Our verdict on each
Hiboy
Hiboy suits commuters who want a fat-tire or step-through e-bike with a throttle and a removable battery, and who are happy to buy and service through one company. E-bike prices sit at CAD 1,142.99 and CAD 1,349.99, with a 1 year frame warranty behind them.
Thousand
Thousand suits city riders who want a helmet that does more than sit on your head, with integrated lights and crash replacement built in. It is the pricier pick here at $59.95, so riders on a tight budget would do better at Bern.

Pros and cons
Hiboy
Pros
- Throttle and a removable battery are both present, so a rider can pull away from a standstill and carry the pack indoors to charge.
- A claimed range of 120 km on a 720 Wh battery gives fat-tire riders usable distance between charges.
- Hiboy services in-house and runs a spare parts shop, which narrows the gap on dealer-led rivals such as Kalkhoff.
Cons
- Support runs on email, help centre and community, so buyers with a fault get written answers and a help centre rather than a phone line.
- The lightest bike still weighs 29 kg, so the folding models suit a car boot more than a stairwell.
- Crash replacement is not part of the policy, so a written-off bike is not swapped out.
Thousand
Pros
- Integrated lights are built in, so you ride home lit without carrying a separate lamp and charger.
- Crash replacement is included, which softens the cost of a fall on a busy commute.
- The helmet is certified to cpsc and en 1078, covering standards used in the United States and Europe.
Cons
- Thousand is the pricier of the three: $59.95 against Bern at $44.50 and Lumos at $9.95.
- Support runs on email and help centre only, and phone support is more common across the brands here, at 67.2%.
- Fit is limited to S, M, L, so a rider outside that range has to look at another brand.
Who each suits
Hiboy
Who it suits
- Riders who want a fat-tire bike with a throttle and a removable battery, and who value one company handling sales and servicing.
- Commuters who would rather spread the cost than pay CAD 1,142.99 in one go.
- Shoppers who want bikes, a kick-scooter and a lock from the same seller.
Who should look elsewhere
- Kalkhoff buyers after hybrid or emtb frames, since those sit outside Hiboy's commuter, city and step through.
- Tern riders carrying cargo, because cargo is not among Hiboy's commuter, city and step through.
Thousand
Who it suits
- City riders who ride home after dark and would rather not carry a separate lamp.
- Commuters on busier roads who would rather have crash replacement included than shop for it separately.
- Riders who want one model with a spread of sizes rather than a range of separate helmets.
Who should look elsewhere
- Budget riders, who will pay less at Bern from $44.50 or Lumos from $9.95.
- Riders who want a phone line, since Thousand support runs on email and help centre only.
- Riders whose head size falls outside S, M, L, who will need another brand.

Questions about each
Hiboy
What does a Hiboy e-bike cost?+
The e-bike range opens at CAD 1,142.99 and closes at CAD 1,349.99. That band is narrow, so the commuter, step-through and fat-tire models sit inside one price bracket rather than spanning cheap to premium. Finance is offered, which spreads the entry figure over time.
Can I pay for a Hiboy bike in instalments?+
Finance is offered across the electric bike collection, so the purchase can be split rather than settled up front. The amount follows the same entry and top prices, CAD 1,142.99 and CAD 1,349.99, so choosing a cheaper model finances a smaller sum over the same period.
Thousand
How much does a Thousand helmet cost?+
Thousand helmets start at $59.95, which is the entry price for the range. Bern starts at $44.50 and Lumos at $9.95, so a lower spend is available elsewhere, and Thousand asks more for what is built into the helmet.
Does the helmet come with a light?+
Yes, integrated lights are part of the helmet, so you do not need to buy and charge a separate front lamp. That is the main reason to pay over the $59.95 starting price, since the light sits in the shell rather than being an accessory you fit later.
