For an all-day adventure, you can boost the battery life with an optional range extender. Vision Afterburner wheels are wrapped with Challenge Gravel Grinder tires in size 650 x 46c. ( argon18.com)

Giant Road E+ 1 Pro $5,699

The Road E+ 1 Pro packs a lot of power and knows when to distribute it. The alloy all-road ebike features Giant’s Syncdrive Pro motor resulting in 80 Nm of torque at the cranks. When you’re riding in Smart Assist mode, the motor knows when you’re on a climb and hands out assistance accordingly. The battery is capable of 145 km on a single charge in optimal conditions according to Giant, thanks to the 500-Wh capacity. Expect even more distance with the optional range extender. Shifting and braking are handled by the Shimano Ultegra groupset. The wheels and tires are tubeless-ready. ( giant-bicycles.com/ca)
