Our verdict on each
Fatbikes.nl
Fatbikes.nl suits riders in the Netherlands and Belgium who want a fat-tire, folding or city e-bike with hydraulic disc brakes and a removable battery. Entry at €899 keeps it in reach, while return shipping of €180 and a frame warranty of 1 year are the trade-offs.
Ride Electric
Ride Electric suits Australian riders who want a single shop for the bike, the parts and the warranty, with fat tyre models carrying en 15194 certification. A money-backed period of 7 days takes the pressure off a first purchase, and finance is available across the range.

Pros and cons
Fatbikes.nl
Pros
- Hydraulic disc brakes (hydraulic disc) sit on the top fat-tire model, and the entry bike starts at €899.
- Removable battery and a claimed range of 80 km make the fat-tire range practical for riders who charge indoors.
- Support on email, chat and phone comes from a Netherlands base, so questions reach the operation that lists the bikes.
Cons
- Finance is no, so the full €899 entry price has to be found in one payment rather than spread over months.
- Return shipping costs €180, well above the €99 median return cost among the brands listed.
- Warranty cover of 1 year on the frame and 1 year on the battery is brief for a bike rated to carry 150 kg.
Ride Electric
Pros
- Finance is available across the range, which matches 96.9% of brands on the site, so the entry price need not be paid in a single payment.
- A money-backed period of 7 days and a frame warranty of 3 years take the sting out of a first e-bike.
- The range spans commuter, road and city, so a commuter, a folding frame and a fat tyre model all come from the same counter.
Cons
- The top of the range is AUD 12,999, a long way above the AUD 1,299 entry point, so the spread inside a single shop is wide.
- Support runs on email, help centre and community only, so there is no phone line for a rider whose bike has stopped on the way home.
- The refurbished answer is no, so a buyer on a tight budget has no second-hand route into the range.
Who each suits
Fatbikes.nl
Who it suits
- Riders in the Netherlands and Belgium, where delivery covers NL and BE.
- Buyers who want fat-tire, folding or city frames with a removable battery, since fat tire, folding and city covers exactly those three.
- Shoppers prepared to buy outright, since finance is no and the entry price is €899.
Who should look elsewhere
- Kalkhoff, for riders after city, hybrid, step-through or eMTB frames, where its range reads city, hybrid and step through.
- Tern, for cargo and commuter duty, where its range reads cargo, commuter and folding.
- HK Beirui Trade Co., for a broader mix that pairs fat-tire and folding with commuter and eMTB models.
Ride Electric
Who it suits
- Riders who want the bike, the parts and the warranty handled by a single seller, with finance at the till.
- Australians who like trying a bike on a real street before committing, helped by a money-backed period of 7 days.
- Commuters happy with a throttle, since the top fat tyre model comes with one and sits in the EU 25 assist class.
Who should look elsewhere
- Tern riders after a cargo platform, since cargo, commuter and folding covers cargo and the Ride Electric range leaves that type out.
- Kalkhoff buyers, whose city, hybrid and step through range suits a rider who wants a single brand's frame rather than a multi-brand shelf.
- Riders outside Australia, since the market list is AU. HK Beirui Trade Co. carries the same commuter, folding and fat tire types, so it is worth a look for shelf coverage.

Questions about each
Fatbikes.nl
How much do the bikes cost?+
The catalogue runs from €899 at the entry bike to €1,499 at the top, so the spread between the cheapest and the dearest model is narrow. Bikes are bought outright rather than on a plan, so the entry figure is the full figure and nothing renews after the sale.
Can I pay in instalments?+
Finance is no, so there is no instalment or lease route through Fatbikes.nl. The full amount falls due at purchase, and with entry at €899 a buyer funds the whole bike at once or looks at another brand.
Ride Electric
What does the cheapest e-bike cost at Ride Electric?+
The entry price is AUD 1,299 for a bike from the shop's electric range, and the same range climbs to AUD 12,999 at the top. The gap between them is wide, so the model you pick matters more than the badge. Finance is available if you would rather not pay the entry figure in a single payment.
How far will a bike go on one charge?+
The largest pack listed, 960 Wh, sits on the fat tyre model at the top of the range, and its claimed range is 100 km. That figure is a specification claim, and a fat tyre bike on sand or mud draws more than a city bike on tarmac, so read it as a ceiling rather than a promise. Smaller packs sit below it across the rest of the range.
