The best electric bikes for seniors

This low-step design makes the Cannondale Adventure Neo easy to get on and off, with no top tube to have to hoik your leg over. The Bosch Active Line Plus motor provides plenty of grunt to help you up hills and on the flats, while a sizeable 400Wh battery is ample to get you around town with up to 120km of range. Large Kenda tyres offer plenty of grip and enough tyre wall for a slightly more comfortable ride.

While not a step-through frame, the dropped top tube offers an easier off-and-on than most bikes. This dropped top tube also brings the handlebars closer to the rider, bringing about a more upright riding position and more comfort. Front suspension adds to that comfort with the plush tyres. However, the Haibike Trekking 3 has a 500Wh battery if you want range. The motor is a super robust Bosch Performance Line Gen3, giving you up to 75Nm of torque, plenty if you carry any luggage or any hills.

Looking more like a convention town bike, Cube has loaded this with accessories to make riding it that much more pleasant. Things like Mudguards, rear pannier racks front and rear lights and a kickstand. All of which will be very welcome as you ride along.
Front suspension and plush tyres add comfort, but the motor and battery pack are party pieces. A Bosch Drive Unit Performance CX Generation 4 with 85Nm of torque and a 625Wh Bosch PowerTube battery it's needed, though, because you'll only get around 54km of range, depending on which mode you're in. But this should be plenty for any jaunt in the countryside.

This is slightly more off-road focused with its knobbly Schwalbe tyres and 'mountain bike' name. It's only by name, though, as this is one super capable bike at home on the woodland trails flattening out tree roots with its front suspension as it is on the daily commute or weekly shopping trip into town.
Focus has fitted this with the same Bosch Performance CX Gen4 motor and 625Wh battery as the Cube above and is claimed to be a kilo lighter.

What makes this bike so expensive? Well, the battery on this Riese and Muller Superdelight GT Vario is unrivalled. Not one but two Bosch PowerTube batteries, now 500Wh and one 625Wh, add a super punchy Bosch Performance Line CX with 85 Nm of torque. You even have an anti-lock braking system developed by Bosch and enough suspension to make everything nice and comfy as you ride.
If you want a bike stuffed with accessories, a range that will have you cycling for days and hill-crushing performance with a mega-powerful motor, you'll have to pay big money for it.
