Ravi Kapoor
Ebike mechanic & daily commuter

Wrenches on and rides every electric bike on this site before ranking it.

Ravi Kapoor has spent years wrenching on electric bikes and commuting on them through every season. He has built, fixed and torn down enough motors, batteries and frames to know which brands hold up and which cut corners where you cannot see.

For every bike he reviews, he rides it on real roads and hills, checks the welds, the brakes and the battery, and measures real-world range rather than trusting the number on the box. He leads with value, because a smart $1,500 ebike often beats a flashy $3,000 one, and he calls out the cadence sensors, soft brakes and optimistic range claims that marketing glosses over. See exactly how we test.
