In the 2010s, Huffy began applying its expertise in creating low-cost bikes to the electric bike industry. Huffy e-bikes cover a wide portion of the market, with six urban-centric models catering to small budgets, with pedal assist and throttles featured across the lineup.

The 9-speed Sora groupset features trickle-down tech from Shimano’s more expensive offerings. This equates to reliable shifting and a comfy brake hood design. Gearing wise Trek has opted for the sensible combination of a compact chainset and an 11-32t cassette, which should provide ample range for most conditions. That said the Sora rear mech can handle a 34t cassette should you fancy lower gearing. The best cheap road bikes can offer you miles of smiles without costing the earth, even though some of the best road bikes can cost thousands.
