Best electric bikes for heavy riders

Every e-bike we list whose brand publishes a rider limit of 300 lb or more. Ranked by our Heavy-rider score: the limit itself, then the torque and battery it takes to carry it. Most brands publish only a total load, which includes cargo and says nothing about the rider on its own; those bikes are listed under the ranking.

A total load of 400 lb or more, but no rider limit

These brands publish a total load of 400 lb or more, rider plus cargo, and no separate rider limit. That may be fine for a heavy rider; the brand just hasn't said so. Ask before you buy. What each state does with a bike above the classes.
