What's the difference between a hybrid bike and an e-bike in this roundup?

A traditional hybrid bike (like the Schwinn Network 3.5 or Tommaso Sorrento) is human-powered with upright geometry suited to commuting and fitness. Several picks here are technically electric city bikes marketed as commuter hybrids; we've labeled those clearly so you can decide whether you want pedal assist or a lighter, simpler, lower-maintenance non-powered frame.
