eBike Black Friday Deals 2026: 37 Measured Price Drops

37 price drops · 7 brands · up to $700 off · from $665 · every price verified against the maker's own US store on October 19, 2026 · re-checked every day from November 22 to 30

The real Black Friday deals on e-bikes are price cuts you can date. On October 19, 2026, 37 bikes, trikes and electric dirt bikes on our store cost less than their makers' own prices when we first recorded them in September or early October, by $50 to $700, and every price matches what the maker charges.

Quick answer. Black Friday 2026 is Friday, November 27, and Cyber Monday is November 30. The biggest cut we measured is the Qiolor TIGER RE: $1,399, down from Qiolor's own $2,099 on September 20. Under $1,000, the Qiolor TIGER JR at $899 is an e-bike in 48 of 51 jurisdictions. The median saving across all 37 is $200.

The deals split five ways, by the ride you have in mind:

• Commuting: the TIGER JR, $899 (from $1,399), the VTUVIA CMB 8-Speed, $1,399 (from $1,899) with a 175 N·m mid-drive, or the folding Addmotor Foldtan M-160, $1,499.
• Fat tires and full suspension: the TIGER RE, $1,399 with a 48 V 35 Ah pack, the VTUVIA SF20H, $1,299, or the Addmotor Soletan M-66X, $1,799.
• Three wheels: the 500 W Addmotor Citytan M-315, $1,099, or the Eunorau NEW-TRIKE 2.0, $1,999, down $500.
• Cargo: the Addmotor Graoopro, $1,499, rated for 450 lb.
• Off-road only: the Riding'times GT54 Pro, $899 (from $1,299), the Smartravel M23, $1,249.99, and the two-motor Tesway C5 AWD, $1,999. No state's e-bike definition admits any of the three.

The Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis, 2,100 feet of native granite and limestone, is a key link in the St. Anthony Falls Heritage Trail, which has pedestrian walkways and bicycle lanes. The scene was generated on Playcut from Thomson200's photograph of the bridge (CC0 1.0).

Every deal by budget, with the biggest saving in each band:

Last verified October 19, 2026. Every price and stock state was read on each maker's own US store and on ours that day, beside the maker's own earlier price from our dated reads, and every motor, battery, weight, load and speed figure is the maker's published specification, read on October 19, 2026.

How we verified this sale

Black Friday prices land on November 27, and on many bikes the makers have already started cutting. A struck-through price can make an ordinary week look like a sale, and a bike your state does not count as an e-bike is no bargain at any price. So every deal on this page passed one dated test, and the data behind each one is published with it.

• The prices. On October 19, 2026, the 453 versions of the bikes and trikes we carry from the 11 makers this guide can recommend were read on our store and beside the same versions on each maker's own US store (the deals data, CSV).
• The earlier price. For each version, the maker's own price on the first date we recorded it: September 19, September 20, October 4, 2026. A struck "compare at" figure is never used as an earlier price here.
• The checkout. On October 19, 2026, the maker's own cart was read for each of the 94 versions, one at a time: all 94 reads came back, and none charged less than our price. Two more versions, which the maker's own page would not put in a cart, are left off as out of stock.
• The test. A version counts as a deal when the maker's listed price on October 19 is lower than at that first read, our price equals what the maker charges (its listed price, less any code it prints on its own product page), the maker shows it in stock and our store can sell it. The 37 models on this page pass across 94 versions, from 7 brands: Addmotor 18, Smartravel 5, VTUVIA 5, Riding'times 4, Qiolor 3, Eunorau 1, Tesway 1.
• The specifications. Motor, battery, weight, load, top speed and rider height for each pick come from the maker's own US product page, linked in its card and read on October 19, 2026. Where a maker prints a figure two ways, both appear.
• The law. Each machine's published motor rating, top speed, throttle and weight, and each trike's wheel count, were screened against the e-bike definitions of all 50 states and DC, read in each statute. The deals table prints the count for every row.

Every assumption is numbered under Limitations, and every source is listed under References.

When is Black Friday 2026?

Black Friday 2026 is Friday, November 27, the day after Thanksgiving, which federal law fixes as "the fourth Thursday in November" (5 U.S.C. § 6103(a)). Cyber Monday falls on Monday, November 30.

The December 7 date is plain arithmetic on our shipping policy: orders are dispatched within 1 to 3 business days of confirmation, and most e-bikes arrive within 5 to 10 business days after dispatch. Counting Monday to Friday, an order confirmed on December 7 leaves by December 10 and arrives by December 24 if both windows run to their limits.

If your bike is a gift, order it with that margin in mind, and keep the battery charged and indoors until the day it is unwrapped.

All 37 eBike Black Friday deals on our store

These are the 37 deals on our store on October 19, 2026, biggest saving first. "The maker's earlier price" is the maker's own price for the same version on the date shown, and "An e-bike in" counts the 51 jurisdictions whose e-bike definition the machine's published figures fit. Where a maker prints a code on its own product page, "Price on Oct. 19" already has the code taken off, and the row names it.

Where a model comes in several versions, the row shows the lowest-priced version on deal, and its listing shows the rest. Download the table as CSV or JSON, with each row's dated price history.

Not in the table? Our sale page listed 56 bikes showing more than 20% off on October 20, 24 of them here. The other 32 show their percentage against the strike price on their own pages, and none passed this table's test on October 19: a maker's listed price lower than at an earlier read. Of those, 22 carry a checkout offer from their maker, matched in our price on October 19: DWMEIGI, Eahora, Freesky, Samebike and Tesway.

Of the 37 in the table, 12 are picks, chosen by the ride each one suits and spread across brands, and the next section matches them to riders. The rest are good deals for a narrower rider: the Addmotor trikes in the table cover recumbent seats, tandem seating, passenger and cargo boxes, and a reverse layout with two wheels in front.

Which Black Friday e-bike deal fits your ride?

Start from the ride, then the budget. A deal only saves you money if the machine fits the trips you take and the rules where you ride, so each pick below is matched to one kind of rider and says who should read a different card.

Of the 12 picks, 9 are an e-bike under at least one state's definition, and the count on each card says how many of the 51 jurisdictions agree. The 3 off-road machines are outside every state's e-bike definition, so on any public road or path they fall under the rules your state writes for motor vehicles.

Black Friday commuter e-bike deals

The rider. You ride to work, school or the store on pavement, and you want a bike that counts as an e-bike on the bike lanes and paths you use.

What decides it. The motor rating against your state's line, the climbs on your route, and where the bike sleeps at night. Both 500 W picks here are e-bikes in 48 of the 51 jurisdictions; the 750 W folder is one in 29, because in 19 states the definition reads "less than" or "fewer than" 750 watts, and a 750 W motor is not less than 750.

Budget: Qiolor TIGER JR, $899

The TIGER JR in black: Qiolor's own photograph of the bike, placed into a generated fall street scene.

Qiolor publishes a rated 48 V 500 W motor (750 W peak) with 63 N·m, a 48 V 15 Ah battery, a 400 lb maximum load and an 87 lb net weight, on 20 × 4.0 CHAOYANG fat tires with fenders front and rear. It ships as a Class 2 e-bike with a 20 mph default, and Qiolor sizes it for riders 5'1" to 5'9".

The lights are the commuter's case: Qiolor lists a 160 lux headlight, a horn and turn signals. On the brakes, Qiolor's page gives two answers, hydraulic discs on 180 mm rotors in its specification table and mechanical discs in its feature text, so write to us before you order and we will confirm which set your bike carries.

On September 20, 2026, Qiolor listed the TIGER JR at $1,399. On October 19 it was $899, a cut of $500 (35.7%).

Who it is wrong for. Riders taller than 5'9", the top of Qiolor's range: the CMB 8-Speed below fits a wider range, and the Foldtan M-160 runs to 6'3".

Mid: VTUVIA CMB 8-Speed, $1,399

The CMB 8-Speed in Dark Blue: VTUVIA's own photograph of the bike, placed into a generated autumn road scene.

The CMB puts its motor at the cranks. VTUVIA lists a 48 V mid-drive rated 500 W (820 W peak) with 175 N·m working through eight gears, dual Logan hydraulic disc brakes and a 60 lb weight with its rack and fenders fitted, as a Class 2 bike. The battery is printed two ways on that page, 48 V 14.4 Ah (691.2 Wh) in the table and 48 V 15 Ah in the product record.

A mid-drive climbs through the bike's own gears, which is why it suits a commute with real hills. VTUVIA's range figures are 80 miles on pedal assist and 45 on the throttle, and its capacity figure is 300 lb in the table and 330 lb in the record. Our CMB 8-Speed review maps those numbers to rides.

VTUVIA's price on September 20, 2026 was $1,899; it was $1,399 on October 19, $500 lower.

Who it is wrong for. A rider who needs fat tires for sand or snow, which belong to the SF20H, or a bike that folds into a car, which is the Foldtan M-160.

Upper: Addmotor Foldtan M-160, $1,499

The Foldtan M-160 in red: Addmotor's own photograph, cropped to fit.

The Foldtan folds. Addmotor gives it a 48 V 750 W rear geared hub, a built-in 48 V 20 Ah battery (960 Wh), hydraulic disc brakes on 180 mm rotors and 20 × 4.0 fat tires, at 81.6 lb, for riders 5'2" to 6'3". Folded, it measures 34.1 inches long, 16.5 to 20.9 inches wide and 28.3 inches high, so measure your trunk or closet against those three numbers before you order.

Addmotor's range claim is 105 miles at pedal-assist level 1 on its stat strip and "100+ miles" in its feature copy, at a 20 mph top speed. Its load figure appears twice as well: 300 lb on the stat strip and 280 lb in its measurement list. Our Foldtan M-160 review works through the fold, the lift and the range.

Addmotor's own price was $1,599 on September 19, 2026 and was $1,499 on October 19.

Who it is wrong for. Anyone in the 19 states whose definition stops short of 750 W, where the 500 W TIGER JR is the fat-tire answer. At 81.6 lb, it is also a two-handed lift into a car.

Black Friday fat-tire and full-suspension e-bike deals

The rider. Your ride leaves the pavement: beach sand, packed snow, gravel roads, a washboard trail to the lake. Or you simply want the cushion of a four-inch tire under you.

What decides it. Tire width, suspension and battery size, and then the law, because all three picks here carry 750 W motors. That makes each an e-bike in 29 jurisdictions or fewer, and outside the definition in the 19 states whose statute reads "less than" or "fewer than" 750 watts.

Budget: VTUVIA SF20H, $1,299

The SF20H in black: VTUVIA's own photograph of the bike, placed into a generated first-snow scene. On October 19 the deal was on the Red and White versions.

The SF20H is a folding fat-tire bike that can carry two. VTUVIA lists a 48 V 750 W rear motor (1,200 W peak) with 85 N·m, a 48 V 14 Ah battery (672 Wh) with UL 2271 certification, dual Logan hydraulic brakes on 180 mm rotors and 20 × 4.0 tires, with a 330 lb total capacity and a padded passenger seat and foot pegs on its welded rack.

It is a Class 2 bike with a 20 mph default, sized for riders 5'3" to 6'2". VTUVIA prints its weight two ways, 60 lb with racks and fenders on the product page and 70 lb with the battery on its specifications page, and its range as 70 miles on pedal assist and 40 on the throttle. Our SF20H review covers the fold and the passenger rules.

VTUVIA's own price on September 20, 2026: $1,399. On October 19: $1,299.

Who it is wrong for. Riders under 5'3", the bottom of VTUVIA's range, who fit the TIGER RE from 5'1", and anyone in a state whose line stops short of 750 W, where the 500 W TIGER JR rides the same tire width.

Mid: Qiolor TIGER RE, $1,399

The TIGER RE in black with the 35 Ah pack: Qiolor's own photograph of the bike, placed into a generated prairie scene.

The TIGER RE is a battery with a bike around it: Qiolor lists a 48 V 35 Ah removable pack (1,680 Wh by our arithmetic) beside a 48 V 750 W rear hub, 1,100 W at peak, with 85 N·m.

It rolls on 20 × 4.0 INNOVA tires with dual-piston hydraulic brakes, weighs 98 lb with that pack, carries up to 400 lb, and fits riders 5'1" to 5'9", as a Class 2 bike with a 20 mph default.

Qiolor's price was $2,099 on September 20, 2026; it was $1,399 on October 19, $700 (33.3%) lower. Our TIGER RE review works out what that pack means in miles.

Who it is wrong for. Riders taller than 5'9", the top of Qiolor's range: the SF20H fits to 6'2". At 98 lb, it is also a heavy bike to lift onto a car rack.

Upper: Addmotor Soletan M-66X, $1,799

The Soletan M-66X in black: Addmotor's own photograph, cropped to fit.

The Soletan is a full-suspension cruiser with a 23.5-inch banana seat long enough for two. Addmotor lists a 48 V 750 W rear motor, a 48 V 20 Ah Samsung-cell battery certified to UL 2271, a torque sensor with seven assist levels plus a half-twist throttle, and Kenda 20 × 4.0 puncture-resistant tires, with a 300 lb payload for riders and cargo together and a 20 mph top speed.

The frame drops to a 17-inch step, and Addmotor's range claim is up to 105 miles at pedal-assist level 1 at 8 mph.

Its weight is 99 lb without the battery, and Addmotor's own answer on its 20 Ah battery page puts that pack at about 13.2 lb, so the bike as ridden is about 112 lb by our sum. That is over the 100 lb in Pennsylvania's definition. Our Soletan M-66X review covers the seat, the step and who may ride behind you.

Addmotor listed it at $1,899 on September 19, 2026; the price was $1,799 on October 19.

Who it is wrong for. A rider who wants to pedal hard and far: the seat is fixed at 32.5 inches, below the height a standard pedaling formula sets for every rider in our review's fit survey from 5'2" to 6'2", so the SF20H suits a pedaling rider better. In Pennsylvania, or a state whose line stops short of 750 W, read the TIGER JR.

Black Friday electric trike deals

The rider. Balance you would rather not test at a stop sign, knees that dislike a tall step, or errands with a basket that should stay upright while you lock up.

What decides it. A trike's motor and its third wheel both meet the law. Both picks here run 500 W motors, which makes each an e-bike in 40 jurisdictions. Alabama, Idaho, Montana, New Jersey and Rhode Island leave them out, most because their definitions describe a two-wheeled machine, and in Missouri and Vermont the statute's text leaves a trike's status open.

Trikes from 2 brands carried a dated cut on October 19, and this area takes one from each. The other Addmotor trikes with a dated cut, from a two-seat tandem to semi-recumbents and cargo trikes, are in the full table, each with its own count.

Budget: Addmotor Citytan M-315 (500 W), $1,099

The Citytan M-315 in cyan: Addmotor's own photograph, cropped to fit.

The Citytan is a compact folding trike. Addmotor lists a 500 W rear-drive motor (1,100 W peak), a 48 V 13.5 Ah battery (648 Wh), a 50-mile range, a 20 mph top speed and 20 × 3.0 tires on all three wheels, with a differential, a parking brake, mechanical disc brakes on each wheel and 80 mm of fork travel.

It weighs 96 lb with its battery, carries a payload Addmotor writes as 230 + 80 lb, and fits riders 5'1" to 5'9". Folded, it measures 41.3 × 43.3 × 45.3 inches. A 750 W version sells beside it; the 500 W version is the deal here, and the one with the wider legal reach. Our Citytan M-315 review compares the two.

Addmotor's price for the 500 W version was $1,199 on September 19, 2026; it was $1,099 on October 19.

Who it is wrong for. Riders over 5'9" or heavier loads: the NEW-TRIKE 2.0 fits riders to 6'1" and carries 440 lb.

Upper: Eunorau NEW-TRIKE 2.0, $1,999

The NEW-TRIKE 2.0 in Deep Crimson: Eunorau's own picture.

The NEW-TRIKE 2.0 carries more and fits taller riders. Eunorau lists a 48 V 500 W front motor with 80 N·m, a 48 V 20 Ah battery with Samsung cells, a 440 lb payload, INNOVA 20 × 3.0 tires and hydraulic brakes on 180 mm rotors with a motor cut-off sensor and a parking brake. It folds, and Eunorau sizes it for riders 5'1" to 6'1".

Its range is printed as 60 to 100 miles, its top speed as 20 mph, and its weight as 85.9 lb in the geometry chart. The pack works out to 960 Wh. Our NEW-TRIKE 2.0 review maps that range to rides.

Eunorau's own price on September 20, 2026 was $2,499. On October 19 it was $1,999, $500 less.

Who it is wrong for. A rider on a tight budget, who gets three wheels for $1,099 on the Citytan M-315. Like any upright trike, it does not lean into a corner, so take turns slower than you would on two wheels.

Black Friday cargo e-bike deal

The rider. Weekly groceries, sports bags, tools, deliveries: the trips you would otherwise make by car because of what comes home with you.

What decides it. A rated payload big enough for you plus the load, a long rear rack, and a motor your state counts as an e-bike. One cargo bike on sale meets all three, so this area has one pick; the two-motor Tesway C5 AWD is in the off-road area, because no state's e-bike definition admits it, and the Addmotor cargo trikes are in the full table.

Addmotor Graoopro, $1,499

The Graoopro in Neptune Blue: Addmotor's own studio photograph, cropped to fit.

The Graoopro is a longtail with room for a second battery. Addmotor lists a 750 W rear geared motor with up to 80 N·m, a 48 V 20 Ah battery (960 Wh) with a second available, a 450 lb payload and a 20 mph top speed, on a 24 × 2.0 front and 20 × 3.0 rear tire pair with mechanical disc brakes, at 72 lb, for riders 5'4" to 6'2".

Addmotor's range estimate is 105 miles or more at pedal-assist level 1 on one pack and 210 or more with two. Our Graoopro review turns those claims into loaded rides, one pack and two.

Addmotor's price was $1,599 on September 19, 2026; on October 19 it was $1,499.

Who it is wrong for. Riders under 5'4", and riders in the 19 states whose definition stops short of 750 W: for heavy loads on a 500 W motor, the NEW-TRIKE 2.0 carries 440 lb on three wheels.

Black Friday electric dirt bike deals, for off-road riding

The rider. A farm, a ranch, family acreage, or a riding area open to motor vehicles, and a rider who wants a machine with far more power than any e-bike law allows.

What decides it. Each of these three is outside every state's e-bike definition: their published motors and top speeds are beyond all of them. On a public road or path, that puts each under your state's rules for its class of motor vehicle; off the pavement, whoever manages the land decides.

Where a Ranger District has published that map, operating a motor vehicle on its National Forest System lands other than as the map designates is prohibited, and the penalty for breaking a prohibition in that part is "imprisonment of not more than six months or a fine in accordance with the applicable provisions of 18 U.S.C. 3571 or both" (36 CFR 261.1b).

Read your state's off-highway vehicle rules before a minor rides any of the three, since those rules can set ages and supervision of their own.

Budget: Riding'times GT54 Pro, $899

The GT54 Pro off-road: Riding'times' own picture.

The GT54 Pro is a mini dirt bike built for smaller riders. Riding'times lists a 3,000 W peak rear hub motor with 338 N·m, a 60 V 25 Ah battery (1,500 Wh), hydraulic disc brakes front and rear with an electronic brake, and 60/100-14 front and 60/100-12 rear tires. It weighs 102.5 lb and carries up to 220 lb.

Riding'times gives 50 mph in its specification table, a figure it measured without a rider, and 49 mph under test conditions in its FAQ, a range of up to 62 miles and a recommended height of 4'2" to 5'9", and calls it "ideal for teenagers, new riders, and anyone looking to start exploring off-road adventures with confidence and ease." Our GT54 Pro review sets out where it can be ridden.

On September 20, 2026, Riding'times' own price was $1,299. On October 19 it was $899, $400 (30.8%) less.

Who it is wrong for. Riders over 5'9" or 220 lb: the M23 fits riders 5'4" to 6'5".

Mid: Smartravel M23, $1,249.99

The M23 on a dirt track: Smartravel's own picture.

The M23 is a full-size electric dirt bike. Smartravel lists a rear hub motor of 3,000 W nominal and 6,500 W peak with 200 N·m, a removable 60 V 30 Ah battery (1,800 Wh) and 70/100-19 tires, with hydraulic disc brakes front and rear and two riding modes: Eco at 28 mph and Sport at 50 mph.

Smartravel puts the weight at 117 lb, the rider height at 5'4" to 6'5", and the range at 37 to 56 miles in its specification table, against 65 miles on its spec strip. Our M23 review works both range figures through.

Smartravel's price on October 4, 2026 was $1,349.99; ours, matched to Smartravel's on October 19, was $1,249.99.

Who it is wrong for. A younger or shorter rider, who fits the GT54 Pro from 4'2".

Upper: Tesway C5 AWD, $1,999

The C5 AWD in black on a farm: Tesway's own picture, cropped to fit.

The C5 AWD is a longtail with two motors, front and rear, and a very large battery. Tesway lists 200 N·m, a 52 V 60 Ah battery (3,120 Wh in its manual), four-piston hydraulic brakes on 203 mm rotors and 20 × 4.0 Kenda tires, with a 450 lb payload at 132 lb.

Its page rates the motors at 2,000 W together, 3,600 W at peak, while the specification table in its manual gives 250 W; at its published 38 mph top speed it is outside every definition this page screens, whichever rating applies.

Tesway publishes a 38 mph top speed and ships it set to 16 mph by default. Its range figures are 200 miles on pedal assist and 180 miles on electric power alone. Our C5 AWD review lays out where it can be ridden.

Tesway's own price on September 20, 2026 was $2,199; ours was $1,999 on October 19. Tesway listed it at $2,099 and printed a $100 code, BF100, on its own product page; our price already has the code taken off, so you need no code here.

Who it is wrong for. Anyone who needs to ride a cargo bike on public streets as an e-bike, who should read the Graoopro, an e-bike in 29 jurisdictions.

Tesway's own price after its $100 code BF100, matched on October 19; free shipping across the contiguous United States, with warranty claims handled through us; Tesway's own gifts, $253.93 at Tesway's prices, ship with it.

How do you tell a real Black Friday price drop from a struck price?

Look for an earlier price with a date on it. A struck "compare at" figure tells you what a seller says a bike is worth; a dated earlier price tells you what the bike actually cost, and only the second one proves a drop.

Struck prices are everywhere. On October 19, 2026, 299 of the 441 versions we matched across 11 makers' US stores (67.8%) showed a struck figure beside the selling price, and our store prints the maker's own figure on 299 of them. So a strike alone cannot separate a Black Friday cut from an ordinary week.

The federal standard. The Federal Trade Commission's Guides Against Deceptive Pricing say a former price is a fair basis for a comparison when it is "the actual, bona fide price at which the article was offered to the public on a regular basis for a reasonably substantial period of time" (16 CFR 233.1(a)).

The same section warns sellers to avoid implying that a former price "is a selling, not an asking price" unless substantial sales were made at it.

Where the authority comes from, and how old it is. The guides rest on Section 5 of the FTC Act, which declares "unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce" unlawful (15 U.S.C. § 45(a)(1)), and they have stood since the Commission published them in 1967 (32 FR 15534).

What a state can add. California's false advertising law bars advertising a former price unless it was "the prevailing market price . . . within three months next immediately preceding the publication of the advertisement or unless the date when the alleged former price did prevail is clearly, exactly and conspicuously stated in the advertisement" (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17501, as quoted by the Ninth Circuit). That second route, a stated date, is the one this page takes on every row.

How it gets enforced. Shoppers have taken stores to court over it. In Hinojos v. Kohl's Corp., the Ninth Circuit let a shopper's claim over "sale" prices go forward even though he kept what he bought, noting that "both state and federal law specifically prohibit retailers from advertising false 'sales'" (No. 11-55793, May 21, 2013).

Every earlier price on this page is the maker's own price for the same version on a date we print, never a struck figure and never presented as our store's own former price.

Before you buy anywhere this Black Friday, run the same three checks:

1. Find a date. A price drop worth the name says when the higher price was charged. If a listing will not tell you, assume the strike is a reference price.
2. Match the version. Battery size, motor and color change the price; compare the same version on the maker's own store.
3. Check the archive. The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine keeps dated captures of many web pages, makers' product pages among them, so a past price can often be read off the page itself.

Are e-bike prices coming down?

On the makers' own stores, more prices have come down than gone up since our first reads in September and early October. Of the 431 versions we read at least twice, 116 (26.9%) cost less on October 19, 2026 than at our first read, 12 (2.8%) cost more, and 303 had not moved.

Read that as a measurement of a few weeks, not a forecast. The first reads date from September 19, September 20, October 4, so the window covers the run-up to the holiday season and nothing earlier, and a maker can move a price back up as easily as down. What each maker did last November is the nearest guide to what may come.

The 37 deals at the top of this page are drawn from the lower group: versions the maker has in stock and our store sells at the price the maker charges.

What did each maker do for Black Friday 2025?

Last year's sales started early and stated their discounts as "up to" figures. These are the words on each maker's own US store, read from dated captures in the Internet Archive.

For this year, that means a maker's sale can open weeks before Black Friday, as Addmotor's did on November 1, and an "up to" banner names the biggest cut on one model, not the cut on the bike you want. That is why this page prints each bike's own dated price, and re-reads all of them every day from November 22 to 30.

Should you buy now or wait for Cyber Monday?

Buy now if the bike you want is already on this list at a saving you are happy with; wait if it is not here yet and you can live with the risk of a sold-out version. Five facts decide it:

• Prices move both ways. Since our first reads, 12 versions on the makers' stores went up while 116 came down, so waiting can save more or cost more.
• One maker says its early price is its Black Friday price. Tesway's own site banner, read on October 19, 2026, says its early Black Friday sale is live at the "SAME PRICES AS BLACK FRIDAY!"
• Stock decides what is on this list. A deal here needs the maker to show the version in stock, and a popular color can sell out at the maker before the sale ends.
• Gifts need shipping time. For a bike under the tree on December 24, order by Monday, December 7, the arithmetic in the dates section on our shipping policy.
• Ask about a later price drop before you pay. The Federal Trade Commission suggests finding out, before you buy, whether you would get a credit or refund if the item went on sale the following week (FTC, Online Shopping). Ask us at support@redtailebikes.com before you order, and get the answer in writing.

If you decide to wait, bookmark this page: from November 22 to 30, every price on it is re-read against the maker's own store each day, and the table is updated each day.

Are Walmart, Amazon, Best Buy and Costco e-bike deals worth it?

They can be, once you know who is selling the bike. In September we read Best Buy's whole electric-bike category, every Costco e-bike listing and 55 live Walmart listings, a floor because Walmart's own shelves would not give a full count. At Walmart and Best Buy the first finding was the same: the store's name on the page is often not the seller's.

Black Friday listings will differ from September's, and the September census covered Walmart, Best Buy and Costco only. For the other kinds of store, from brand-direct sites to shops you can walk into, read our guide to where to buy an e-bike. The checks below work on any of them:

1. Name the seller. Find the "sold by" line and decide whether that company is the one you want handling a warranty claim.
2. Read the return line for e-bikes. Some stores treat electric bikes differently from the rest of their shelf, as Best Buy's nonreturnable list shows.
3. Look for the certification. UL 2849 is the safety standard for an e-bike's electrical system, and UL 2271 covers user-replaceable battery packs. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has proposed a mandatory rule built on both, with modifications (91 FR 38162, June 24, 2026); as of October 19, 2026 it is a proposal, with oral comments set for October 21 (91 FR 63208).
4. Check the law where you ride. A bike's motor and top speed decide whether your state counts it as an e-bike, wherever you bought it; the legal matrix shows how each deal here fares, and our state-by-state law table covers helmet, age and local rules.

The same checks apply here, and you can read our answers in why buy here.

Are online e-bike Black Friday deals legit?

Most are, and the fakes give themselves away in how they ask to be paid and how little they let you check. The Federal Trade Commission's shopping advice comes down to four moves (FTC, Online Shopping):

1. Pay by credit card. The FTC calls a credit card the method that best protects your money if a seller turns out to be a scam or something else goes wrong.
2. Walk away from odd payment requests. A seller that will take only gift cards, wire transfers, a payment app or cryptocurrency is the pattern the FTC warns against.
3. Search before you buy. Look up the store's name with the words "complaint" or "scam," and read what other buyers report.
4. Keep the records. Save the order confirmation, the receipt and the emails, so you can hold a seller to what it promised.

If a charge goes wrong on a credit card, federal law gives you a dispute route: a written notice of the billing error that reaches the card issuer, at the address it gives for billing errors, within sixty days after it sent you the statement (15 U.S.C. § 1666(a)).

You can check us the same way. Our contact page lists a phone number and an email inbox staffed by people, our terms of service name the company behind the store, and our shipping and refund policies are published in full.

Why buy your Black Friday e-bike here

Our Black Friday sale is the makers' own cuts, matched and dated: our price for every version on this page equals what the maker charges, read on both stores on October 19, 2026. What comes with the price is the same every day of the year:

• The maker's own price. Every price here equals what the maker charges for the same version: its listed US price, less any code it prints on its own product page, read the same day, and the earlier price beside it is the maker's own, with its date.
• The maker's gifts ship too. On 24 of the 37 deals, our listing names free gifts the maker includes with the bike on its own store, worth $129.98 to $806.99 at the maker's prices, and they ship with your order.
• Free shipping across the lower 48. Every electric bike ships free within the contiguous United States under our shipping policy; Alaska and Hawaii are outside the delivery area.
• Dispatched fast. Orders are dispatched within 1 to 3 business days of confirmation, and most e-bikes arrive within 5 to 10 business days after dispatch.
• We file the damage claim. Note any damage with the carrier and email us photos within 48 hours of delivery, and we file the carrier claim and arrange a repair or replacement (our refund policy).
• Warranty claims go through us. A bike that will not power on, will not charge, shows an error code or has a faulty part is covered under the maker's warranty, and we coordinate the repair or replacement.
• Real people answer. Email support@redtailebikes.com and we typically respond within one business day, or call +1 213-444-4020 and leave a voicemail, which is always returned (contact page).
• Pay the way you prefer. Checkout takes Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay alongside cards.
• A store you can identify. The company that runs Redtail eBikes is named in our terms of service.

The honest ledger

What a measured Black Friday deal gets you, and where a given deal is the wrong buy, with the pick to read instead.

What a measured deal gets you

• A saving you can check: every earlier price on this page is the maker's own, on a date we print, and the deals data carries each row's dated price history.
• What the maker charges, matched on October 19, on a store that ships free across the lower 48 and handles warranty claims through us.
• A legal count on every row, so you know before you buy whether your state treats the machine as an e-bike.
• Savings of $50 to $700, median $200, across 7 brands.

Where a deal is the wrong buy, and what to read instead

• In the 19 states whose definition reads "less than" or "fewer than" 750 watts, every 750 W deal is outside the definition: read the 500 W TIGER JR or CMB 8-Speed, or on three wheels the Citytan M-315 or NEW-TRIKE 2.0.
• Riders taller than 5'9" are past Qiolor's range on the TIGER JR and TIGER RE: the SF20H fits to 6'2" and the Foldtan M-160 to 6'3".
• A rider who wants to pedal at full leg extension will find the Soletan M-66X's fixed seat low: the SF20H is the fat-tire bike for pedaling.
• Anyone who needs to ride on public roads as an e-bike should skip the GT54 Pro, M23 and C5 AWD, which no state's definition admits: the Graoopro carries 450 lb as an e-bike in 29 jurisdictions.
• Against our own interest: if the bike you want is not on this list, a price cut on a bike you do not need is not a saving. Keep the money, and check the table again from November 22.

Limitations

Eleven limits on what this page establishes, numbered so each can be checked against the data published with it.

1. Every figure is verified against the maker's published specification and recomputed. Motors, batteries, weights, loads, speeds, tires, brakes and rider heights were read on each maker's US page on October 19, 2026, and prices and stock on the makers' stores and ours on October 19, 2026. Where a maker prints a figure two ways, both appear: the TIGER JR's brakes, the CMB 8-Speed's battery and capacity, the Foldtan M-160's range and load, the SF20H's weight, the GT54 Pro's top speed and the M23's range.
2. The earlier price is the maker's price at our first dated read, September 19, September 20, October 4, 2026. It is not the maker's highest or lowest price ever, and a maker may have charged more or less before that date.
3. Prices are read once a day. A maker can change a price between reads, so each figure is true on its read date, printed at the top of the page.
4. A deal needs five things at once: a lower maker price than at our first read, our price equal to what the maker charges, no lower price in the maker's own cart where it could be read, the maker showing the version in stock, and our store able to sell it. A cheaper version that misses any one of them is not on the list. One further model passed every test on October 19, 2026 and is held off this page until our own review of it is complete.
5. The legal screen reads each statute's e-bike definition and nothing else (the matrix). It applies the published motor rating, top speed, throttle and weight, a trike's wheel count, and New York's width limb; it does not cover age, helmet, local or public-land rules. Alaska and Kentucky have no e-bike definition in statute to screen against (the matrix names the sections read), so no row counts either state, and riders there should ask their city, county or borough how it treats e-bikes. Where a maker prints two weights, the heavier was screened.
6. One weight is our sum. The Soletan M-66X is screened at about 112 lb, Addmotor's 99 lb without the battery plus the 13.2 lb its battery page gives for the pack. Addmotor's post of April 21, 2025 gives 83.8 lb, which would put the Soletan inside Pennsylvania's 100 lb limb as well.
7. Some trike readings are not settled. In Missouri and Vermont the statute's text leaves a trike's status open, and for Arkansas and Connecticut whether a three-wheeler counts could not be confirmed from the statute's text, so a trike that otherwise fits is counted as not settled in each.
8. The 2025 table is a set of dated captures. A capture shows a store at one moment, a banner shown on other days may be missing from it, and no capture of Eunorau's or Riding'times' US store from the season could be read.
9. The retailer figures are from September 2026. The Walmart, Best Buy and Costco findings were read on September 3 and 6, 2026, before any Black Friday listing went up.
10. The federal battery rule is a proposal. As of October 19, 2026, the Consumer Product Safety Commission's rule is at the proposal stage, with oral comments set for October 21, 2026.
11. The checkout read covers public prices. Each version goes into the maker's own cart with no code, or with the code the maker prints on its own product page. App-only coupons, emailed codes and sign-up offers are not public prices, and none of them is matched here.

Expiry conditions. Re-check this page every day from November 22 to 30, 2026; when the Consumer Product Safety Commission publishes a final battery rule; when any state amends its e-bike definition; and when a maker changes a published motor, battery, weight or load figure, or a pick sells out.

Frequently asked questions

Do electric bikes go on sale for Black Friday?

Yes, and some already have. On October 19, 2026, 37 bikes, trikes and electric dirt bikes on our store cost less than their makers' own prices at our first reads in September and early October, by $50 to $700. In 2025, Addmotor's Black Friday offer ran from November 1 to 30, and Smartravel, Tesway and VTUVIA each ran a Black Friday promotion on their own stores.

When is Cyber Monday 2026?

Cyber Monday 2026 is Monday, November 30. Thanksgiving falls on November 26, the fourth Thursday in November, and Black Friday follows on November 27. Every price on this page is re-read against the maker's own store each day from November 22 through Cyber Monday.

When do e-bikes go on sale?

Late November is the season to watch. At least four of the seven makers in this guide ran Black Friday promotions on their own US stores in the 2025 season, and Addmotor's began on November 1. This year, 37 models were already below their makers' September and early October prices on October 19, 2026.

Are Black Friday e-bike deals worth it?

A deal is worth it when the earlier price has a date, the bike fits your ride, and your state counts it as an e-bike. Every deal here meets the first test, the picks are matched to riders for the second, and every row prints its legal count for the third. A struck price with no date proves nothing.

Are Cyber Monday e-bike deals better than Black Friday?

Not by rule; the price on the day you buy is what counts. Addmotor's 2025 offer ran from November 1 to 30 and covered both days. This page re-reads every price daily through Cyber Monday, November 30, so a cut made on either day shows up in the table.

Should I wait for Cyber Monday to buy an e-bike?

Only if the bike you want is not on this list yet. Since our first reads, 116 versions on the makers' stores came down and 12 went up, so waiting can go either way, and a popular color can sell out first. For delivery by December 24, order by December 7.

Are e-bike prices coming down?

On the makers' own stores, more have come down than gone up lately: 116 of 431 versions (26.9%) were lower on October 19, 2026 than at our first read, and 12 were higher. That covers a few weeks before the holidays. It is a measurement, and it does not say where prices go after Black Friday.

What electric bike should I buy on Black Friday?

Start from your ride. For a commute under $1,000, the TIGER JR at $899; for hills, the CMB 8-Speed at $1,399; for sand and snow, the SF20H at $1,299; for three wheels, the Citytan M-315 at $1,099; for cargo, the Graoopro at $1,499. Check your state's count in the table first.

Are there e-bike Black Friday deals at Walmart?

Walmart lists e-bikes from many sellers. When we opened 55 Walmart e-bike listings on September 6, 2026, 10 named Walmart.com as the seller and 38 named a third-party company, across 28 sellers (our Walmart census). Before you buy there, find the seller, its return terms and the battery's certification.

Does Costco sell e-bikes for Black Friday?

Costco.com listed seven electric two- and three-wheelers on September 3, 2026, five of them electric bicycles under federal law (our Costco census). Black Friday listings will differ, so check each model's motor and top speed against your state's definition before you buy.

Is an e-bike Cyber Monday deal legit?

Check three things: an earlier price with a date, a seller you can reach by phone or email, and a payment method that protects you. The FTC says paying by credit card best protects your money, and a seller that takes only gift cards, wire transfers, payment apps or cryptocurrency fits the pattern it warns against.

Is there an e-bike Black Friday promo code?

No code is needed for any price on this page: each is what the maker charges, matched on our store. Where a maker prints its own code, our price already has it taken off: on October 19, BF100 took $100 off the Tesway C5 AWD. If another store offers a code, compare the price after the code with the dated prices here, version for version.

Are Black Friday e-bike batteries safe?

Look for the certification. UL 2849 is the safety standard for an e-bike's electrical system and UL 2271 for user-replaceable battery packs, and the makers of the SF20H, Soletan M-66X and Graoopro list UL 2271 batteries on their pages. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has proposed a mandatory battery rule built on these standards.

Are the e-bikes on sale street legal?

It depends on the bike and your state. The 500 W picks are e-bikes in 48 of 51 jurisdictions, the 750 W picks in 28 or 29, the 500 W trikes in 40, and the three off-road picks in none. The deals table prints the count for every row.

Is a clearance e-bike a better deal than Black Friday?

Only if its price beats the maker's own price for the same version. Ask whether the bike is a previous model year and whether the store's return terms differ for clearance items, then compare it with the dated prices in this guide.

Are there Black Friday deals on electric dirt bikes?

Yes. On October 19, 2026, the Riding'times GT54 Pro was $899, the GT54 $699, the GT73 $1,349, the GT73 Pro $1,849, and the Smartravel M23 $1,249.99, each below its maker's earlier price. None is an e-bike under any state's definition, so ride them on private land and routes open to motor vehicles.

What is the best fat-tire e-bike deal this Black Friday?

For range, the Qiolor TIGER RE at $1,399, down from $2,099, carries a 48 V 35 Ah pack for riders 5'1" to 5'9". Taller riders fit the VTUVIA SF20H at $1,299, which folds. Where your state's line stops short of 750 W, the 500 W TIGER JR at $899 rides the same tire width.

The bottom line

Buy the deal that fits the ride you have, at a price you can date. For commuting, the TIGER JR at $899 is an e-bike in 48 jurisdictions, and the CMB 8-Speed at $1,399 climbs on a 175 N·m mid-drive. For range on fat tires, the TIGER RE carries a 35 Ah pack for $1,399, down from Qiolor's $2,099.

On three wheels, the Citytan M-315 starts at $1,099, and the NEW-TRIKE 2.0 carries 440 lb for $1,999. Whatever you choose, read its legal count for your state first, and come back from November 22 to 30, when every price here is re-read each day.
