Electric vehicles are amazing – quiet, clean, high tech. But, let’s be real: many EVs come with price tags that make your eyebrows go up. If you’re feeling like the cost of a car with a battery is too steep, there’s a fun alternative: e-bikes. Some car brands are now selling or licensing e-bikes, so you get some of the style, brand prestige, and innovation with the caveat that they’re on two wheels instead of four. What you lose in horsepower you often gain in portability, lower cost, and the joy of riding outside. And sometimes, if your daily trips are short (commute, errands, stuff nearby), an e-bike can make a lot more sense than a full-blown EV.
In 2025, more automakers are treating e-bikes as part of their mobility portfolio. It’s like they’re saying: “Okay, not everyone needs, or can afford, an EV, so here’s a bike version.” These bikes range from rugged off-road models to lifestyle urban rides, and even quirky cargo haulers. They usually come via joint ventures or licensing: the car brand lends its design cues, branding, and maybe some engineering input while a bike maker provides most of the bicycle-specific tech (motors, batteries, frames).
Here are 10 car brands that currently have e-bikes (or collaborations), what types of e-bikes they offer, how many, how much they cost, and whether you can actually buy them stateside without too much hassle.
To give you the most up-to-date and accurate information possible, the data used to compile this article was sourced from the respective manufacturers and their collaborators. Whereas, the opinions are our own.
Audi
eMTB
Audi has entered the e-bike space via collaboration with Fantic, under its e-tron/performance lines. One example is the Audi eMTB, which blends styling from their e-tron aesthetics with bike technology. As of now, availability in the U.S. seems limited to via pre-order, specialty dealers, or performance/lifestyle shops. A modest 250 Watt motor provides 66.3 pound-feet of torque, amounting to a top speed of up to 20 mph and a range of up to 90 miles, both of which depend on terrain, riding modes, and other factors. According to a 2024 press release, the eMTB retails at $9,795 MSRP. Again, the bike is currently available for pre-orders, so you may want to check with your local dealer. If you want the Audi brand and prestige, this is an option, but expect it to cost a pretty penny.
Highlights:
- Mid-drive motors tuned for eMTB use (varies by spec, usually ~250 watts nominal, strong torque for climbs).
- Built more for style + performance balance, not raw high-power off-road punch.
- U.S. versions limited, but align with Audi’s RS / e-tron design cues.
Ford
Mustang eBike
Ford has gone all-in. In mid-2024, Ford announced, in collaboration with N+ Bikes, e-bikes based on their iconic Bronco and Mustang models. The Mustang eBike starts at about $4,000, and the Bronco version at about $4,500. These are Class-3 e-bikes in the U.S. (meaning pedal assist up to ~28 mph), with 750-watt hub motors, and an advertised range of around 60 miles depending on use. There are a few variants: the standard ones plus a Mustang 60th Anniversary Edition limited to about 500 units. So, Ford has a small but well-defined lineup. Availability, too, is good, and you can order through Ford’s eBikes site.
Highlights:
- 750-watt hub motors (Class 3, pedal assist up to 28 mph).
- Range of ~60 miles depending on terrain and rider.
- Three editions: Mustang, Bronco, plus limited Mustang 60th Anniversary.
Porsche
eBike Sport, eBike Cross, eBike Cross Performance
Porsche has one of the more ambitious e-bike lines. They have multiple models, such as their Porsche eBike Sport, Porsche eBike Cross, and newer “Performance” editions, including the Cross Performance. The high-end ones are built with carbon frames, designed off-road suspensions, strong motor units, and premium components. Prices, however, are steep, starting around $9,500. Now, on the availability front, Porsche sells them via their online shop and select Porsche Centers, but there are delays and stock issues. So, if you really want a premium eMTB with car brand prestige, this is in the upper tier.
Highlights:
- Uses Shimano EP-801 mid-drive motor (62.6 pound-feet torque).
- Paired with big batteries for long off-road performance.
- High-end builds include lightweight carbon frames + full suspension.
Jeep
e-Bike
Jeep has teamed up with QuietKat to make rugged, all-terrain e-bikes that lean into Jeep’s rough-road, outdoorsy identity. The lineup isn’t huge: there are several configurations with different motor and battery options (750-watt nominal / 1000-watt upgrades, fat tires, etc.), often built to handle trail, snow, sand, or rough terrain. A well-known model is the QuietKat Jeep Rubicon. Prices are more than reasonable, starting at just about $2,500 (on sale at the time of writing). Some more exotic or upgraded versions go well beyond that with higher power, bigger battery, etc. Availability in the U.S. is good, with QuietKat selling directly and various outdoor shops carrying the models. These bikes are heavy, powerful, and made for serious off-road or adventure-type usage.
Highlights:
- 750-watt standard motor, optional 1000-watt upgrade.
- AWD-style fat-tire design built for rugged off-road.
- Long-range batteries with adjustable pedal assist modes.
McLaren
eMTB Range (Extreme And Sport Models)
McLaren, known for its supercars and Formula One pedigree, has launched a four-model eMTB range: two “Extreme” models and two “Sport” models. The “Extreme” ones are full-suspension, big battery, high-performance; the “Sport” models are lighter with either hard tails or simpler suspension. Prices start at approximately $7,950 and go up to about $11,950 for the top-end versions. One important thing to note is that all of these are made to order, but you can place your order online or visit a participating McLaren dealership in person. If you want a collectible-style eMTB with McLaren design DNA, this is something that will stand out.
Highlights:
- Extreme models with high-powered mid-drive systems.
- Multi-mode pedal assist, top speeds Class 3 legal (28 mph).
- Range varies by model; built for performance off-road.
Mercedes
City Edition 750, Track Edition 750, and Rallye Edition 750
Mercedes is using its AMG / Petronas F1 Team branding + n+ Bikes (a partner) to offer several e-bikes. There are at least three e-bike models: the City Edition 750, Track Edition 750, and Rallye Edition 750. Prices run from about $4,000 up to $7,500 depending on edition. The Track Edition 750 (matte black performance style) is in the middle of that range; the Rallye Edition is more premium. These use performance parts, styling cues from Mercedes-AMG / F1, and appeal to urban users or fans of design-heavy bikes. In terms of U.S. availability, these are sold via n+ Bikes, which ships to, and within the U.S., though inventory can be limited, and shipping or import might add cost.
Highlights:
- 750-watt hub motors across City, Track, and Rallye editions.
- Pedal assist up to 28 mph (Class 3 U.S. legal).
- Range ~60 miles, battery ~720 watt-hours depending on model.
Hummer
All-Wheel-Drive E-Bike
GMC has teamed up with Recon Power Bikes to create the Hummer EV All-Wheel-Drive E-Bike, a two-wheeled spin on its supertruck. It packs twin 750-watt hub motors with a peak of 1,500 watts and three drive modes: rear-wheel “Cruise,” front-wheel “Traction,” and full-on AWD “Adrenaline.” Power comes from an LG 48V battery (17.5Ah standard, 21Ah optional), good for up to 40–50 miles of range according to their website, while top speed hits around 28 mph. If you’re looking to buy one for yourself, you can order directly via Recon or some GMC dealers, with prices starting at about $3,999, although this is still introductory.
Highlights:
- Twin 750-watt hub motors = AWD (1,500 watts peak output).
- 3 drive modes: Cruise (RWD), Traction (FWD), Adrenaline (AWD).
- Up to 50 miles of range with an upgraded LG battery.
BMW
3T Urban Electric
BMW has partnered with Italian brand 3T to build a premium line of bikes, including the BMW 3T Urban Electric. This sleek e-bike blends commuter practicality with gravel-ready design and is powered by the lightweight Mahle X20 system with a 350-watt-hour battery, offering smooth pedal assist for city rides or weekend adventures. Alongside it, 3T also produces BMW-branded gravel and road e-bikes, rounding out a six-bike lineup. Availability in the U.S. is a little spotty online, and one could locate a 3T dealership, though supply is also limited.
Highlights:
- Mahle X20 motor (lightweight, ~250 watt nominal).
- 350-watt-hour battery with smooth pedal assist.
- Designed for urban + gravel versatility, not raw off-road torque.
Skoda
eCity bike
Skoda (Czech automaker, part of the VW Group) has a “bicycle/cycling collection” including e-bikes in some European markets. Their Skoda eCity bike is one such model, plus e-MTB versions in their bicycle collection. For now, though, Skoda does not have a U.S. e-bike lineup. It’s more a part of their lifestyle/accessories/ “cycling gear” for markets in Europe. So availability in the U.S. is limited or non-existent so far. If you live in the U.S. and want a Skoda eBike, you’d likely have to import or find specialty sellers.
Highlights:
- Primarily commuter-style e-city motors (~250 watt nominal).
- Built for European cities and light-gravel riding.
- Limited range/power compared to premium MTB e-bikes.
Toyota
DOUZE Cycles x La mobilité Toyota cargo e-bike
Toyota has done something a little different: a cargo e-bike collaboration with Douze Cycles (a French e-bike maker). The bike is low slung, front-loading cargo style (you can haul stuff, maybe kids or groceries), with a mid-drive motor, and is built for utility rather than speed. As of 2025, this model is more present in France and Europe, with about 300 Toyota dealerships participating in that country. Again, like the Skoda before this, availability in the U.S. is virtually non-existent, so if you’d like to ferry your kid around in something like this, you might have to get one imported.
Highlights:
- Mid-drive motor optimized for heavy cargo hauling.
- Front-loading cargo design balances weight while pedaling.
- Range depends on load/terrain, built for utility, not speed.
