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
Priority’s Skyline isn’t exactly cheap, but given the build quality and performance, some think it’s a steal. Only Lectric’s ONE offers a Pinion Smart.Shift gearbox for less money, but that has 6 fewer gears than the Priority’s 12. The Skyline proves a fine sporty commuter, with great range and performance, and a high-tech drivetrain that is both smooth and easy to live with. The Skyline’s only real drawback is its relatively low weight capacity. Given that most competitors with the same gearbox cost a lot more, Priority’s Skyline is a bargain.Expert Reviews
