This section of the e-bike guide for beginners discusses options for those who are serious about riding but do not have a budget of over $3,000 for a bike. The Lectric X-Peak is mentioned as a reasonably priced option at $1,399, which comes with accessories. Fat tire e-bikes like this have become popular due to their comfortable ride on various terrains. Brands like Lectric, Mooncool, Rad Power Bikes, HiPeak, Luckeep, and Snapcycle have been reviewed by CleanTechnica in this space.
Mid-fat tire bikes, with tires in the 3” range, offer a good mix of comfort, efficiency, and sand handling. It is important to ensure that an e-bike in this price range has domestic support, as most parts come from China. Having local support for replacement parts or repairs is essential. The $1,000–2,000 “sweet spot” value-for-money price range of e-bikes offers a diverse selection today, thanks to lower battery prices which have enabled an increase in models in this price range.
