Mid-drives and multi-battery touring
EUNORAU runs from $1,699 to $2,999 and is the only brand here selling mid-drive motors, where the gearing multiplies the motor’s torque as well as yours. Two of the three bikes we cover take optional additional batteries, all three use torque sensors, and the specification sheets name their components — Bafang, SRAM, Samsung, DNM — rather than leaving them generic.

Head to head
Three pairings, three different answers depending on what you want the bike to do.
Comparison
Eight hundred dollars and forty pounds apart. One is a step-through you ride to work; the other is a 110 lb machine with three battery bays and a missing payload figure.
Comparison
Two bikes with the same sensor and the same wheel size, $1,300 apart in price. This is the clearest case on the site for what money buys above $1,200 — and it is not battery.
Comparison
Both weigh about 110 lb and both are full-suspension mid-drives. One is the more powerful machine; the other is the one you can actually judge before you buy it.
The other two
Budget fat-tire hub motors
AMYET sells direct into the US market at the bottom of the fat-tire price band — $669 to $1,049 across the three models we cover. You get large batteries and high claimed speeds for the money. What you generally do not get is a published torque figure, a stated sensor type, a bike weight, or hydraulic brakes on the cheaper bikes.
See the AMYET rangeMid-price, fully specified
VTUVIA sits in the middle at $1,299 to $1,599, and the difference from the budget tier is mostly in what they are willing to write down: torque in newton-metres, fork travel, rotor material, rider height, bike weight and — on the SF20H — both UL numbers. Hydraulic brakes are standard across the range and two of the three bikes use a torque sensor.
