Best New E-Bike Models for 2025
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
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.

Canyon Pathlite:ON 5 SUV
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
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.
