BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

4 reasons not to buy
- A tester says the narrow 38mm tires fail to absorb bumps on broken pavement.

Bottom line
The LeMond Dutch is a high-end electric city bike with a carbon frame. A ‘simple,’ integrated design earns compliments from reviewers but reduces user-friendliness and functionality. Slick 38mm tires and an impressively low 27lb weight make this bike easy to pedal without assistance and carry up stairs. The Shimano GRX 11-speed drivetrain and Deore brakes perform well in testing. Experts praise the comfortable, controlled ride and responsive assistance from the silent motor. While a carbon-fiber urban e-bike won’t appeal to everyone, experts agree the Dutch earns its premium price tag.
