BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Bottom line
The Maxfoot MF-25 is a budget step-through e-bike designed for short city commutes. The relatively low weight, included accessories, and comfortable ride are impressive at this price, but the bike has clear limitations. The battery is small, the mechanical disc brakes need replacing, and there’s noticeable pedal assist lag. The sole tester praises the motor's acceleration in the higher assistance levels, though it struggles on hills. Long-term durability is doubtful, and the bike doesn't have UL safety certification, but out of the box, the Maxfoot MF-25 seems to be a functional option for short commutes.Expert Reviews
