The Samebike EBE2 is a mountain e-bike with a 468 Wh battery and a 24 kg weight. Its price is 690 USD, which is 56% below the median for its type. That low price is the most striking thing about it.
This bike suits riders who want an inexpensive way to try an e-MTB. It has a hub motor and a standard pedelec class, so it assists up to 25 km/h. You get a claimed range of 90 km, but our estimate is 27 km. That estimate comes from a formula, not from riding.

Questions people ask about the Samebike EBE2
How much does it weigh?

How much torque does it have?
The motor torque is not published. The median torque for its type is 80 Nm, but you cannot compare this bike to that. Without a published figure, you cannot know how it will feel on steep hills.
What speed class is it?
It is a standard pedelec class. That means it assists up to 25 km/h. No throttle is included, so you pedal to get help.
How far does it really go?
The manufacturer claims 90 km. MathBikes estimates 27 km, with a band of 24 to 31 km. That estimate is 70% below the claim. The estimate comes from a formula using a reference ride, not from testing.
You can adjust the inputs with the range calculator. Your own range will depend on weight, terrain, and assist level.

The purchase price is 690 USD. Running costs depend on electricity and maintenance. Use the cost calculator to compare over time.
Where it falls short
The EBE2 has a small battery. Its 468 Wh capacity is 44% below the class median of 840 Wh. That directly cuts the estimated range to 27 km, which is 45% below the class median of 49 km.
Who should buy it
This bike is for budget-focused riders who accept a short range. It is light for an e-MTB, which helps if you carry it. It is not for long-distance commuters or heavy off-road use.
- You want an e-MTB for short local rides under 25 km.
- You are on a tight budget and want the lowest price.
- You prefer a lighter bike to lift onto a rack.
Look elsewhere if you need more range or more power. The warranty is not listed, so you cannot know what coverage you get. Consider a bike with a larger battery if you plan longer trips.
