Sure, you could ride a standard bike to the office or to a picnic in the park to meet your friends. But an e-bike makes commuting much easier, especially on days when you don’t want to give your full effort while you’re just trying to get where you’re going. With their built-in pedal assistance, these motorized bikes can help you get from point A to point B without having to give your all. Not to mention, some models have a cargo rack on the back of the bike to make it an even better option for city-dwellers and those who want to use their bike to do errands, make a quick grocery run, or drop off cookies at a loved one’s pad this holiday season.

But some e-bikes go for thousands upon thousands upon thousands of dollars. That’s why we sifted through our editors’ favorite electric bikes, from foldable models to fat tire options to bikes that were pretty affordable to begin with, to find you the best e-bikes that are on sale in the run-up to Black Friday. Score one for yourself for up to 33 percent off.

Sinch.2 Ebike

Aventon’s Sinch is an editor-favorite fat tire e-bike, and earlier this year, the brand released the newest iteration: the Sinch.2. Right now, you can score this model for $500 off. And as if that deal alone wasn’t enough, you can also secure a phone holder, tail light, and a handlebar mirror (all of which would run you about $100) for free with your purchase.

Along with all of that, this electric bike allows you to fold it up, like its predecessor, but it also has two colors you can choose from, a rear cargo rack and lights in the back (which can also be used for your turn signals) as well as the front, and a torque sensor, among other new elements.

Cafe Cruiser

Grab this top-rated e-bike for 25 percent off right now when you opt for the step-over option or for nearly 20 percent off with the step-through frame.

Dubbed the best cruiser e-bike in our guide to the best electric bikes, Deputy Editor Tara Seplavy called out its integrated rack, as well as its suspension fork and style as highlights. This bike also has a 750-watt hub motor and can reach just under 30 mph when utilizing pedal assist.

Abound E-Bike

Rated the best new e-cargo bike in our list of best folding e-bikes, Aventon's Abound features a 750-watt rear hub motor and can reach speeds of up to 2o mph.

Seplavy liked this bike in part for its 440-pound weight capacity. This feature allows riders to easily haul their weekly groceries home, among lots of other uses. Plus, it comes in two colors, has the option to use turn signals, and is currently on sale for $600 off.

Ultra Fat Tire E-Bike

Right now, you can score this editor-approved fat tire e-bike for $400 off. It has 4-inch tires, hydraulic disc brakes, and a 750-watt hub motor that peaks at 600 watts higher.

One of the most interesting aspects about this bike, though, is its dual-battery feature, which offers 1,344 Wh of power and gives riders as much as 80 miles of range at a time.

Turbo Vado 4.0 Step-Through

Available in three colorways and four sizes, this editor-recommended e-bike will save you about $750 when you buy it on Specialized’s site right now.

Ranked as one of the best e-bikes, the Turbo Vado 4.0 stands out partly because of how thoughtfully designed it is. “From the motor to the interface to the aesthetic design to the parts selection to the ride quality, the details on the Turbo Vado 4.0 have all been thoroughly thought through to perform as a seamless package,” Seplavy wrote about this model in our best electric bikes guide. This bike features a 250-watt motor with a torque of 70 Nm and can reach speeds as fast as 28 mph.

Pace 500.2

We love the Aventon Pace 350 for its value and think it’s a perfect balance between price and performance — it’s one of the cheapest complete e-bikes money can buy.

The 500.2, however, slightly amps up its range and speed, with the option to unlock 28-mph pedal assist and a 48-volt system with a 500-watt motor to get you anywhere in a jiffy. Right now, you can get it for 31 percent off.

RadRover 6 Plus

You can currently score our pick for the best fat tire electric bike for $700 off for the high-step model and $300 off for the step-thru option. When recommending it, our editors pointed out how approachable this bike is with a car analogy: “Think of the RadRover as the Ford Model T of fat tire e-bikes: cheap, reliable, and for everyone,” our editors wrote. And now that it's 33 percent off, this 750-watt hub motor-powered e-bike is perhaps even more approachable.

Discover 1

Ahead of Black Friday, you can get both the high-step and step-thru models of this e-bike on sale for TK percent off on Veloctric’s site, and you can choose from six colors for the high-step and four colors for the step-thru.

This UL 2849-certified bike has a 500-watt motor, can go for as long as 65 miles when utilizing pedal assist, and can be unlocked to achieve speeds as high as 25 mph.

Sinch Foldable Ebike

An editor-favorite fat tire e-bike, this model has a lot of things going for it, including the amazing deal attached to it right now. It’s not only $200 less than usual, but you can also get it with a $45-worth fender set and a $50-worth rear rack for free.

Along with that, this electric bike can fold to save space, accommodate up to 300 pounds, and has five varying pedal assist levels that can reach all the way to 20 mph.

Ero 500

Part of what drew us to this e-bike is how timeless its design is. Outfitted in black with taupe accents, this e-bike is currently 33 percent off on Linus' website. This bike comes with quite a few features we like, including a hub motor packing 500 watts, a rear bike rack and mount, as well as lights on the front and back for greater visibility. It also has a Samsung 48-volt battery and comes in medium and large sizes.

XP 2.0 Black

Electric bikes can be quite expensive, and we liked this Lectric option because it's under $1,000. Well, this remains true, especially given that you can score this e-bike for well under $900 right now.

We also appreciate that this bike doesn't take up as much space in the garage or the basement since it can be folded. Plus, this model can act as a Class 2 or 3 e-bike, with its throttle ranging up to 20 miles and pedal assist reaching up to 45 miles on a given charge.

CTY e2.1 Electric Bike

When we named this model one of the best electric bikes, we were impressed by how many Shimano features it housed for its price. Given its current 20 percent discount, this remains true. Apart from being decked out in Shimano, from the 250W mid-drive motor down to the brake system, it is also available in small and medium sizes, has a cargo rack attached to the back, a kickstand, and lights on both ends of the bike.
