10 Best E-Bikes in the Philippines

1. Mitsushi Philippines V1 E-bike

Top-quality without the hefty price tag

Mitsushi is already a well-known brand for innovative products using Japanese technology, so it comes as no surprise that it is our top pick for the best e-bikes in the Philippines. More and more people are putting their confidence in this e-bike since it is attractive, of high quality, and, best of all, reasonably priced! It also offers features like hydraulic shock absorption for safety, a strong brushless motor engine, and a maximum speed of 40km/h on a full charge for its price. The fun part is that when you buy this e-bike, you can also get extras like a raincoat, an air pump, and a lock!

Comes in a range of delightful colors

What we also love about this bike is the overall aesthetics.  At first glance, it seems like a standard motorcycle, except it’s far more user-friendly and compact. We also like that you have a variety of beautiful colors like peachy gold, yellow, and reddish-pink that the ladies would be attracted to. So for an adorable, quality yet affordable electric bike, Mitsushi is certainly at the top of its game.

Why buy this:

• Affordable yet good quality
• Lovely design and color
• Good ratings on Shopee and Lazada
• Made with water-resistant materials

2. City E-bike Mini Electric Bicycle

Mini body, maximum performance

Want an e-bike that looks more like a typical bike than a motorcycle? This City Ebike Mini E-bike is perfect for you! The lightweight design of this e-bike is undoubtedly our favorite feature of it. The size will not draw much attention on the road and will not take up much space in your home when stored. But don’t be fooled by it! It can actually carry up to 150kg, and the specifications are excellent, with features such as wear-resistant tires, real-time cycling display, quadruple shock absorption, smart differential brushless motor, and waterproof/dustproof sealing. The best part? All of these great qualities come at a budget-friendly price!

Why buy this:

• Lightweight design but has a great load capacity
• Stable and safe
• Less noise, longer life parts
• Water- and dustproof sealing

3. Seeker Outdoor Electric Bike

With energy recovery technology for efficient riding

If you liked what City EBike had to offer, you’re sure to like this one from Seeker Outdoor. For one, it has the same small size and design as the previous model, but it also has sturdy shock absorbers, powerful auto batteries, and impact-resistant tires. However, what sets it apart from the other top two products on our list is its energy recovery technology, which converts kinetic energy into electrical energy for longer life. It simply means that you can keep using it even if your battery dies while cycling in the middle of the road! In addition, it can be charged via taxing or simply by rolling, so you can take a break and this e-bike will gain power on its own. So, if you are on the fence about getting an e-bike due to the energy expense or hassle, we definitely recommend this one.

Why buy this:

• Affordable but good quality
• Can charge via pedaling or taxing
• With five shock absorbers, thickened explosion-proof vacuum tires

4. Xiaomi Philippines HIMO Z20 Foldable E-Bike

Apart from smartphones, mobile accessories, and household essentials, Xiaomi also sells premium electric bikes. This Himo Z20 e-bike blends simplicity, comfort, and speed into a single clever compact machine. It also boasts dynamic dual-mode cycling, a lightweight, portable design, and the Vector Control System.  Plus, there is a crystal-clear display, integrated in-seat air pump, and 3C safety certification. And, thanks to its high efficiency 250W brushless motor, it can be your greatest buddy whether you’re traveling in the countryside or the city. We enjoy how it folds up, too, so you can easily store it or take it with you on your next outdoor activity!

Why buy this:

• Powerful and fast
• Stylish and foldable design
• Aluminum alloy frames and durable parts

5. Mayboch Portable Folding E-bike

This product from Mayboch Lazada is another portable and foldable type on our list. This e-bike, like Seeker Outdoor’s product, is lightweight and capable of performing even when the charge runs out. You can either charge it directly or remove the battery and ride it like a normal bike! We like this device over others in terms of weight carrying capacity because it promises to hold up to 250 kg, making it suited for heavier users.  It’s also reasonably priced, so if you’re shopping for a budget but powerful folding e-bike, this is your best pick.

Why buy this:

• High bearing weight (up to 250kg)
• Compact and foldable
• Can be used without batteries

6. GOGO E-bike Philippines Paris

GOGO Ebike Philippines has a wide range of e-bike models, but the Paris electric bike has grabbed our eyes. Its design is quite classic and attractive, and it is painted in classic tints that will trick people into thinking it is a scooter. In terms of features, it’s on pace with other good e-bike manufacturers in the Philippines, with a 50km/h top speed, a 130kg weight capacity, and a powerful 800w brushless DC motor. Overall, it appears to be very premium, so we believe its rather high price is really justified.

Why buy this:

• Installment payment available
• Beautiful, classic scooter design
• Free lifetime in-store service

7. Vmax Electric Bike G3 

Great value for money

VMAX is a shop that specializes in selling motorcycle parts and accessories, but they also sell electric bikes. The G3 model has everything you’d want in an e-bike—it has a peak speed of 35km/h, which is plenty for getting to work or running errands. It also has a carrying capacity of up to 125kg! The best part is that it folds up and is lightweight, weighing just 20kg including the battery. You can also get 17 delicate freebies that are necessary for bicycling, so this is an amazing buy if you want to get the most bang for your buck.

Why buy this:

• Lightweight and foldable
• Waterproof design
• Has rust-proof wheels for durability

8. BYCON Electric Bike

Equipped with security functions and GPS positioning

There are several electric bikes available on Lazada at various pricing ranges, with BYCON’s e-bike being one of the most popular. Offered in a trendy black, this is perfect if you want to ride in style.  The bike also includes a front basket to hold your items and a backseat so that up to two people can ride at the same time. We also like how, while being one of the most affordable options in the Philippines, BYCON assures that you can ride safely with security alert reminders and even GPS placement in case you get lost or your bike is stolen!

Why buy this:

• Made with a high carbon steel frame for strong bearing capacity
• Smooth riding with double shock absorption

Simply put, this process extends battery life while providing high-speed performance. You can save a lot of time and energy when charging with this innovative technology!
