The way e-Bikes and their increasingly advanced technology are headed, we’ll be riding to Mars on two wheels soon enough. Electric bikes continue to get lighter, more efficient, and user-friendly with plenty of fresh designs hitting the market. As the year comes to a close, let’s take a look at the best releases of 2024 and e-Bikes for cruising into 2025.

Best New E-Bike Models for 2025

The UpCenter (aka Upway’s headquarters) is home to a lot of bikes, and I mean a lot of bikes, from a variety of brands and model years. Our newest arrivals in stock are e-Bikes produced this year and include some brand-new models so you can ride the latest and greatest, all at a huge discount. We’ve got it all, whether you’re hunting for an affordable electric bike, a used electric bike, or a new e-Bike fresh off the line.;;;e.e


But what is the best electric bike for 2025?

Orbea Diem 30

Even at first glance, there’s just something classy about this hybrid e-Bike. There are actually many classy features to the Orbea Diem 30, including the unique frame design and fender-rack combination. A new model that has finally arrived after years of R&D by the engineers and designers over at Orbea, this commuter model is tailored for modern city life.

The Diem 30 even won the 2024 Red Dot Award for bicycle design— the committee commented that it’s, "an elegant e-Bike that impresses with its smart lighting system, which noticeably increases its active safety in traffic". That’s thanks to the integrated front light wrapped around the headset. The high-quality Shimano EP6 mid-drive motor and 540Wh battery round out the e-Bike’s package, ideal for any busy and stylish city-goer.

Rocky Mountain Fusion Powerplay 30

Keeping with the theme of new and exciting tech, you may have noticed the Fusion Powerplay 30’s wonky drivetrain. The Dyname 4.0 mountain bike drive is new in 2024 and only featured on this model, boasting a whopping 108 Nm of torque and a more effective chain line. It takes a second to get used to the new design and shape around the bottom bracket, but I think it works well. Not to mention that ultra-sleek downtube— how did they fit a 480Wh battery in there?

This versatile hardtail is a great option to start sending trails in 2025. It’s outfitted with 29x2.35” Maxxis Rekon tires for solid cross-country performance. One of the newest members to the Upway family, the Rocky Mountain Fusion Powerplay 30 makes a lasting impression.

Specialized Turbo Levo Alloy

If you’re planning to hit bigger and badder trails in 2025, the Specialized Turbo Levo Alloy is worth checking out. The Levo model range from Specialized is a popular one for good reason, and this alloy version delivers tons of value. The enduro RockShox full suspension setup is suited for steep and chunky terrain and the custom mid-drive motor boasts 90Nm to fly up the climbs. It’s a mullet wheel setup with a 29er in the front and 27.5” at the rear (my preference for all-mountain riding) and I love the blacked-out stealthy design. This was a hot e-MTB this year and will continue to be a high-performing trail-muncher in 2025.

Canyon Pathlite:ON 5 SUV

SUVs aren’t only for soccer moms and the Secret Service agents anymore. The Canyon Pathlite:ON 5 SUV is a comfortable e-Bike for everyday adventures. The step-thru version makes it easy to hop on and off for all types of riders. Burlier than your average city e-Bike, it’s also smoother with a premium Bosch mid-drive motor and 100mm suspension fork. Sporty and practical, it stays true to its SUV designation, which isn’t a balance that is easy to achieve. Bike paths, hills, light trails— the Pathlite:ON 5 is already put in gear.

Specialized Turbo Tero X 4.0

Just like Jack Sparrow, this one has a look that screams adventure. The “X” version of the Specialized Turbo Tero rocks a full suspension setup that’s well-prepared for backcountry expeditions and off-road journeys. The upright geometry means it’s comfortable on paved or flat stretches, while the plush suspension and grippy tires take care of the bumpy stuff. There’s a dropper post, rear rack, fenders, and extra mounting bolts to carry all your essentials. If you don’t know what’s in store for you in 2025, this rugged explorer is ready to take on whatever comes its way.

Top Brands to Watch in 2025

Bosch: The beating heart of so many e-Bikes, Bosch motors are slated to get even better in 2025. The brand has outlined new features for the smart system in 2025, including Range Control which lets riders select how full their eBike battery should be on arrival. There are also improvements to premium functions like current charge level and extended navigation.

Trek: The Wisconsin-based global brand is a leader in performance electric bikes and the wheels never stop turning at Trek’s Waterloo headquarters (and other HQs around the world). Trek has already announced new 2025 e-MTB models like the Rail+, Powerfly+, and Slash+, and we’ll see what else is coming down the pipeline soon.

Aventon: It’s been more than two years since Aventon updated some of their most popular models like the Level and Pace (they’ve been busy with other new releases like the Ramblas), so 2025 could be the year we see big updates to their flagship e-Bikes. It would be the third or fourth generation of those models as the brand continues to respond to user feedback and dream up new features.


Key Takeaways


Cutting-Edge Designs: E-bikes are lighter, more efficient, and feature-packed, with models like the Orbea Diem 30 winning design awards and introducing smart features.

Diverse Options for Every Rider: From trail-dominating e-MTBs like the Specialized Turbo Levo Alloy to versatile city hybrids like the Canyon Pathlite:ON 5 SUV, 2025’s lineup caters to a range of adventures.

Tech Advancements Ahead: Expect improved motors, extended range, and smart systems from brands like Bosch, Trek, and Aventon
