Mom Models: Recommended E-Bikes for Mother’s Day 2025
Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0 Step-Through
The step-thru frame and user-friendly controls make it a super accessible electric bike that’s easy to hop on and off. My mom makes especially good use of the included rear rack and ample room for accessories around the frame and ergonomic handlebars. I’ve taken my fair share of spins around on this model, and the custom-built Specialized motor provides buttery-smooth assistance. Sleek and comfortable, the Turbo Vado is a winner for my mom, and probably yours, too.
Liv Rove E+
The Rove E+ is made by the Liv brand, specializing in electric bikes for women with unique geometry and features better suited to female riders. It’s powered by a powerful SyncDrive mid-drive motor with pedal assistance up to 20 mph and a 500 Wh battery pack with Giant’s EnergyPak Technology. Other great picks this Mother’s Day include the Liv Amiti E+ or the Liv Tempt E+ for a bit more mountain biking performance.
Tern GSD S10 LX
This fully-loaded model reminds me of a more premium version of the mamachari electric bikes I saw on my recent visit to Japan, witnessing the strong culture of moms and grandmas using low-riding e-Bikes to carry kids and hop to the store. There’s even a suspension seatpost and a foldable steerer tube for added functionality and comfort. Two small kids can sit on the rear platform when tricked out with seat pads, and I think Tern even says there’s room for up to three passengers. Swap out the minivan for this zippy cargo electric bike this Mother’s Day!

Gazelle Medeo T9/T10
Gazelle makes some of the very best hybrid electric bikes out there, powered by its century-long Dutch heritage and expertise on two wheels. In my books, the Medeo T9 and T10 models are the Platonic ideals of city e-Bikes— elegant, efficient, functional, and lightweight. There’s an integrated rear wheel lock on every model, and the Medeo’s battery placement under the rear rack frees up the frame design to be just as slim and stylish as standard bikes.
Momentum Vida E+
Currently on super-sale at Upway, the Momentum Vida E+ may be the hottest deal for Mother’s Day this year. I especially love the characteristic swoop in the top tube of the frame and the internal hub gearing that reduces required maintenance. The Vida E+ is the right bike for city commuters, and its relaxed frame makes it accessible to a wide range of rider heights, inspiring confidence for riders of all levels. This recreational model has a SyncDrive Life mid-drive motor that assists up to 20 mph.
