Our verdict on each
G-Force
G-Force suits budget riders who want a throttle and a large battery without moving upmarket, with fat-tire, cargo, folding and step-through models listed at $599 to $1,899. The trade-off is partner-run servicing and a short frame warranty, so read the terms before buying.
Helokeep
Helokeep suits US riders who want a single direct seller across cargo, mountain, folding, commuter and fat-tire shapes, with no dealer network in between. Entry pricing is $499, the priciest model reaches $1,999, and refunds run 30 days against battery cover of 0.25 years.

Pros and cons
G-Force
Pros
- Throttle and removable battery as standard, with a 3,120 Wh pack on the ZM PRO and a claimed 338 km of range.
- Hydraulic disc brakes and a 181 kg payload rating make the RS useful for heavy loads and rough ground.
- A 14 days money-back window plus finance available, so a bike near $1,899 is easier to justify.
Cons
- Frame and battery cover runs 1 year and 1 year, thin for a bike listed at $1,899.
- Servicing is arranged through partner shops rather than company workshops, so check local coverage first.
- Belt drive is not offered, so the chain wants regular cleaning after wet or muddy rides.
Helokeep
Pros
- A single seller covers cargo, mountain, folding, commuter, step-through and fat-tire shapes: cargo, emtb and step through.
- Entry pricing of $499 keeps a new e-bike purchase within reach.
- The cargo bike claims 241.4 km of range and takes 250 kg of load, and it has a throttle.
Cons
- Battery cover is 0.25 years against a frame warranty of 2 years, so the pack is the weak point of the policy.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre only, with no live chat or community forum among the listed channels.
- Shipping is listed for US alone, so riders outside that market have no stated delivery.
Who each suits
G-Force
Who it suits
- Riders on a budget who want a throttle and a big pack, with the RS and ZM PRO line starting at $599.
- Anyone moving loads or riding rough ground, given fat tire, cargo and folding in the catalogue and a 181 kg payload rating on the RS.
- Buyers in the United States, CA and GB who want the choice of ordering direct or through a dealer.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone after a mountain bike: Kalkhoff lists city, hybrid and step through, and the G-Force range of fat tire, cargo and folding leaves e-MTBs out.
- Riders who want a city and commuter line rather than fat-tire and cargo machines: Tern covers cargo, commuter and folding.
- Buyers wanting fat-tire alongside commuter and e-MTB options from one maker: HK BEIRUI TRADE CO. lists commuter, folding and fat tire.
Helokeep
Who it suits
- US riders who want cargo or mountain shapes from a single direct seller.
- Commuters who want a long claimed range on the cargo bike alongside a 30 days refund window.
- Buyers who want a folding bike and a cargo bike in the same catalogue rather than across brands.
Who should look elsewhere
- Tern buyers, who want a dedicated maker of cargo, commuter and folding rather than a broad direct catalogue.
- Kalkhoff buyers, who want city, hybrid and step through from a brand that is not a direct-only seller.
- Riders keeping an e-bike for years without battery worries, since battery cover is 0.25 years.

Questions about each
G-Force
How much does a G-Force e-bike cost?+
Prices run $599 to $1,899 across the range, and G-FORCE RS, G-FORCE RS ST, G-FORCE ZM PRO, G-FORCE DE-S are the reference bikes. That entry point puts G-Force at 32 of 149 brands on lowest price, while the top of the range sits at 48 of 145. Entry is competitive; the ceiling sits higher.
Which models does G-Force sell?+
The catalogue covers fat tire, cargo and folding, with G-FORCE RS, G-FORCE RS ST, G-FORCE ZM PRO, G-FORCE DE-S as the reference models. Motor setup is consistent across the line: hub drive from a bafang motor rated at 750 W, with a throttle on board. The RS and RS ST take heavy loads, the ZM PRO carries the biggest battery, and the DE-S is the step-through.
Helokeep
What does a Helokeep e-bike cost at the entry point?+
Helokeep sells direct, and the entry price is $499. The priciest bike in the catalogue reaches $1,999, so the gap between the cheapest and the top end is wide. Riders pay a purchase price once, and nothing on the bike is set to renew afterwards.
Is there a subscription or renewal fee to pay after buying?+
No subscription sits behind the purchase. Bikes are bought outright, so the $499 entry point is what you pay at the point of sale and nothing renews later. The only ongoing commitments are servicing and the warranty, with frame cover of 2 years and battery cover of 0.25 years.
