Honbike Uni4 Stuff says ★★★★★ An appealing blend of outstanding looks, minimal maintenance and a relaxed electric ride
£1699 / go.stuff.tv/uni4
This urban e-bike is designed to be as maintenance-free as possible, with no gears, integrated lights, and a hub that swaps the oily chain for a nice clean belt. The non-removable battery might make it a poor choice for flat-dwellers, and the fixed gearing limits its touring appeal, but the Uni4 is an otherwise fantastic performer. The display is slick, the app strong and the styling distinctive. It undercuts similarly stylish rivals on price yet doesn’t skimp on features.
Cowboy Classic
from £2399 / go.stuff.tv/cowboyclassic
The Belgian maker’s flagship steed has 50% more torque than its predecessor, but the sleek profile and simple interface with GPS remain… and there’s also an equally excellent step-through version, the Cruiser ST.
Stuff says ★★★★★
Smoothly integrated e-power at a good price
Canyon Commuter:on 7
£3349 / go.stuff.tv/canyonon
We really enjoyed this e-bike’s handling, even when two pannier bags were fully loaded on the back. It also comes with super-slinky integrated lights. For the money, it’s a smart and nippy way to get from A to B.
Stuff says ★★★★★
A stylish and lightweight all-round option
Specialized Turbo Tero X 6.0
★★★★★ £5500 / go.stuff.tv/terox
An e-bike you can happily take off-road or trailer the kids to school on.
Lemond Prolog
★★★★★ £4359 / go.stuff.tv/prolog
An all-carbon commuter that doesn’t really look like it has a motor or a battery at all.
