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!

Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the MEELOD DK300. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
10 reasons to buy
- MEELOD offers the DK300 in three builds: the PLUS, the dual-battery PRO, and the dual-motor, dual-battery MAX.
- Experts are pleased by the stopping power from the hydraulic disc brakes.
- Reviewers say the DK300 feels stable, even at top speed.
- Testers enjoy the smooth, gradual power delivery from both throttle and pedal assist on the single-motor PLUS and PRO builds.
- Testers relish the dual-motor DK300 MAX's power for climbing steep hills and riding in sand.
- Reviewes appreciate the responsive power delivery following throttle or pedal assist activation.
- The DK300 comes with a headlight with high and low beams and a daytime running mode, a taillight with brake activation, and full fenders.
- The DK300’s 450lb payload capacity is above average.
- The display on the PRO and MAX has a USB-C charging port.
- The PRO and MAX come with a split-cable 4.5A charger for charging both batteries at once.
14 reasons not to buy
- The DK300 is extremely heavy in all builds.
- Most reviewers find pedaling uncomfortable due to the narrow, short, and firm seat.
- Experts report ghost pedaling at around 20mph.
- The slow acceleration and meager torque of the single-motor builds result in poor hill climbing performance.
- The brake light on the PRO and MAX doesn't activate unless the lights are turned off.
- Testers of the PRO and MAX have trouble interpreting the battery indicator.
- The DK300's range falls well short of MEELOD's rating. A 215lb tester of the PRO empties one battery and gets just 17 miles.
- Testers feel the PAS levels are set too fast, with some riding at speeds as high as 20mph in PAS 1.
- One tester's bike overheats on an off-road climb, causing the controller to limit power output and top speed.
- Both the bike and the battery switches must be turned off for the daytime running light not to remain on.
- Lighter reviewers find the rear suspension too stiff.
- Testers complain of rattling fenders and suspension and loud motors.
- A reviewer dislikes the automatic cruise control feature, and MEELOD doesn't offer a way to turn it off.
- An expert says the chain rubs on the rear fender when in the largest cog on the cassette.
Bottom line
MEELOD's DK300 is a motorcycle-style e-bike available in three builds: the PLUS with a 960Wh battery, the dual-battery PRO (1,440Wh), and the MAX with two motors and batteries (1,920Wh). A 255lb rider likes the suspension, but lighter riders find the rear too stiff. The dual-motor MAX's hill-climbing ability impresses, but the PLUS and PRO struggle on climbs. Battery range falls short of MEELOD's claims. Other complaints include the uncomfortable saddle, high weight, wide turning radius, and poorly programmed PAS speeds. Some reviewers also report electronic malfunctions. Overall, the MEELOD DK300 fails to stand out in a saturated moto-style e-bike segment.
