Mid-drive shouldn't
cost $2,000.
That's why Stoke Bike exists. The best motor technology should be accessible to every rider — not just the ones who can afford premium prices.
Stoke Bike is a direct-to-rider e-bike brand founded in 2024, focused on making mid-drive motor technology affordable. As of April 2026, our E3 model starts at $999 — well below the $1,500+ typical for mid-drive e-bikes. We ship from Los Angeles, CA and offer a 1-year warranty, free shipping, and 30-day returns.
Three principles.
Real technology
Genuine mid-drive motor — chain-driven, gear-assisted. We don't use the word "mid-drive" unless the motor actually drives the chain.
Honest pricing
We sell direct. No dealers, no showrooms, no middlemen. That's how we keep a mid-drive e-bike under $1,000.
No-BS specs
Tires are 20" × 3.0" — we don't call them "fat tire." Speed is 20 mph Class 2 — we don't claim 30+. What we write is what you get.
Mid-drive at $2,000
wasn't a tech problem.
It was a markup problem.
We were shopping for e-bikes and noticed something frustrating: every moped-style e-bike under $1,500 used a hub motor. The ones with mid-drive — the motor type that actually rides better — started at $2,000.
The technology isn't that expensive. The markup is. Dealers take a cut. Distributors take a cut. Showrooms take a cut.
We asked a simple question: what if we sold a mid-drive moped e-bike direct, at the actual price it should cost?
One bike. One price.
One promise.
We partnered with an experienced manufacturer and designed the E3 around one goal: put a real mid-drive motor in a moped-style frame and sell it for under $1,000.
We didn't cut corners on the things that matter — the motor drives the chain through gears, the brakes are hydraulic, the battery is removable with smart BMS, and the whole thing ships as Class 2.
We cut costs on the things that don't — no retail stores, no dealer network, no celebrity endorsements. Just direct-to-rider.
Four commitments.
We only claim what's real. If we can't verify it, we don't write it.
Ships at 20 mph. Class 2 e-bikes don't require a license in most US states.
Free shipping to all 50 states. 30-day returns. No fine print.
Email or WhatsApp. We respond within 24 hours. 1-year warranty on frame, motor, and battery.
We're riders too.
Stoke Bike was started by people who ride every day. We built the bike we wanted to buy but couldn't find — a mid-drive moped e-bike that doesn't cost a fortune.
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.
