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!

6 reasons not to buy

  • The Nomad is available in one 19” size that may be too tall for some riders.
  • A slight lag was experienced when riders engaged the Nomad’s throttle or pedal-assist.

Bottom line

Nomad owners enjoyed using this e-bike for everything from hauling hunting rifles up remote logging roads to toting groceries. Bafang’s torquey 750W mid-drive motor sees riders through loose terrain and up steep off-road ascents. The Nomad is available in two camo colorways for hunters, in addition to a plain gun-metal gray option for everyday riders. With its low gearing, the Nomad is primarily aimed at hunters and off-road adventure types. Professional reviews are scarce but owners generally seem satisfied. Experiences with aftermarket customer service and assistance are mixed. Older models are fitted with an 11.6Ah battery.
