Electric Bike Guide | Transform Your Cycling Experience With an E-Bike

YOUR JOURNEY STARTS HERE

Electric bikes, or e-bikes, are revolutionizing the way we commute, exercise, and explore the world around us. Combining the convenience of traditional bicycles with the power of electric motors, e-bikes offer a versatile and eco-friendly mode of transportation suitable for riders of all ages and fitness levels. Whether you’re looking to reduce your carbon footprint, tackle challenging terrains with ease, or simply enjoy a more efficient way to get around town, e-bikes have something to offer. Our e-bike guide will walk you through everything you need to know about electric bikes, from how to stay safe to choosing the perfect model for your needs and maximizing your riding experience.

How Do You Want To Ride?

Electric bikes come in many styles to handle any ride. We can help you decide which bike is right for you!

Electric Hybrid

Get the best of every type of cycling with a hybrid e-bike. Weekend warriors and commuters alike are well suited to hybrid electric bikes - you can pivot from fun rides to zooming past traffic in a pinch. 

Tackle More Trails

Go beyond your usual stopping point with an electric mountain bike. Climb hills that were once insurmountable, enjoy longer rides, the possibilities are endless. Available in hardtail and full suspension.

Explore New Roads

Electric road bikes are the best way to cover more distance and keep up with your faster friends when you’re cruising the streets. The boost of additional power means more mileage and more fun.

E-Bikes By Class

Electric bikes come in all shapes, sizes, and distinctive classes that differentiate the levels of pedal-assistance, throttle and speed. These classes can determine what you can ride and where. Riding an electric bike expands your possibilities on two-wheels and figuring out which class of e-bike you need is a key decision point. Classes 1 and 3 are pedal-assist only, meaning you do have to pedal. Class 2 can be powered solely by throttle, as well as pedal. All are, of course, really fun to ride! Learn more about the three classes to help you choose the best electric bike for you!

Class 1

Class 1 bikes are great for almost every rider, as the most affordable option and the most universally accepted from a regulatory standpoint. Class 1 models are pedal-assist electric bikes that go up to 20 mph (or faster speeds with the addition of human power). The motor kicks in only when you pedal and stops helping at 20 mph. These models are great for bike paths, many public trails, and street riding.


Class 2

Class 2 models are very similar to Class 1, with one important distinction. Class 2 electric bikes have a throttle-assisted feature, so riders can go up to 20 mph without pedaling, similar to a motorized scooter or motorcycle. With changing laws and the potential for restrictions, we do not carry Class 2 electric bikes at this time.

Class 3

Class 3 electric bikes are the fastest option that fits within common regulatory frameworks. They are pedal-assist bikes that go up to 28 mph (or faster speeds with the addition of human power). While these electric bikes do not require a driver’s license or license plate, they are fast! They’re the perfect vehicle for commuting or taking care of errands around town. We recommend sticking to paved roads on Class 3s.



Any electric mobility product not clearly labeled with one of these classes, or that allows for speeds greater than 28 mph are not classified as bicycles. We highly recommend that you purchase your next electric bike from a qualified and reputable bike shop like ours to help you be safe and legal.

Storage & Transportation

You can depend on the power of an electric bike to carry more gear. If you dread hauling gear, kit out your e-bike with anything from a handlebar basket to a child seat, and enjoy the ride instead.
