The two major things to consider when looking for an electric bike is what you'll use it for, and how much you want to spend. E-bikes generally fall into one of six categories: commuter, road, mountain, cargo, cruiser, and folding bikes. Each has its pros and cons, so have a chat with your local retailer about how you want to use your new bicycle. In terms of price, it can vary with both the bicycle components, including frame and tires, as well as electronics. Similar to most things, you'll get what you pay for with electric bikes.
