The Cyclist's Electric Bike Shops Since 1996

We sell and service Human Power Augmented a.k.a. Electric bikes and ride them enthusiastically ourselves. See also our folding bikes at Folding Bikes West.

Notes:
* Nominal power is not necessarily the power experienced by the rider (see article "What's Watt").
** Battery technologies (see also article "Batteries"): sla = sealed sead acid, NiMH = Nickel Metal-Hydrid and Li-Ion = Lithium-Ion (Manganese or Polymer).
*** Range (distance per fully charged fairly new battery) is unavoidably a direct function of power draw from the finite capacity battery. Range does vary dramatically with a number of factors, i.e. rider weight, pedalling effort, power application, terrain, road conditions, speed, stop-and-go, condition of the bike and even temperature. Under comparable, real life conditions our current NiMH and Li-ion batteried models achieve about twice the range of our earlier SLA models. See also Range.
