Best Electric Bike Reviews by Rating: Tower eBike Scores

All eBikes are rated on Tower's 100-point eBike scale.

Electric bike shopping can be overwhelming. With so many different brands, styles, and attributes to compare, finding an ebike that perfectly matches your needs can be difficult. That's where our electric bike reviews, and electric bike shopping guide come in handy. We're here to alleviate the stress of ebike shopping and help point customers in the right direction to find an electric bike that suits their lifestyle, whatever bike that may be.

Tower's eBike Repair Shop mechanics review electric bikes on the following 100-point scale:

All eBikes In Rank Order

eBikes of Highest Distinction

Electric bikes scoring between an 86 and 100 are designated as "eBikes of Highest Distinction". With "very good" eBikes rating in the 60 range, understand our structured scoring system sets a very high bar for this highest grouping. Very few bikes qualify for this class.

Outstanding Electric Bikes

eBikes scoring between 71 and 85 are awarded the Tower eBike status of "Outstanding eBike". While this is the 2nd tier in our classification, these electric bikes are what most consumers and manufacturers consider very premium quality bikes.

Very Good Electric Bikes

Electric bikes scoring between 56 and 70 on Tower's 100-point eBike scale are considered "Very Good eBikes". Understand the eBike market has an extremely wide range in terms of quality so we use the full breadth of our 100-point scale to rate eBikes effectively. For this reason, a score in the 60s is still considered a very good ebike. This isn't like high school letter grading where a 60% is a low D. A 60 on our scale is still a very good quality electric bike. If you get something in the rating range, you will still have a good electric bike but you are getting close to the distinction line of what separates quality e-bikes from the rest.

Mediocre Electric Bikes

eBikes scoring between 41 and 55 on Tower's 100-point electric bike rating scale and what we consider to be "Mediocre eBikes". While you might be able to pick these up for what seems like a good deal, usually with this classification of electric bikes there are some major tradeoffs on the quality, performance, and durability front.

eBikes Not Recommended

eBikes scoring between 0 and 40 on Tower's 100-point electric bike rating scale are what we consider to be "Not Recommended eBikes". Our rating system is a very structured rating system designed by eBike mechanics with decades of experience in the bike and eBike industry, so when in addition to getting a bike with a lot of questionable components and quality trade-offs, when you see a bike in this classification group you can expect to have a lot more regular maintenance issues to deal with it.
