Taking your first step into the world of E-Bikes can be a daunting prospect. The market has plenty of options for most budgets, with brands competing for accessibility and prominence in all sectors of 2-wheeled fun. Whether you’re looking for a folding bike that will fit in your car boot, a mountain bike for muddy tracks, or a hybrid to enjoy both on the weekday ride to work and then a weekend countryside trip.

Here at E-Bikes Direct, we strongly believe electric bikes should be accessible to everyone, no matter the budget. A common misconception is that an electric bike will set you back £1000’s. While this can be the case, E-Bikes Direct have a wide variety of sub-£900 bikes to suit all abilities and requirements without compromising on features and performance.

To help you find the perfect bike, we’ve compiled a list of our favorite e-bikes priced at £900 or less.
