Imagine a vehicle that is simple and fun like a bicycle, but doesn't make you sweat just looking at it. Imagine a vehicle that will get you across town quicker than a car, but uses less energy on a 150 mile ride than a 5 minute hot shower. Imagine a vehicle that is on a human scale: lightweight, agile, and convenient. You've been dreaming of an electric bicycle.

The electric bicycles that we stock are designed to complement your pedaling, not replace it. A good electric bicycle starts with a torque sensor that measures how hard you push on the pedals. You set a power level—from low assistance to high—and the bike gives you power in proportion to your pedaling, allowing you to ride farther, faster, and with greater ease and enjoyment. Torque-sensed pedal assist has been described by customers as "like magic," a "superman (or wonder woman) sensation," as well as "the best anti-depressant ever invented."

Doing more with less and living better for it. This sums up well the beauty of the ebike as well as being the best description of a good electric drive system. A motor that uses less power but gives lots of consistent torque for hill climbing is doing more with less, and that’s a good thing. Don’t be fooled by advertisements for 500 watt or 1000 watt motors.
A high-quality electric drive system will be more efficient, transforming less power (as little as 250 watts for a mid-drive) into “climb up a wall” torque. Don’t believe us? Come try one of our quality ebikes and you’ll know on your first test ride why less is more.

We believe in high-quality electric bicycles, and that is very different from high-end electric bicycles. High-quality bicycles are built with care, precision, and top-notch materials. High-end bicycles are built to be exclusive and expensive. High-quality bicycles are envisioned for daily use, and carry a strong warranty to prove their merit. High-end bicycles are meant to be talked about more than used. Yes, high-quality electric bicycles may seem high-end at first when only judged by a price tag in the context of cheaper alternatives. But consider your expectations of a reliable, capable electric bicycle backed by professional service, and choosing high-quality will begin to appear exceedingly prudent.
