Unbiased, In-Depth Analysis of the Best Electric Bikes
These electric bikes come in all shapes and sizes but are priced more affordably, less than or equal to $1,500 USD.
The Vienna is a compact folding style electric bike that comes with lots of features and accessories. You get both pedal assist and throttle mode for riding, the battery is removable for convenient charging and storage and the fenders, lights and handlebar bag come standard which saves money but keeps you clean, safe and functional.

The ProdecoTech Storm 500 is one of the larger folding electric bikes around and it’s also one of the cheapest. As with most Prodeco ebikes this one uses a large gearless rear hub motor and rack mounted battery that sits just behind the seat post. It’s not the most elegant or well balanced design but […]
The ProdecoTech Genesis 500 is one of the larger folding electric bikes around and it’s also one of the cheapest. As with most Prodeco ebikes this one uses a large gearless rear hub motor and rack mounted battery that sits just behind the seat post. It’s not the most elegant or well balanced design but […]
The ProdecoTech Stride R is one of the more affordable ebikes I’ve tested and I love that it comes with a front shock to smooth out the ride. The power it offers is good but the drive system is limited to throttle only which tends to reduce range and climbing ability because there’s no incentive […]
The ProdecoTech Oasis is a fun budget oriented electric bike that offers an upright cruiser style ride. It feels solid and offers plenty of power with a 750 watt direct drive hub motor and 48 volt battery pack. While it only comes in one size and one color, the handlebars and seat are adjustable to […]
The Biria Electric City Bike was a limited run model produced around 2013. You may be familiar with their 2012 Easy Boarding electric bicycle which offered a stronger battery, seat post shock and shorter frame that was designed to be easier to mount. The company has been focused on non-electric bikes and offers unique frame […]
The Daedalus from Emazing Bike is an efficient, light weight city style electric bike that offers a more aggressive ride but feels great to pedal. That’s important because it only offers pedal assist, no throttle mode. It comes in three flavors including the 72pd and vd (the difference is disc brake vs. v-brake) and 12pv […]
The first time I got to ride an eZip Trailz electric bike was back in 2011 but Currie has been producing them since 2005. It’s a bike that makes financial sense but sacrifices quality of ride in some ways and doesn’t offer a lot of power or speed. It’s great to see a design update […]
The Volton El Legs electric bikes offer a light weight design with balanced battery and motor integration focused on efficiency. The frame is what I would call “city style” and resemble a road bikes with thinner tubing and large 700cc wheels that use narrow tires built for speed. The rims are deep dish “aero” design […]
The Volton Alation ST 500 offers good power, value and balance with a frame that’s easier to mount because it’s a step-through design (that’s what the ST stands for). The most recent version has an extended rear fender, improved headlight and rubberized battery cover that reduces rattling and keeps dust and water out. It’s a […]
