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!

The majority of experts and owners describe the Archon as an enjoyable and comfortable ride, and are pleased with the “powerful” motor, accessories, and pricing. Reported issues include weak brakes, exposed electronics, and a bulky, heavy frame. Mechanical failures also spur complaints from buyers.

Senada Archon E-Bike Review

… the cable disc brakes are a little weak for the weight of the bike. The bearings in the suspension fork broke, but Senada is sending me a new one [at] no charge. This bike is super fun to ride… Awesome commuter. Overall, still very happy with my purchase.

I think this is an awesome bike; I think this is a bike for someone who wants to take this to the beach or on some trails, do some off-road stuff.
