This year’s event is at the vast and swanky Alexandra Palace – the original home of the BBC – and offers an outdoor test track where you can have a go on a choice from the huge range of bikes on show. If you can’t make it, don’t worry: the organisers have helped us round up seven of the best ebikes to see. There’s everything from the latest rides from the market-leading likes of Specialized, to up-and-coming challenger brands. And there is a very good choice of folding bikes in particular, so watch out, Brompton…
GoCycle G4 (2022 upgrade)

One of my favourite ebike brands, GoCycle manages to pull off designs that are self-consciously premium and ‘futuristic’, but without looking stupid or outlandish. They have a fresh update to the excellent G4, which is the slightly less plush cousin of theGoCycle G4i, which really is one of the best ebikes I’ve ever ridden.
The 2022 G4 replaces the old carbon fibre mid-frame with a new, injection-moulded one. GoCycle says this has the same performance benefits as the carbon but is produced using a more sustainable, automated process, which enables them to pass on a £200 saving to the consumer. Making the deal even more of a bargain, integrated mudguards and lights are now included as standard.

Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0

In contrast to Honbike, Specialized is an extremely well established brand. It’s displaying and demoing the latest range of Turbo-Active eBikes, including road, mountain and hybrid options. A stand out bike from this range is the Vado, with a ride quality, range, and power that is hard to beat. Plus impressively low weight too. Built-in front and rear lights help you see and be seen, while DRYTECH fenders keep water and road spray away. Features a fully integrated Specialized 710Wh downtube battery alongside a Specialized 2.0 250W nominal motor.

Riese und Müller Roadster

Riese und Müller continues to produce quality eBikes for everyone who loves cycling. This is especially true for the Roadster with its sporty lightness and linear design. The Roadster carries a 625Wh battery alongside a Bosch Performance Line CX motor and Shimano Deore XT 11 speed gearing to help on varied urban terrain. At 23.5kg the Roadster comes in lighter than many leisure eBikes on the market and with a sleek finish it’s definitely one worth a try at the London eBike Festival.

FLIT-16 Folding Ebike

FLIT will be bringing their compact folding bike to the show.I rode the FLIT-16back in 2020 and the bike, then barely past its prototype phase, seemed like a genuine Brompton Electric rival.
Weighing just 15kg the Flit-16 is easy to fold down and light to carry therefore making it easy to fit into your commute and manageable around the home too. The bike features a 220W rear hub motor paired with a 230WH battery capacity which gives you an average ride distance of up to 50km between charges. But a three hour charge time you can restore battery life while at your desk before riding home again in the evening.

Eovolt Morning 16-inch Folding Electric Bike

Yes, yet another folding ebike! Eovolt’s Morning is a compact, 4-speed commuter steed which, as the name suggests, runs on 16-inch wheels – the same as Brompton, surprise surprise. As ever, tiddly wheels means a responsive, zippy feel, and a nicely compact folded form. And, indeed, a nicely compactunfolded form. The LG Lithium 36V 6.4Ah battery lives in the seatpost but can be removed for charging, and the weight is just 14kg which, for a relatively cheap ebike such as this, is bloody light.
•Eovolt Morning 16-inch Folding Electric Bike, £1,700
