E-bikes from Rad Power Bikes, Specialized, and Trek come in a wide range of prices, starting as low as $999 for basic models and going up to several thousand dollars for premium or cargo versions. Rad Power focuses on affordable options with current sales dropping many bikes under $2,000, while Specialized and Trek tend to offer higher-end bikes in the $2,500 to $5,000 range or more, depending on features like motor power and build quality.[1][3][4]
Rad Power Bikes stands out for budget-friendly electric bikes that pack a lot of features for everyday use. Right now, during their Christmas Holiday Radness sale, you can grab the RadExpand 5 Plus folding e-bike for $1,399, down from $1,899. It hits 20 mph and covers up to 60 miles on a charge, perfect for commuters or small spaces.[1] The RadRunner Cargo Utility e-bike is also $1,399 from $1,499, with a 55-mile range and room for cargo or a passenger.[1][8] For off-road fun, the Radster Trail goes for $1,599 on sale from $1,999, offering 65 miles, a 750W motor, and speeds up to 28 mph where allowed.[1][3] The matching Radster Road commuter model matches that price and range.[1] Cargo fans might like the RadRunner Plus at $1,699 or the RadWagon 5 around $2,199 to $2,399, both built for heavy loads up to 350 pounds with safety features like hydraulic brakes.[1][5][7] Regular prices hover between $1,599 and $2,399 before discounts, making Rad Power a go-to for value.[3]
Specialized e-bikes lean toward premium performance with sleek designs and top-tier components. Models like the Turbo Vado or Turbo Levo often start around $3,500 for entry-level versions and climb to $5,000 or higher for full-suspension trail bikes. These come with powerful mid-drive motors from Specialized’s own brand, smooth torque sensors, and ranges of 50 to 90 miles. They suit serious riders who want lightweight frames under 50 pounds and app integration for tracking rides. While exact current prices vary by retailer, expect sales to bring select models down 10 to 20 percent during holidays.[4]

Trek emphasizes durability and customization, with many bikes qualifying for rebates in some areas. Holiday deals can shave $500 or more off list prices.[4]
Prices shift with sales, accessories, and local laws on speed or power. Rad Power keeps things simple and cheap for beginners, while Specialized and Trek deliver pro-level rides for those willing to spend more on refinement.
