The only problem is, cycling can be hard work — particularly for folks who live near hills. Electric bikes help to take some of the strain, and they come in all shapes and sizes. Here is our roundup of the very best e-bikes that money can buy.

High-End Cycling

Despite the name, the Footloose is more future chic than ’80s retro. The 250 W motor will keep you going for 37 miles while the chainless design means fewer pit stops. Just be prepared to empty your bank account…

Take a minute to admire the Noordung. Designed like a classic racing motorbike, this bicycle (yes, really) has a USB port to charge your smartphone, and integrated speakers. Again, just don’t look at the price.

Fat tyres and a powerful hub gear motor make the Boar well suited to exploring. This advanced ‘sports utility’ bike even adjusts the electric power to compensate for your weakening legs.

One for the enthusiasts, the NYX is built for flat-out speed. The hand-made carbon monocoque is made specifically for taking electric power off-road.
