A chain-driven mid-drive,
listed at $999.
A moped-style frame, 500W chain-driven mid-drive, 60 N·m supplier rating and two removable-battery options — centered on a $999 listed base configuration.
Stoke Bike focuses on one product: the $999 E3, a moped-style electric bike with a 500W chain-driven mid-drive, pedals, throttle and two removable-battery options—15.6Ah and 25Ah.
Three principles.
Chain-driven mid-drive
The 500W motor powers the chain at the bottom bracket and can use the bike's gearing — not a hub motor hidden in a wheel.

500W, 60 N·m, hydraulic disc brakes, a removable 48V battery and a listed 20 mph throttle-and-pedal-assist setup.
A chain-driven mid-drive
at $999
stands apart.
In our dated five-model moped-style comparison, the E3 is the under-$1,000 entry with a chain-driven mid-drive. The other four use hub-motor layouts at their recorded prices.
That does not make one architecture universally better. It does give riders who specifically want a gear-routed drive a concrete value reason to put the E3 on the shortlist.
We asked a simple question: can a moped-style e-bike pair a chain-driven mid-drive with a listed price under $1,000?
One bike. Two batteries.
One clear idea.
The E3 package starts with a moped-style frame and a 500W motor that drives the chain through the bicycle drivetrain. The current US page lists the 15.6Ah base configuration at $999.
The listed hardware adds 60 N·m of torque, hydraulic disc brakes, a removable battery with smart BMS, pedals, throttle and a 20 mph US setup.
The value claim is direct: a $999 listed base price paired with a 500W chain-driven mid-drive, 60 N·m supplier rating, pedals, throttle and a listed 20 mph US setup.
Four commitments.
Supplier ratings, converted range estimates and dated competitor figures are labeled so buyers can compare like with like.
The US listing pairs pedal assist and throttle with a 20 mph motor-assistance limit; local classification still depends on the delivered setup.
Choose 15.6Ah or 25Ah, with supplier estimates converting to about 25–31 or 37–50 miles before real-world variables.
The supplier rates the 500W chain-driven mid-drive at 60 N·m, with motor power routed through the bicycle drivetrain.

The moment everything
clicks.
In California riding culture, “stoked” means the feeling when everything clicks — the perfect wave, the perfect trail, the perfect ride. It's not about specs on paper. It's about the moment you twist the throttle and grin.
That's what we're building toward. Not the most expensive bike. Not the most powerful. The one that makes you stoked to ride.
