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!

Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the ENGWE E26. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

7 reasons to buy

  • The ENGWE E26 is available in step-through and step-over frames.
  • This bike comes with fenders, lights with brake activation, and a rear rack rated for 55lb.
  • Reviewers appreciate the hydraulic disc brakes and 180mm rotors, which are “powerful” and easy to use.
  • The fat tires, hydraulic fork, and suspension seat post provide a “very comfortable” ride on roads and trails.
  • Experts relish the “clean welds,” eye-catching finishes, and “smoothly” integrated battery.
  • The bike’s speed limit and PAS levels are easily adjusted through the display.
  • A reviewer appreciates the hinged riser stem, allowing easier tuning of rider position.

9 reasons not to buy

  • The 35.4” minimum saddle height means riders below 5’9” struggle to fit.
  • At around 95lb, this is a very heavy e-bike.
  • The E26’s fat tires, high weight, and limited 7-speed gearing make it hard to pedal without assistance.
  • Experts complain about unresponsive pedal assistance.
  • According to reviewers, the E26 struggles on steep climbs.
  • Poor packaging leads to damage in transit.
  • One reviewer reports a potentially dangerous defect inside the charge port.
  • The “noisy” motor, knobby tires, fenders, and battery well create a din, say some testers.
  • Testers and users say ENGWE ships replacement parts quickly, but they’re less impressed that the company expects users to make repairs themselves.

Bottom line

The ENGWE E26 is a budget-priced electric fat bike. It has a 750W motor, a tidy integrated battery, and a rear rack with decent cargo capacity. The price-performance ratio impresses experts, who praise the “powerful” brakes, ride comfort, range, and “excellent” build quality. The bike’s very high weight means carrying and transportation are difficult. Though motor power is good, pedal assistance is unresponsive, and the bike can struggle on steep inclines. Complaints are mostly minor, especially given the relatively low price. Overall, experts consider the E26 a solid option for those seeking an affordable electric fat bike.

The looks are aggressive, the equipment is really good – the ENGWE E26 is a great fat bike…. the price-performance ratio is right, even if the details are not quite as good as claimed.
