Are you ready to experience the many benefits electric bikes offer? ERIK’S Bike Shop has everything you need to get started.

Experience the Power of Electric Bikes

An electric bike (aka eBike or e-bike) is a bicycle that can be powered by either manual pedaling or an integrated electric motor that propels the vehicle. Periodic charging is required to maintain battery power.

You’ll enjoy several benefits when you choose an electric bike. First and foremost, it allows you to get where you’re going with greater ease by helping you:

  • Go farther with less effort
  • Manage uphill stretches
  • Enjoy easier commuting and recreational riding
  • Add low-impact exercise to your routine

Electric bikes can be an inclusive option for riders with certain disabilities. Low step-through models are easy to mount and dismount, and the pedal assist and throttle help those with mobility issues. 

You can even add more features like footrests and backrests, cargo racks and packs, and hand cranks. You’ll also minimize environmental impact with zero-emission transportation that’s over 20 times more efficient than an electric car.

Find the Perfect Electric Bike

Electric bikes are not a one-size-fits-all proposition. There are several categories to explore, including:

  • eRecreational
  • eMTB
  • eRoad
  • eGravel
  • eCommuter
  • eFolding
  • eTrike/eRecumbent
  • eStep Through

How can you choose the eBike that’s right for your physique, activities, and personal preferences? Here’s a look at your options.

eRecreational

Perhaps you love riding your eBike to the local farmer’s market on the weekend or touring the neighborhood on a nightly ride to relax after a long day. You might also enjoy hitting up paved trails in your area. eRecreational bikes offer a combination of features designed for speed, handling, and comfort so you can enjoy leisure rides.

eMTB

An electronic mountain bike, or eMTB, offers the augmented power you need to traverse tough terrain when you take your adventures off-road. Fat tires, fenders, and front suspension are par for the course, helping you manage bumpy trails and wet or muddy conditions. 

There is one feature on these electric bikes that draws people in more than the others, though, and that is their multiple levels of pedal assist. These frequently include eco and turbo levels and even a boost feature in some cases, all of which allow you to customize your ride and achieve the perfect balance of fitness and enjoyment.

eRoad

The need for speed is the driving factor behind the construction of eRoad bikes, which are intended for use primarily on paved roads and smooth bike paths. Pedal assist speeds are limited to 28 mph, but you can get up to speed electronically and then push it with manual propulsion. 

That propulsion is possible thanks to features on some eRoad bikes like lightweight carbon fiber frames, multiple gears, tubeless tires to reduce resistance, and endurance geometry. Additionally, some bikes’ disc brakes allow for safety, precision, and consistent performance.

eGravel

If you’re looking for crossover electric bikes designed for traversing both road and mountain terrain, eGravel bikes provide the versatility you prefer. These bikes are designed for endurance and aerodynamics, in some cases offering features such as: 

  • Aero positioning
  • Sturdy but lightweight frame
  • Wide tires
  • Disc brakes
  • Upgraded suspension 

These bikes’ batteries tend to offer a greater range for long rides as well.

eCommuter

Riding your bike to work can lower your carbon footprint and allow for daily fitness. Designed to travel longer distances in comfort, eCommuter bikes offer features like upright positioning, wider saddle and tires, and a smooth suspension. You can also add accessories like cargo racks, panniers, and lights for convenience and safety.

eFolding

Like any bicycle, eBikes take up some space when not in use. If you have minimal storage, you struggle to carry your bike up and down narrow stairs, or public transit is part of your route, an eFolding bike could provide the perfect solution. 

Materials like carbon fiber and aluminum make these lightweight bikes easy to carry, while a built-in folding mechanism facilitates compact storage and transport. With both road and mountain bike models, any rider can enjoy the convenience of an eFolding bike.

eTrike/eRecumbent

If you find aero or upright positioning uncomfortable, you still have options, such as eTrike and eRecumbent bikes that allow you to ride in a reclining stance. The lower stature of these electric bikes makes them easier to mount and more comfortable to sit on. 

They also have a seat with a fully supported base and back, often equipped with cooling mesh. Whether your destination is near or far, you’re sure to appreciate stable positioning and a smooth ride on either two- or three-wheeled models.

eStep Through

Unisex eStep Through bikes are suitable for many riders. These eBikes are available in road, mountain, commuter, and other styles. They are a convenient choice for shorter riders, those who wear skirts, and anyone who struggles to mount and dismount across a high-top tube. A lower center of gravity adds stability for safe and inclusive riding.

Key Features of Our Electric Bikes

Purchasing an electric bike is a personal experience, one that requires you to understand the features that will deliver your desired performance. How can you find the perfect eBike to take you where you want to go?

Motor Power

Motor power relates to the force of propulsion your motor can generate, measured in watts. In other words, it’s a measure of how fast you can accelerate and the power you have when climbing hills. If you’re moving through traffic or you frequently traverse hilly routes, this is an important performance feature.

Battery Range

Battery range is about the time and distance you can expect from your electric motor, and it relates to motor power. Although there are many variables that affect an eBike’s battery range, a battery typically offers less range for electric bikes with greater motor power because they need more battery power to run. Understanding how these features work together to balance desired power with your required range is crucial.

Pedal Assist vs. Throttle

Pedal assist and throttle are two modes of propelling your eBike. The throttle, located on the handlebars of some eBikes, lets the rider control acceleration through motor power alone. Pedal assist combines pedaling with motor power, making cycling less demanding without draining the battery. Some bikes have pedal assist only, while others also have throttle.

Frame Material

Common frame materials for electric bikes include sturdy steel, rigid aluminum, ultra-lightweight carbon fiber, and resilient titanium. Each has its benefits and potential drawbacks. Steel is heavy but durable and ideal for shock absorption, while aluminum is lighter, more affordable, and better suited for speed and maneuverability.

Carbon fiber offers outstanding performance at a higher price and is often preferred by athletes and distance riders. Titanium also features a higher material price tag but offers an impressive strength-to-weight ratio that equates to exceptional performance and longevity.

Suspension

As with cars, the front or rear suspension on an eBike allows the wheels to move up and down independently of the frame. This provides cushion on bumpy roads and trails, minimizes jarring impacts for the rider, and contributes to improved control and handling. Unsurprisingly, this feature is most common on mountain bikes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Electric Bikes

How Fast Do eBikes Go?

When using electric propulsion, the top assisted speed for electric bikes in the U.S. is 28 mph. Bikes that feature only pedal assist (no throttle) typically top out at 20 mph, although you may reach greater speeds with manual pedaling.

How Does an eBike Work?

An eBike features a motor that’s powered by a battery. You’ll need to remove the battery and place it on a charger to power up. When charged, the battery can propel your bike, or you can use manual pedaling if you run out of charge or feel like working up a sweat.

Are eBikes Street Legal?

The street legal status of eBikes may depend on location. Just like regular bikes, electric bikes must follow the rules of the road, flowing with traffic and obeying signals and right-of-way laws. Individual jurisdictions may impose their own rules for eBikes on city streets, recreational trails, and so on, so it’s best to check the laws in your area.

How Do I Choose an eBike?

There are several considerations when it comes to choosing the right eBike. You’ll want to factor in planned activities and locales (urban vs. trail riding, for example), sizing, features, preferred power and speed, and budget.

Are eBikes Considered Motorized Vehicles?

Unlike a motorcycle or a scooter, an electric bicycle falls into the same category as a traditional bicycle. As such, eBikes don’t require special licensing or registration.

What Are Some Popular Brands for Electric Bikes at ERIK’S Bike Shop?

We offer several brands of eBikes to ensure that every customer can find the ideal ride for their needs and preferences. Renowned brands like Aventon, Specialized, and Rocky Mountain are among our best-sellers.

How Much Do Electric Bikes Cost?

Electric bikes range from under $1,000 for simple, reliable, single-speed bikes to over $10,000 for ultra-lightweight, high-performance road bikes and turbo-powered mountain bikes. Regardless, owning and operating eBikes is significantly more cost-effective than other forms of motorized transportation.
