# Here are the best electric bikes you can buy at every price level in May 2026

I’ve spent countless hours here at _Electrek_ doing detailed hands-on testing of hundreds of electric bikes. Through thousands of miles of riding, I’ve been fortunate to learn these e-bikes inside and out, top to bottom and front to back. That long-term experience with real-world e-bike testing has helped me find the best electric bicycles on the market for just about any budget.

Below are some of the top e-bikes I’ve hand-tested for every price range, current as of May 2026. With great riding weather upon us, it’s time to get back in the saddle! Check out the awesome e-bikes below, any one of which could become your next electric bike.

This list is divided into several price ranges. We’ll start with the best e-bikes under $1,000, then move on to the under-$2,000 category, under-$3,000 category, etc. The goal is to highlight some of my favorite models in various budget ranges to help you make the right decision based on your needs and budget.

The sub-$1,000 electric bike category is critical for a few reasons.
