Mercedes E-Bike: Every Mercedes-AMG F1 Model, Price and Spec (2026)

The idea of a "Mercedes e-bike" is nothing new. People have created design concepts for years. But now there really is an official Mercedes electric bike that is available for sale to the public.

In fact there are three: the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team e-bikes. They're electric bikes in the livery of the Formula 1 team, with a dashboard that looks like it was lifted out of a race car and a smart helmet that flashes your indicators for you.

Here's everything worth knowing about them: who really makes them, what each model costs, which ones are legal on UK roads, and whether you're paying for a bike or for a badge. Prices and specs are from the brand's own pages, checked on 10 November 2026.

The quick answers

• Who makes the Mercedes e-bike? Not Mercedes. They're designed and sold by n+ (n+ Bikes), under licence from the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team.
• How many models? Three e-bikes: the City Edition, the Track Edition and the Rallye Edition. There's also a V17 Limited Edition run of all three.
• How much? $4,000, $5,500 and $7,500 in the US. The UK-legal versions have been listed at £3,999, £4,999 and £6,999.
• How fast? The US versions assist up to 28mph and have a throttle. The UK and EU versions stop assisting at 15.5mph (25km/h), as the law requires.
• Range? Up to 70 miles (US) or 100km (EU) with both batteries fitted, according to n+.
• Weight? Roughly 26kg to 31kg depending on the model. Not light.

Does Mercedes actually make an e-bike?

No, and it's worth being clear about this before you spend £4,000. Every n+ product page carries the same line: manufactured under licence from the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team. Mercedes-Benz doesn't design, build or sell these bikes. n+ does, and pays to use the name, the livery and the AMG styling.

That's not unusual. Car brands have been licensing their badges to bicycle makers for decades, and n+ has made a business of it. The company started with an F1-branded road bike in 2020, then a range of Mercedes-EQ Formula E Team e-bikes in 2022 (the Silver Arrows and the Championship Edition, among others). The current Track and Rallye Editions arrived in 2024, the City Edition followed in 2025 and the V17 Limited Edition landed in 2026.

n+ also makes the Mustang and Bronco e-bikes for Ford, on a very similar recipe. I've covered those separately in my guide to the Ford e-bike.

Two other things you might come across when you search:

• The EMotorad bikes in India. In September 2026, Indian e-bike maker EMotorad signed a deal with Mercedes-Benz India to assemble and sell a Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS e-bike range through Mercedes dealerships there.
• Older Mercedes and smart e-bikes. Mercedes-Benz has put its name on bikes before, including an e-bike under its smart brand. They're long gone. If a listing looks old, it probably is.

The Mercedes e-bike range at a glance

	City Edition	Track Edition	Rallye Edition
US price	$4,000	$5,500	$7,500
UK price (250W)	£3,999	£4,999	£6,999
Gears	Shimano Cues 9-speed	Shimano Cues 9-speed	Pinion C1.9 gearbox, Gates belt
Brakes	Tektro 2-piston hydraulic	Tektro 4-piston hydraulic	Tektro 4-piston hydraulic
Fork	Rigid	Rigid	80mm suspension
Tyres	27.5 x 2.25in	Pirelli Angel Urban GT 27.5 x 2.25in	Pirelli Scorpion 27.5 x 2.6in
Second battery	Optional	Included	Included
Weight	About 26kg	About 29kg	About 31kg

All three share a 6061 aluminium frame, the one-piece handlebar with its 5.5-inch colour display, integrated lights that talk to the smart helmet, and four assist modes: Comfort, Sport, Sport Plus and Race. The US bikes run a 48V system (a 480Wh battery in the down tube plus an optional 240Wh one in the seat tube, 720Wh in total). European bikes run 36V batteries.

One thing n+ doesn't tell you is who makes the motor. It's a rear hub motor with a torque sensor, but the brand, the torque figure and the peak power aren't published anywhere. Electric Bike Report asked and didn't get an answer either.

Mercedes-AMG F1 City Edition: the way in

The City Edition is the cheapest of the three and the one most people searching for a Mercedes e-bike will end up looking at. It's finished in AMG silver rather than the race car's black and teal, and it's the most sensible of the range: rigid fork, a Shimano Cues nine-speed chain drive, two-piston Tektro hydraulic brakes on big 203mm rotors and 27.5-inch tyres that roll well on city tarmac.

It comes with the down-tube battery only. You can add the seat-tube battery later for more range, which is a nice touch on a bike you might keep for years. At around 26kg it's the lightest of the three, though "light" is relative here. It's still heavier than most city e-bikes at this price.

This is the one for someone who wants the cockpit, the lights and the helmet trick for city riding, and doesn't need suspension or a gearbox.

Mercedes-AMG F1 Track Edition: the City with the options ticked

The Track Edition is the one that looks most like the car. Black frame, PETRONAS teal accents, and the same big-screen cockpit. Mechanically it's a step up from the City: four-piston Tektro brakes, Pirelli Angel Urban GT tyres and the second battery fitted as standard, which is how n+ gets to its claimed 70 miles of range.

It still uses a chain and derailleur and still has a rigid fork, so it's a road bike for the city rather than anything you'd take down a towpath with confidence. At around 29kg, the second battery shows up on the scales.

If you'd add the extra battery to a City Edition anyway, the Track is the better buy for $1,500 more.

Mercedes-AMG F1 Rallye Edition: the one with real engineering

This is the halo model, and to my eye the only one where most of the extra money goes on hardware rather than paint.

The Rallye swaps the chain and derailleur for a Pinion C1.9 nine-speed gearbox, made in Germany, with electronic Smart Shift, driving a Gates carbon belt. That combination is about as low-maintenance as bikes get: no chain to oil, nothing hanging off the back wheel to knock out of line, and gear changes in a fraction of a second, even standing still at the lights. If that appeals, I've rounded up more belt-drive e-bikes for the city here.

It also gets an 80mm suspension fork, chunky 2.6-inch Pirelli Scorpion tyres and both batteries as standard. n+ calls it an SUV, which is fair: it'll handle gravel paths and broken roads happily, but it isn't a mountain bike.

The catch is weight and price. Electric Bike Report weighed theirs at 66.8lb, a little over 30kg, and it's $7,500 in the US or £6,999 for the UK version. Range in their test was 47 miles in the gentlest mode and 34 miles in Race.

The V17 Limited Edition

The newest version is the V17, named after the team's 2026 car, the W17. It's available as a City, Track or Rallye, wears the 2026 livery, and is signed by the team's two drivers, Kimi Antonelli and George Russell. Each bike is individually numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity, and n+ says only 500 will be made.

Two things worth knowing:

• In the US, V17 bikes currently cost the same as the standard ones. The live V17 pages list $4,000, $5,500 and $7,500. If you're buying anyway, there's no reason not to take the numbered version.
• "500" is a little unclear. n+'s own pages say 500 worldwide. At least one fashion site has reported 500 of each version. Ask before you buy if the number matters to you.

n+ also claims a "+20% performance upgrade" for the V17, without saying 20% more of what. I'd treat that as marketing until someone measures it.

The dashboard and the smart helmet

The cockpit is the party piece. The handlebar and stem are one moulded piece with a 5.5-inch full-colour screen in the middle, showing speed, assist mode, battery and the rest in a style n+ describes as race car telemetry. Nothing else on a bike looks quite like it. The downside, which reviewers have pointed out, is that a one-piece bar can't be adjusted or swapped for a different shape, and if it gets damaged you're relying on n+ for the part.

The Mercedes-AMG F1 Team Smart eBike Helmet. Image: n+ Bikes.

The helmet is the other clever bit. It pairs with the bike over Bluetooth, so pulling the brake lights up the back of your head and pressing the indicator switch with your thumb flashes indicators on the helmet. It has a light-sensing headlight, a MIPS liner, a snap-on tinted visor, and crash detection that sends a text to the contacts you've chosen if it thinks you've come off. It's certified to EN 1078, the European bike helmet standard.

On its own it's $400. At the time of writing the US site is offering it free with a bike "for a short time", with no end date given, so check the basket before you pay. If you like the idea but not the badge, I've rounded up seven other smart helmets with Bluetooth.

n+'s own film of the range:

And for balance, BikeRide's review of the Rallye Edition, which asks the obvious question in its title:

Can you ride a Mercedes e-bike in the UK?

Yes, but only the right version. This is the most important thing in this article if you live in Britain.

A UK electric bike (an "electrically assisted pedal cycle", in the law's words) can have a motor of up to 250W, must stop assisting at 15.5mph, and can only have a throttle that works up to 4mph. Meet those rules and it's treated like a normal bicycle: no licence, no insurance, no registration. I've set out the details in which e-bikes are legal in the UK.

The US bikes are 750W, assist to 28mph and have a throttle that works at speed. In the UK that makes them a motor vehicle, which means registration, insurance, a licence and a motorbike helmet, and in practice they're private-land only. Don't import one.

n+ sells "250" versions for the UK and Europe through its European store, with assistance limited to 25km/h and prices in pounds and euros. Those are the ones to buy. The rules across the Channel are similar, and I've covered them in which e-bikes are legal in Europe. If you're in the States, the 750W bikes are Class 3. California's rules are typical and are in which e-bikes are legal in California.

A practical note: the links in this article go to n+'s US store. UK readers should switch to the UK version on n+'s site before ordering.

Is a Mercedes e-bike worth the money?

The natural habitat: a Mercedes showroom. Image: n+ Bikes.

Honestly? It depends on why you want one.

If you love the team, already have the car on the drive, or want a bike that matches it, nothing else does what these do. The cockpit and the helmet integration are properly unusual, and the Rallye's gearbox and belt are the real thing. In the US you can even buy one through participating Mercedes dealers.

If you just want the best e-bike £4,000 to £7,000 can buy, the badge is costing you. The case against:

• A mystery motor. At this price, Bosch, Shimano and Brose tell you exactly what you're getting. n+ doesn't.
• Batteries you can't remove. Electric Bike Report found neither battery on the Rallye comes out, so you charge it where you park it. That matters if you live in a flat.
• Bespoke parts. The one-piece bar, the stem and the integrated light are n+ parts. A local bike shop can't just swap them.
• Weight. 26kg to 31kg is a lot for a bike without a cargo box. Stairs will be a problem.
• Lead times. Electric Bike Report was told production takes around 90 days, though the V17 pages currently say "ships now". Ask for a delivery date in writing.

Cycling journalists have been sceptical of car-brand bikes for years. CyclingTips once called the genre "dead-eyed marketing exercises", and it had n+ in mind. The current range is a fair bit better than that. But the same money buys a bike from a specialist like Riese & Müller, Stromer or one of the brands in my guide to German bicycle brands, with a known motor, removable batteries and a dealer network built around bikes rather than cars.

My take: if it's the badge you want, buy the Rallye. It's the one where the engineering lives up to the name. If you're buying the City Edition for the look alone, go in knowing that's what you're paying for.

Mercedes e-bike FAQs

Who makes the Mercedes e-bike?

n+ (n+ Bikes) makes and sells the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team e-bikes under licence. Mercedes-Benz doesn't build them. n+ also makes licensed e-bikes for Ford.

How much does a Mercedes e-bike cost?

In the US: $4,000 for the City Edition, $5,500 for the Track Edition and $7,500 for the Rallye Edition. The UK-legal 250W versions have been listed at £3,999, £4,999 and £6,999. The smart helmet is $400 on its own.

How fast does the Mercedes e-bike go?

The US 750W versions assist up to 28mph (Class 3) and have a throttle. The UK and EU versions stop assisting at 15.5mph (25km/h). You can go faster under your own steam on any of them, as with any bike.

What is the range?

n+ claims up to 70 miles (US) or 100km (EU) with both batteries. Electric Bike Report got 47 miles from a Rallye in the gentlest mode and 34 miles in Race mode. For comparison, the bikes in my guide to the longest-range e-bikes go a lot further.

How much does it weigh?

About 26kg for the City Edition, 29kg for the Track Edition and 31kg for the Rallye Edition, by the brand's and dealers' figures.

Is the Mercedes e-bike legal in the UK?

The 250W UK version is. The US 750W version isn't road-legal as an e-bike in the UK and would need to be registered and insured as a motor vehicle.

Does the Mercedes e-bike come with a helmet?

Not normally, but n+'s US site is currently offering the $400 smart helmet free with a bike for a limited time. Check the offer applies before you pay.

What is the V17 Limited Edition?

A run of 500 individually numbered City, Track and Rallye bikes in the 2026 livery, signed by Kimi Antonelli and George Russell, with a certificate of authenticity.

Is there a Mercedes e-bike without the F1 livery?

Not at the moment. The City Edition in AMG silver is the most understated of the three. n+'s Urban Edition looks similar, but it's a carbon road bike with no motor.

Would a Mercedes e-bike make a good gift?

For an F1 fan with a big budget, it's hard to beat. For everyone else, my gifts for cyclists guide is a gentler starting point.
