Updates in tech in e-bikes, plus new bells and whistles like GPS antitheft systems, means many new models may include everything a commuter might need in order to replace their cars

Overall, e-bike sales more than tripled between 2019 and 2021. And while sales of conventional bikes have fallen significantly in 2022 as pandemic-fueled demand wanes, sales of electric bikes remain relatively strong. The changes in the underlying tech in e-bikes, plus addition of bells and whistles like GPS antitheft systems, have given rise to a huge variety of designs, with many manufacturers investing heavily and focusing on creating e-bikes that include everything a commuter might need in order to replace a car.

“E-bikes to me are the indicator species of a healthy transportation system,” says Rachel Hultin, director of sustainable transportation at bicycle advocacy group Bicycle Colorado.
