Our verdict
Samebike suits riders in the EU who want several bike types from one maker without stretching the budget: prices run €659 to €1,499 and finance is offered. The trade-off sits in the cover, with 3 years on the frame, 1 year on the battery and a 14 days money back window.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Bikes start at €659 against a market median entry of €919.93, and Samebike ranks at 41 of 149 brands on entry price.
- The top of the range is €1,499, still under the €2,147.68 market midpoint.
- Finance is offered, so a €1,499 top of the range can be spread rather than paid in one go.
- RS-A01 Pro, STORM, CY20 cover commuter, folding and fat tire categories, so one maker covers most shortlist shapes.
- Removable battery, mechanical disc and hydraulic disc brakes and a 150 kg payload limit make the bikes practical for loaded riding.
Cons
- Battery cover is 1 year against 3 years on the frame, which is the weakest part of the cover.
- Support runs on email and phone only, so there is no walk-in repair desk behind the brand.
- Sales run both, so the shop floor is not the main buying route.
- Listed motor output of 250 W nominal sits under the market median of 500 W.

Scored 9.2 / 10 by CommuteCue.
Who it suits
- EU buyers who want a fat-tire STORM or an eMTB covered by AT, BE and BG
- Riders replacing a bike every few seasons who value the 14 days money back window
- Commuters carrying gear who need the 150 kg payload limit
Who should look elsewhere
- Riders who want cargo carrying, since Tern covers cargo, commuter and folding while Samebike lists commuter, folding and fat tire
- Buyers after a city or step-through frame, since Kalkhoff covers city, hybrid and step through
- Long warranty seekers who weigh up against Kalkhoff, since battery cover is only 1 year
Where it sits among rivals
Samebike enters the market at €659 and tops out at €1,499. On entry price that places it at position 41 of 149 brands, and on the top of the range at position 41 of 145. Neither position sits at the very bottom of the field or near the top, so a buyer narrowing a shortlist by price meets it early. What a rank does not show is how the money is spread inside the range, which is the part worth weighing against Kalkhoff and Tern rather than a single entry figure.
Pricing
Prices run €659 to €1,499. The entry figure sits below the market median of €919.93, and the top of the range sits below the €2,147.68 median, so the catalogue is priced in the lower and middle bands rather than across the whole spread. The gap between the two ends is the widest part of the offer, and it is worth checking which model in RS-A01 Pro, STORM, CY20 sits where before comparing like for like with Kalkhoff or Tern.
What it does well
Batteries top out at 960 Wh on the STORM, and a removable battery is standard, so charging does not depend on a socket beside the frame. The listed claimed range is 140 km, and a 150 kg payload limit keeps loaded panniers and a child seat within spec. Warranty cover splits at 3 years on the frame and 1 year on the battery, which is the line most worth reading twice before ordering. A 14 days money back period follows the order, and finance is offered for buyers who would rather spread the cost of the upper €1,499 models.

Frequently asked questions
What does a Samebike e-bike cost?+
Prices run €659 to €1,499 across RS-A01 Pro, STORM, CY20. The entry figure sits below the market median of €919.93, and the top of the range sits below the €2,147.68 median, so the catalogue sits in the lower and middle bands. Finance is offered if the higher figures are awkward in one payment.
How far do the bikes go on a charge?+
The listed claimed range is 140 km, and batteries top out at 960 Wh on the STORM. Claimed figures move with rider weight, terrain and assist level, so treat that number as a ceiling rather than a daily figure. A removable battery makes topping up away from home straightforward.
Which markets does Samebike ship to?+
Shipping covers AT, BE and BG, a wide EU footprint, and the assist class listed for the range is EU 25. Support runs on email and phone, so an order placed in any of those markets can be queried by email or phone. Local rules still decide where a bike of that class may be ridden.
What warranty comes with a Samebike bike?+
The frame is covered for 3 years and the battery for 1 year, so the pack is the shorter of the two terms and the figure to check against your expected ownership period. Orders also carry a 14 days money back window for the early days after delivery.
Can you pay for a Samebike bike in instalments?+
Finance is offered, which matters most on the higher priced models. A purchase at the €1,499 end of the range is the case where spreading the cost changes the decision most, while the €659 end is easier to pay outright. The terms themselves depend on the offer shown at checkout.
Can you ride one before buying?+
Sales run both, so you can buy direct or through a dealer, and a shop visit lets you size the frame and look at the brake setup, listed as mechanical disc and hydraulic disc. Buying direct suits riders who already know the model they want from RS-A01 Pro, STORM, CY20.
What can you carry on one?+
The listed payload limit is 150 kg, which covers loaded panniers and a child seat. Paired with the removable battery, that makes the bikes practical for errands as well as commuting. The commuter, folding and fat tire list also includes fat-tire and eMTB options for rougher routes.
How do I get help after buying?+
Support runs on email and phone, so a question about an order can go by email or phone. Warranty work is the point at which the 3 years frame term matters most, since the battery term is 1 year. The 14 days money back period covers faults found soon after delivery.
