The startup direct-to-consumer bike company’s first model, which, though not well known as some other companies’ bikes, were less expensive, quickly became popular with cyclists worldwide.
A. well known as some other companies’ bikes, were less expensive, quickly became
Errors-
1) SV error - subject is FIRST MODEL and is being modified by pronoun which. So what follows 'which' should be in agreement with singular subject. If you cut the unnecessary portion 'though not well .... bikes", the verb is were, which is incorrect.
2) usage of AS- AS is used to compare clause and is wrongly used here to talk of 'some other company's bikes.
B. that well known as some other companies’ bikes, were less expensive, and they quickly became
Apart from the error of A, a new error is introduced by usage of THEY and THAT
C. as well known as some other companies’ bikes, was less expensive, quickly became
correct..
1) AS .... AS is used and thus the usage of single as is corrected
2) WAS is correctly used
D. well known as some other company’s bike, was less expensive and quickly became
Errors of ' usage of AS' and a new error is introduced - when you cut non-essential part starting with 'which', the subject requires a VERB, which here is replaced with coordinating conjunction AND
E. well known, as were some other companies’ bikes, was less expensive, quickly becoming
errors are not corrected and other errors introduced

I still can't get why E is wrong. As is correctly followed by a clause.
Secondly, becoming famous is typical verb+ing modifier presenting result of the previous clause. Additionally, becoming famous is makes sense with the subject of the previous clause.
For C--->
Was less exprensive, quickly became famous. - - - - > for me, it seems like something is missing between them. They look like cause and effect.
Please fill the gap in my understanding.
Thank you = Kudos
