Best e-bike under $1,500
Every bike here is one I've actually ridden and filmed, and each has a verified current price of $1,500 or less. Prices change, so check the brand before you buy.
1. Rattan LF 750 Pro ($1,099)
Overall the LF 750 Pro was really comfortable for me at 6'1", and the fat tires handled snow and dirt beautifully. I got 27 miles on a charge riding throttle only by myself, which I found really impressive. It folds into a tight package that fits a sedan, and carrying a passenger is really convenient. At $1,249 when I reviewed it, I felt the price was fair for the specs.
2. Bee Cool Adventurer ($1,099)
Buy the Bee Adventurer if you want a dual suspension fat tire e-bike with a throttle, a rear rack and a full set of safety lights for a lot less than most full-suspension bikes. I tested mine for several weeks on roads, paved trails and rough walking trails. It was one of the most comfortable rides I'd had at the time.

3. Rad Power Bikes RadWagon 4 ($1,299)
I've been using the RadWagon 4 to take the kids to the pool, run around town, and hit the grocery store, and hopping on it and getting rock star parking everywhere is phenomenal. The low center of gravity makes it stable with a full load, and I had zero safety concerns with the new in-house tires on-road or off. The parts aren't perfect out of the box, but for family hauling it delivers.
