Buyer's Guide to E-Bikes
A NEW WAY TO RIDE A BIKE
Electric bikes make riding more fun and accessible for everyone. You’ll get an extra boost of power while you pedal, which makes getting up hills and riding longer distances easier and more enjoyable than ever. Before you get started, it’s important to know where you’ll be riding your e-bike. Some bikes are made for pavement, some are made for trails, and some are made to handle both. Below you will find brief descriptions of the different types of e-bikes we carry.
FIND THE PERFECT E-BIKE:
WHY DO YOU WANT TO RIDE?
Step 2 / Start over
Mountain
An electric mountain bike is a powerful, all-terrain vehicle that can expand your riding range considerably, and help you get more riding done if you're pushed for time. Only got a couple of hours to spare? An electric mountain bike will let you speed up the climbs, so you can enjoy more of the downs. You'll leave no terrain untouched with a mountain e-bike!
Road
Ride further and faster on a pedal-assisted road bike. Keep up with faster friends or stay in the saddle longer. Don't let long climbs or high winds stop you from enjoying that warm spring ride. Don't let the light weight of these bikes turn you away--e-road bikes are powerful with long battery ranges.
City & Recreation
Tired of sitting in traffic every morning? Did you know that commuting to work by bike can be up to 50% faster! Get to work sweat-free or go further and faster on your weekend ride. With some reaching speeds up to 28 MPH you will arrive to work fast and energized or not slow down towards the end of your long weekend ride.
Cruisers
Are you a casual rider wanting to get more enjoyment out of riding? A cruiser e-bike will allow you to get out and see more on your ride having the confidence that the extra “oomph” is there when you need. Comfort and control paired with modern style and technology create the ultimate cruising experience whether you're near or far from the beach.

Before you hit the trails, make sure you know how to properly:
HOW TO LOCK YOUR ELECTRIC BIKE
Protect your investment by choosing a strong, secure lock such as a U-lock.
Store your bike inside when possible and avoid leaving it unattended or unlocked. It’s also wise to register your bike and keep track of the serial number.
Don’t forget to remove your battery and bring it inside with you after you lock up your bike. You can plug it in so it’s recharged and ready for the ride home.
HOW TO TRANSPORT YOUR ELECTRIC BIKE
Electric bikes typically weigh more than standard bikes so it’s critical that you have a strong and trustworthy rack to transport your bike safely. Check out the maximum weight limit when you’re considering your options to ensure the car rack you choose will suit your needs.
Platform racks are ideal for electric bikes because they have a lower height which makes it easy for you to secure your bike. Our friendly and helpful staff are happy to show you our top recommendations.

- Helmet: Safety first! Extra power means you’ll need a good helmet to protect yourself.
HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR ELECTRIC BIKE
To keep your bike in top condition there are a few things you should do before every ride:
- Make sure your tires are inflated and your wheels are tight
- Squeeze your brakes to make sure they’re working well
- Clean and lube your chain
We recommend that you bring your electric bike in for a tuneup at least once every year to ensure it’s safe and running smoothly. Our professional mechanics will assess your bike's needs and provide you with a free, no-obligation estimate.
