Prime Big Deal Days opens at 12:01 a.m. PDT on Tuesday, Oct. 6, and Amazon’s own featured deals include no bikes or e-bikes. Prices below are from the night of Oct. 5, just before the sale opened.
Short version: no Amazon e-bike we checked had an event badge yet. Velotric was the only brand with clear was-and-now prices. We could verify no Walmart e-bike price.
Dates, cost and what Amazon says it is selling
Amazon’s announcement, published Sept. 15, says the 48-hour event covers more than 35 categories and is open to Prime members only. Prime costs $14.99 a month or $139 a year. Fresh “Today’s Big Deals” post three times a day: 12 a.m., 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. PDT.
NBC Select’s date guide, updated Oct. 1, puts the finish at 11:59 p.m. PT on Oct. 7, which is 2:59 a.m. ET on Oct. 8. The start is 3:01 a.m. ET on Oct. 6. Non-members can take a free 30-day Prime trial, according to NBC Select.
Amazon’s best-deals page for the event lists no bike. Its outdoor picks are leaf blowers, fire pits and patio heaters, marked as much as 30% off. Cycling Weekly’s early roundup of 32 cycling deals has no e-bike either. The nearest item is the Muc-Off Airmach electric pump at $70 on Amazon US, down from $99.
Amazon listings on Oct. 5
Heybike Mars 3.0 at $1,199
The Mars 3.0 listing showed $1,199.00, with 4.9 stars from 23 ratings. The page said only 10 were left and advertised a $50 instant offer tied to the Amazon Visa card. It had no Prime Big Deal Days badge and no limited-time-deal badge.
Read the seller line before you pay. On Oct. 5 it named Jasion Ebike as shipper and seller, not Heybike. Heybike’s own Mars 3.0 page showed the same $1,199.00 in all three colors (Vivid Orange, Stormy Blue and Nightrider Black), with no compare-at price.
The listing title calls it a foldable bike with a 624 Wh removable battery, 20 x 4 inch fat tires, a 1,400 W peak motor and a 32 mph top speed. It claims 70-plus miles of range and UL 2849 certification. A top-speed claim doesn’t tell you the class, so confirm which class it ships as.
Ride Guide’s event guide, updated Oct. 2, treats the Mars 3.0 as the only Amazon-sold bike on its list. It cites 65 miles of rated range and a 440 lb payload, says it has not tested the bike, and puts the price under $1,500. That is looser than the $1,199 we saw.
Heybike’s site menu also tags three bundles with savings: the Mars 3.0 combo at $200, the Ranger 3.0 Pro combo at $400 and the ALPHA combo at $100. We captured no bundle prices. Add up what is in the box before calling any of them a deal.
Low-priced mountain e-bike listings
Amazon’s “mountain ebike” search showed these non-sponsored prices. No result carried an event or limited-time-deal badge, so every figure is a pre-sale price.
| Listing | Price | Amazon list price | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Funhang, 1,000 W peak, 26-inch | $219.99 | $279.99 | 4.3 stars |
| Qlife Racer, 1,000 W peak, 375 Wh | $239.99 | $269.99 | 4.4 stars |
| ESKUTE M300F, 1,200 W, 20 x 4 tires | $429.99 | n/a | 4.7 stars |
| TST, 2,000 W peak | $559.99 | $599.99 | 4.2 stars |
The $30 to $60 gaps between list and current price were on the page before the event began. They aren’t event discounts. “Peak” watts are the seller’s claim, too: one listing in the same results pairs a 250 W motor with 1,000 W peak power.
Certification wording varies. The Funhang titles say UL 2849 certified. The Qlife, TST and ESKUTE M300F titles don’t mention it. Variants need a look as well: one results page showed the ESKUTE M200F title at $611.99, $639.98 and $679.00. Confirm which seller and variant each price belongs to.
Brand sites: Velotric, Lectric, Aventon and Ride1Up
Ride Guide’s event guide points riders to the brands’ own sites, since Lectric, Ride1Up, Aventon and Velotric sell mainly there. It gives no prices for them. Here is what their pages showed.
Velotric: the only was-and-now prices
Velotric’s sale page already carries a “Fall Prime Day Sale Is Live!” banner and says savings reach $550 on select models. The largest drop in its list is $500, on the Discover 2. The only $550 figure we found is the value Velotric puts on a free battery upgrade with the Nomad 2. The Nomad 2 shows no was-price.
| Bike | Price on Oct. 5 | Velotric’s earlier price | Drop |
|---|---|---|---|
| Discover 2 | $1,499 | $1,999 | $500 |
| Summit 1 | $1,599 | $1,999 | $400 |
| T1 ST Plus | $1,399 | $1,649 | $250 |
| Fold 1 | $1,299 | $1,499 | $200 |
| Summit 2 | $1,999 | $2,099 | $100 |
| Breeze 1 (from) | $1,699 | $1,799 | $100 |
| Fold 1 Plus | $1,449 | $1,499 | $50 |
The Nomad 2 sits at $1,999 with the battery upgrade. The GoMad starts at $1,999, and we saw no was-price on it either. Velotric lists a 14-day trial, free shipping and a two-year warranty. Its compare-at prices are its own, and we have no history showing how long they were charged.
Lectric: accessory bundles with stated values
Lectric’s homepage shows a “Better-than-Prime” tag on the XP4 750 Step-Thru bundle and lists five more bikes with free accessories. The dollar figure beside each bike is the value Lectric assigns to those extras. Lectric lists no was-price for these bikes. No end date appears on the page.
| Bike | Price | Free accessories valued at |
|---|---|---|
| XPedition2 | $1,999 | $694 |
| XP Trike2 750 | $1,699 | $555 |
| XPeak2 High-Step | $1,299 | $536 |
| XP4 750 Step-Thru (7 accessories) | $1,299 | $453 |
| XP Lite2 | $1,099 | $385 |
| XPress2 | $1,399 | $336 |
Aventon and Ride1Up: nothing to confirm
Aventon’s sale collection lists six bikes and no compare-at prices. They run from the Soltera 2.5 at $1,199 to the Aventure M at $2,899. The Abound SR is $1,899. The Abound LR, Aventure 3 and Aventure 3 Step-Through are $1,999 each. With no was-price, we can’t call any of them a discount.
Ride1Up’s sale page and product feed returned 404 errors, as did Lectric’s separate sale page. We have no Ride1Up price at all.
Walmart overlaps for most of the week
NBC Select says Walmart Deal Days runs Oct. 5 to 11 from 12 a.m. ET and needs no membership (Walmart+ gets early access). It reports discounts reaching 50% in many categories. A Yahoo Shopping report from Sept. 29 describes the same overlap with Amazon’s Oct. 6-7 event. Neither names an e-bike model or price, so we list no Walmart e-bike deal.
Who has the best e-bike deals right now?
On Oct. 5, the only deals we could verify were at Velotric. Its drops range from $50 on the Fold 1 Plus to $500 on the Discover 2. Lectric’s offers are accessory bundles. Amazon and Aventon showed no verifiable discount. All of that can change at 12:01 a.m. PDT.
When is the best time to buy, and what is the cheapest way in?
Our sources give no general best month. They do show that Prime Big Deal Days isn’t guaranteed to be the low point. Velotric’s earlier Prime Day sale ran June 17 to 28, 2026, and its page says it has ended. That page had the Fold 1 at $999. The October sale page has it at $1,299. The T1 ST Plus was $1,399 in June and is $1,399 now.
The lowest prices in our check were Amazon search listings: the Funhang at $219.99 and the Qlife Racer at $239.99. Their titles lead with peak-watt claims. The Qlife pack is 375 Wh, against 624 Wh on the $1,199 Heybike. Match the specs before you compare prices.
Which e-bikes should you stay away from?
None of our sources names a brand to avoid, so we won’t invent a list. Steer clear of any listing that leaves out the class, the rated motor power, the battery in watt-hours or the certification. Our e-bike battery types guide explains the battery terms you will meet. If you haven’t settled on a bike type, our bike buyer’s guide covers that choice first.
Before you click buy
- Badge: Look for an event or limited-time-deal badge on the listing. None of the Amazon pages we read had one on Oct. 5.
- Timing: Re-read the price after each Today’s Big Deals drop at 12 a.m., 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. PDT.
- Seller: Check the seller line, then compare it with the brand’s own page. The Mars 3.0 was $1,199 in both places on Oct. 5.
- Bundles: Add up what a combo includes before you compare it with the bike alone.
- Dates: Check the date on any roundup. Tom’s Guide’s e-bike deals page was last updated July 17, 2024, so its prices belong to that year’s event.
