The gift of two wheels is enough to make anyone’s Christmas one to remember. Giving a dream e-Bike to your special cyclist can be an even more remarkable present, the marshmallow on top of that mug of hot cocoa, if you will. But what's the best electric bike to sneak under the tree?
Now, let’s be honest— there are a million cyclist gift guides out there with refreshed recommendations every year. I don’t pretend to be Santa— the omniscient gift giver— who knows the perfect present for everyone (although I am pretty good), but the recommended e-Bikes below are excellent.
In this guide, I’ve picked out unique models spanning cargo, folding, gravel, hybrid, and MTB categories. Explore Upway’s huge stock of brand-new and certified pre-owned electric bikes for a more comprehensive catalog! From women electric bike to long-range e-Bikes, there are top models from your favorite brands.

Best Electric Bikes to Gift This Christmas
Specialized Turbo Como
I first learned about this fantastic hybrid e-Bike because my mom purchased it as her first electric bike. She wanted a more comfortable bike with smooth assist that would motivate her to ride more often, and the Turbo Como did just that. The step-thru frame makes it easy to mount and dismount, especially for riders who don’t want to be swinging their leg over the bike (my mom had knee surgery). Apart from my personal connection to this bike, it’s definitely an elegant yet robust hybrid for all kinds of riders.
🎁 Why it makes Santa’s list: Comfortable and confidence-inspiring geometry and smooth assist
Yuba Mundo
🎁 Why it makes Santa’s list: Top-tier cargo bike with Shimano EP8 motor and customizability
Niner Rip e9
🎁 Why it makes Santa’s list: Long-travel suspension for demanding descents all across the mountain

Diamondback Current
🎁 Why it makes Santa’s list: Gravel e-Bike that’s an excellent value and an even better adventure
Tern Vektron D7i
Folding e-Bikes are (sometimes) my pet peeve. But the Tern Vektron D7i strikes the right chord instead of striking a nerve. Tern is known for their high-quality foldable bikes and this lightweight model collapses down into a small footprint that’s super practical. If the cyclist in your life is considering commuting by bike (New Year’s resolution anyone?) this folding electric bike is a convincing choice, especially for riders short on space.
🎁 Why it makes Santa’s list: Well-designed folding mechanism and city-ready features
