Electric bikes come in a wide range of prices. The more expensive models are made with high-quality components and have more powerful motors than the cheaper ones. This means they can be used as a daily commuter or as a mountain bike, while the cheaper models are better suited to use on paved roads only and won’t last as long.

The most common type of e-bike is an electric mountain bike or ‘pedelec’ which is equipped with Bosch Performance engine systems, making them easy to ride uphill and downhill over rough terrain. These bikes typically cost between N$10 000 (1 200 euros) for entry-level versions up to N$16 000 (2 000 euros).

The cost of an e-bike depends on the type, quality and battery. A basic e-bike should cost around N$ 4 000 to 6 000 or 500 to 800 euros. An e-bike with a good Bosch Performance engine and high-quality components can cost from N$10 000 to 16 000 or 1 200 to 2 000 euros.

Where to buy electric bikes in Namibia?

You can buy electric bikes in Namibia from several retailers. Many of these retailers offer a wide range of options and brands, including world-renowned companies such as YikeBike and Pedego. If you’re looking to buy an electric bike online, there are many online retailers that will ship your purchase directly to you in Namibia.

Besides local distributors and importers like Cycle & Sports in Windhoek, Trek Africa is another retailer that ships internationally. If you’re not planning on flying with your new wheels (which we recommend), shipping may be more cost-effective than bringing your bike over from Europe or the United States by plane or boat.
