We believe that active transportation is the way of the future and that electric bikes have the power to transform how we move through our daily lives.
Electric bikes are more than just a trend for us, they are a way to build healthier and more connected communities. By getting people out of their cars and onto bikes, we can create safer streets and bring people together. Sam Balto, a teacher and bike advocate, summed it up best when he said, “active transportation rules. It’s the best!”
In anticipation of Black Friday, we have carefully curated a selection of the best deals on a variety of electric bikes. These deals have been selected based on real discounts, not just the ones that retailers claim to offer.
