Best Used City Electric Bikes in 2025
Gazelle Medeo T10+
Gazelle’s e-Bikes are already exceptional, and the popular Medeo T10+ takes daily commuting to another level. The Dutch bike maker channels its expertise into a pedal-assist bike with graceful lines, plush comfort, and a scorching 28-mph top assist speed. Every Gazelle comes ready for city life with a sturdy rear rack, a built-in wheel lock, and integrated lighting. The Medeo T10+ ups the ante with Bosch’s speedy Performance Line Speed motor and a 500Wh battery tucked neatly into its slim frame. It barely looks electric— but the moment you ride it, you’ll know it is.

The Aventon Level.2 stands out as an easy pick for both everyday commuters and weekend riders.

Many riders overlook Orbea, yet this Basque icon is actually the oldest bike brand. The Diem 30 showcases that heritage with a distinctive, sculptural frame that immediately stands out, paired with thoughtful, city-friendly innovations.
