Pros and cons
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.
Windone
Pros
- Throttle on the bikes, so the motor can carry you on its own and help away from the pedals.
- Removable battery, so charging works wherever there is a socket rather than only beside the bike.
- A payload limit of 150 kg suits heavier riders and anyone carrying panniers or cargo.
Cons
- Warranty runs 1 year on the frame and 1 year on the battery, so protection is short for a bike bought to keep.
- Support runs on email, help centre and community only, which is thinner than a phone line when a fault needs sorting.
- On starting price Windone ranks at 56 of 149 brands, so cheaper entry bikes sit ahead of it, while the top of the range ranks at 16 of 145.
Who each suits
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
Windone
Who it suits
- Riders who want fat tire or off-road capability and a throttle rather than pedal-only assist.
- Buyers who want a folding or step through frame from the same brand as a dirt bike.
- Heavier riders and carriers who care about payload rating and a battery that can be taken out to charge.
Who should look elsewhere
- Not Kalkhoff, if you want a city, hybrid or e-mtb shape, since city, hybrid and step through is a different line of bikes from Windone's off-road focus.
- Not Tern, if your riding is cargo or commuter work, because cargo, commuter and folding covers those frames rather than fat tire and dirt bikes.
- Not HK Beirui Trade Co., if you want a broader spread that includes commuter and e-mtb frames, as commuter, folding and fat tire shows.

Questions about each
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.
Windone
How much does a Windone e-bike cost?+
The collection starts at $929.99 and reaches $1,099.99. That band covers one electric dirt bike, an off-road version of it and a fat tire adventure model. Bikes are bought outright from Windone, so there is no subscription renewal to budget for later in ownership.
Is there a throttle on Windone bikes?+
Yes. The bikes come with a throttle, which means the motor can drive the bike without pedalling, useful at traffic lights and on steep starts. One model pairs that with a claimed range of 75 km and a payload limit of 150 kg, so heavier riders and loaded trips sit inside the stated numbers.
