The Electra Brand has been known for cruisers and city bike, both electrified and not. They’ve left road bikes, eMTBs and cargo e-bikes to other brands (like their parent, Trek). Instead, they’ve focused on the category for which they are known. They’ve now introduced a new e-bike, the Ponto Go!, which takes a little sidestep

An affordable lightweight cruiser electric bike with special edition Artist Series tropical design. priced to compete with online ebikes but offers dealer assembly, fitting, post-purchase support, and comes in two frame styles and eight color scheme options! The step-thru is a small-medium with 26" tires and the high-step is a medium-large with 27.5" tires.
This is a Class 1 ebike with three levels of torque and cadence sensing pedal assist, a minimalist control pad that is easy to use, very clean cable routing, and a reliable single speed drivetrain with no shifters. The Bali and Shibori come with fenders, integrated lights, and a bell, but you can also add them to the standard Cruiser Go! along with cargo racks and a bottle cage.
Large 180mm mechanical disc brakes provide good stopping power, wide 2.35" tires provide comfort and stability, extra-wide saddle with elastomer bumpers and swept-back handlebar provide a relaxed body position. Unique "Flat Foot" frame geometry makes it easy to touch the ground when stopped while still providing good leg extension for pedaling.
Excellent weight distribution with downtube integrated battery pack. The battery and motor are so hidden and quiet that it hardly looks or sounds like an ebike! Lower than average 250wh battery capacity and 250 watt motor pair nicely for an efficient riding and keep the overall weight and price low. Tires seem kind of basic with no puncture protection or reflectivity.

One of the most affordable name brand electric bikes on the market right now, priced to compete with online ebikes but offers dealer assembly, fitting, post-purchase support, and comes in two frame styles and seven color options! The step-thru is a small-medium with 26" tires and the high-step is a medium-large with 27.5" tires.
Two gender neutral color options for the step-thru presumably for guys who aren't as tall or have sensitive knees and hips like me. Class 1 ebike with three levels of assist, minimalist buttons are easy to use, limited clutter with internally routed cables, easy to use twist shifter operates the 7-speed Shimano cassette with wide 14-34 tooth freewheel.
Large 180mm mechanical disc brakes provide good stopping power, wide 2.35" tires provide comfort and stability, extra-wide saddle with elastomer bumpers and high-rise handlebar provide an upright body position. Unique "Flat Foot" frame geometry makes it easy to touch the ground when stopped while still providing good leg extension for pedaling.
Excellent weight distribution with downtube mounted battery pack. The battery and motor are so hidden that it hardly looks like an ebike! Lower than average 250wh battery capacity and 250 watt motor pair nicely for an efficient ride and keep the overall weight and price low. Torque and cadence sensing pedal assist feel natural. Fenders, racks, lights, and other accessories all add to the cost. Tires seem kind of basic with no puncture protection.

Simplicity
Rides like a regular beach cruiser
Comfortable
Limited features
Mediocre display and controls

Super comfortable and practical town bike for relatively short trips, but disc brakes and lower gearing would make more sense
Wonderfully comfortable and safe-feeling ride
Low maintenance hub gears
Sleek looking for a fully-featured town bike
Gearing is too high for hilly areas
Rim rather than disc brakes
Fairly weighty

Price: $3699.00 | Model Year: 2020 | A premium cruiser style ebike that comes feature complete with paint-matched aluminum alloy fenders to keep you dry, sturdy rear rack for transporting gear or a child seat, top-of-the-line integrated Supernova lights (front and rear), key-alike ABUS frame lock for convenient secure stops, and puncture-resistant reflective tires to reduce flats and keep you visible to cars

Bosch SmartphoneHub is extremely versatile and unique. It works on its own as a simple display with assist level, speed, range estimate, and battery percentage but can also charge an Android or iOS phone while using it as a much larger advanced display for ebike settings, music, or GPS with narrated turn-by-turn directions!
Vast network of Trek/Electra dealers can provide test rides and post-purchase support, many color choices (including several gender-neutral options), name-brand component including Bosch drive system and Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, offered in S/M step-thru and M/L high-step frames.
High-volume Schwalbe tires and comfort saddle with elastomer bumpers offer decent comfort, but the all-aluminum frame can still be a little jarring compared to products with suspension. Very high price compared to off-brand competitors, no throttle options, the steel chain cover can get scratched and rust over time, stem not compatible with Bontrager Blendr accessories
