E-bikes are booming. They make commuting faster, hills irrelevant, and long rides achievable for everyone. Whether you want a folding e-bike for the train or a fat-tire beast for trails, we have you covered.
Choosing the Right E-Bike
E-bikes come in three classes. Class 1 provides pedal assist up to 20 mph, Class 2 adds a throttle, and Class 3 assists up to 28 mph. For commuting, Class 3 is ideal. For trails and recreation, Class 1 or 2 often works better since some trails restrict Class 3 bikes.
Motor placement matters too. Hub motors (in the wheel) are simpler and cheaper. Mid-drive motors (at the pedals) feel more natural and handle hills better. Both have their place depending on your budget and riding style.
