Our verdict
Philodo eBikes suits US riders who want throttle power, a large battery and a wide choice of frames, and it is priced from $1,299 for the range. The catch is the length of cover, with frame and battery warranty set at 1 year and shipping reaching US only.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Direct sales across one band from $1,299 to $1,599, with finance available, so the outlay is clear before the buy.
- Throttle assist rather than pedal assist alone, which suits riders who meet hills with tired legs.
- A 1,920 Wh battery and a claimed range of 80 to 161 km on the Falcon, which puts the range figures near the top of this tier.
- Hydraulic hydraulic disc brakes and ul 2849 certification, so the stopping kit and the battery standard are settled at purchase.
- A payload of 204 kg makes these workhorses for errands, deliveries and a passenger.
Cons
- Frame and battery warranty both sit at 1 year, with the 30-day money back window as the only cushion behind that.
- Shipping reaches US, so riders elsewhere meet a delivery problem before they meet the bike.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre and the bikes are sold direct, so a fault means dealing with the maker rather than a local shop.
- The range covers step through and fat tire, which leaves cargo, folding and e-mtb buyers looking at Tern or Kalkhoff.

Scored 9.1 / 10 by CommuteCue.
Who it suits
- Riders in US who want throttle power rather than pedal assist alone, with 1,920 Wh behind it.
- Households with heavy errands or deliveries to run, since the payload of 204 kg covers both and a passenger.
- Buyers who prefer dealing with the maker straight away, since Philodo sells direct and offers finance.
Who should look elsewhere
- Riders after a city, hybrid or e-mtb frame, since Kalkhoff builds those alongside step-through while Philodo stays with step through and fat tire.
- Households that need to carry loads or fold a bike into a flat, since Tern focuses on cargo, commuter and folding, none of which sit inside step through and fat tire.
Core features
Throttle is fitted, so the bikes move without pedalling once the rider asks for it. The battery is the headline number: 1,920 Wh with a claimed range of 80 to 161 km on the Falcon, and that claim is a ceiling rather than a promise, since load, speed and hills all cut into it. The chassis is built for work as well as leisure, with a maximum payload of 204 kg for shopping, deliveries and a passenger. The leaner side is the cover. The frame warranty and the battery warranty both sit at 1 year, a short window on a machine with a pack that size, and a 30-day money back period is the cushion behind it. Finance is available, so the cash price is not the only route to one of these bikes.
Plans and prices
The range runs from $1,299 at the entry bike to $1,599 at the top, and the money goes on hardware: a throttle, a large battery and hydraulic braking rather than a light frame or a mid-drive motor. The fat tyre dual motor bike and the Falcon full suspension bike sit at the wide end of that band, with the Forester full suspension bike and the STARX mid-drive dirt bike covering the middle. Every bike is sold direct, and finance sits on top of the cash price, which spreads the payment rather than lowering the ticket. There is no membership tier or annual fee, so the purchase is the whole cost until a repair or a battery comes due.
How it compares on our data
Ranked on entry price, Philodo sits at 86 out of 149, so the lower priced group is the larger one. At the top of the range the picture flips: 39 out of 145 places the priciest Philodo bike in a small upper group, close to where buyers start weighing brand service rather than specification. Read together, the two numbers describe a narrow range parked at the expensive end of the value tier, which is the trade-off in one line: a higher ticket, more hardware on it.
The company behind it
Philodo eBikes trades as Philodo Bikes Inc and sells direct, so the ticket is set by the maker rather than a dealer network and there is no shop to visit before the sale. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, which covers the questions that matter most after a delivery this size: a battery that will not hold charge, a spare part to track down, a warranty claim to settle. The help centre takes the written ones, the community boards carry the rest, and phone support covers cases that need a person on the other end. The trade-off is that all of it runs through the maker, so a problem is sorted by post rather than by riding into a shop, which suits owners used to handling a brand directly.

Frequently asked questions
What does a Philodo e-bike cost to buy?+
Prices run from $1,299 at the entry bike and reach $1,599 at the top, so the whole range sits inside one band. Bikes are sold direct rather than through dealers, and finance is offered, so the entry figure can be spread across payments rather than paid in a single sum.
Is there a subscription or renewal price after the purchase?+
The outlay is the purchase price and nothing recurs after it, so there is no renewal figure to weigh against entry. The only later line to plan for is battery work once the 1 year battery warranty has run out, which matches the 1 year cover on the frame.
How far does one charge actually take you?+
The claimed range runs 80 to 161 km on the Falcon, and that is a ceiling rather than a promise. A 1,920 Wh battery sits behind it, while load, tyre pressure, hills and throttle use all cut into the figure. Budget on the lower end of the range for everyday riding.
Can these bikes be ridden in the US?+
Shipping runs to US, and the assist class is us class 2, which sits inside what US rules allow for a throttle bicycle. A throttle is fitted, so the bike moves without pedalling up to the class limit, and the market limits where the bike can be bought rather than the class you can ride it in.
What warranty and returns come with the bike?+
Both the frame and the battery carry a warranty of 1 year, and a 30-day money back period sits on top of that. The money back window is the practical safety net for an early ride, since the warranty itself is brief relative to the size of the battery and the battery is the part most likely to matter later.
How do I get help after buying?+
Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so questions can go to the help centre, by email, by phone or through the community boards. Because the bikes are sold direct, the maker is the whole support relationship, which suits owners happy to post issues and track parts rather than ride into a shop.
Is finance offered on these bikes?+
Finance is available and it applies to the purchase price rather than a subscription, so the total stays the same and the timing of payments is what changes. Set it against the 30-day money back window: if the bike goes back inside that period, check how the finance agreement handles the refund before signing.
Can these bikes carry luggage or a passenger?+
The maximum payload is 204 kg, which covers heavy shopping, a rack full of kit or a passenger on the rear. A 1,920 Wh pack still has range in hand under that load, though the claimed range of 80 to 161 km shrinks once the bike is loaded.
What bike shapes are on offer?+
The range covers step through and fat tire, so the choice is between a step-through frame and a fat tyre build, with the Falcon and Forester full suspension bikes plus the fat tyre dual motor model in the line. If you need a cargo, folding or e-mtb shape, Tern and Kalkhoff both cover frames Philodo does not build.
