Best electric bikes with 30+ miles of range

Top pick: Aventon Level 3 Commuter E-Bike. It's built for exactly this — a commuter frame, 27.5-inch wheels that handle rough pavement and gravel, and a range comfortably past 30 miles. If you want one bike to ride to work and back without thinking about charging, this is it.

Who the others suit:

• Lectric XPedition 2.0 — rated up to 60 miles, and the cargo-friendly choice if you carry kids, groceries or gear.
• WIRED Freedom — the long-distance option, with a big dual battery and a 90-mile claim; heavy and fast, so best for riders who want range above all.
• Aipas F3 Max Adventurer — fat tires and a big battery for trails and mixed surfaces.
• Engwe E26 — a budget-friendly fat-tire folder-style ride for casual use.
• TST R002 — moped styling and full suspension if you like the scooter look.

Range figures are manufacturer claims and drop with hills, weight and throttle use — expect noticeably less than the headline number.
