One of the great things about e-bikes is that they allow cyclists to go further, faster and carry more with less effort than a traditional bicycle. They empower through power, making it more practical to leave the car in the garage, or ditch it all together.
Here are five e-bikes that could allow you ditch the car and carry on life’s daily duties by bike. From electric bikes that help you speed through your city commute, to ones that'll fold down small for the tiniest apartment, gobble up the longest of commutes, and cargo e-bikes that carry the kids and all your weekly shopping.
Trek XM700+
Don’t let the relaxed looks of this Dutch-inspired commuter bike fool you. Trek’s XM700+ is a speedy commuter. A mid-drive Bosch Performance Speed System allows the XM700+ to cruise along at a maximum speed of 28mph/45kph. The XM700+ has a maximum range of 50mi/80km.

Just enough squish to take the edge off
Trek opted to incorporate its SPA suspension fork into the XM700+. This short-travel suspension fork provides 35mm of travel, which is just enough to absorb potholes and road chatter when riding at high speeds.
