Our verdict on each
Egret
Egret is a German scooter maker whose folding models sit in the middle of the price field, with prices from €399 and a claimed range of 100 km. It suits riders on a long commute who want a road legal kick-scooter in Germany plus spare parts and warranty from one company.
Prophete
Prophete suits a European rider who wants a single brand to cover city, commuter and cargo bikes, with its own service network behind it. You pay more at entry than the site median, so check the Hansa by Prophete at €1,149.95 against cheaper shortlists first.

Pros and cons
Egret
Pros
- A 949 Wh battery with 100 km of claimed range, and a battery rank of 4 out of 20 brands.
- Suspension is fitted and folding is listed as yes, so one scooter covers rough commutes and train travel.
- Warranty of 24 months plus a spare parts shop, so wear parts come from the maker that built it.
Cons
- Support runs on chat and help centre only, so there is no phone line for anyone who wants to talk a fault through.
- Road legality is listed for de only, even though shipping reaches DE, AT and FR, so riders elsewhere must check local rules.
- At 21.8 kg it needs a two handed lift onto a rack or platform rather than a quick carry up a stair.
Prophete
Pros
- The service network is own and a spare parts shop is available, so wear parts and repairs come from the company that built the bike.
- The range spans city, commuter and hybrid, so a city bike, a step-through, a mountain bike and a cargo hauler all come from the same maker.
- Cargo and longtail models are rated for a payload of 200 kg, which covers a weekly shop, a laptop or a small child.
Cons
- The Hansa by Prophete costs €1,149.95 at entry, above the site median of €876.09, so Prophete is not the cheapest route into an e-bike.
- The lightest bike listed still weighs 17.6 kg, which rules it out for anyone carrying a bike up stairs or onto a train.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre and stops there, with no live chat listed for quick answers.
Who each suits
Egret
Who it suits
- Riders on a long daily commute who want 100 km of claimed range without moving up to a seated or moped style vehicle.
- Anyone in Germany who needs a road legal kick-scooter and wants spare parts sold by the same company.
- Riders who load their scooter into a car boot or train rack and can manage a two handed lift of 21.8 kg.
Who should look elsewhere
- Ticket hunters, because Egret ranks 25 out of 52 brands on price, so isinwheel is worth pricing alongside it.
- Riders outside Germany, because road legality is listed for de only, so aovo-official is the one to check against local rules instead.
- Riders who want a phone helpline, since contact runs through chat and help centre and nothing else.
Prophete
Who it suits
- Riders in the countries Prophete ships to, who would rather have the brand's own workshop and parts shop than a third-party dealer network.
- Households with mixed transport needs, from a step-through city bike for one rider to a cargo hauler for the school run.
- Buyers who keep a bike for years and value replaceable parts over a wide dealer network.
Who should look elsewhere
- Tern, whose bike types are cargo, commuter and folding, is the closer fit if your shortlist is built around cargo, commuter and folding bikes.
- Kalkhoff, listed as city, hybrid and step through, suits riders who want city, hybrid and mountain shapes rather than a range this wide.
- HK Beirui Trade Co., listed as commuter, folding and fat tire, is the pick for fat-tire riding, while Prophete's types are city, commuter and hybrid.

Questions about each
Egret
What does an Egret e-scooter cost at entry?+
Egret lists prices from €399, and that entry figure covers a range that includes Egret GTs, Egret GT, Egret Unit, Egret Ey! 2. It sits close to the median entry price of €399 for the category, so the ticket is typical rather than a bargain. Riders chasing the biggest capacity should budget above the entry model.
Are Egret scooters road legal, and where can they be ridden?+
The road legal market is listed as de, so the models are cleared for use in Germany. Shipping reaches DE, AT and FR, a wider set of countries than the road legal listing, so riders in those markets should check their own national rules before riding on a public road. Where you ride decides what you need, not where you bought.
Prophete
How much does a Prophete e-bike cost at entry?+
The cheapest bike listed, the Hansa by Prophete, costs €1,149.95, and the priciest listed bike, a cargo model, runs to €3,199.95. That is the whole span of the range rather than a subscription, so the figure you read is the figure you pay. Finance is offered if you would rather spread the entry cost over time.
What range do I get on a charge?+
One listed model is quoted at a claimed range of 220 km, and the biggest battery in the bike range is 799.9 Wh. Read that range figure as a claim made under set conditions rather than a promise, since weather, load and gradient all move it. A larger battery also means more weight to lift, so size the pack to your real route.
