If you’ve been waiting for an excuse to try a premium German-made mid-drive e-bike without paying premium German-made prices, Ride1Up may have just handed you one

What's Happening

The San Diego, California-based company has dropped the price of its Prodigy V2 to just $1,595 , marking the lowest price we’ve seen yet on the bike and shaving nearly $1,000 off its usual $2,495 MSRP.

Why This Matters for EV Owners

The Bigger Picture

This development reflects broader shifts in the European EV market as charging infrastructure expands and new models enter the market..

What This Means for Your Wallet

Based on current European charging rates, DC fast charging costs between €0.30-0.65 per kWh depending on the network and country. This translates to roughly 40-60% savings compared to equivalent petrol costs. A typical fast-charging session takes 20-45 min (10-80% DC fast) — enough time for a coffee break on a long trip.

What to Watch Next

As the EV landscape continues to evolve, developments like this shape the transition to electric mobility across Europe..
