What’s the point of an electric bike?
Electric bikes add power to your pedal power enabling you to do more with a bicycle and have more fun! For many people eBikes help them:
Ride faster when compared to a conventional bike. You may be surprised how quickly you can get around even compared to a car. With an eBike you can avoid traffic using bike routes, maintain a higher average speed than a conventional bike, and then park (for free) extremely close to where you are going.
Enjoy riding uphill and into headwinds because the electric assist helps you along.
Don’t sweat it; ride with higher assist to get to work quickly and with no sweat. Then ride home with less assist to get a workout if you want.
Safety. Safely get through intersections by being able to accelerate quickly from a stop.
Save the joints. eBikes can make bike riding fun again by making putting less pressure on knees, hips, and other joints.
Enjoy the ride together. You may have a riding partner that rides at a different speed than you. An eBike can even out the pace for both of you.
Leave the car at home. The convenience, the ease and the speed of an electric bike make it an alternative to an automobile more often than a regular bike. A study by Portland State University shows that eBike owners ride more frequently and farther than when they relied on their traditional bike.
Have more fun! Riding a bicycle is already fun and when you add electric assist it becomes even more fun. Notice how many people come back from an eBike test ride with a huge smile on their face!

Frequently Asked
How fast can they go?
Most electric bikes in the U.S. will provide you with assist up to 20 mph, putting them in California Class 2 category. California class 3 bikes will provide power up to 28 mph, but only while your pedaling.
How will you announce the winners?
We will email and call the winners, plus we will announce on our social media channels. Please be sure to follow along!
What are my chances of winning?
It depends on how many people enter each month. But becasuse this is a local event with a small pool of people, your chances are really high at winning a new E-bike! Up your chances by buying a few tickets!
Will I be able to pick my color if I win?
Yes! But it will be based on our available inventory at time of drawing!
Can I upgrade to a different bike?
Yes! But iyou will need to pay the difference in price.
Why can’t they go faster?
They certainly can, but the intent of an electric bicycle is to be very similar to a conventional bicycle and that includes the speed that it can travel. If eBikes provided higher power assisted speeds then they would be regulated like a scooter/motorcycle which requires registration, licensure, insurance, etc. In addition, this would limit where eBikes can be ridden.
Bicycles and electric bicycles are great vehicles because they do not require registration, licensure, insurance, and there are so many places they can be ridden.
How far can they go?
Most electric bikes have a range of 20-40 miles and that depends on the riding conditions (hills, headwinds, etc.), how much pedal power you are providing, and how much weight you are moving (yourself + cargo). You can get eBikes with more range (up to 100 miles) but they are generally more expensive and weigh more because of the larger battery pack. Quick tip: charging your battery at work will help to increase your daily range.
How much power do they have?
Generally electric bikes in the U.S. will range from 250 watts to 750 watts. 750 watts is the maximum power to still be a considered a Class 2 bicycle and that equates to 1 horsepower.
How long does it take to charge the battery?
Most electric bike batteries will fully charge from empty in 3 to 6 hours depending on the battery size.
How much does it cost to charge the battery?
In general it will cost $0.03 to $0.10 to charge an electric bike battery pack. This will depend on what your local electricity supplier charges. With this in mind, most employers will not mind if you charge your battery at work.
Can I charge the battery by pedaling?
Some electric bikes have this feature but this requires a substantial amount of your pedal power, so be ready for one heck of a workout! Some of these same eBikes have regenerative braking that will charge the battery as you are braking, similar to the way electric cars do, but this technology is expensive and not effective for the average rider.
