What each range usually delivers
Under R$ 3k, most listings are foldable bikes (8 of 11), with a 350 to 500 W motor. From R$ 3k to R$ 5k, the typical power stays at 500 W and almost none are foldable. The R$ 5k to R$ 8k range holds more than half of the listings and is where the 1,000 W models appear, like the V9 Max. Over R$ 8k, the typical power is the same, and the listings include the versions with two batteries.
