Types of Electric Bikes 

You can find all of these options in our selection of electric bikes for under $1,500.

  • City e-Bikes are well-balanced rides that are ideal for your commute, roaming around the city, or weekend rounds at the park.
  • Folding e-Bikes collapse down in a flash, making them easy to store and transport.
  • Adventure e-Bikes are ready for all-terrain riding. At this price range, these models with wide, grippy tires are mostly limited to hardtail suspension.
  • Cargo e-Bikes haul tons of stuff or young passengers with ease. Typically one of the most expensive types of e-Bikes, there are plenty of affordable options.
  • Electric mountain bikes are built for riding on trails, in the sand, mud or snow. You can expect entry-level models for under $1,500, with full-suspension e-MTBs reserved for larger budgets.
  • Road e-Bikes offer a smooth, efficient ride. Upway has both drop and flat bar models available for under $1,500.

E-Bike Classes

Electric bikes are divided into three classes depending on their type of assistance and top speed. With a budget of $1,500 or less, you can access any of the three e-Bike classes, so the choice is up to you.

  • Class 1 electric-bikes are pedal-assist bicycles that provide power to the rider only when the rider is pedaling. These bikes have a maximum speed of 20 mph. 
  • Class 2 electric bikes are also known as "throttle-assist" bikes. They also have a top speed of 20 mph but include a throttle control that allows the rider to engage the motor without pedaling.
  • Class 3 electric bikes, also known as "speed pedelecs", have a higher maximum speed of 28 mph. These electric bikes are designed for use on roads and some states require a minimum age and use of helmets, so check your local laws before buying.
