What is the Longest Range E-Bike in 2024?
The FUELL Flluid-2 is by far and away the longest range electric bike on sale today. With a stated range of 225 miles, it’s almost 40% more than it next competitor.
This is tempered by the fact that the Flluid-2 (at the time of writing) hasn’t been manufactured. That said the Indiegogo campaign has attracted over $1.3 million and the brand has already released a range of very-long-range electric bikes.
No matter how far, or how frequently you ride, buying a long-range electric bike can be a good idea. It’ll mean less frequent trips to the charging point and more time riding.
With our knowledge of e-bikes, we’ve scoured the internet to find you the longest-range electric bikes, beginning with a list of the top 10 long-range e-bikes with a range of 100 miles or more.
Please be aware that the longest range electric bikes can be rather expensive (we’re talking over $4,000/£3,000). However, the Engwe M20 and X24 have also made this list despite being under £/$2,000, while we’ve also included three cheaper models will provide you with over 60 miles of range for under $2,000 (£2,000).

Riese and Muller make arguably the best (and most expensive) electric bikes in the world. Any Riese and Muller model with the moniker ‘Super’ has two batteries neatly secreted within the frame.
For this list, we chose the Delite or Superdelite, a bike that’s highly versatile, even more so than the Merida we listed above. Depending on which model you choose, you could ride a bike with bells and whistles or many bells and whistles!
Pros

Raleigh is a historic brand in cycling and they now produce a range of good-value electric bikes.
Good value in the sense that they feature top-end Bosch e-bike systems, but for reasonable prices. The Centros has a 625Wh battery giving it a maximum range of 130 miles. It would be a great electric hybrid bike for almost all riders.
Pros
- Good value for money

- Capacity: 200kg / 440lbs
E-cargo bike with great range
Two batteries
Excellent carrying potential
There aren’t many electric cargo bikes that are sold with two batteries, but the Tern GSD R14 is one of them. Two 500Wh batteries combine to give the R14 a range of over 100 miles.
Tern’s GSD range has long been heralded as the best longtail e-cargo bike money can buy and the R14 is the best of them all. It features fancy Rohloff hub gears that shift automatically and low-maintenace blet drive.
Pros
- The best longtail e-cargo bike
- No-fuss gearing
- Excellent carrying potential
Cons
- Expensive before adding accessories
- Using it for its purpose will drastically reduce range
6. A Specialized Turbo Como
-
£4,300
-
$4,250
-
€3,300
Prices are approximate
- Range: 123 miles / 198km

Powerful e-bike
710Wh battery
Big brand performance from Specialized
Available on certain Turbo Como models is a 710Wh battery. This extra large capacity gives an excellent riding range on a powerful bike, primarily designed for riding in town on tarmac.
Specialized use their own motors, batteries and displays in their e-bikes so they are well placed to understand their range. That said, the Turbo range calculator and the Specialized website did yield some strange results – some of which differed wildly from the range stated by Specialized on each model.
Pros
- Powerful
- Various builds/colours/sizes available
Cons
- Expensive
- Range isn’t cut and dried

Pros
- Powerful
- Two frame types are available

For the longest range, you’ll need to buy the Verve+ 3 or higher with the late capacity 725Wh battery.
Pros
- Features the newest Bosch motor
- Step-through and standard frame types are available
Cons
- No hub gear models with a large range
- Some models have limited colours

- Bike Weight: 53kg (119lbs)
- Capacity: 124kg (275lbs)
Moto-inspired e-bike
2 batteries
Standout looks{
Juiced bikes make various e-bikes – all of which are visually appealing. Whilst this isn’t an e-bike for the all-out cycling enthusiast, it is a standout machine for those looking for something completely different.
Buying the two-battery option gives this e-bike a range of 100 miles plus. It has both throttle and pedal assist modes so you can choose to pedal or sit back and let the bike take the strain.
Whilst it won’t ride as fast as an electric gravel bike off-road it could be more capable on some rougher or muddier terrain.
Pros
- Unique styling
- Huge range for an e-bike
- Throttle
- Passenger-seat ready
Cons
- Extremely heavy
- Potentially gimmicky
10. WAU X PLUS

- Type: Hybrid Bike
- Motor: 250W
- Battery: 900Wh
- Bike Weight: 29kg (63lbs)
- Capacity: Not Stated
Hybrid e-bike
900Wh Samsung battery
Standout looks
WAU make a range of low-priced electric bike and their X Plus is designed to have an excellent range. WAU state that this should be around 100 miles and when you consider the current selling price its fantastic.
Other than the long-range (and light up logo) there isn’t too much else to get excited about. That said, the X Plus would be a solid option for an everyday runabout and you shouldn’t find yourself charging it much!
Pros
- Unique styling
- Excellent range for the price
- Innovative battery storage and side lights
Cons
- No mudguards as standard
- Hub-motor won’t be for everyone

While it is technically a “folding bike”, it is also a very heavy bike, so you’ll only want to fold this bike up occassionally (such as putting it in a car when you go travelling), rather than regularly folding and unfolding it during commutes.
Fat tires make riding smooth, but the triple suspension means you effectively feel nothing. There’s even a rear seat in case you want to bring a friend along for the ride.

- Extremely heavy

Long Distance Electric Bike FAQs
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions regarding the range of electric bikes.
How Accurate is Electric Bike Range?
It depends. Because there are so many variables that determine how far an electric bike can be ridden on one charge, it can be difficult for brands to state accurate range figures.
For this reason, most electric bikes will list their range with an upper and lower limit, for example, 45-60 miles. Some brands will do away with the lower limit and state a range of “up to” 60 miles for example.
How Far Do E-Bikes Actually Go?
The range of an electric bike depends on a variety of factors. The settings of the e-bike, the rider’s weight, how fast you go, the terrain, how often the rider stops and starts, the weather, and even the bike’s tyre pressure can alter an e-bike’s range.
However, the most important factor that influences e-bike range is the size (or capacity) of the onboard battery. In simple terms, a larger-capacity battery will offer more range than a smaller one. In our book, large-capacity batteries are anything over 600Wh.
Here’s an example. Buy an electric bike with a 300Wh battery, ride it in its maximum assistance setting (or with the throttle if it has one) on hilly terrain with flat tyres and you’ll be lucky to get 20-30 miles of riding in before you need to charge up again.
But ride differently with that very same bike – in the lowest assistance setting, with the correct tyre pressure on a flatter route – and you could easily double that range.
It should also be noted that an e-bike’s battery performance will diminish over time. Like your smartphone that’s always running out of battery, an e-bike that is charged over and over again will tend to have less range than when it rolled out of the factory.
Not Sure What Bike You Need?
Take Our 10-Second Quiz⬇️
How to Increase E-Bike Range
There are two main ways to increase the range of an electric bike. First, there are things you can do whilst riding the bike. This includes things like using a lower assistance setting or mode, making use of your bike’s gears, reducing any excess weight, or altering your route to take in flatter terrain.
Second, there are things you can do whilst the bike is not being ridden. This includes things like storing your e-bike correctly – not in temperatures extremes or in direct sunlight – or making sure your electric bike has the right tyre pressures before you ride.
