How we rank

Every bike starts from the specs its manufacturer publishes. Bikes that can’t meet the answers above are removed, and the rest are scored on range against the trip, motor against the hills, weight, comfort, included kit, brakes, price and fit. The method is the same on every page and in the quiz. The full method.

No brand can pay to appear here or to move up. Some links may earn us a commission; the ranking code has no access to which ones.
