Even if you're already an experienced cyclist, sometimes an 'acoustic' bike is a little lacking, especially if you aren’t someone who puts in regular miles on a weekly basis. Many of you may have also considered one of the best electric bikes, but decided that the price point of most e-bikes was just a little too steep to justify. Therefore, if you're on a budget and want an electric bike for added assistance, our selection of the best electric bikes under £1,000 should have you covered.To get more news about ebike for sale, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

Of course there will be compromises at this super budget price point, which we'll dive deeper into in the Q+A under our recommendations. In short, those compromises will be found in the frame materials, motor and specification of things like the gearing and brakes.

While a higher end electric bike might get a powerful mid-motor, hydraulic disc brakes and perhaps even a carbon frame, at the budget end you're invariably going to see less punchy motors embedded into one of your wheel hubs; these will still do the job for helping you up a hill, but probably aren't suitable for hardcore e-bike rides on trails or trickier terrain.

Your gearing will be mechanical, not electric, and you'll likely have less gearing choices than on higher end e-bikes. At under a grand, you're also likely to see mechanical disc, rim or even v-brakes, which will be less powerful than hydraulic disc brakes, but will stop you nonetheless.

As you'll notice, there sadly isn't that many electric bikes under £1,000 any more that get our full seal of approval (we'd strongly advise against cutting corners and buying cheap batteries to do a bodge job); but there are still some, and with our friends at eBikeTips helping us to come up with the recommendations from their sizeable reviews archive, whether you want a city bike, hybrid or folding bike, our list should have an option to suit your needs as well as style, and all for under a grand!

The Assist electric bike with 20” wheels from Halfords is certainly one to consider if you have a really tight budget but still want the added support of a pedal assist motor, hence it’s our best bargain pick for our best electric bikes under £1000 list.

Although pretty basic with only one single gear, this 18kg shopping style e-bike offers a range of up to 20 miles (32km) on a full charge, which is acceptable considering it costs just 500 quid. One full charge will only take around 2-3 hours and this is made easy thanks to the removable 48Ah battery.

This front wheel drive e-bike also offers up to 250W of assistance from the motor, which is more than enough for leisure riding or commuting. This bike also benefits from being fitted with a kickstand for ease and convenience.

If you need something to whip you to the shops, train station or pub and your route isn't long or particularly hilly - but you want to arrive at your destination sweat-free - the Halfords Assist will provide adequate assistance as the name suggests. Just be aware that if you want to use it for anything over a 15-mile round trip, you'll have to use the battery sparingly.
Fiido’s D11 is a well-executed folding e-bike that we've named as our current best folding electric bike for under £1000. You get both the benefit of a motor, seven gears as well as the convenience and practicality of being able to fold it too. While the RRP is over £1000, this is currently available at an impressive £911.39 which makes it even more of a steal if an e-bike with folding capabilities is what you have in mind.

The D11 comes with a removable battery which makes recharging much easier. A full charge does take seven hours which could prove a little inconvenient; but on a full charge the range can be up to 62 miles, which should see you through at least a week of commuting if your out-and-back journey is less than ten miles a day and you don't deploy full power mode too often.

The motor fitted to this bike is a brushless gear hub motor which offers 250 watts, more than enough for anyone looking to commute or ride around for fun. Overall, it’s a great option for those on the move or lacking space, due to its folding capabilities.
