Commuting to work this fall just got easier. These bikes are designed to provide fast acceleration, multi-terrain options for gravel or pavement, and a lightweight design. They are as innovative as any bikes you might find. Then, once you arrive at work you can keep on innovating.
1. Trek Domane SL 6
This serious adventure and racing bike is so light you can lift it with one hand. It’s carbon frame provides another advantage: The lightweight design means you can accelerate quickly and spend less effort once you are up to top speed. Also has a handy storage compartment in the frame.
2. Gocycle GX
This fold-up electric bike is extremely innovative, starting with the app you can use to control all of the features and adjust settings for power-savings versus assisted pedaling. One major perk is that once you’re at the optimal speed you can push even faster using your own power.
3. Canyon Endurance
What I liked best about this high-end bike for long-distance adventures is that the riding position is more streamlined for long rides. The bike accelerates quickly and glides so easily you don’t have to work as hard (even on the hills).
4. Charge Bikes Comfort
This electric bike was made for extreme comfort and lasts about 50 miles on a charge. The pedals and handlebars fold up for easier transport. You can use the pedal assist throttle to accelerate up to 20 miles per hour for an even easier morning commute.
5. Lectric XP
A “step thru” electric bike that also folds for easier transport, the Lectric XP is a smart buy. It’s a bit cheaper than some foldable electrics and has rugged tires for those who need to commute on gravel or other terrain. The charge lasts up to about 50 miles.
