What’s the best cruiser electric bike (ebike) for me?
Choosing the best cruiser ebike for you depends on several factors, including your personal preferences, how you intend to use the bike, and budget. Here are key points to consider when selecting a electric cruiser bike:
- Upright Cruiser Frame: Promotes a relaxed riding position. This reduces strain on the rider's back and shoulders, making it easier to maintain good posture.
- Swept-Back Handlebars: Allow for a more natural hand position. This reduces wrist and arm fatigue, especially on longer rides.
- Cushioned Saddle: Provides additional comfort and support, minimizing discomfort during extended periods of sitting.
- Pedal Assist: Enhances your pedaling effort, making it easier to ride, especially up hills or over long distances. It's great for maintaining a steady speed with less physical exertion.
- Throttle: Allows the bike to propel itself without pedaling. This is useful for starting from a stop, cruising without effort, or giving your legs a break during a ride.
- Extended Range: A long battery range allows for longer rides without the worry of frequent recharging. With a good battery range, riders can confidently plan trips without concern about running out of power mid-journey. This is particularly beneficial for commuters or those who enjoy long leisure rides.
- Puncture Resistant Tires: Puncture resistant tires will protect you on the road while the reflective sidewalls provide more visibility in low light conditions.
- Integrated Lights With Turn Signals: Integrated front and rear lights allow you to see and be seen on the road. The turn signal functionality doubles as a safety feature by protecting you on the road and indicating your next move to those behind you.
- Price: Electric cruiser bikes can be an investment, so consider your budget.
- Reviews and Brand Reputation: Look for reviews from other ebikers and consider brands with a good reputation for quality and customer service.

Cargo
Discover the versatility of Aventon's cargo ebike, the perfect choice for your transportation needs.
What is an electric cargo bike?
A cargo electric bike is an ebike that’s designed to carry cargo! Whether it’s your precious cargo (hint: kiddos or grandkids), small cargo like groceries or packages, or larger, heavier, more spacious cargo. A cargo ebike, sometimes also referred to as a ‘family ebike’ or ‘utility ebike’, features an elongated frame with an oftentimes higher payload capacity than a traditional ebike specifically designed to withhold carrying all that a rider needs.
What are the benefits of choosing a cargo electric bike? And what features does the best electric cargo bike offer?
The benefits of owning a cargo ebike typically align with its top features. Cargo ebikes generally feature a large front or rear rack to hold heavier loads of cargo. Some models offer both a front and rear rack to transport goods. Offering an elongated rear rack is beneficial for a variety of reasons, and, cargo ebike typically have a wide selection of add-on accessories to tailor the bike for specific needs.
For example, riders can attach boxes to the rear frame to transport their items wherever they go. Or, seat pads and handrails can be purchased so parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, or other friends and family can transport children safely and securely. Not to mention, children’s bike seats can be added to the rear rack to securely strap children in, who otherwise would be unable to grip onto handrails, along for the ride!
Another key benefit of choosing an electric cargo bike is the electric component. Having an electric motor assist also allows riders to more easily transport heavier loads. If both pedal assist and throttle features are offered, riders can enjoy the assistance at various levels or simply enjoy the ride going full-throttle. Features that alert to being among the best electric cargo bikes when browsing for one are safety certifications such as UL for its electrical components, a healthy total payload capacity, and integrated features such as lights for lower visibility conditioned riding, among others.
What’s the difference between a family ebike and a utility ebike? What is the best family electric bike?
A cargo ebike can sometimes be considered a ‘family ebike’ or a ‘utility ebike’ in the sense of what it is used for. While the electric bike itself doesn’t change, the intent for using it does.
A family ebike is intended for use by families. For those wondering how this differs from any electric bike with a passenger seat, we’re here to explain. Some of a cargo ebikes’ prominent features (as opposed to just an electric bike with a passenger seat) for familial use may be a low step-through frame and intentionally designed additional rear seating for small children. Whether it is via a seat pad and handrails for children who are slightly older or the capacity to hold a bike seat for young children who need to be securely strapped in. A higher payload capacity also ensures that you and your passengers are within safe bounds of riding the cargo ebike.
A utility ebike is designed for carrying cargo or assisting in work-related tasks. Some of a cargo ebikes’ prominent features for utility use include a large cargo rack, the ability to attach a box or a basket to the cargo rack, or even a flatbed on the rear of the bike.
Cargo ebikes are equipped with a powerful motor and healthy range battery, so riding along with extra weight will require less physical exertion. Some cargo ebikes also arrive with a suspension fork to better support the weight of cargo and provide a more comfortable ride. Ultimately, there is not one best family electric bike on the market, but rather, which is the best family electric bike for your needs.
What are the legal requirements for a family ebike, an electric bike with a passenger seat, and cargo ebikes transporting children?
The age requirements for riding a cargo ebike can vary depending on the laws and regulations of the area you live in. If being utilized for utility, or leisure, with no intent to carry passengers who are minors, the federal minimum ebike riding age is 16. However, it is always strongly advised that you consult with your local regulations to confirm.
To determine the legal requirements for using a cargo ebike for transporting passengers, it is also strongly advised that you consult with both federal and local regulations for confirmation. It is always best to stay within the manufacturer's payload capacity recommendations for cargo capacity, therefore if the maximum rear rack capacity is 150 lbs as an example, equipment utilized to accommodate passengers and the passengers themselves should not exceed such limits. It’s also important to note that in the absence of federal or local regulations, it is best to proceed with extreme caution when transporting passengers on a cargo ebike. For example, if a child, or passenger, does not have the physical strength or coordination needed to hold onto specialized equipment (i.e. add-on handrails), it may not be safe for them to rise as a passenger.

Step Through
Experience easy electric biking on Aventon's step-through ebikes. Redefine your cycling with accessible mounting, suiting even those with mobility challenges.
What is a step through bike?
Unlike traditional step over bikes, where riders are required to lift their leg up and over the saddle in order to get on their bike, the step through frame makes it easier with less physical effort. A step through frame either has a lowered crossbar, or no crossbar at all, so all the rider has to do is simply slip their leg through the open part of the frame to saddle up with ease.
What are the benefits of step through bicycles?
A step through frame is perfect for all rider types. It can also make it easier for people with physical limitations and provide them access to the mobility they may otherwise not have been able to receive with a similar means of transportation. A step through ebike with pedal assist and throttle functionalities can also offer riders of all ages the opportunity to feel the joys and youthfulness of riding a bicycle all over again. Ebikes tend to be heavier than standard bicycles because of the motor and other electrical components, so a step thru bike can also offer riders more control and stability getting on and off the bike.
For example, when Jen Cuevas (featured on our Beyond The Bike series) was diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension, she thought she’d never be able to ride again. But with an Aventon step thru bicycle and the benefits of e-mobility, she found her freedom once again.

What’s the best commuter electric bike (ebike) for me?
Choosing the best commuter ebike for you depends on several factors such as:
- Commuting Distance: Choose an ebike with a battery range that comfortably covers your round-trip distance. A range of at least 45 miles is good, and up to 60 miles is even better, ensuring that you can complete your round-trip without the need for mid-day charging. More range means less frequent charging, which is convenient for longer commutes.

A motor with sustained output of at least 500W should provide sufficient power for most commuting challenges, ensuring a balance between performance and efficiency. For flat, urban roads, an ebike with a 350W motor will often suffice, providing enough power for a smooth ride without excess. This also allows for a lighter ebike, which is easier to handle and transport.

An ebike with built-in racks or the ability to add them can significantly enhance your daily travel experience, especially if you often carry items like a laptop, gym gear, or groceries. These racks provide a secure and stable place to store your belongings, freeing you from the discomfort and potential safety hazard of carrying a heavy backpack or bag. The Aventon Level comes with a built-in rack, enhancing your commuting convenience by effortlessly accommodating your storage needs, from laptops to groceries. Additionally, the Aventon Soltera offers the flexibility to add a rack, allowing you to customize your storage solutions for a comfortable and practical commuting experience.
