If you’ve been looking for a nice bike to commute on or just bike around the town on then you’ve probably noticed a huge difference in prices from basic walmart bikes at around $150+ to bikes well over $1,000.
The price of the bike depends on what it’s made of and all the components quality like the frame, brakes, wheels and gear shift. While the cheap walmart bikes fro $150-$250 will work fine for some people that use the bike every once in a while…the bikes just won’t hold up for everyday usage.
Some of the mid range bikes will work great for 80% of the bikers and the mid range price is $400-$650. The bikes in this range are made from quality components and made to last versus the cheaper walmart bikes.
One of the best values for a bike is the Currie Ezip bike that is a hybrid bike with an electric motor and battery pack built in. The bike is only $450 and can go up to 20mph with the motor without any pedaling and has a range of 20 miles. Considering the high end ebikes have the same specs makes this commuter bike an insane value…the high end ebikes cost between $2,500-$4,500.
