Our verdict
PIXAR Bikes suits commuters who want a full range of e-bike types at entry prices around €749, sold direct and through partners. The trade-off is servicing and aftercare: the frame carries a 2 year warranty, and repair work runs through partners.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Entry at €749 sits below the €876.09 typical price across the brands compared, making it one of the cheaper ways into an e-bike
- Four bike types in city, folding and fat tire cover city, folding, fat tire and hybrid riding, wider than Tern's cargo, commuter and folding
- A removable battery and a claimed range of 240 km on the top listed model suit daily commuting and shared household charging
- Finance is available, which sits alongside the 95.8% share of brands offering it
- Returns run for 14 days, and support reaches you on email, phone and help centre
Cons
- Service work runs through a partner network, so repairs depend on partner servicing rather than in house support
- Battery cover is 1 year against a 2 year frame warranty, the shorter of the two
- The top model has no belt drive, and prices reach €1,299, so the top of the range is above the €2,299 typical maximum
- Hub motor position with Bafang parts is less common on premium city bikes such as those from Kalkhoff
Who it suits
- Commuters on a budget who want several bike types under one brand, since city, folding and fat tire includes city, folding, fat tire and hybrid
- Riders in EU markets including the UK, where PIXAR Bikes ships and finance is offered
- Households sharing one bike, since the battery is removable for separate charging
Who should look elsewhere
- Riders who want in house servicing and dealer support rather than partner based partner work
- Buyers wanting belt drive, which the top model does not have, or a mid drive motor instead of the hub unit here
Plans and prices
PIXAR Bikes sells four named models listed in Cruiser, C1 Pro, Forge, M9, covering city, folding, fat tire and hybrid use as set out in city, folding and fat tire. Entry sits at €749 and the top of the range reaches €1,299. That entry point places the brand below the €876.09 price most brands in the comparison start from, while the upper price stays under the €2,299 typical maximum. Finance is offered, so the entry model can be spread into payments rather than paid in one go. The spread between the two figures is where the choice sits: the lower price buys the city bike, the higher one buys the fat tire and folding shapes that carry bigger motors and batteries.
How it compares on our data
Ranked on entry price, PIXAR Bikes places 48 among 149 brands, which puts the €749 starting figure in the cheaper part of the field. On the upper price the rank shifts to 26 among 145 brands, so €1,299 reaches further into the higher end than the entry figure suggests. The reason is the range of types in city, folding and fat tire: a brand covering city, folding, fat tire and hybrid models needs a wider price band than one built around a single shape, such as Kalkhoff with its city, hybrid and step through or Tern with its cargo, commuter and folding.
Core features
The top model in Cruiser, C1 Pro, Forge, M9 carries a throttle and a battery reaching 1,680 Wh, with a claimed range of 240 km and a removable battery for charging away from the bike. It has no belt drive, and a payload ceiling of 350 kg suits heavier loads. Weight starts at 26.4 kg, a figure that matters if the bike goes up stairs or into a train. Cover runs 2 years on the frame and 1 year on the battery, and returns are open for 14 days. Finance is available on the range.
The company behind it
PIXAR Bikes has been trading since 2013, and the bikes are sold both direct and through partners. Buyers can reach the company by email, phone or a help centre, as listed in email, phone and help centre, which covers the questions that come up after delivery as well as before it. Contact runs from BE, NL and AT, so the same support channels apply across the EU and the UK.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a PIXAR Bikes e-bike cost?+
The range starts at €749 and runs to €1,299 across the models listed in Cruiser, C1 Pro, Forge, M9. That entry price sits below the €876.09 starting figure across the brands compared here, so the cheapest bike is among the more affordable ways in. Finance is available if a single payment is too much.
What is the cheapest PIXAR Bikes model?+
The city bike anchors the entry price of €749, and the top of the range reaches €1,299 across Cruiser, C1 Pro, Forge, M9. Because city, folding and fat tire covers city, folding, fat tire and hybrid shapes, the price gap between the cheapest and dearest bike reflects different frame shapes rather than trim levels on one model.
Where can I buy and get support for a PIXAR Bikes e-bike?+
PIXAR Bikes sells both direct and through partners, and the bikes ship across BE, NL and AT in the EU plus the UK. Support comes on email, phone and help centre, so email, phone and a help centre cover setup questions and later problems. Service work is handled through a partner network rather than in house.
What warranty and returns does PIXAR Bikes offer?+
The frame is covered for 2 years and the battery for 1 year, so the battery carries the shorter cover. Returns are accepted for 14 days from delivery, which gives time to judge a bike on real commutes. Wear on parts is handled separately from these two periods.
Is the battery removable and how far can the bikes go?+
The battery is removable, so it can be charged indoors or swapped between two bikes in the same household. On the top model the claimed range is 240 km and the battery reaches 1,680 Wh, which pairs with a payload ceiling of 350 kg for heavier loads. Weight starts at 26.4 kg.
What motor and assist do PIXAR Bikes use?+
The bikes use a hub motor from Bafang rated at 250 W, sitting in the EU 25 assist class. The top model adds a throttle for pull away starts, and braking runs to hydraulic disc and mechanical disc. A hub motor and a chain rather than a belt drive shape the ride and the servicing parts.
Is a PIXAR Bikes e-bike road legal in the UK?+
The bikes carry en 15194 certification and the assist class is EU 25, which is the European standard rather than a US class. Shipping covers the UK and the EU markets listed in Belgium, NL and AT, so UK buyers buy on the European specification. A throttle on the top model adds power on demand, so local rules on that are worth checking.
