Update: Amazon has dropped the price on the jet black R500 model to $1,578.26 $1,426.10 shipped, with red R500 also falling to $1,903.27 shipped and the blue R500 remaining at $1,724.99 shipped.

Amazon is offering price cuts on the blue and jet black Hover-1 Altai Pro R500 e-bikes for $1,724.99 shipped. Normally going for $2,300 most days, we’ve seen wild fluctuations in price over the years, with 2024 seeing bigger and more frequent discounts, albeit mostly on the blue colorway. Speaking of the blue model, it has seen the greatest discounts so far, with the biggest of them taking costs down to the $820 low back in May. The jet black model, in comparison, has seen far fewer and less impactful price cuts, only going as low as $1,021 in March, and more regularly sitting at or above $1,900. While today’s deal is not the lowest we have seen, it still comes in here as a solid $575 markdown that gives you a reliable commuter solution at an affordable rate – especially with recent tariff expirations leading most e-bike brands to raise prices across the board.
Sporting a stylish motorbike design that is becoming more and more popular among e-bike enthusiasts, the Altai Pro R500 houses a 500W motor and a 48V/20Ah battery that hits a maximum speed of 28 MPH and can carry you up to 60 miles on a single charge. The battery has been given a removable functionality that makes things more convenient, with the battery’s capacity taking seven to eight hours to be completely recharge from empty. It comes stocked with 20-inch fat tires for smoother rides on uneven terrain, while also being outfitted with a headlight, taillight, and turn signals for added safety. Through the Hover-1 E-Mobility app you can even track your riding distance, navigate with GPS, and adjust the e-bike’s settings.
Amazon is also offering discounts on two of the Hover-1 Altai Pro R750 e-bikes, with the black model sitting lowest at $2,029 and the white model at $2,276 – both of them down from $3,000 price tags. Sporting a larger 750W motor, this successor to the R500’s title hits the same top speeds and travel distance, with an adjustable suspension – plus, it comes decked out with several extra accessories: dual side mirrors, a phone storage bag, side and rear racks, two saddle bags, a rear mudguard, a triangular storage bag, and a folding lock.
