Best e-bikes
I have visited numerous sites with the title " best e bikes". I have concluded that there is no such thing as a " best " e-bike. Do you enjoy your e-bike? Are you satisfied with the price? sems to me that there are many variables when deciding on your e bike.
Just an observation on my part -

there are a ton. that's why like a regular bike test rides are best. Also know what you want the bike for. myself I want to go faster then I can by myself and if I am sick I can still ride. but I want my bike to feel like a bike. so I have a Bosch powered mid drive. I needed reliability as I commute every day and ride a lot I try for 200 miles a week if I am feeling well more fi I feel great.

As usual, best ebike is the one you're riding.
I have converted regular bikes into ebikes, and we've kept the ones we like. I think they're fine, and have no wish to replace any of them with commercial store boughts.

I did a bit of searching today and my conclusion is that the ebike that I find most interesting is the Giant Momentus ebike line.
The reason is simple: it is a mid drive (supposedly better for hills, which is really when it matters) and it has an IGH hub in the rear. Price is not terrible either.
