Consider motor power
Motor power is measured in watts (W) and range from 250W to 750W. E-bikes with higher watts offers better acceleration, climbing and hauling performance.

Consider battery capacity
A higher watt hours (Wh) number indicates greater battery capacity, which gives you more riding time between charges.
