Best Gravel Electric Bikes: 7 Picks for All Budgets in 2023

If customisable is what you are looking for then the Ribble Gravel AL e is a great option to consider given their prebuilt specs range from the ‘Hero’, a high-end 11 speed Shimano GRX Di2 build to the ‘Sport’ which consists of 10 speed Shimano GRX RX400, both built around the same aluminium Gravel AL e frame.

As well as that, all builds also share the same motor which is the very compact MAHLE SmartBike Systems X35+ 250W, coupled with a Panasonic battery. Overall this customisable build option is great for those wanting to build a gravel e-bike around their budget with a solid frame as their starting point.

This high-end 800 Series OCLV Carbon electric gravel bike certainly isn’t going to be for everyone with a price tag as hefty as this. However, for those wanting a high quality option that benefits from being lightweight then this is the one for you.

Not only that but with a range of up to 100km in eco mode, it’ll also assist even your longer gravel adventures. Additionally, this bike is fitted with the TQ-HPR50 motor system which is both powerful (peaking at 300W and continuously 250W) as well as compact.

The E-Gravel from Fiido is a great option for anyone wanting a flat bar option that’s affordable. At under $ 2,000 it’s undoubtedly a bargain and definitely a more accessible option. Given it’s upright / flat bar design, it’d make a great leisure e-bike or even commuter that can be taken off-road too.

With regards to spec, this bike also comes with hydraulic disc brakes, 9 speeds and a range of accessories as standard. The motor fitted is also silent and can be controlled by an easy to use waterproof display on the bars.

Consisting of Shimano GRX 11-speed groupset with GRX hydraulic disc brakes which is built around the SmartForm C1 Alloy frame, the Cannondale Topstone Neo 5 gravel e-bike is a great go to for those wanting a sleek and compact bike with a performance orientation.

Not only that, but this bike benefits from being fitted with the Bosch Performance Line Speed 250W, which can easily be controlled by the Bosch Purion display, which is user-friendly and clear to read.

Another gravel e-bike that is a little on the pricier side but arguably more of a mid range option is the Bianchi E-Impulso Gravel E-Bike. Fitted with the Ebikemotion X35 Plus 250W Motor Unit which due to it’s compact size offers a slick look which is a far cry from the previous bulky looking e-bikes.

In terms of spec, this one comes with Shimano GRX throughout, thus benefits from having 11-speeds which is more than enough for gravel riding. Overall, this bike is a great option for someone looking for a solid mid range gravel e-bike to train and leisure ride on.

Unsurprisingly, we have another entrant from Ribble, this time with the CGR AL e range, another very customisable option best suited to those who want choice and / or to build a bike of their suiting to a specific budget.

Coming with two pre built options either with Shimano 105 (Enthusiast) or Tiagra (Sport), both still come with the same Panasonic battery and MAHLE SmartBike Systems X35+ 250W motor, which is very compact and sleek, making this another great lightweight option for those who are weight conscious.
