Overview
- Chip.de flags the Allegro City Plus as its city price‑performance pick with a Bosch motor, Shimano 7‑speed and Suntour fork, selling at MediaMarkt and Saturn for about €1,700.
- Retailers are emptying warehouses for winter, creating notable discounts that push well‑equipped models below the €2,000 mark.
- Stern cautions that inexpensive bikes are often mixed builds, pairing branded parts with cheaper batteries or weaker motors that may not meet long‑term needs.
- Shoppers are urged to match range, torque, gearing, brakes and suspension to their intended use to avoid a bargain that becomes a bad purchase.
- Prices range from roughly €900 for basic new models to €3,000 and higher for premium builds, and e‑bikes now account for about half of bicycle sales in Germany.
