actually fold up, which is a fantastic feature for people who don’t have much storage or have multi-step commutes. (For example: riding their E-Bikes to the train station and then folding it up to hop on the subway). At $999, this is a more affordable option that doesn’t compromise on features or style.

2. Co-op Cycles CTY e2.2 Electric Bike

This E-Bike from REI Co-op looks almost identical to a city bike, aside from the motor that sits where a water bottle normally would. The bike’s sleek design is best for flatter terrain and paved roads, though the motor can help you out on hills. The Shimano e6100 motor is on the quieter side and has three pedal-assist modes and a walk mode. The bike also comes in three sizes—small, medium, and large—which isn’t as common among E-Bikes as it is with standard models. REI Co-op members will also get 10% of the purchase back as part of their yearly member dividend.

When folded, it’s easy to store or transport, and its battery offers a range of up to 46 miles when fully charged. The Jax Rev bike is only a single speed, but it’s convenient, zippy and comes in a great shade of green.
