Best electric bicycles for adults

Start here: Velotric T1 ST Plus. It's the most "normal bike" of the bunch — light, quiet, built for commuting and paved or gravel paths, and sold by several shops, so it's easy to get serviced. Best if you want a bike that rides like a bike, not a scooter.

Who the others suit:

• Kingbull Ranger Vintage — the value all-rounder: strong 750W motor and a big battery for mixed roads and light trails.
• Aipas M1 Pro Xterrain — full suspension and a mountain frame if your rides include rough ground.
• Aipas F3 Max Adventurer — fat tires and long range for long, varied rides.
• Engwe L20 2.0 — the budget city runabout, in fun colors.
• TST R002 — moped-style with a throttle feel, for riders who want speed and full suspension.
• Segway Xafari — a known brand with hydraulic brakes and full suspension if you want a mainstream name.

Check the motor wattage and battery against local e-bike rules before you buy.
