What to expect from a cheap bike
The cheapest ones are usually foldable, with a 350 to 500 W motor and a smaller battery. That works well for short, flat trips. For hills, more weight or longer distances, it's worth moving up a range.
How not to fall for a trap
- Check the battery in Wh (volts x amp-hours), not just the motor power.
- See whether the listing's range takes your weight into account.
- Read the most recent reviews and the seller's warranty.
- Be wary of a spec sheet that disagrees with the description.
