Our verdict

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

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.
  • A removable battery is listed, which suits flats, offices and shared bikes, and a belt drive model is in the range for riders who mind chain grease.
  • The priciest listed bike, at €3,199.95, sits below €3,506.97 across the brands on the site, so the top of the range is not an outlier.

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.
  • The listed power figure is 250 W, under the site median of 500 W, so steep climbs and heavy loads lean on the rider.

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.

How it compares on our data

On price from, Prophete sits at position 93 of 149 brands. On price to, the position is 101 of 145. Each of those places the brand in the dearer part of the field rather than the bargain end, and the closeness of the two positions tells you the range is priced consistently from model to model. Read that as a single signal: if you are comparing on sticker price alone, Prophete will not win, so the case for it has to rest on what the money buys.

Core features

Batteries across the bike range top out at 799.9 Wh, and a removable battery is listed, which matters for flats, offices and shared bikes. One listed model carries a claimed range of 220 km, a manufacturer's figure rather than a promise. Weight says what kind of bike you are buying: the lightest bike listed still sits at 17.6 kg, so this is a range you ride rather than carry. The reason to look twice is the load carriers, because the cargo and longtail models take a payload of 200 kg. A belt drive model is in the range for riders who wear clothes they mind marking, and finance is offered so the entry price can be spread over time instead of paid in full.

Plans and prices

Prophete's prices are purchase prices for the bike rather than a subscription, so what you read at entry is what you pay. The cheapest model listed, the Hansa by Prophete, costs €1,149.95, and that is the sum on the day you buy. The priciest listed bike, a cargo model, runs to €3,199.95. Because these are purchase prices, the entry figure and the figure you hold later are the same number, with no renewal step that changes it. The spread between those ends shows how much the range moves as you step up in model type, and the mid-range models sit inside it.

The company behind it

The brand is sold by Prophete In Moving GmbH, based in Germany. Service for the bike is handled in house rather than handed out to dealers, and support runs through email, phone and help centre, so there is a named company in a named country behind the warranty rather than an anonymous marketplace listing. For a rider in Germany that is convenient and cheap to sort out. For a rider further out, the distance to that base is the practical question, and it is worth settling before you order rather than after.

Frequently asked questions

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.

What motor and assist class do the bikes use?+

The listed model runs a mid motor at a nominal power of 250 W, with an assist class of EU 25, the European category. Brakes across the range are hydraulic disc and rim. A mid motor feels planted on climbs and under load, so it suits hilly routes and cargo work better than a hub motor would.

Can a bike carry children and shopping?+

Yes, if you pick a cargo or longtail model. Prophete lists city, commuter and hybrid, and those two types are built for loads, with a maximum payload of 200 kg stated for the cargo range. That covers a weekly shop, a laptop and a small child. A city bike will not take the same, so choose by the load rather than by the look.

Who services the bike, and can I buy spare parts?+

Service is handled in house, with service network own, and a spare parts shop is available, so wear parts and repairs stay with the company that built the bike. That is reassuring for a rider in Germany. Anyone further out should check the travel distance before buying.

Can I pay in instalments instead of upfront?+

Finance is offered, so the entry price of €1,149.95 can be split rather than paid in full at the counter. Ask for the total amount repayable, not only the monthly figure, and read the terms if you settle early or hand the bike back. Finance moves the money; it rarely cuts the total.

Is the battery removable, and is there a belt drive model?+

A removable battery is listed, which is the practical choice for flats, offices and shared bikes, and a belt drive model sits in the range too. Belt drive suits riders who wear clothes they mind marking, because it keeps chain grease off. Both are listed rather than standard, so confirm them on the specific model.

Does Prophete sell e-scooters, and where are they road legal?+

The scooter line is listed as a kick scooter that folds, with a top speed of 20 km/h and a road legal market of de. Scooter rules differ by country, so a model that is fine in Germany may not be legal or insured elsewhere. Treat it as a local purchase rather than something to take abroad.

How heavy is the lightest bike?+

The lightest e-bike listed still weighs 17.6 kg, so this is a range you ride rather than carry. The kick-scooters come in far lighter at 17.5 kg, which suits a train platform or a small car boot. If your commute involves stairs or a carriage, check the weight of the exact model before ordering.

How do I reach help if something goes wrong?+

Support runs through email, phone and help centre, so you have email, a help centre and a phone line rather than a single channel. Having a phone number matters when a fault stops you riding. The company behind the brand is Prophete In Moving GmbH in Germany, which is who to deal with if a warranty claim stalls.
