If you’re in the market for a long range electric bike, it’s important to note that range is not cut and dry. Many factors influence an e-bike’s range, such as rider’s weight, terrain, level of pedal assist, and the amount and weight of cargo being carried.
With that out of the way, let’s look at some of the top options for a long range electric bike.

At Electrified E-bikes, we feel it’s important for our customers to look at all the factors that influence bike choice, in addition to range, when considering the purchase of an e-bike.
When choosing a range, consider your needs and your price range. A longer-range bike will cost more, and some can reach up to $10,000 or more. Think about the weight of your bike as well.
Long-distance bikes have larger batteries and more powerful motors, making them heavier. This added weight influences how hard it is to pedal when your battery is running low. On the flip side, the benefit of having a heavier bike means it’s more stable.
The bikes we carry at Electrified e-bikes, Velotric, and Jupiter have an outstanding balance of range versus price. Range also decreases over time as the battery ages, so committing to a good care and maintenance program is crucial to get the most from your e-bike.
