Pros and cons
myebikes.com
Pros
- Entry price of €761.59 compares well with the site price from median €876.09.
- Mid-drive Bosch and Shimano motors at 250 W nominal power, sold in the EU 25 assist class.
- Removable batteries throughout, with capacity of 625 Wh and claimed range of 160 km.
Cons
- Throttle is absent from the whole range, so riders who want power without pedalling find nothing here.
- Return shipping of €99 applies inside a 14 days money-back window, so changing your mind is not free.
- Refurbished bikes are not sold, so a shopper on a tight budget has new stock only.
Tern
Pros
- One maker covers cargo, commuter and folding, so a household can run a cargo bike, a commuter and a folder without changing brands.
- The cargo bike pairs a battery of 1,600 Wh with a claimed range of 288 km, driven by a bosch motor.
- A payload of 210 kg on that cargo bike carries shopping and school kit in a single trip.
Cons
- The lightest bike listed is 22.8 kg, so stairs and platform lifts work against these machines.
- Buying runs through dealers, dealer, so the entry price is set shop by shop rather than by the maker.
- Servicing is handled by a partner network, so a repair depends on which partner covers your area.
Who each suits
myebikes.com
Who it suits
- Riders in DE who want a mid-drive with hydraulic disc brakes and would rather not visit a shop in person.
- Commuters who want several brands under one roof, with 8 brands stocked and support on email, phone and help centre.
- Buyers who want finance on a higher priced model and a 14 days window to change their mind.
Who should look elsewhere
- Riders who need cargo capacity should look at Tern, whose bike types include cargo and commuter designs this shop does not list.
- Anyone after fat-tire bikes should compare HK BEIRUI TRADE CO., which lists fat-tire alongside commuter and folding.
- Buyers who want a step-through city and hybrid focus from a single maker should look at Kalkhoff, whose bike types centre on city, hybrid and step-through frames.
Tern
Who it suits
- Households that need a payload, since the cargo bike is rated to 210 kg for shopping and children in one trip.
- Riders who want the drive in the frame rather than a wheel, with listed placement of mid on a bosch unit.
- Daily riders who want hydraulic braking, since brakes listed for the range are hydraulic disc.
Who should look elsewhere
- Riders after fat tyre or eMTB shapes, where HK Beirui Trade Co. covers fat-tire and eMTB through commuter, folding and fat tire and Tern lists cargo, commuter and folding.
- Buyers wanting city, hybrid and step-through frames, which Kalkhoff lists in city, hybrid and step through while Tern's range is cargo, commuter and folding.
- Riders on town and step-through trips rather than loads, since iSinwheel's commuter, city and step through adds city, step-through and eMTB alongside commuter and folding.

myebikes.com
How much do the bikes cost?+
Prices start at €761.59 and run to €2,399.90 across the range, so the distance between the cheapest and the dearest model is wide. A commuter buying once for a daily trip has room to take a mid-drive model at the lower end, or spend more further up for a folding frame or a belt drive version.
How far does the battery go on a charge?+
Claimed range reaches 160 km on the strongest figures listed, and the largest battery offered is 625 Wh. Neither figure is an independent measurement, so treat it as an upper bound and plan a shorter daily ride. Batteries are removable, so charging indoors is straightforward and a spare pack can be carried.
