Our verdict
Mangosteen suits riders who want fat-tire grip and a removable battery at the low end of the price range, priced from €488. The catch is what sits around it: a narrow fat tire line-up, direct-only sales and a battery warranty of 1.5 years.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Entry price of €488 sits under the €876.09 typical of brands listed here
- Removable battery and a throttle make top-ups and standing starts easy on the listed models
- Hydraulic disc brakes, tubeless tires and suspension are standard fittings rather than paid extras
- Spare parts can be bought direct, with support by email and phone
Cons
- Sales run direct, so a test ride or workshop visit has to be arranged with the company itself
- Finance is not offered, so the full €3,999.99 has to be paid up front
- Support runs on email and phone only, with no chat or help centre listed
- Warranty cover is short: 1 year on the frame and 1.5 years on the battery
Who it suits
- Riders on sand, snow or rough tracks who want fat tires without a premium price
- Commuters who can charge a removable battery indoors and want a throttle for stop starts
- Buyers who would rather order online and fit parts themselves than visit a dealer
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting a dealer-supported test ride, as sales run direct
- Kalkhoff buyers who want city, hybrid, step-through or eMTB shapes rather than fat tire only
- Tern riders who need cargo, commuter or folding formats, none of which Mangosteen lists
Pricing
Mangosteen opens at €488 and tops out at €3,999.99, covering the models listed as FT02, FT03, M1P. The entry point sits below the €876.09 typical of the brands in this ranking, and below the €799.93 seen among fat-tire rivals. The ceiling is the part to watch, and it lands well above the €2,299 across listed brands. Between those two figures sits a wide spread of models, so the same name can be a budget buy or a costly one. Money back is offered for 30 days, which covers a change of mind on a direct purchase.
What it does well
The fat-tire model pairs a throttle with a removable battery, so riders can start away from lights and carry the pack indoors. Range is claimed at 105 km, and the battery reaches 1,080 Wh. Weight is listed from 41.3 kg, with a payload ceiling of 120 kg for heavier riders and loads. Brakes are hydraulic disc. Cover runs for 1 year on the frame and 1.5 years on the battery, and money back applies for 30 days. Finance is not offered, so the purchase has to be funded in full at the point of sale.
Where it sits among rivals
On entry price, Mangosteen ranks 27 among 149 brands, placing it towards the cheaper end of the field. On the top price the position changes to 115 of 145, so the range spans a wide spread of budgets. That gap between the two positions is the clearest thing about this brand: cheap to walk into, capable of costing considerably more at the top of the range.
Who runs it
Mangosteen is sold direct, and the trading entity behind it is MULBERRIES TECHNOLOGY LIMITED, based in Hong Kong. Buyers reach the company through email and phone, which covers email and phone. A direct model keeps pricing simple and spare parts available, but it also means most servicing questions go to the company rather than a local workshop.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Mangosteen e-bike cost?+
Prices run from €488 up to €3,999.99 across the models named as FT02, FT03, M1P. The entry figure sits below the €876.09 typical across listed brands, so the cheaper models are priced well below the field. Cost rises steeply toward €3,999.99 at the top of the range.
What is the cheapest way to buy and does the price change later?+
Bikes are sold direct from the company, with money back offered for 30 days. The figures published are the prices at entry; finance is not offered, so there is no instalment plan to weigh against a later balance. Compare the entry price of €488 with the €1,314.57 upper quartile if you are shopping higher in the range.
Is finance available at Mangosteen?+
Finance is not offered, which leaves the purchase to be paid in full at the point of sale. That makes the entry price of €488 the real cash outlay, and it means the top of the range at €3,999.99 has to be funded outright. Worth settling early if the model you want sits near the upper end.
How far does the battery go and can I take it out?+
The battery is removable, and range is claimed at 105 km on one of the fat-tire models. Capacity reaches 1,080 Wh. Taking the pack indoors for charging is straightforward with a removable battery, which suits riders without a garage or outdoor socket.
Is the bike road legal in my country?+
The listed bikes sit in the EU 25 assist class, which is the European standard. That fits riders in the EU and the UK; check the class required in your own country before buying. A licence or registration scheme is not listed for this brand, so local rules apply per model.
How long is the warranty and what support do I get?+
Cover runs for 1 year on the frame and 1.5 years on the battery, which is short next to longer frame terms elsewhere in this group. Support runs on email and phone, so email and phone only, with no chat or help centre listed. Spare parts are sold direct through the company's own shop.
Can I test ride before buying?+
Sales run direct, so there is no dealer network to visit for a test ride or workshop visit. Everything happens online, with email and phone as the contact route and spare parts ordered from the same shop. Riders who prefer to try a bike in person would be better served by a dealer-backed brand.
How heavy is it and what can it carry?+
Weight is listed from 41.3 kg, and the bike type is fat tire, so the wide tires explain the mass. Payload reaches 120 kg, which covers heavier riders and loaded commutes. Brakes are hydraulic disc, and a throttle makes launches out of junctions easier.
