10 Best women’s electric mountain bike & How To Choose!
There are many reasons to buy an electric bike (also known as an e-bike). They can help you bike more, drive less, go further and faster, and they’re a lot of fun!
But the market is flooded with so many e-bikes that it can be hard to know what to look for or where to start. As a woman, you may need to consider special factors. Like needing a smaller bike, wanting to wear a skirt, or just wanting a nice design.
The good news is that we’ve sorted out many options for you. We’ve tested, reviewed, surveyed and researched electric bikes to come up with our top picks for women’s electric bikes.
Women’s electric bikes for leisure or city riding
Most women looking for an electric bike are looking for an electric hybrid or cruiser bike that is suitable for leisure and/or city riding. These are our top choices for biking to work, running errands, cruising on bike paths, general fitness, or hauling kids.
Radpower radcity
The Radwagon Radcity is the perfect compromise between performance and price. It’s an affordable entry-level e-bike that’s great for riding around town, but has plenty of power and durability to get you where you need to go.
It has a powerful 750W motor, which we found could climb even the steepest of hills. the 7-speed drivetrain also makes climbing easier. (Some cheaper Radpower bikes only have one gear).
We love the low stance, which makes wearing skirts easy, and the overall vibe feels European and stylish rather than stodgy.
HOTEBIKE A5AH26
The HOTEBIKE A5AH26 is the perfect bike for riding to work or to the library. The rack on the back can hold your laptop bag or add some hanging baskets to carry groceries. If you have children you can also add a seat to the rear luggage rack.
This bike has electric assist and a throttle to make getting started easier.The 500 watt raw benefit motor can drive you up to 20 mph with a range of 20-40 miles.
VVolt Alpha
The VVolt Alpha Step Thru is affordable, simple and stylish. In fact, you might not even notice it’s an e-bike unless you look closely.
We love the Gates belt drive (it won’t rust and doesn’t need lubrication) and the overall low-maintenance design. And because it has no unnecessary suspension forks or wide tyres, it’s super light for an e-bike at just 44lbs.
This means you can ride it home even if the battery dies, which is not the case with most e-bikes. The light weight is also great for women who sometimes have trouble parking heavier bikes or staying stable at stop signs.
Cerro One
The Cero One is a “light” cargo bike. It has plenty of room in the front basket and rear rack for carrying gear. This makes it a great option for women who want to be able to use a bike instead of a car for trips to the library or grocery shop, but don’t want to have a bulky cargo bike.
The Cero One isn’t cheap, but comes with top-notch components. Unlike many of the cheaper bikes on this list, it has a mid-drive (instead of a hub-drive motor) and feels super smooth.
HOTEBIKEA3AL28
With a powerful 350 watt rear drive motor, this bike is easy to ride on even the steepest of hills, and the 8-speed internally geared hub helps you get up them. Unlike many one-wheeled e-bikes, the HOTEBIKEA3AL28 is also available in two different sizes to better suit a variety of women.
Other women’s e-bikes to consider
Specialized Turbo Como – Specialized is known for offering beautiful bikes at competitive prices. This is a great option if you want to buy from your local bike shop.
Trek Verve +* – Stylish and fast. Perfect for rushing to work.
Radpower Radwagon* – Affordable long tail cargo bike.
HOTEBIKE A7AH20- Folding fat tyre electric bike. Great for RV living, campground cruising.
Women’s Electric Mountain Bike
Mountain biking is very fun, but also very difficult. Electronic assistance can help you go further, faster and with less effort. Whether you want to keep up with your partner, stay in shape, or stay in Zone 2 on an easy training day, electric mountain bikes are a great choice.
Specialized Turbo Levo
Ready for some serious fun, the Specialized Turbo Levo has you covered. With 3 power settings and smooth power engagement, you’ll feel like you’re flying up steep hills.
The Specialized Turbo Levo is perfect for women because it comes in a wide range of frame sizes, especially the lower sizes as well as the adjustable frame geometry. In addition to the various frame sizes, there are also a variety of build levels, so no matter what your budget is, you can find a model that works for you.
Our only complaint about the bike is the weight, but Specialized even has a solution! If the Specialized Turbo Levo is too heavy for you, you may also want to consider the Specialized Turbo Levo SL, which has less power but a significant weight reduction.
HOTEBIKE A6AH26-S
One of the biggest issues with women’s electric mountain bikes is weight. Fortunately, there are lighter weight options, such as the HOTEBIKE A6AH26-S.
Thanks to its flexible geometry and full-size motor, the HOTEBIKE A6AH26-S can tackle almost any trail. Carbon aluminium frame with rear shock absorber and shock absorbing fork.
Women’s electric road and gravel bikes
Electric recumbent handlebar bikes have come a long way. Today, integrated batteries and motors are hardly noticeable. So go ahead and conquer that century of climbing or riding with the extra help of electric assist.
Trek Domane +
The Trek Domane + is a carbon fibre road bike with invisible electric assist. It is much lighter compared to other e-bikes so you can ride without electric assistance without adding to your load. You can even remove the battery if you want to save weight and use the bike as a traditional road bike on certain days.
The 500w Fazua motor is best in class, engages smoothly and is relatively quiet. The bike comes in a variety of build levels (also known as price points), but even the entry-level bikes offer higher-end features such as hydraulic disc brakes and vacuum-tyred wheels.
While the bike is best suited to tarmac, it has enough tyre clearance to fit some sturdier tyres on dirt and gravel roads.
Shuangye A6-R
The Shuangye A6-R doesn’t switch on as stealthily as other options, but maybe that doesn’t matter to you. The bike’s strengths are power, range and speed.
The Shuangye A6-R is a popular gravel bike, but it also performs well on the road. For shorter women, we appreciate that the bike has an aluminium frame and the larger sized wheels come with 700c.
While the battery range is amazing, our one complaint about this bike is that it’s not great for multi-day trips or touring. This is due to the fact that the battery takes a long time to charge and there aren’t many eyelets in the bags, bottles and racks.
