Electric bikes are a fantastic way to ride further with less effort, arriving at your destination feeling fresh, e-bikes are ideal for cycling to work. Nothing comes close to that powerful boost to your natural pedalling power from an eBike. With electric bikes, you can ride further with less effort, arriving at work feeling refreshed without the need to shower and change clothes.

A new generation of e-bikes is changing our relationship with cycling. By making the sport – and, more importantly, the mode of transportation – more accessible, bicycle commuting is becoming increasingly popular among those who hadn’t previously considered it.

One thing is true of electric bikes, they open up the capabilities of almost any bike style to fit it to your needs. Giving you that extra boost from the motor and battery, you sail up hills, you can rightly make the case for almost any e-bike being a great commuter.

Our team of expert technicians have reviewed some of the best commuter e-bikes money can buy in 2022. We’ve compiled our favourites into a list to help you pick the best commuter e-bike for your needs. These bikes are all in stock or soon will be!!

Commuter e-bikes on this list will not get you to your destination without sweating through your clothes, they’ll also get you there quickly and with the battery capacity to easily cover long distances.

Our evaluation of commuter e-bikes was primarily based on:

• Range: The average round trip commute in the U.K is about 23 miles. All the electric bikes on the list can easily achieve this putting even the Duracell Bunny to shame.
• Comfort: You want to be comfortable enough to arrive at your destination without lower back pain, ready for the day’s activities
• Components and extras: Many of our customers use their electric bikes as a second car replacement, so they need to have some of the features. Will it connect to your phone via Bluetooth? Does the bike have good lights, can it help you to navigate, or carry the shopping home?
• Design: This might seem obvious, but it’s not. Although It is important to consider what the manufacturer designed the e-bike for. At times we break from their intended use and ask what else can this bike do?

On the list, there are traditional commuter e-Bikes but also there are one or two surprises too!
