How to read this
Each spoke shows where this vehicle ranks among similarly priced e-bikes: 73% means it beats 73% of them in that area. Rankings come from spec scores computed on fixed scales from manufacturer numbers (the small "spec" value, out of 100), so a high percentage means strong for the money, not perfect. The gray ring and ticks mark mid-pack.
