Our verdict on each
Puckipuppy
Puckipuppy suits US and Canadian riders who want several body styles from one seller, from $699.99 at the entry model to $2,299.99 at the top. The trade-off is the 2 years frame warranty, so buyers who weight long structural cover should prefer a dealer brand.
Ride Electric
Ride Electric suits Australian riders who want a single shop for the bike, the parts and the warranty, with fat tyre models carrying en 15194 certification. A money-backed period of 7 days takes the pressure off a first purchase, and finance is available across the range.

Pros and cons
Puckipuppy
Pros
- One maker covers commuter, step through and folding, so a step-through commuter, a fat-tire and a folding bike can share the same seller and the same support.
- Prices start at $699.99 and stop at $2,299.99, so the span holds both a budget commuter and a higher spec machine.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, with phone and email listed alongside the help centre.
Cons
- Frame cover is 2 years, so a rider who buys to keep the bike for a long time is buying on a shorter structural promise.
- The money back window is 15 days, which gives a new owner little time to judge fit and range before returning.
- Sales run in US and CA, so a UK or European rider should start with Kalkhoff or Tern instead, where local supply is more likely.
Ride Electric
Pros
- Finance is available across the range, which matches 96.9% of brands on the site, so the entry price need not be paid in a single payment.
- A money-backed period of 7 days and a frame warranty of 3 years take the sting out of a first e-bike.
- The range spans commuter, road and city, so a commuter, a folding frame and a fat tyre model all come from the same counter.
Cons
- The top of the range is AUD 12,999, a long way above the AUD 1,299 entry point, so the spread inside a single shop is wide.
- Support runs on email, help centre and community only, so there is no phone line for a rider whose bike has stopped on the way home.
- The refurbished answer is no, so a buyer on a tight budget has no second-hand route into the range.
Who each suits
Puckipuppy
Who it suits
- US and Canadian riders buying direct, with US and CA as the covered area.
- People who want commuter, step through and folding from one seller rather than mixing shapes across brands.
- Price-first buyers who can live with the 2 years frame warranty and the 15 days return window.
Who should look elsewhere
- Cargo and long-load riders: Tern sells cargo, commuter and folding, and Puckipuppy's commuter, step through and folding leaves that shape out.
- Riders after a city or hybrid shop bike: Kalkhoff's city, hybrid and step through is aimed there.
- Buyers who weight a long frame warranty heavily, given the 2 years cover here.
Ride Electric
Who it suits
- Riders who want the bike, the parts and the warranty handled by a single seller, with finance at the till.
- Australians who like trying a bike on a real street before committing, helped by a money-backed period of 7 days.
- Commuters happy with a throttle, since the top fat tyre model comes with one and sits in the EU 25 assist class.
Who should look elsewhere
- Tern riders after a cargo platform, since cargo, commuter and folding covers cargo and the Ride Electric range leaves that type out.
- Kalkhoff buyers, whose city, hybrid and step through range suits a rider who wants a single brand's frame rather than a multi-brand shelf.
- Riders outside Australia, since the market list is AU. HK Beirui Trade Co. carries the same commuter, folding and fat tire types, so it is worth a look for shelf coverage.

Questions about each
Puckipuppy
How much does a Puckipuppy e-bike cost at the entry point?+
The cheapest listed model sits at $699.99, which is the price at entry rather than an introductory rate that changes later. The dearest model in the range is $2,299.99, so the span between the two figures is wide. Anyone comparing brands should hold the same entry and top figures for Kalkhoff and Tern before deciding.
Where does Puckipuppy sell and deliver?+
Puckipuppy sells into US and CA, so ordering and delivery are set up for those markets rather than a single home market. A rider elsewhere would need to check shipping and road rules for their own country, and a brand such as Kalkhoff or Tern may simply be easier to source locally.
Ride Electric
What does the cheapest e-bike cost at Ride Electric?+
The entry price is AUD 1,299 for a bike from the shop's electric range, and the same range climbs to AUD 12,999 at the top. The gap between them is wide, so the model you pick matters more than the badge. Finance is available if you would rather not pay the entry figure in a single payment.
How far will a bike go on one charge?+
The largest pack listed, 960 Wh, sits on the fat tyre model at the top of the range, and its claimed range is 100 km. That figure is a specification claim, and a fat tyre bike on sand or mud draws more than a city bike on tarmac, so read it as a ceiling rather than a promise. Smaller packs sit below it across the rest of the range.
