As we wrote in an earlier article, eBikes range in price from under $1000 up to and above $4000 for top-of-the-line electric bikes.
This review will focus on eBikes for those of us looking for an affordable commuter bike priced up to $1500. If you are looking for and want to check out folding eBikes see our review of the Top 5 Basic Folding Electric Bikes for 2023
Prices for eBikes under $1,500 have different offerings and features. For example and a big consideration, the distance that you can travel on a single charge. An eBike for about $700 has a distance of approximately 20 to 30 miles between charges and a bike that costs about $150 more can travel a distance of about 50 miles on a charge with a better top speed.
As noted lower-priced bikes generally have a smaller battery capacity, so your travel distance will not be as far. This is not necessarily a problem if you have a shorter commute or you are able to charge at your place of work then these less expensive eBikes will suit you and will be able to afford a cheaper alternative that suits your pocket.
