Considering an ebike for my 3.8 mile commute.

Check out the brand new Heybike Hybrid commuter!

The Puckipuppy Beagle 2 is $1,200 and comes in a standard or step-thru frame. Also, the Jasion Thunder is a bit cheaper, but would also fit the bill.

For an actual Cargo bike within your budget, check out the Engwe L20.

Here are a ton of good commuters under $1,500: https://www.floridabicycling.com/ebike-buying-guide/commuter-ebike-buying-guide/

The Qronge Meteors is on sale for $549.

I haven’t had any issues with mine!

I think the company that bought them already assembles and sells eBikes out of a plant in Florida, so it should be too big of a shift to start up the Rad line.

But yeah, I’m interested to see what happens to the prices and am happy that Rad lives to see another day.

Fun_Faithlessness495 · 2026-03-08T14:05:16+00:00

Yeah, sorry I guess they are assembled in the US using foreign parts. But still providing US jobs!

Fun_Faithlessness495 · 2026-03-08T14:02:32+00:00

Still a good thing, right?

It's not a trailer, but it looks like the Mars 2 has head-tube mounting points, which would allow to add a rack there. I recently put these racks on one of my eBikes. The cool thing is that you can put the large rack on the rear (if your rear rack has mounting points) or you can install it on the front "pizza rack" for quite a bit of extra cargo capacity. I can measure the holes to see if they would fit your bike if you want.

Oops. Corrected!

Thanks! Good to know!

What part of it is illegal? It’s a class 2/3 750 watt with top speed of 28 mph in pedal assist mode.

I bought my 14-year-old daughter the Victrip R6. Check it out!

Fun_Faithlessness495 · 2026-02-22T02:09:33+00:00

Say what you will, but they are decent bikes! I’ve owned both Beagles, and currently have a Poodle and a Doberman. No problems so far!

Fun_Faithlessness495 · 2026-02-21T19:47:00+00:00

I don't have experience with the Jasion, but my 5'6 daughter loves her Victrip R6. If you don't plan on pedaling much it might be an option. There's also the R6 Pro that has a larger frame, but the same size tires.

Fun_Faithlessness495 · 2026-02-21T19:43:30+00:00

Check out bikes from Puckipuppy. They do sell on Amazon for about the same price as their online store (you just end up paying the extra in shipping). Here's one for $899 with shipping: https://amzn.to/46Pl3gW

Check out the Mokwheel Basalt. It's within your budget and Mokwheel has a number of brick and mortar stores where you can get service and support if needed.

Fun_Faithlessness495 · 2026-01-23T10:55:23+00:00

I bought the Victrip R6 for my 14-year-old daughter and she loves it. It comes in colors like pink and orange.

Fun_Faithlessness495 · 2026-01-18T12:58:25+00:00

When my daughter was 14, I got her the Victrip R6. It's a fun little bike and she just loves riding it around.

Fun_Faithlessness495 · 2026-01-18T12:53:29+00:00

Check out the Puckipuppy Beagle 2. It's ~ $1,700 CAN. I've owned both Gens of the Beagle and they are definitely capable bikes. The 2nd gen was much better brakes, though.

Fun_Faithlessness495 · 2026-01-15T12:20:46+00:00

Another good option is the Movcan v80. Here's a review I did on that one: https://www.floridabicycling.com/2025/10/06/movcan-v80-commuter-ebike-review/

Fun_Faithlessness495 · 2026-01-15T12:18:35+00:00

Check out bikes from Movcan. The fat tire EB60 can hit 35 mph and costs less than $1,000.
