Electric bikes (“e-bikes”) configured to achieve automatic and dynamic ride control based on a rider's desired ride objective without requiring direct physical inputs from the rider during the ride are disclosed. A rider specifies, via her mobile device or a device integrated with the e-bike, various input parameters representative of a desired ride objective. An objective-based ride control algorithm is then executed to determine—based on sensor information indicative of input variables such as pedal cadence, vehicle speed, current transmission position, electric motor power, GPS location, terrain elevation, and the like—settings for controlled variables such as transmission ratio, motor assist level, braking force, and/or suspension pressure in order to support the rider's desired ride objective, as represented by the specified input parameters. As such, a rider achieves a desired ride experience without having to directly manipulate controlled variables during the ride.
