Best Commuter: NIU NQi GT
Best Performance: Zero SR/F
Best Adventure: LiveWire S2 Del Mar
Harley-Davidson’s electric offshoot has hit its stride with the S2 Del Mar. This middleweight adventure bike combines off-road capability with highway comfort. The 100 hp motor and 84 lb-ft of torque provide plenty of punch, while the 121-mile combined range makes it a viable tourer. The price point of around $15,000 puts it squarely in the sweet spot of the market.
Best Budget: Segway C80
Yes, the same company that makes those scooters. The Segway C80 is an electric moped-style bike that costs under $2,000 and delivers genuine utility. With a 50-mile range and 30 mph top speed, it won’t win any races, but for short urban trips and campus commuting, it’s unbeatable value.
Whatever your budget or riding style, there’s an e-moto waiting for you. Get out there and ride.
