Despite what you may have heard, you don’t have to pay $3,000 to get an eBike like that. Electric bikes from some more expensive brands often share the same core motor type, battery cell chemistry, and brake system as a $1,000 Lectric model. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLectric’s mission to create affordably awesome eBikes has turned us into the number one selling eBike brand in the US. Premium features like hydraulic disc brakes and 750W motors are available across the lineup at prices that competitors charge significantly more to match.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThat all means you don’t have to break the bank to get the quality of ride you want for the long haul.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow to Evaluate eBike Value Beyond the Price Tag\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere’s hard costs, and then there’s value.

A torque sensor paired with a 750W motor delivers noticeably more responsive assist and stronger performance on climbs than a cadence sensor with a 500W motor. Lectric offers both configurations depending on what you need, at a price point hundreds of dollars lower than comparable models. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThink about the brakes, too. Hydraulic disc brakes self-adjust as pads wear and generate more stopping force with less hand pressure than mechanical alternatives.
