Considering most of the company's other e-bikes fall in the $1,300-$1,600 range, and they even have a few models around $1,000, that might seem high.

Best Mid-drive Electric Bike Ride1up Prodigy XR

The Ride1Up prodigy is very reasonably priced at $2,295.

Considering most of the company's other e-bikes fall in the $1,300-$1,600 range, and they even have a few models around $1,000, that might seem high.

3

Remember, however, that you're getting a much higher-end drivetrain, along with several other nice features.

4

German motors may not be cheap, but they're worth it. The quality and smoothness of Brose motors are well known.

A Shimano Alivio transmission is then paired with it (or 'great' by us normal e-bikers standards - some lycra-bois will argue a Shimano XTR 12-speed is better).

5

Furthermore, it comes with hydraulic disc brakes, a custom designed rack that protects the tail light in metal, a comfortable seat, and full-metal fenders.

A bike shop e-bike experience for an online e-bike price. That's what the average commuter or leisure e-bike rider will get with this kit.

Ride1Up Prodigy is the best mid-drive electric bike on a budget,
