E-Bikes have become incredibly popular for their ability to whisk us farther and easier than traditional bikes alone. They also come in so many shapes and sizes, some of them resembling motorcycles or scooters.

But until now, they’ve all suffered the same drawback – they’re chunky and heavy.

Now we’re seeing eBikes starting to slim down and become nearly indistinguishable from their manual counterparts.

  1. 10 Grand for a e-bike? Even from German made that is pretty steep.
