The short version

Nine moped-style e-bikes are on our floor in 2026, all of them Class 2 as delivered. Best for most riders: the Macfox X1S at $1,399. Best for a passenger or cargo: the Freego Shotgun Prime F2 Pro at $1,299, rated to 330 lb with a Shimano 7-speed. Best for shorter riders: the Freego Shotgun Lite F0 at $1,299, built for 4'11" to 5'11". Longest range: the Freego Flash F3 Pro Max at $1,679 with a 2,640 Wh pack. Best ride: the Macfox X2 Pro at $2,199, the only full-suspension bike from Macfox.

A moped-style e-bike is a Class 2 electric bicycle (pedals, a throttle, a 20 mph motor ceiling) built on a moped silhouette: long bench or banana seat, 4 to 5-inch tires, a low step. It is not a dirt bike and it is not a bicycle-shaped commuter, which is why our store files these nine in their own moped-style collection. We sell every one of them; the figures below are copied from our product pages, and the prices are today's.

Which moped-style e-bikes do we sell, and how do they compare?

Macfox X7 500 W, 750 W peak 624 Wh Up to 35 mi (70 dual) 87 lb / 330 lb from $1,599

Macfox X2 Pro 750 W, 1,000 W peak 960 Wh Up to 40 mi (80 dual) 72 lb / 330 lb $2,199

Every bike in the table has hydraulic disc brakes except the M16 (mechanical), and every one but the Macfox X1S, Bs.zay and M16 has suspension at both ends. Range figures are each maker's own; treat the low end of a Freego span, or roughly 60% of a Macfox "up to", as the planning number.

What is the best moped-style e-bike for most riders?

Macfox X1S, $1,399

The X1S wins on the boring things: 65 lb (the lightest full-size bike on this list), a 33-inch seat, UL 2849 certification, a 2-year warranty, and 33 parts in its own collection, which is more than any other moped-style platform we sell. The 500 Wh pack and 28-mile rating are modest, and the dual-battery version at $1,698 doubles them. Read the X1S review or the Macfox lineup comparison.

Which moped-style e-bike is best for carrying a passenger or cargo?

Freego Shotgun Prime F2 Pro, $1,299

The F2 Pro is rated to 330 lb, 110 lb more than the F0 or the F3 Pro Max, on a long bench seat, and it is the only Shotgun with gears: a Shimano 7-speed, which matters far more on a loaded bike than an empty one. A 750 W rear hub (1,400 W peak) and a 1,080 Wh pack rated 31 to 50 miles, full suspension, hydraulic discs, 112 lb. Freego fits it to riders 5'4" to 6'5". Charge time is the trade: 10 to 12 hours on the 2 A charger. Parts are in the F2 Pro collection.

Which moped-style e-bike fits a shorter rider?

Freego Shotgun Lite F0, $1,299

Most 20 x 4 moped-style bikes start at about 5'3"; Freego builds the F0 for 4'11" to 5'11". It is also the lightest fat-tire bike Freego makes at 104 lb, with a 500 W hub (1,000 W peak), a 600 Wh pack rated 18 to 30 miles, full suspension and hydraulic discs. Freego lists it as Class 2 with the throttle at 20 mph, adjustable to 28 mph on pedal assist. Parts: F0 collection. For a rider under 4'11", the Macfox M16 at $1,099 starts at 3'11" with a 28.7-inch seat, though it uses mechanical brakes.

Which moped-style e-bike has the longest range?

Freego Flash F3 Pro Max, $1,679

The F3 Pro Max carries a 48V 55Ah dual pack, 2,640 Wh, and Freego quotes 60 to 103 miles, which is more energy than most electric dirt bikes on this store carry. Two 750 W rear hub motors (1,000 W each at peak) drive it. Two honest caveats from its own product page: it weighs 130 lb, and although Freego lists it as a Class 2 bike delivered at 20 mph, 750 W x 2 sits above the 750 W federal definition of a low-speed electric bicycle, so check your state's rules before treating it as a bicycle. Charge time is 10 to 12 hours. Parts: F3 Pro Max collection.

Which moped-style e-bike rides the most like a motorcycle?

Freego X1 SE, $1,599

The X1 SE is the road-legal member of Freego's X1 dirt bike family: the same steel chassis, 17-inch alloy spoke wheels on 70/100-17 motorcycle-grade tires, four-piston hydraulic brakes and a 60V 25Ah pack (1,620 Wh), but a 750 W nominal motor and pedals, which keep it inside Class 2. Freego rates it at 20 mph on throttle and 28 mph with pedal assist, 20 to 50 miles, 117 lb, riders 5'3" to 6'1". Turn signals and a brake light come fitted. Parts: X1 SE collection.

Which moped-style e-bike has the best ride quality?

Macfox X2 Pro, $2,199

The only Macfox sprung at both ends, with the strongest Macfox motor (750 W, 1,000 W peak, 65 N·m) and the biggest Macfox battery (960 Wh, up to 40 miles, 80 with a second pack), on 20 x 4.5 / 5.0-inch tires with a 330 lb rating, at 72 lb. It stays at 20 mph. For heavier riders on a budget, the Macfox X7 from $1,599 carries the same tires and 330 lb rating with front suspension only and four-piston brakes. See the X2 Pro review.

What did we leave off this list, and why?

The Heybike Titan at $1,399 is moto-styled, full-suspension and fat-tired, but it is a bicycle-shaped Class 2 commuter, so it lives in our commuter roundup. The Coswheel R6000 and R19, the Heybike Villain and the Freego X-series look moped-adjacent but are 40 to 60 mph off-road machines with no class rating; they are dirt bikes, and our under-$2,000 dirt bike roundup covers them.

Key takeaways

All nine are Class 2 as delivered, so none of them is faster than another on the street. Under $1,400: X1S for the parts catalog and light weight, F2 Pro for load, F0 for fit. $1,600 to $1,700: X7 for heavier riders, X1 SE for moto hardware, F3 Pro Max for range. $2,199: X2 Pro for suspension and battery. Shipping is free on every bike; bike returns are 14 days with a 25% restocking fee.

Questions, answered

What is a moped-style electric bike?
A Class 2 electric bicycle (pedals, a throttle, a 20 mph motor ceiling) built on a moped frame: a long bench or banana seat, 4 to 5-inch fat tires and a low step. It is street legal as a bicycle in most US states, unlike an electric dirt bike.
Are moped-style e-bikes street legal?
The nine here are sold as Class 2 e-bikes, which most states treat as bicycles: no license, registration or insurance. Rules on where Class 2 bikes may ride vary by state and city, and the dual-motor Freego F3 Pro Max exceeds the 750 W federal bicycle definition, so check locally.
What is the cheapest moped-style e-bike we sell?
The Macfox M16 at $1,099, a youth-scaled bike for riders from 3'11". The cheapest full-size options are the Freego Shotgun Lite F0 and Shotgun Prime F2 Pro at $1,299.
Which moped-style e-bike has the biggest battery?
The Freego Flash F3 Pro Max with a 2,640 Wh dual pack rated 60 to 103 miles. Next is the Freego X1 SE at 1,620 Wh, then the F2 Pro at 1,080 Wh and the Macfox X2 Pro at 960 Wh.
Do moped-style e-bikes have pedals?
Yes. Every bike on this list has pedals, and they are what make it an e-bike rather than a moped. Most riders use the throttle for most of the ride, and the pedals as a backup.
