Ecotric

Ecotric electric bikes, spanning commuter, fat-tire, and folding models at a range of price points.

As an entry-level-focused e-bike brand, Ecotric models generally trade some of the premium components and range you'd get from higher-priced brands for a lower upfront cost — a reasonable tradeoff if you're testing whether an e-bike fits your routine before investing more.

Battery range estimates from any e-bike manufacturer assume flat terrain and moderate pedal assist — expect less range on hills or at higher assist levels.
