Affiliate Disclosure

ElectricBikes.com is an independent publisher, not a retailer. We do not sell e-bikes directly — every purchase happens on the manufacturer's or retailer's own site. We are reader-supported. Some of the outbound links on this site are affiliate or sponsored links, which means we may earn a commission or fee when you click through and make a qualifying purchase — at no additional cost to you. We also sell clearly labeled advertising.

That money keeps the lights on and our testing independent. It never buys a higher score, a softer review, a better ranking, or a quiet omission of a safety problem. If a product is bad, we say so — affiliate link or not.

Affiliate commissions. When we link to a retailer or brand, that link is sometimes an affiliate link. If you buy after clicking it, we may receive a small commission from the seller. You pay the same price you would have paid anyway.

Currently, our active, monetized affiliate relationships are with Ride1Up and LeoGuar. Other outbound links to retailers (like Amazon, Temu, or other brands) are currently plain, non-monetized links. We may add affiliate tracking to them in the future, and if we do, we will update this disclosure.

Advertising and sponsorships. We sell display advertising and sponsored placements. These are always clearly labeled as advertising or sponsored — they are never disguised as independent editorial.

Our current paid-placement partners are Battery Safety Company (including its FYERBX charging cabinets) and Mizer Motor Works. These partners pay for the placement itself, not per sale: we earn nothing when you buy from them, so we have no financial stake in the purchase. Their links are tagged rel="sponsored" because they are paid, and the placements are labeled on the page.

What we do not do. We do not sell positive reviews, rankings, ratings, or editorial conclusions. A brand cannot pay us to score higher, to be called a 'best' pick, or to have a recall, fire, lawsuit, or other safety issue left out. Our editorial independence is not for sale.

We include visible disclosures on pages that carry affiliate or sponsored links, typically above the first such link. Outbound affiliate and shop links are also tagged in the code with rel="sponsored" so search engines and readers can identify them. Sponsored or paid-partner placements are labeled as such on the page, separate from our independent, scored reviews.

Listings we have not independently tested — including some affiliate-partner products — are presented as showcases, not as scored reviews, and are labeled accordingly.

ElectricBikes.com is an anti-pay-to-play editorial site. Our reviews, scores, comparisons, and 'best of' selections are based on our own testing, research, and judgment — never on whether a brand advertises with us or runs an affiliate program.

We always report known safety actions — such as CPSC recalls, NHTSA investigations, class-action settlements, fire incidents, and major lawsuits — on the pages that discuss an affected product, whether or not we earn a commission on that product.

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255, "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising." Our goal is to be clear and upfront about every way we earn money so you can weigh our recommendations with full information.

We keep this page current. If anything about how we make money is unclear, we want to fix that. You can contact Sean Lupton, Founder & Editor-in-Chief, at tips@electricbikes.com or partners@electricbikes.com.
