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.
