10. Aspadz Cavet. After 25 years in the cycling industry, Bellevue, Washington-based Aspadz has
released their flagship moped-style e-bike, the Cavet, and it is definitely a head-turner,
to say the least. With four really great color schemes to choose from
and 1,000-watt peak output, a 500-watt nominal, rear hub motor you can quickly get around town
at a top speed of 28 miles per hour, while definitely leaving an impression
on passersby. The stated total driving range is 70 miles thanks to the swappable 48-volt,
20-amp hour, 960-watt hour battery pack that is effectively placed on the down tube. What's more,
the battery pack has an IP67 water resistance rating and is painted to match the color choice.
The total charge time is four to five hours and, with a direct-to-consumer business model,
and a $1,895 price tag it's clear the brand is able to pass the savings onto the customer. The
68-pound total weight is pretty standard for this style of moped and the aluminum frame is adorned
with design embellishments that are equal parts retro, and techno. The Cavet comes with a twist
grip throttle, 20-inch by 4-inch fat tires, an LCD display, an app, and front air suspension but no
rear suspension. 9. Rumble Henry Air SST stepping up the price tag a little is the Rumble Henry Air
SST which is a partnership released between Henry Electric in Detroit, and Swedish-American
Rumble Motors out of Sacramento. This beast of a modern-day electric moped is designed to resemble
older cafe-style racers albeit with a new twist. The Air SST design features include the continuous
tank and seat assembly that is synonymous with cafe-style racers, custom laser-cut cover panels,
low cafe racer handlebars, powder coated finish, LED headlights and taillights, and much more. When
ordering the Air SST no need to pick out a color or accessories as each bike is fully customizable.
The brand will reach out to you to select your bike's wheels and tires, steering style,
handlebars, paint job, and much more. You should note that with a top speed of 65 miles per hour
thanks, to the 5-kilowatt rear hub-mounted motor you pretty much have an electric motorcycle
between your legs. The only difference is that there are settings that lower the top speed to
meet local e-bike regulations. The stated total driving range is 99 miles thanks to the large
72-volt, 50 amp-hour lithium-ion battery pack that can be fully charged in five to six hours,
with an optional quick charger that will charge the Air SST in two to four hours. The tires are
18 inches by 3.75 inches and the total weight is 160 pounds. The price tag is $7,550. 18.
Ariel Rider X-Class. If the price of the Air SST is too steep then we have a more affordable,
award-winning electric cafe-style moped for you. The $2,599 Ariel Rider X-Class was designed to
be one of the fastest e-bikes in its price range from day one and thanks to the upgraded 52-volt
battery system and massive 35-amp controller. The X-class 52-volt is faster than ever with
an upgraded 1000-watt nominal, and 2000-watt peak, rear hub-mounted motor. The Ariel Rider X-Class is
capable of reaching an electronically limited top speed of 30 miles per hour and features 110-newton
meters of torque. The industry-leading rear coiled suspension is 100% CNC machined for precision and
features rebound adjustment so you can dial in your ride for better handling, better support, and
even a lower-profiled ride. The integrated battery pack is located on the down tube and features a
massive 936-watt hour giving a total driving range of 75 miles per charge, which is great considering
most city commutes are less than five miles. The battery pack is lightweight coming in at a mere
seven pounds and is lockable for added security. The rear of the bike can be used for cargo storage
with the optional storage rack or if you want to ride with a friend the optional long saddle
allows you to fit two riders comfortably 7. Razor Rambler 16. Coming in at $779,
the Razor Rambler 16 by Segway is a cafe-style electric moped available to consumers at
an unbelievable price. And price aside, the quality and design of this retro-looking scooter
are both great. The frame is made of steel which is quite durable, albeit heavier than the aluminum
frame mopeds on this list, and the total weight, with battery, is 51 pounds. However, despite the
quality build and cool design don't expect to get much in the way of performance. The twist grip
throttle and 350-watt motor can bring the vehicle and rider to a top speed of 15 and a half miles
per hour, which is fun but pales in comparison to the 30 to 65 miles per hour top speeds of some of
the other mopeds on this list. The budget nature of this electric moped means that you won't get
the sweet front and rear suspension available on almost all other mopeds, nor will you get the disc
brakes. In fact, the Razor Rambler comes with no front brake and only one drum brake in the rear.
The range is 11.5 miles as Razor opted for a 36-volt lead-acid battery setup,
as opposed to a lithium-ion setup. And, try as we might, we couldn't find any information on the
charge time of the Rambler. If you know or have an idea, be sure to let us know in the comments.
Having all this said, the Razor Rambler may still be for you if you're looking for an entry-level
electric moped for yourself or a child. It looks cool, it won't break, and, it also won't break
the bank. 6. Rumble Rover. Now here's another cool-looking cafe-style electric moped from
Sacramento-based, Rumble Motors. Starting at $2,450, the Rumble Rover is a pedal-assisted
electric moped that is a mix of cafe racer and electric BMX, with a noticeably larger than usual
top tube. Aesthetically, the large cylinder-shaped top tube is what sets the bike apart from others.
But, it isn't merely a fashion statement. The engineers at Rover decided that the top tube would
be a great place to store the battery. The Samsung 48-volt 15 amp-hour lithium-ion battery pack gives
this electric moped a driving range of 45 miles, fully on throttle, and 65 miles when moderate
pedal-assist is used. The included charger can charge the battery to full in about four hours
via any standard outlet, and the large volume 20 by 4-inch fat tires, when paired with the front
air suspension and rear coil suspension, mean the trails and rough terrain will barely be an
inconvenience. And the 500-watt rear hub-mounted motor delivers a top speed of 30 miles or 50
kilometers per hour. This moped is a tad weighty though coming in at 79 pounds. The headset and
handlebars have all the usual features you'd find on a bike but with the added addition of a horn,
headlights, blinker switches, and the LCD display that shows GPS tracking, battery levels, speed,
and distance traveled. 5. Michael Blast Outsider. Now here's another great-looking electric moped,
the Michael Blast Outsider. With six cool color schemes to choose from, fat 20 by 4-inch tires,
and a $2,199 dollar price tag, this blast from the past moped features high-quality components and
enough battery power and speed to get you where you need to go. The Outsider features a rear hub
mounted 750-watt continuous 1,000-watt peak Bafang motor that delivers enough power to climb hills
and accelerate quickly. The 80-newton meters of torque also come in handy for riding on muddy and
sandy trails. The top speed of 22 miles per hour can be reached with full throttle or pedal assist,
meaning this e-bike is either a Class 2 or Class 3 electric bike, depending on your local rules
and regulations. There is a speed limiter setting that allows you to set the top speed at 20 miles
per hour thus ensuring the class 2 e-bike status. The 48-volt battery pack comes with a 500- and a
750-watt option, for $400 more, and the estimated total driving range is between 35 and 50 miles.
To keep with the retro feel, the battery pack is safely located beneath the lockable plastic gas
tank and is removable for easy charging. There is no suspension on the Outsider,
but the 20 by 4-inch fat tires aid in creating a smoother ride than narrower tires would.
The frame is aluminum and the total weight of the bike, with the battery pack, is 50 pounds.
4. Monday Anza. Up next is the Monday Anza by Torrance, California-based Monday
Motorbikes. With the starting price of $1,899 dollars for the 500-watt motor, or $2,899
for the 750-watt motor, as well as having four colors to choose from, this cafe-style electric
moped is both fun and affordable. The lightweight aluminum alloy frame is simple and unique and the
ergonomically designed handlebars are a cross between brat style bars, and beach cruiser bars,
dare we say, "brat-cruiser" handlebars? The low rise at the end of the handlebars has a
slight tilt toward the rider providing a sporty yet comfortable riding experience.
There is no front or rear suspension on the Anza, but, thanks to the robust shock absorption from
the 20 by 4-inch fat tires, you can expect a comfortable ride even on tougher terrain. The
top speed of the Anza is 20 miles per hour with the internally geared brushless DC 500-watt motor,
and 28 miles per hour with the 750-watt motor. The seat is 23 inches long providing ample space
for two riders without the need for an additional seat purchase. And, much like the Michael Blast
Outsider, the removable battery pack is located beneath the plastic gas tank allowing for easy
access when the rider needs to charge the battery inside the office, at the coffee shop, or at home.
The vertical high visibility LCD screen displays range, amps, speed, power-assist, and more,
and comes with a USB plug so you can charge your phone or Bluetooth speaker on the go. 3. Super 73
ZX. The Super 73 ZX is another electric bike that is equal parts cafe-racer and equal parts BMX.
It is the larger upgraded version of the Z1 and features a lighter grade 6061 T6 aluminum alloy
frame that is both rust and corrosion resistance. It also features a more powerful 615-watt hour
battery pack that delivers a roughly 30 mile range on full throttle when riding at 20 miles per hour,
or under, or 50 miles when on Eco mode. The seat has been redesigned to improve rider ergonomics
and give a more upright riding position making the ZX one of Super 73's most comfortable bikes to
date. The pedal assist has four modes: Eco, Tour, Sport, and Super, so you have plenty of options
to personalize your commute. The four-inch wide Trooper street tires feature a hybrid micro-tread
designed to increase rolling velocity and the DC hub motor delivers a peak output of 1,350-watts
or 750-watts of nominal power. The total weight, with battery, is 62.6 pounds and the top speed
is 28 miles per hour. If accessories are your thing then the Super 73 has you covered. Their
store features upgrades for everything from tires, handlebars, and batteries, to surf racks, grips,
air suspension, forks, saddles, and even tools to make your life easier when fixing your bike
on the go. The Super 73 ZX costs $2,195 directly from their website and usually ships within one
week of your order. 2. Rumble Air. One of the best looking cafe-racer style electric mopeds on
this list is the Rumble Air from Swedish-American motorcycle builders, Rumble Motors in Sacramento,
California. With a gross weight of 66 pounds, or 33 kilograms, and a 1,000-watt motor,
this lightweight moderately powerful e-bike can achieve a top speed of 30 miles, or 48 kilometers,
per hour. Not nearly as fast as the 65 miles per hour Rumble SST, but still plenty quick enough
to get you around on your daily commute, or out of town for a weekend adventure. And, speaking
of weekend adventures, the 48-volt, 750-watt hour battery pack delivers a range of around 38 miles,
or 60 kilometers, in Eco mode, but there is an option for two batteries giving you twice the
range. The charge time is roughly four hours but there is an optional fast charger that can charge
each battery in a mere two hours. The aluminum frame and fork are sturdy and the design is
reminiscent of older World War II-era motorcycles. The 20 by 3-inch tires are puncture resistant
and the front and rear Tektro disc brake system allows for a quick stopping time. There are
currently three color options to choose from. Black on black. Green on black. And our favorite,
yellow on black. The company does offer free worldwide shipping and the price,
at the time of this recording, is $3,450. And, unlike a few of the other mopeds,
this one is available and ready to ship right now. We really hope you're enjoying our content,

button! 1. Onyx RCR. There are seemingly a lot of electric mopeds out there these days but not
many have been selling as many units as the Onyx RCR. The 72-volt RCR is San Francisco-based Onyx
Motorbikes flagship model that is tough fun to ride, has a nostalgic feel, and is hand built in
one of their two California factories. This beast of an electric moped features full suspension,
retro-styling, and the frame was built to resemble the tried-and-true Austrian Puch
Mopeds from the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. With an extra long seat capable of fitting two riders,
a scrambler style headlight, and a 5.4 kilowatt motor that produces 193-newton meters of torque,
you can expect to get some serious speed out of the RCR. How fast? Try a top speed of 60 miles or
96 kilometers per hour, which is way faster than many local regulations have for e-bikes. The brand
got around this by offering settings that can gear the moped back to a mere 750-watts. If that isn't
your thing though it should be noted that this bike can be registered as a motorcycle in most
states. The brand also updated and improved many requested features in late 2020. In fact, RCR's
purchased after that date had many updates like hydraulic suspension forks, a 5-volt USB charger,
reinforced rear swing arm, adjustable seat mounts, and quick disconnect wiring harness to name a few.
The weight is a tad heavier than the Rumble Air coming in at 145 pounds, or 65 kilograms,
and the 17 by 2.75-inch tires are a little smaller giving off a lower profile. The price tag is
$4,350 dollars directly from the manufacturer's website. Do you see yourself replacing your ride
