Buzz Bicycles has a Sub-$1,000 Cargo E-Bike That Won't Sting Your Wallet

"Cargo e-bikes can easily creep into 4-digit price tags. In fact, most do. But not Buzz. The brand has been around since 2019, making folding and commuter-style e-bikes. And now they've added the Beekeeper to their lineup. The Beekeeper is a mini-mullet (24×20) cargo e-bike with a claimed 40-mile range between charges. And, best of all, it costs less than the 4-digits we're used to seeing."

"United Wheels Limited owns Buzz. If you're not familiar with United Wheels, they are the parent company of brands such as Huffy, Batch, and Niner. United Wheels launched Buzz as the dedicated e-bike corner of their bike portfolio. However, it was a bit more than that. Buzz also helps meet the needs of a changing transportation system. Especially in urban areas, more people are ditching their cars and going for electric commuters."

"However, it's not $800 right now. Despite the press material claiming a price tag of $800, if you've already looked at Huffy's or Walmart's website, you'll see a price tag of $999. It seems that the $200 savings are for different sales that Buzz has already run and will hopefully run again. Regardless, a sub-$1,000 is a pretty good deal for a cargo e-bike."

"Good question. The Buzz Beekeeper is a massive mixed-wheel (24" up front, 20" rear) cargo e-bike. It falls into the class 2 e-bike category, which means assistance kicks off at 20 MPH (likely a bit before). However, class 2 does have a throttle."

Buzz, a brand launched in 2019 by United Wheels Limited, builds folding and commuter-style e-bikes. The Beekeeper is a mini-mullet cargo e-bike with 24-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels. It is positioned as a class 2 e-bike, with pedal assistance beginning at 20 MPH and a throttle available. The bike is claimed to deliver about 40 miles between charges. The Beekeeper is marketed as costing $800, but current listings show a $999 price at Huffy.com and Walmart.com, suggesting prior or future sales. The sub-$1,000 price targets urban riders seeking an affordable alternative to car travel.
