1. Best Mid-Drive Electric Bike for Under C$3,000 – ALPHA

When searching for an Ebike, you have two motor types: hub and mid-drive. Hub motors, installed on the rear wheel, provide torque directly to the wheel. Mid-drive motors, installed in the centre frame, deliver torque through the drivetrain then the wheel.

Since mid-drive motors are installed in the centre they ensure even weight distribution, which helps improve stability and handling. They’re also better at climbing hills than hub motors, as they produce more torque and translate power to the wheel more efficiently.

The Heybike ALPHA offers everything that you would expect from a quality mid-drive Ebike, and so much more. With a top speed of 28mph, the 500W mid-drive motor can produce up to 105N·m of torque, which makes it incredibly efficient at climbing steep hills and accelerating from zero. 

Plus, the large 26x4” fat tires effortlessly tackle rough surfaces, keeping you comfortable on varied terrain like dirt, sand, and snow.

Fast forward to today, and we now have the Mars 2.0. A significant upgrade from the Mars, it has a 1,000-watt hub motor with a top speed of 28 mph, and hydraulic disc brakes that apply the perfect amount of stopping force when you need.
