Today we’re reviewing the best electric bikes for under one thousand dollars. We’ll be looking at the Ariel Rider Rideal the Metakoo Cybertrak 1000 and the gotras alpha all three of these bikes have both pedal assist and manual throttle so you can choose how much to pedal or just use the throttle to get going or coast along without pedaling this means going further with less hassle or not breaking a sweat while you commute to the office.
01. Ariel Rider Rideal
First up look at the Rideal commuter electric bike from Ariel Rider. This e-bike is perfect for commuting with a sleek design quality parts pedal assist and a throttle that will get you going up to 20 miles per hour and a range of 30 to 60 miles with a price tag of $1,000 on sale the ideal is aerial riders cheapest option among their e-bike selection and they offer a handful of other classes of e-bikes to choose from.
The Ariel rider has a sleek and classy design that comes with some elegance and comfort. Brown grips and brown seat but aerial rider offers other color options as well as a mid-step frame. It’s best to frame for riders between 5 foot 2 and 6 foot 2. The rider has a 6-speed Shimano derailleur and 5 pedal assist modes with a 750-watt motor the bike get to speed quickly and tops out at 20 miles per hour on mode 5. The output is powerful and balanced on almost all of the modes and kicks in after one second though we did find that modes 4 and 5 outputs so much power that pedaling becomes almost irrelevant at 20 miles per hour in case you don’t want to do any work the bike features a half twist throttle that you can use to initiate the motor without having to pedal. No matter which pedal assist mode you’re in the throttle will always give you the maximum acceleration making it easy to get around cars and other bikes. For the controls, you’ll find a very simple user interface to change between riding modes check your battery life turn on the headlight, or power on and off the bike with a few buttons speaking of lights the bike has an integrated power headlight and rear light the rear light also works as a brake light when you hit the brakes even when the lights are off. The battery is a 48 volt 14 amp-hour pack that can be quickly removed and features a lock with a key for range aerial advertises between 30 and 60 miles of range depending on how much pedal assist and throttle you use. There are coupons available to make it even cheaper sometimes down to seven hundred dollars for specs.
02. Metakoo cybertrak 1000
This bike features a 350-watt motor a removable battery with 25 miles of range pedal-assist to make pedaling easy a throttle so you can cruise without pedaling and a max speed of 20 miles per hour. The Metakoo has five pedal assist modes which can be quickly toggled using the small screen interface by your left hand. The controls are very easy to see even under the bright sunlight and it’s simple to navigate The power button also functions to switch between your current speed. The odometer and your current trip time of course even if you want to use it like a regular bike it does include 21-speed Shimano gears allowing you to pedal through any incline you run into though with a little bit of pedal assist you won’t even need to break a sweat if you don’t want to. The frame and wheels of the bike are definitely on the smaller side The rider’s Height of 5’11 and felt fairly comfortable riding but anyone taller may want to find something a little bigger. The wheels are 26 inches wide which is slightly smaller than an adult bike that has 29-inch wheels and the tires are thinner than full-size mountain bike types they have decent tread but we wouldn’t recommend it for any complicated trails. When you do go off-road the Metakoo does include a front fork suspension that does a good job of handling routes bumps and cracks as well as dual disc brakes to get you to a quick stop though with no rear suspension and a low-quality seat you’ll definitely feel some pain in the cheeks after some longer rides for battery life and range. Metakoo advertises 26 to 40 miles using the only throttle and 37 to 50 miles in electric assist mode.
03. Gotrax alpha xl
The third bike was the Gotrax Alpha xl priced at 800 This electric bike has a sleek design with the battery and components all housed inside of the frame. The Alpha XL is a full-size bike with 29-inch tires making it perfect for adults from the outside, You’d think this was a normal bike but the frame of the Gotrax has a 36-volt battery that can easily be removed so you can bring it into charge. On the left-hand side of the handlebars is the control switch where you can turn on or off the bike change the riding modes or turn on the headlight. On the right-hand side, you have the seven-speed Shimano derailleur to change the gears of the bike. The gotrax has three different pedal assist modes low medium and high The motor is a 350-watt hub motor in the rear wheel. One thing we did notice right away with the motor is that the pedal-assist takes longer to kick in than the other e-bikes in our test it seemed to take about five full seconds for the pedal-assist to kick in after you start riding while the other e-bikes only took a second or two the acceleration is also not as strong as the Metaku or the aerial rider on the flip side you can also use the throttle with your thumb which will immediately kick in the motor to assist. The Gotras are also water-resistant up to ipx4 since all the components are inside the frame the Gotrax also features front suspension to provide additional comfort while riding on rough terrain overall we think the Gotrax is well suited for any adults who are looking for a slower and more casual ride.
