Our verdict on each
Tenways
Tenways suits European commuters who want a mid-drive e-bike with a belt option, a removable battery and a cargo choice at the top, without paying flagship money. Entry pricing of €1,199 sits close to the market median, and the frame warranty runs 5 years. Service is partner based, so check a local workshop before committing.
Windhorse
Windhorse suits riders in the US and Canada who want a cheap e-bike bought direct from the maker, with a throttle on the top model. Entry sits at $299, and the range-topping bike claims 104.6 km with support on email, phone and help centre. Service runs in-house rather than through dealers.

Pros and cons
Tenways
Pros
- The line spans commuter, city, hybrid, step-through, cargo and longtail types, so one maker covers most daily riding.
- Belt drive is part of the range, which suits riders who want a chain-free drivetrain.
- Removable batteries and hydraulic disc brakes both feature across the line.
Cons
- Support runs on email, help centre and community only, so there is no phone line for a bike that needs a workshop.
- Service runs on a partner network, so a local Tenways workshop is not guaranteed in every market.
- The top of the range, €4,999, sits well above the €2,191.53 typical ceiling for commuter e-bikes.
Windhorse
Pros
- Entry price of $299 on the entry urban commuter sits among the lowest in the cheap e-bike group, at position 4 of 149 brands on entry price.
- The range-topping model pairs a throttle with a removable battery and a claimed range of 104.6 km.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, and the company ships to US and CA.
Cons
- Service runs through the company's own workshop rather than a dealer network, so repairs outside the US and Canada mean shipping the bike back.
- The battery warranty is 0.25 years against 1 year for the frame, so the pack is the weaker part of the cover.
- Bikes ship to US and CA only, which rules out buyers elsewhere without a friend or a forwarder.
Who each suits
Tenways
Who it suits
- Commuters in Austria, BE and BG who want a mid-drive bike with a removable battery and hydraulic disc brakes.
- Riders who need real carrying capacity, since the Longtail Duo takes 220 kg.
- Buyers who prefer a chain-free drivetail, as belt drive is part of the range.
Who should look elsewhere
- Riders who want mountain terrain, since Kalkhoff carries emtb models that Tenways does not list.
- Anyone wanting a folding bike, as Tern and HK Beirui Trade Co. both list folding while Tenways does not.
Windhorse
Who it suits
- US and Canadian riders buying direct and happy to deal with the maker rather than a shop
- Commuters and step-through riders who want a throttle for stop-start traffic
- Folding and fat-tire buyers who want both from one maker, with the lightest listed model at 23.1 kg
Who should look elsewhere
- Riders who want dealer servicing, which Kalkhoff offers through a wider retail setup
- European buyers, since delivery is limited to US and CA
- Buyers who plan to keep a bike for many years and put weight on battery cover, set at 0.25 years

Questions about each
Tenways
What does a Tenways e-bike cost?+
Prices start at €1,199 for the entry bike in the range and run up to €4,999 for the AGO Performance at the top of the line. Both ends are one-off purchase prices, not subscription fees. The Longtail Duo sits inside that span as the cargo option, and the site lists 3 alternatives for side-by-side reading.
Can I pay for a Tenways in instalments?+
Finance is available, so the entry price of €1,199 on the cheapest bike in the line can be spread rather than paid in one go. Terms are set at the point of purchase rather than quoted as a standard rate, so check the figures you are given before you commit. The top of the range is €4,999.
Windhorse
How much does a Windhorse e-bike cost at the cheapest end?+
The entry urban commuter starts at $299, and the range runs to $1,299 for the range-topping model. Entry pricing puts Windhorse at position 4 of 149 brands, so it sits at the affordable end of the market.
What is the top of the range and what does it add?+
The range-topping model is the upper end at $1,299. It brings a throttle, a removable battery, a motor rated at 750 W and a claimed range of 104.6 km, so the extra spend buys power and range rather than a subscription.
