8 Electric Bike Showdown: Best Ebikes Under $2,000 Compared!

This video compares 8 fat tire electric bikes in the price range of $1,000 to $2,000. All of these ebikes have their own pros and cons, and in this video I'll show you their performance and ride characteristics side by side. At the end of the video I'll leave you with my current opinion on my favorite fat tire ebike out of this line up... but I actually have more electric bike reviews coming soon!

✅ My #1 Favorite Big Ebikes w/ pedals:
This is like the "Trophy Truck" of ebikes, like a pick-up truck with a nitrous switch, huge and has ridiculous power, big 26" off road tires, and big plush suspension... you'll get more smiles per gallon instead of miles per gallon, don't watch this if you aren't preparred to drop $2k today:
#1

#2
Also this one, but it costs a bit more after shipping and tax:

✅ My #1 Favorite "Moped" style Ebike w/ pedals (The Corvette of ebikes: huge performance at a bargain price compared to more refined competitors like Lamborghini and Ferrari, wheels 20" wheels sit lower to the ground)
#1

#2

#3

✅ My Favorite "Cheap" and Legal 26" x 4" Fat Ebike (Think of this ebike is the Ford F150 of ebikes: popular, reliable, big, strong, not as polished as a G-Wagon but it can do 95% the same thing at a fraction of the price)

✅ The "Toyota of Ebikes" (reliable, smaller size, good range, everything you need at a bargain price)

I wouldn't mind seeing another version of this video with some of the more recent budget bikes you have reviewed

[FreakyT]

Late to the party here but I would definitely add in The Magicycle bikes at under 2k. You get 52v systems, quality feel, solid adjustability (ability to fine tune pas levels power based not speed based) and they have a good support network. Also Ariel Rider Kepler (52v 1k motor) and obviously the Wired cruiser at 60v! However the Wired are sold out and quite the wait to get one.

Can’t wait to see the “ it’s been sitting in a storage unit for 3 years with a flat battery, will it charge and ride” videos lol

[jackwhite]

Confused about the name of the bike on the link. I like the Aventon and the Hey bike and the Velitric the front forks on the Hey bike really got my attention. I don’t care about the turning radius. But I’ll be doing bike paths the most and dirt roads like out camping the main reason for the bike to take out on trips.

Hi thanks so much for all the reviews, so is there a favorite for a commuter bike.? NCM Milano +. Local bike shop has it nice bike however it has a cadence pedal. Trying to find an E bike that is in a B good for regular commuting, as well as all-around fun. Thanks for your time.

How doing a review on the Lectric XP 3.0

[familylifechristiancentre]

Hi there. Love your channel. Do you have any info or experience with the Tesgo brand? They also upgraded the Hummer pro and SST Strength to a higher battery. Just hoping to see some testing before I buy. Keep up good work. Great content on this channel!!

[CrashingSpyro]

I'm thinking about getting a ebike sometime next year so i can get around a little quicker

[DavidCharles-wiqr]

Can you replace the thumb throttles with an aftermarket twist throttle?

[kevinnashskitchen]

Wow! If you miss your storage unit payments and I see your unit on tv in that storage wars program, that would be a good episode. 👍 Good video

[michaelroberts]

Thank you for your videos - my wife and I are getting ready for retirement and looking to buy our first e-bikes! My wife is likely going to end up with the Aventon Level 2, but I'm a bit undecided - I'm thinking the Hovsco Hovalpha, but would want a cruiser-ish handlebar. I really want the 750w, torque assist, hydraulic brake, and a bit larger battery. Am I missing any other options to consider?

[LittleBozo]

Your reviews r the best. Has Velotric Nomad integrated the battery brake light yet? The website isn't clear. I see a light on the rear fender but no description of a brake light

[DavesDimension]

was this the aventon adventure 1 or curious. love this review and iim considering the hovsco, aventon and hey aventon since i know a couple shops in my area support it....where as the other two would be virtually unknown...in my area.

[StormyDog]

Great info, thanks. One thing though: most bikes have adjustable settings that allow you to adjust the PA lag. I personally like a longer pedal assist lag. You can always hit the thumb throttle for instant power.

[donamcgogo]

Have you any opinions on the 750 watt Luckeep folding on Amazon?

[thesetruths]

Any suggestions? I need 3 bikes for our family. I have two already, a EUY S4 26ah, and Ridstar 21ah. What should be a third? The EUY was $1450 delivered and Ridstar $1, 050. Any suggestions for my third bike? Needs to have same capabilities as other two, and is more for playing around on slightly hilly gravel roads and our level fields. Thanks!

[hovsco]

Thank you for your honest review of our Hovsco e-bikes! We are super happy to be part of your best e-bikes under $2, 000! We were wondering if we could repurpose some parts of your video? 😇

[quintonmak]

Quality of customer service is an important parameter, it is not uncommon for ebike parts to fail, many 'big brands' will never fix the problems even under warranty

[Porkchop]

Surprised that the Magicycle Cruiser Pro or Ocelot Pro weren't included.
Any thoughts on why?

[robertcolledge]

The Aventon Aventure 2 now has a torque sensor and larger battery...and it's sold at my local bike shop.
