Best e-bikes under €1,500 in Europe
Every e-bike we list as sold in Europe at or under €1,500, put in order by one published formula instead of by opinion: estimated range for each €100 of price, adjusted for weight and torque. 135 bikes qualify. The top 20 are below, then the top 3 of each type. These are catalogue figures and our range estimate; we have not ridden or tested any of these bikes.
Every price on this page is the list price the catalogue states for Europe, in EUR. A price is never converted from another currency, and a bike with no price quoted for Europe is not ranked.

Reading the list
A figure shown as Not stated is one the catalogue does not hold for that bike. It is never filled in with a default; a bike with no torque figure simply gets no torque adjustment.
A bike marked as over the limits has a stated figure above the e-bike class limits for Europe. That is a comparison of catalogue figures with the rules, not a legal ruling.
How the order is worked out
The order is a formula over catalogue figures, printed here from the same constants the code uses. It is not a test, a review or an opinion.
score = estimated range per €100 of price x weight factor x torque factor
| Bike type | Weight factor | Torque factor |
|---|---|---|
| Folding | 1 minus 2% for each kg over 20 kg, never below 0.75 | 1 plus 0.15% for each Nm over 50 Nm, at most +6%. None when torque is not stated |
| City, Commuter, Road, Gravel, Touring | 1 minus 1% for each kg over 25 kg, never below 0.75 | 1 plus 0.15% for each Nm over 50 Nm, at most +6%. None when torque is not stated |
| MTB | 1 minus 0.5% for each kg over 28 kg, never below 0.75 | 1 plus 0.3% for each Nm over 50 Nm, at most +12%. None when torque is not stated |
| Cargo | 1 minus 0.5% for each kg over 35 kg, never below 0.75 | 1 plus 0.3% for each Nm over 50 Nm, at most +12%. None when torque is not stated |
Bikes with the same score are ordered by longer estimated range, then lower price, then lighter weight.
Only prices quoted in the market count: the catalogue's list price for it, or with store tracking on, the price on the brand's own store read within the last 72 hours. A store price is used only when the store does not show the bike as out of stock and the price is at least 50% of the bike's list price; otherwise the list price stands.
A page needs at least 10 ranked bikes; a type section needs at least 3.
The estimate itself is explained in the methodology.
