Prices shown by the five brand stores on November 7, 2026 (Black Friday prices included). We have not tested any of these bikes: we compare the published product pages. The commission never decides a pick. How we compare: criteria, sources and dates
Watt Mile is paid through affiliate links: if you buy through a link to Aventon, Velotric, Lectric, Ride1Up or Himiway, we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. No program has accepted the site yet, and the commission never decides the order or the picks. How we choose.
All 60 in-stock e-bikes we read on the five brand stores on November 7, 2026, cheapest first. Each figure is the one printed on the bike's product page; "not published" means the page does not give it. Black Friday sales were running on several stores that day, so prices will move.

How to read the columns
- Price (store): the lowest price of an in-stock version on the brand's own store, with the compare-at price when the store shows one. "From" marks Ride1Up bikes whose cheapest build differs from the one described in the spec table.
- Class settings: the classes the page says the bike can be set to. "Ships as" is the factory setting when published.
- Motor: the nominal rating in watts and the torque in newton-meters. Peak figures are in the store quotes, not in the table, because brands use them differently.
- Battery: watt-hours as printed; [calc] when we multiplied volts and amp-hours.
- Advertised range: the brand's maximum. The conditions behind it are in our range table.
- Weight and weight limit: with the battery; [calc] when Lectric gives the bike and the battery separately. What each limit covers is explained in the weight limit checker.
Narrow it down
Three tools do the filtering for you: cost per mile (your electricity price against each battery), laws by state (the bikes you can set to a legal class) and will it carry me. Budget at $1,500: best e-bike under $1,500.
Frequently asked questions
Which e-bike brand is cheapest?
On November 7, 2026, Lectric had the cheapest bike in our check (XP Lite2, $749) and the most models under $1,500. Ride1Up's Portola 02 starts at $795 in its Lite build. Velotric's cheapest was the Fold 1 Plus at $1,199, Aventon's the Soltera 2.5 at $1,199, Himiway's the C3 Cargo and D5 (Zebra) at $1,499.
Why do you show a struck-through price?
Only when the store itself shows a compare-at price on its product data. We do not calculate a discount and we do not know how long the store charged the higher price.
Why only five brands?
We started with the direct-to-consumer brands whose stores publish a full catalog we could read and whose affiliate programs are open to publishers. Rad Power Bikes, Super73 and bike-shop brands are not in this first check: see what is missing on our method page.
