2018Buying Tips: Best E-Bikes Under $1,500
- 1
At this price range, look for bikes with brand-name motors (Bafang, Shimano Steps) rather than generic hub motors.
- 2
Prioritize bikes with hydraulic disc brakes over mechanical -- the upgrade is worth it for safety and low maintenance.
- 3
Check if the original manufacturer warranty transfers to second owners. Some brands like Rad Power Bikes offer limited transferability.
- 4
Test ride if possible. At this budget, you can be selective about fit, comfort, and ride quality.
