€1,890
The Shift 1 from Shiftbikes bets on simplicity: a one-size step-through electric city bike, delivered fully equipped with hydraulic brakes, a removable 460 Wh battery and a frame lock, assembled in France for €1,890. Reviews appreciate the equipment-to-price ratio and range, but highlight its 23.5 kg and assistance that is slow to kick in from a standstill. A belt-driven Shift 2 with torque sensor (€2,290) has joined the catalogue.
