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!

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Maxfoot MF-25. In summary, this is what cyclists think. Published Jun 15, 2026 by Reda Ashour.

9 reasons to buy

  • The MF-25 comes with a headlight, a taillight with brake activation, a rear rack (30lb capacity), and fenders.
  • An expert says it's easy to hit 20mph using either throttle or PAS.
  • A reviewer says the suspension fork works well for the price. It also has a lockout.
  • A tester praises the strong acceleration in PAS levels 4 and 5.
  • A reviewer enjoys the upright riding position on the MF-25.
  • The quill stem can be adjusted up and down to change handlebar height.

  • A buyer and a reviewer are impressed by how well the bike is packaged for shipping.
  • The Maxfoot MF-25 is lightweight for this price point.

9 reasons not to buy

  • This bike doesn't have UL safety certification.
  • Although advertised with a 25mph top speed, it's unclear how to unlock these speeds.
  • The bike is too tall for a 5’4” tester, and Maxfoot says it's too small for anyone over 6'2''.
  • A tester says the mechanical disc brakes are weak and stiff.
  • It takes several pedal strokes for pedal assist to activate.
  • The MF-25's motor struggles on steep hills.
  • A tester complains about the weak assistance in PAS levels 1 and 2.
  • The small text on the display is hard to read.
  • A buyer says assembly is challenging.

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.
