Our verdict on each
DYU EBIKE
DYU EBIKE suits commuters who want a broad choice of bike shapes without paying dealer prices, with prices starting at €499. The trade-off is ownership after purchase: frame and battery cover run 1 year each, so longer ownership plans need checking.
Windhorse
Windhorse suits riders in the US and Canada who want a cheap e-bike bought direct from the maker, with a throttle on the top model. Entry sits at $299, and the range-topping bike claims 104.6 km with support on email, phone and help centre. Service runs in-house rather than through dealers.

Pros and cons
DYU EBIKE
Pros
- Entry pricing of €499 is under the €919.93 median across e-bike brands, and the whole range tops out at €1,099.
- Bike types cover city, commuter and step through, so city, step-through, folding and fat-tire riders are all served by one maker.
- A throttle and a removable battery are both present, which suits riders who carry a bike on a train or want to top up away from home.
Cons
- Frame and battery warranties both run 1 year, which is thin cover on an e-bike bought for daily commuting.
- Support runs on email, help centre and community, so a fault that needs a conversation rather than an email has no listed route.
- Service sits with the brand's own network, own, so a local workshop is not the first port of call.
Windhorse
Pros
- Entry price of $299 on the entry urban commuter sits among the lowest in the cheap e-bike group, at position 4 of 149 brands on entry price.
- The range-topping model pairs a throttle with a removable battery and a claimed range of 104.6 km.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, and the company ships to US and CA.
Cons
- Service runs through the company's own workshop rather than a dealer network, so repairs outside the US and Canada mean shipping the bike back.
- The battery warranty is 0.25 years against 1 year for the frame, so the pack is the weaker part of the cover.
- Bikes ship to US and CA only, which rules out buyers elsewhere without a friend or a forwarder.
Who each suits
DYU EBIKE
Who it suits
- Commuters who want a folding or step-through bike they can lift onto a train and charge at a desk
- Riders on rough or unpaved routes who want fat-tire capability with a claimed range of 150 km
- First time e-bike buyers working to a budget, with prices from €499 and finance on the range
Who should look elsewhere
- Riders who want a dealer-backed bike in a single market and plan to rely on a local workshop, where Kalkhoff or Tern fit better
- Anyone planning to keep a bike for years without checking the 1 year frame cover
Windhorse
Who it suits
- US and Canadian riders buying direct and happy to deal with the maker rather than a shop
- Commuters and step-through riders who want a throttle for stop-start traffic
- Folding and fat-tire buyers who want both from one maker, with the lightest listed model at 23.1 kg
Who should look elsewhere
- Riders who want dealer servicing, which Kalkhoff offers through a wider retail setup
- European buyers, since delivery is limited to US and CA
- Buyers who plan to keep a bike for many years and put weight on battery cover, set at 0.25 years

Questions about each
DYU EBIKE
What does a DYU EBIKE cost at the entry point?+
The cheapest model in the range is priced at €499, and the most expensive at €1,099. That puts the whole range below the €919.93 median entry price across e-bike brands. Finance is available if you would rather spread the entry cost than pay it in one go.
Is there a subscription or membership fee on top of the bike?+
Ownership carries no tier or membership layer in the listed pricing. What you see is a range from €499 to €1,099, with finance available on top. Running costs beyond that are not part of the listed purchase price.
Windhorse
How much does a Windhorse e-bike cost at the cheapest end?+
The entry urban commuter starts at $299, and the range runs to $1,299 for the range-topping model. Entry pricing puts Windhorse at position 4 of 149 brands, so it sits at the affordable end of the market.
What is the top of the range and what does it add?+
The range-topping model is the upper end at $1,299. It brings a throttle, a removable battery, a motor rated at 750 W and a claimed range of 104.6 km, so the extra spend buys power and range rather than a subscription.
