How every figure here is made

  1. Read from the maker. Prices and specs come from the maker's own US store or pricing page, never a marketplace listing, and each page prints its read date.
  2. Computed in the open. Watt-hours from volts and amp-hours, price per watt-hour, cost per year from the EIA electricity price; the arithmetic is printed beside the result.
  3. No borrowed experience. We do not claim to have ridden a bike we have not ridden. A dedicated review of a unit a maker supplies says so at the top.
