1. Heybike Ranger: best overall
The Heybike Ranger at $699.99 (as of Nov 7, 4:10 PM EST, subject to change) is the most complete answer to the 750 W question we can rank. Heybike rates its rear hub at 750 W (1400 W peak, 80 Nm), and the bike lets you choose its class from the LCD: it ships as Class 2 (20 mph throttle and pedal assist), and one tap gives you Class 3 (pedal assist to 28 mph, throttle still held to 20) or Class 1 (pedal assist only). Every one of those settings fits a US class, and the Class 2 setting covers the seven jurisdictions that do not recognize Class 3. The Amazon page lists UL 2849 for the system and UL 2271 for the battery, and the bike stops on hydraulic disc brakes with 180 mm rotors.
It is also a folding step-through on 20 x 4 Kenda fat tires that folds to 40 x 20 x 31 inches, with a 400 lb total payload and a 150 lb rear rack, and Heybike sizes it for riders from 4 ft 11 in to 6 ft 3 in. The trades are battery and weight: 600 Wh (48 V x 12.5 Ah) is good for 25 to 35 miles at mid assist by its review's estimate, and 70 lb is heavy for a folder. It uses a cadence sensor, and the listing names no testing lab for its UL claims. Read the full Heybike Ranger review.
2. Heybike Cityscape 2.0: best under $500
The Heybike Cityscape 2.0 ($499 as of Nov 7, 4:10 PM EST, subject to change) was the cheapest pick at our November 2026 check, and it gives up nothing on the legal side. Heybike rates the motor at 750 W continuous (1200 W peak, 75 Nm), and the bike is Class 3: pedal assist to 28 mph with the throttle capped at 20 mph, switchable to Class 2 or Class 1 from the display. It documents UL 2849 for the bike system and UL 2271 for the battery, and the listing carried over 600 ratings at a 4.2-star average when its review checked in August 2026.
It is the least equipped of the 28 mph picks: mechanical disc brakes with 180 mm rotors, where the Ranger, ACE01, EB5 MAX, Roamer ST and Hunter 2.0S have hydraulics, and the smallest battery here, 36 V x 13 Ah (468 Wh), which works out at roughly 23 to 31 miles of mixed riding against a 50-mile claim. It is a 26-inch step-through with a 60 mm fork and a 7-speed Shimano Tourney drivetrain, and it weighs 62 lb with a 330 lb payload. Read the full Heybike Cityscape 2.0 review.
3. TST City Commuter: best seller, with one setting to check
The TST City Commuter at $529.99 (as of Nov 7, 4:11 PM EST, subject to change) is #1 in Amazon's Electric Bicycles (November 2026), and it belongs on this page because it does what most budget listings skip: TST states a 750 W rated motor beside the peak figure (1500 W on the listing we first reviewed, 2000 W in the current title). Around that sit a 48 V x 15 Ah (720 Wh) removable battery, suspension front and rear on 20 x 4 fat tires, 7-speed gearing, a stated 66 lb weight and a 450 lb maximum load.
Here is the legal catch, plainly. The listing title now advertises 28 mph, the bike has a throttle, and the listing never says the throttle stops at 20 mph. A throttle that works above 20 mph fits no US e-bike class, so ride it at the 20 mph setting, where it is a Class 2: check the display settings on arrival and confirm the cap. The listing also names no UL 2849 or UL 2271 certification, which rules it out for buyers in New York City under Local Law 39 and in California under SB 1271, and for buildings that ask for the certificate before indoor charging. It discloses no torque figure, and the brakes are mechanical discs. Plan on 30 to 40 miles of mixed riding against the 60-mile claim. Read the full TST City Commuter review.
4. Vivi ACE07: best Class 2
The Vivi ACE07 at $703.61 (as of Nov 7, 4:11 PM EST, subject to change) is the pick for a rider who wants the full 750 W and a class that works everywhere. Vivi rates the hub at 750 W (1500 W peak) and caps the bike at 19.8 mph as a Class 2, so it fits the e-bike definition in all 50 states, including the seven jurisdictions that do not recognize Class 3. Its Amazon title carries UL 2849 with SGS named as the certifying body; the two Vivis are the only picks with a lab named. The 26 x 4.0 fat tires and step-through frame come with a rear rack, fenders and lights, and Vivi publishes 80 Nm on the listing we first reviewed and 90 Nm on the current one.
The trades are weight and brakes. It weighs 75 lb, so moving it without the motor is a workout. Its 180 mm disc brakes were hydraulic on the version Amazon listed in May 2026, a listing since replaced, and Vivi has shipped mechanical versions too, so check the current listing if hydraulics matter. It uses a cadence sensor, Vivi covers the motor and battery for one year, and its review plans on 30 to 40 miles of fat-tire commuting from the 720 Wh pack against a 40 to 55 mile claim. Read the full Vivi ACE07 review.
5. Vivi ACE01: best for hills
The Vivi ACE01 at $789.99 (as of Nov 7, 4:11 PM EST, subject to change) has the strongest climbing specification of the picks. Vivi rates the motor at 750 W (1500 W peak) with 90 Nm, the highest torque figure of the eight picks, and pairs it with a torque sensor, which reads how hard you press the pedals and scales the motor to match. The Ranger, ACE07, EB5 MAX, Roamer ST and Hunter 2.0S use cadence sensors, which switch power on when the cranks turn. Hydraulic disc brakes with 180 mm rotors handle the descent, a 100 mm lockout fork sits up front, and Vivi states UL 2849 and UL 2271, tested by SGS.
It is a Class 3 bike at a lower speed than most: pedal assist to 25 mph with a half-twist throttle capped at 20 mph. The ACE01 went off sale on Amazon in October and came back in November under new listings whose copy no longer states the 25 mph figure, so the class rests on Vivi's own specification, and the colors are priced differently. It weighs 72 lb, Vivi publishes no payload rating, the warranty is one year on motor and battery, and the 60-mile range claim works out at 25 to 35 miles of mixed riding from 720 Wh. Read the full Vivi ACE01 review.
6. Jasion EB5 MAX: best fat tire at 28 mph
The Jasion EB5 MAX at $579.99 (as of Nov 7, 4:10 PM EST, subject to change) puts a 750 W rated motor (1500 W peak, 85 Nm) on 26 x 4 fat tires, with hydraulic disc brakes on 180 mm rotors front and rear, a 48 V x 15 Ah (720 Wh) battery, cruise control, fenders, a rear rack and lights. Its review treats the 28 mph in the title as the Class 3 ceiling, with no throttle assistance above 20 mph.
The title says "28+MPH", which on its own reads as a floor, so confirm both limits with the seller before relying on Class 3 status. None of its Amazon listings names a UL standard, which is why it ranks below the two Vivis. It weighs 78 lb with a 330 lb payload, uses a cadence sensor, and Jasion covers the motor and battery for one year and the frame for six months. Plan on 30 to 40 miles of mixed riding and about 22 held at 28 mph. Read the full Jasion EB5 MAX review.
7. Jasion Roamer ST: lightest pick
The Jasion Roamer ST at $594 (as of Nov 7, 4:10 PM EST, subject to change) is the lightest bike on this list at 60 lb: a 26-inch Class 3 step-through with a 750 W rated motor (1200 W peak, 75 Nm), hydraulic disc brakes on 180 mm rotors, and "UL2849 Certified" in its Amazon title, a claim the EB5 MAX listings do not make. A front fork, a 7-speed Shimano drivetrain, lights, a rack, fenders and cruise control are standard, with a 330 lb payload.
Two things keep it below the EB5 MAX. Its review says only that a Class 3 throttle is typically limited to 20 mph, so confirm this one stops there before you count on Class 3, and the listing names no testing lab. The battery is 36 V x 14.6 Ah (528 Wh), which its review puts at 28 to 38 miles mixed and about 22 held at 28 mph, against Jasion's 40 to 62 mile claim. Jasion covers the motor and battery for one year, and the bike uses a cadence sensor. Read the full Jasion Roamer ST review.
8. Kingbull Hunter 2.0S: biggest battery
The Kingbull Hunter 2.0S at $949 (as of Nov 7, 4:10 PM EST, subject to change) carries the biggest battery of the picks, 48 V x 18 Ah (864 Wh), behind a 750 W rated motor (1300 W peak, 85 Nm). It is Class 3 at 28 mph per its Amazon title, stops on two-piston hydraulic disc brakes on 180 mm rotors, and rides CST 26 x 4.0 knobby tires on a 100 mm spring fork. Kingbull states a 400 lb payload, an IPX6 rating and a two-year warranty on motor, battery and frame, handled by a service team in California, and Amazon shows APEFOX as the seller of record.
It ranks last on the three checks, and its hardware is among the best here. Its review does not mention a throttle, so if yours has one, confirm it stops at 20 mph. Kingbull claims no UL 2849 on the listing or its own spec page, and the Hunter sells far less on Amazon than any pick above it. Kingbull claims 80 miles; its review's planning estimate is 33 to 43 miles of mixed riding and about 26 held at 28 mph. It weighs 77 lb and uses a cadence sensor.
