Our verdict on each
Lectric Ebikes
Lectric eBikes suits riders who want a wide choice of e-bike shapes at a low entry price, with fees from $799. The catch is coverage: the brand lists US and CA for shipping and a frame warranty of 1 year, so plan around that.
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
Lectric Ebikes
Pros
- Fees start at $799, among the lower entry points in the e-bike category.
- The range covers commuter, city and step through, from folding to cargo and fat tire.
- A throttle is fitted, so power on demand does not depend on pedalling input.
Cons
- Shipping is limited to US and CA, so anyone outside those markets is buying without a listed delivery route.
- Warranty cover is thin: 1 year on the frame and 1 year on the battery.
- Repairs run through a partner network rather than an in house team, so servicing depends on third parties.
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
Lectric Ebikes
Who it suits
- Riders on a firm budget who want the widest spread of bike shapes from one brand, from a 21.8 kg folding model to a cargo bike rated to 204 kg.
- Commuters who prefer a own motor, since hub placement is what the range is built around.
- Anyone comfortable buying in US and CA and dealing with a partner repair network for servicing.
Who should look elsewhere
- Riders in US and CA who need delivery outside those markets, since that is the full listed coverage.
- Buyers who want long cover, since the frame warranty runs 1 year.
- People who want servicing in house rather than through a partner network.
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
Lectric Ebikes
What does a Lectric eBikes cost at the entry and the top of the range?+
Bikes start at $799 and the top of the range sits at $1,999. Entry pricing is the stronger side: the brand ranks 43 of 149 on price from, while the top model ranks 54 of 145 on price to. Expect to pay more for the long range, dual battery version.
How far can the range go on one charge?+
The long range dual battery model claims 273.6 km and carries a battery of 1,680 Wh, the largest listed. Real range will vary with load, terrain and assist level, so treat that figure as a ceiling rather than a daily expectation on a commute.
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.
