What's the most popular e-bike the world?
It's a great question, and not one with a straightforward answer. To pick the “most popular” e-bikes globally, we used review volume as a proxy for unit sales.

What the numbers tell us
Budget still rules the roost – Seven of the eight bikes land below the $1 000 mark, confirming that price sensitivity drives review volume.
500–750 W is the sweet spot – Models that bump against U.S. Class-2/3 limits generate the most buzz; truly high-power options rarely hit big review counts.
“Ready-to-ride” packages convert – Bikes that ship with fenders, lights, or baskets reduce accessory hunting and shorten the path from checkout to first ride.
Mod culture fuels word-of-mouth – Ancheer controller hacks and Lectric XP accessory threads keep owners engaged and reviews flowing.
