How We Define "Cheap" at Varun
In the world of micromobility, the term cheap ebikes often gets a bad rap. To us, it simply means accessible transportation. We achieve these prices by focusing on essential engineering: robust motors, long-lasting battery cells, and durable frames. We don't spend millions on celebrity endorsements; we invest in quality testing so you can ride a budget-friendly electric bicycle that doesn't feel like a compromise.
Affordable Mobility for Everyone
A low-cost ebike can be a life-changer. It opens up new job opportunities, makes campus life easier, and turns a sweaty commute into a breeze. Our economical ebikes are designed with simplicity in mind, using standardized parts that are easy to maintain and service at any local bike shop.
Safety Certifications Matter
Don't buy a cheap motorized bike that hasn't been tested. Every bike in our collection meets rigorous safety standards. We use flame-retardant battery casings and stable charging systems, ensuring that your discount ebike is safe to charge in your apartment or garage.

FAQs
Q1: Are cheap electric bikes actually safe?
Yes, if they are certified. Varun’s affordable bikes use tested lithium-ion cells and UL-compliant chargers to ensure rider safety.
Q2: Why are Varun ebikes cheaper than big-box store brands?
We are a direct-to-consumer brand. We skip the retail markup and pass those savings directly to you.
Q3: How long will a budget ebike battery last?
With proper care, our batteries last 3-5 years (about 800-1000 charge cycles) before you’ll notice a drop in range.
Q4: Can a cheap ebike handle rain?
Our economical models are water-resistant (IP54 rated). They can handle light rain and puddles, but shouldn't be submerged.
Q5: What’s the top speed of your affordable models?
Most reach 15-20 mph, which is the sweet spot for street-legal urban riding in the US.
Q6: Do these bikes come with a warranty?
Yes! Even our lowest-priced ebikes come with a 1-year warranty on the motor and battery.
Q7: Is it hard to find replacement parts for cheaper bikes?
Not at all. We use standard bicycle components (Shimano, etc.) that any local shop can repair or replace.
Q8: Do cheap ebikes have enough power for hills?
They are great for moderate hills. For very steep terrain, you'll need to use pedal assist to help the motor along.
Q9: Are budget ebikes heavy?
Our cheap commuter ebikes are surprisingly light, often under 50 lbs, making them easy to carry into an apartment.
Q10: Which is the best cheap ebike for a beginner?
We recommend our Folding Series. It’s versatile, easy to use, and offers the best value for new riders.
