Looking for an affordable e-bike? From urban cruisers to folding models, every electric bike on Bicycling magazine's list is sub $2,000—even some that reach 28 mph.
Usually, the cheaper the bike, the cheaper the parts. But this doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be riding around on a rattling tin can. It just means that the bike’s designers took into consideration where they could include lower-level parts without sacrificing safety while putting the money where it counts most—hydraulic disc brakes, decent tires, and a reliable e-system.
Although the electrical components on some of these bikes might not be plastered with a familiar name, like Bosch or Shimano, that doesn’t mean they’re not capable. Aventon, for example, pieced together its own e-bike system for the —rather than buying a complete one from someone else—to keep the price down and allow for higher-quality parts elsewhere.It used to be that most bikes at this price point didn’t hide their batteries with much elegance. Instead, companies installed them prominently on top of the down tube. But we’re beginning to see more batteries hidden within the down tube or tucked discreetly behind the seat tube.
Don’t expect to ride across the state on these bikes, either. The highest range in this list is 70 miles, but most average about 45. Like gas mileage in a car, real-world results vary depending on what assist level you use, terrain, and more. Still, it’s worth checking the bike’s battery range before you buy it to make sure it fits your daily needs.Our team of experienced testers spent many hours and miles using most of these bikes for their intended purposes.
