How we research

Manufacturer pages only

Motor watts, torque, battery size, payload, weight, height range, tires, and class are copied from the brand's own spec list. Each product file cites the URL.

Blank means unpublished

If a spec is missing, or two official pages disagree, the table shows an em dash. We do not fill the gap with a guess or a review site.

No hands-on claims

The eBike Research team has not test-ridden the bikes in these guides. Copy says the work is researched from manufacturer specs and owner reports, including comments published on the brand's own site.
