Pros and cons
Pros
- Entry price of €1,399 sits just above the €1,314.57 upper quartile of the site.
- Belt drive is standard, which is rarer than the 61.5% share without it.
- Removable battery and a 180 km claimed range suit riders who charge at work.
- Finance is available, and the 30 days money back window shortens the risk on a direct sale.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, covering phone and a help centre as well as email.
Cons
- The top price of €3,499 is well past the €3,506.97 upper quartile of the site.
- There is no throttle, so pull up assistance matters on the 13.6 kg lightest bike.
- Service runs through partner workshops rather than in house, so a job may mean a third party.
- Nominal power of 250 W is at the 250 W lower quartile, below the 500 W median.
Who it suits
- Commuters in Germany, AT and BE who want belt drive and a long warranty
- Riders who prefer buying direct, since both covers direct sales and partners
- Anyone carrying loads, with a 180 kg payload limit
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting cargo carrying, which Tern builds into cargo, commuter and folding
- Buyers after established dealer servicing rather than both direct and partner buying
- Riders wanting a throttle, which this brand does not offer
Core features
The headline detail is belt drive, which is listed across the range and covers a minority of the market, since 38.5% of site listings have it while 61.5% do not. Power comes from a hub motor made in house, rated at 250 W. That sits at the 250 W lower quartile of the site and below the 500 W median, so the emphasis is on quiet assistance rather than hauling power. There is no throttle, which keeps the bike inside the EU 25 class and under the usual European limit. Batteries are removable, and capacity reaches 720 Wh. A claimed range of 180 km is stated for the range. The lightest bike weighs 13.6 kg, and the payload limit is 180 kg. Brakes are hydraulic disc, and the range is sold with a 30 days money back window. Frame warranty runs 2 years and battery warranty 2 years. Finance is available on new orders.
How it compares on our data
On price from, Deruiz ranks 109 of 149 brands tracked. That places it above the €876.09 median of €876.09 and clear of the €1,314.57 upper quartile, but well inside the €7,774.27 ceiling of €7,774.27. On the top price the picture is similar. Deruiz ranks 105 of 145, sitting near the €3,506.97 upper quartile of €3,506.97 while the market reaches €14,644.39. So expect to pay more than the €481.45 lower quartile of cheaper listings, and less than the €14,644.39 most expensive bikes on the site. The overall score on our pages reads 8.8, with the cost part at 8.6, the offer part at 9.2 and the trust part at 8.3.
Plans and prices
Deruiz is sold as a single hardware range rather than a tiered plan, so there is no subscription to renew and no separate renewal price. Finance is available, but the figures are for the bike itself rather than a subscription fee. The range opens at €1,399 and the most expensive bike is listed at €3,499. Those are purchase prices, and there is no introductory rate followed by a renewal rate to compare. For context, the site median for the lower price is €876.09 and for the upper price €2,299, so Deruiz sits in the higher part of the market on both ends. The cheapest bike on the site is €8.73 and the most expensive €7,774.27. A 30 days money back window applies to the purchase, which is the only cost commitment beyond the price itself.
The company behind it
Deruiz trades as Deruiz Germany GmbH and is based in Germany. It was founded in 2018, so it is a relatively young operation compared with long established cycle makers. The company sells direct and through partners, which means you can buy online or see a bike in person. Servicing also runs through partners rather than an in house network. Support is offered on email, phone and help centre, so you can reach a person by phone as well as by email, with a help centre and a community option for questions that do not need a call.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Deruiz e-bike cost?+
Bikes run from €1,399 at the entry end up to €3,499 at the top, and the reference models are Quartz 2026, Mica Pro 2026, Peridot 2026, Dolomit 2026. There is no subscription or renewal price to weigh, so the purchase figure is the whole cost on the bike itself.
Do Deruiz e-bikes have a throttle?+
No, there is no throttle on the bikes listed. That keeps them in the EU 25 assist class, which is a common European setup, but it does mean the motor helps only while you pedal rather than on demand.
What kind of bikes does Deruiz make?+
The range covers commuter, city and step through, so you can find a commuter, a city bike, a step-through, a folding model, an emtb and a road bike under one name. The named models are Quartz 2026, Mica Pro 2026, Peridot 2026, Dolomit 2026, which is worth checking against the type you want.
Where can I buy and get support?+
Sales run direct and through partners, and the brand ships to DE, AT and BE, so most of Europe is covered. Support comes on email, phone and help centre, including phone and a help centre, and servicing is handled through partner workshops.
How far will a Deruiz e-bike go on a charge?+
The stated claimed range is 180 km, and the battery is removable, so it can be charged away from the bike. Battery capacity reaches 720 Wh, and actual range will depend on riding style, load and terrain.
What warranty and money back cover do I get?+
The frame warranty runs 2 years and the battery warranty 2 years. On top of that there is a 30 days money back window, which gives room to ride the bike before deciding.
Can I finance a Deruiz bike?+
Finance is available on these bikes, so the purchase can be spread rather than paid outright. It applies to the bike purchase and sits alongside the 30 days money back window, so check the terms before committing.
How heavy and how much can it carry?+
The lightest bike in the range weighs 13.6 kg, and the stated payload limit is 180 kg. That is a generous load rating for a commuter, though the lightest weight is worth weighing up if you plan to carry the bike on a train or up stairs.
