Our verdict

Tietie Bike sells fat tyre, folding and commuter e-bikes direct, with the entry model at €679 and nothing above €849. It suits riders who want a throttle, a removable battery and a long claimed range on a tight budget, and suits less anyone who needs a dealer workshop or a phone line.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • One catalogue covers fat tire, folding and commuter, so a commuter, a folder and a fat tyre bike all come from the same seller.
  • The entry model carries a throttle, so hill starts and stop start traffic do not depend on pedalling hard.
  • A removable battery and 137 km of claimed range from a bike that weighs 33 kg is a lot of hardware for the money.
  • Returns are open for 14 days, so a bike that does not suit the ride can go back.
  • The rated payload of 120.2 kg leaves room for a rack, panniers or a child seat rather than just the rider.

Cons

  • Support runs on email only, so a fault on a bike with no local shop means a written request and your own repair.
  • The battery is covered for 1 year against 1 year on the frame, so a pack that ages out of cover leaves the owner to fund a replacement.
  • A model in the range is listed with mechanical disc brakes, mechanical disc, where hydraulic discs carry 74.7% of the category.
  • Belt drive is absent from the range, so the chain wants cleaning and tension checks, while belt drive appears on 38.5% of the brands here.

Who it suits

  • Riders who want a folding, fat tyre or commuter e-bike with a throttle and a removable battery for the least money.
  • Commuters who charge at work or in a hallway and put a removable battery above a polished dealer network.
  • Anyone shopping the folding and fat tyre lists on price, where Tietie Bike ranks 42 of 149 brands on entry price.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Kalkhoff, if you are after city, hybrid, step-through or emtb shapes, city, hybrid and step through, rather than a throttle equipped fat tyre folder.
  • Tern, if a cargo bike is the requirement: Tern lists cargo, commuter and folding bikes, cargo, commuter and folding, while Tietie Bike's catalogue is fat tyre, folding and commuter, fat tire, folding and commuter.
  • HK Beirui Trade Co., if you want emtb shapes from a direct seller, since it covers commuter, folding, fat tyre and emtb, commuter, folding and fat tire.

Core features

The entry bike in the range comes with a throttle, so it will move under power alone, and its battery is removable for charging away from the bike. Battery capacity is 748.8 Wh against a claimed range of 137 km, which is a long distance for the money. The lightest bike in the range weighs 33 kg, and the rated payload of 120.2 kg leaves room for a rack, panniers or a child seat rather than just the rider. Belt drive is not used, so the drivetrain is a chain that wants regular cleaning and tension checks. The frame is covered for 1 year and the battery for 1 year, and an order can be sent back within 14 days.

Plans and prices

The cheapest bike starts at €679, with the rest of the range taking the top of the range to €849. Both figures are the price of the bike itself, so the outlay lands at entry rather than at renewal. That entry price sits below the €876.09 typical across the e-bike brands on the site, and the top of the range stays well under the €2,299 typical ceiling. Because the spread between the cheapest and dearest model is narrow, the choice turns on shape and motor rather than on saving money at the top end, and the same figures hold whichever model you pick first.

The company behind it

Tietie Bike trades as TOUCHE HAIR LLC, with its headquarters in the United States. Sales are direct, direct, so the relationship after the sale stays with the company that sold the bike rather than with a local shop. Support is limited to email, which means warranty claims, parts questions and returns are handled in writing, and anything mechanical is left to the owner's own workshop. That setup suits people who are happy to do their own mechanical work, and it does not suit those who want a workshop round the corner.

Frequently asked questions

What does a Tietie Bike e-bike cost?+

The cheapest bike starts at €679, with the rest of the range topping out at €849. Those are the figures the brand publishes, and both cover the bike itself, so the money decision sits at entry rather than at renewal.

Which models and shapes does Tietie Bike sell?+

The catalogue is short, Tietie E20Pro, Tietie T5, Tietie T2. The shapes covered are fat tyre, folding and commuter, fat tire, folding and commuter, so there is no cargo bike or mountain bike in the range. The whole range sits inside one price band, which keeps the choice about shape and motor.

What range can I expect on a charge?+

The entry model is quoted at 137 km of claimed range, with a battery of 748.8 Wh. That range figure comes from the maker rather than independent testing, so treat it as a reading under favourable riding conditions and not as a promise for a winter commute.

What motor and assist setup do these bikes use?+

The motor sits in the hub, hub, with nominal power of 750 W. The range sits in us class 3 and a throttle is fitted, which is why these bikes move under power alone as readily as under pedalling. Hub placement also means less drivetrain wear than a mid motor setup.

Can I charge the battery away from the bike?+

The battery is removable, so it comes out for charging in a hallway, office or garage, and capacity reaches 748.8 Wh on the entry model. That matters more for a folding bike carried into flats and for a fat tyre bike left in a shed, where the whole frame is impractical to plug in.

How heavy are the bikes and what can they carry?+

The lightest bike in the range weighs 33 kg, and the rated payload is 120.2 kg. That rating covers rider plus luggage, so racks, baskets and child seats are within what the frame is built for. The weight figure is the one to watch on the folding models, which get carried up stairs and into trains.

What warranty and returns come with the bike?+

The frame is covered for 1 year and the battery for 1 year, and the return window runs 14 days from the order. Battery cover is the figure to watch, since packs usually age faster than frames, and the return window is short enough to judge a bike within a few days.

How do I get help after buying?+

Support runs on email only, so there is no phone line or chat to fall back on. Bikes are sold direct, direct, which means a mechanical problem is one for your own workshop, while parts, policy and returns are handled with the company by email.

Where is Tietie Bike based and where does it sell?+

Tietie Bike is headquartered in the United States and sells direct, direct. Its store lists European shipping destinations alongside the US, AT, BE and BG, so an order, a return and a warranty claim all run through the same company rather than an importer.
