Dreaming of a motorcycle but stuck in reality? You might find your answer in the increasingly popular e-bike market. One standout example is the Lil’Buddy Edge from Ruff Cycles, a German e-bike maker. This isn’t your average e-bike – it’s a blend of motorcycle vibes and urban flair.

The entry-level price is bound to attract more customers

Priced at an accessible 1,999 euros (about $2,176 USD), the Lil’Buddy Edge is a dive into more wallet-friendly waters for Ruff Cycles. The company’s Managing Director, Petar “Pero” Desnica, emphasizes their aim to reach more people with this entry-level price. It’s a smart move in a world where e-bikes are gaining traction for their convenience and eco-friendliness.

So, what’s the catch with this lower price? Ruff Cycles chose practicality over pomp. Instead of a high-end mid-drive motor, the Lil’Buddy Edge sports a simpler rear hub motor from Bafang. Don’t expect any fancy suspension either. The comfort comes from its chunky tires and a cushy seat, designed to smooth out your ride on bumpy paths.

Desnica’s vision is clear: an affordable e-bike without compromising quality, opening doors for more people to enjoy the e-bike lifestyle. While specific performance details are under wraps, expectations lean towards a standard 250-watt power output and pedal assistance up to around 15 mph, fitting for its European market.

The Lil’Buddy Edge is more than just an e-bike; it’s a statement. Its graffiti-inspired design and vibrant colors shout street style. It’s an invitation to those who yearn for the thrill of a motorcycle but need something more practical and accessible. Ruff Cycles isn’t just selling a mode of transportation; they’re offering an experience – a chance to be part of the urban e-bike scene without breaking the bank.
