The Redtail Electric Bike Guide

How to buy an electric bike

A plain-English guide to motors, batteries, classes and categories — so you buy the right e-bike the first time.

An electric bike is a regular bicycle with a motor and battery that assist your pedaling — letting you go farther, climb hills and arrive un-sweaty, while still getting exercise. The U.S. market has exploded, and the choice can feel overwhelming. It doesn't have to be: almost every buying decision comes down to three questions — how you'll ride, how far, and how much power you want.

Start with the category

How and where you ride matters more than any spec. Commuter bikes are the all-rounders; fat-tire models handle sand, snow and trail; cargo bikes haul kids and groceries; folding bikes fit small spaces; and trikes add stability. Browse them all on our shop-by-type page.

Motor & classes

Power is rated in watts (typically 500W–1000W+); more watts means stronger hills and acceleration. U.S. e-bikes fall into three classes: Class 1 (pedal-assist to 20 mph), Class 2 (adds a throttle), and Class 3 (assist to 28 mph). Class 2 and 3 cover most of what we sell and are street-legal in most states.

Battery & range

Range depends on battery size (watt-hours), terrain, rider weight and assist level. Most models deliver 25–60+ miles per charge; dual-battery bikes go further. If range anxiety is your worry, shop the long-range brands on our shop-by-brand page.

Brand or budget?

Once you know the category, the brand sets the personality — design, range, warranty and support. Every brand we carry ships from the U.S. in USD with spec-checked product pages. When you're ready, see all our electric bikes in one grid and filter to your budget.

Electric bike FAQs

How much does a good electric bike cost?

Most quality electric bikes run between $900 and $2,500. Commuter and folding models sit at the lower end; long-range, dual-battery, cargo and trike models cost more. Every model at Redtail is priced in USD — browse all bikes and filter to your budget.

How far can an electric bike go on one charge?

Typical range is 25–60+ miles per charge, depending on battery size, terrain, rider weight and how much pedal assist you use. Dual-battery and long-range models from brands like Eahora and Himiway can go significantly farther.

What type of electric bike should I get?

Start with how you ride: commuters for daily city use, fat-tire for off-road, cargo for hauling, folding for small spaces, trikes for stability. See our shop-by-type guide for the full breakdown.

Are electric bikes street legal in the US?

Yes. Class 1, 2 and 3 e-bikes are legal in most U.S. states and don't require a license, registration or insurance. Local rules vary by state and trail, so check your local regulations for Class 3 (28 mph) models.
