What a great ride this was 14 rider. 40 scenic miles along the San Francisco coast line with beautiful weather, no breakdowns and no one ran out of juice! Bikes on the ride included Haibike, Felt, Cube, BLIX, Grace, Optibike, ECO Kits and Leisger, plus a couple of kits. Pontus from BLIX bikes...

Our next meet-up is this Sunday and it's going to be fabulous El Nino Early Spring type ride along the Pacific Coast. The ride itself is sponsored by BLIX ebikes from Sweden and there will be a few BLIX bikes on the ride and to try. We start in San Gregorio and make our way down the coast...

Our next ebike DEMO event is set for Saturday January 16 from 10-5. This is an all HAIBIKE demo event with Haibike factory on hand with 2016 and 2015 demo bikes in their fleet to sample and purchase. http://www.motostrano.com/Haibike-DEMO-Event-s/8270.htm If you are in the market for an...

We are starting to get the 2016 Cube bikes now and they are impressive. (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) Look at that rear chain ring! So far we have a batch of demo bikes in our Redwood City store and the new CX Motor from BOSCH is here. Joe

We have a number of great e-bike meet-up rides scheduled for the next few months. Join us! Our next ride is this weekend in Glen Ellen. It's primarily an off-road ride with a 30-40 mile distance through the countryside of Sonoma county. http://www.meetup.com/San-Francisco-E-Bike-Meetup/...

It's always a GREAT time to buy an ebike in our opinion, but we're biased.... :-) But, truthfully the $2500 Yamaha bike you're looking at won't compare as good as the $3500 Haibike you're probably looking at in terms of bike specs. The Yamaha motor is pretty good but the BOSCH is still going to...

Are you "in the know" about our SF Bay Area EBIKE Meet-Up Rides? We're up to 200 members almost and we ride e-bikes in and around the San Francisco Bay Area. Our last ride was an enormous amount of fun through the hills of Marin out over the hills of the Marin Headlands. Our next ride is...

A lot is going on in the e-bike world. Led by brands like BOSCH, (Link Removed - No Longer Exists),(Link Removed - No Longer Exists),(Link Removed - No Longer Exists) and (Link Removed - No Longer Exists), if you haven't discovered the joy and fun of electric mountain biking, we highly recommend...

Good points all. The new Ralieghs have standard cassettes and no e-shifting and a lower price. / Joe

Ha. That would be fun! We have more stores planned first here in the Bay Area. Any of our BOSCH powered ebikes can do an honest 80 miles range with a full charge on ECO mode. I've tested them. I'm a fairly strong rider, but I'm not a racer by any stretch. In sport or tour mode, with some hills...

I forgot to post this earlier, so sorry for last minute notice. We're having another DEMO day this Saturday with the good folk from Currie and Accell. Show up at our Redwood City e-bike outlet and see not only over 60 ebikes on the floor, but take advantage of our on-site demo fleet for the...

I agree. Battery and ride range is a major issues and when you have bikes that get up to 90 miles and you can pay $3000 to $4000 for it, that's huge. Joe

Btw, the Misceo I tested for long range had range on par with the BOSCH systems. ie upwards of 90 miles on the flats. Joe

It's true. It takes a particularly open-minded change-friendly bike mechanic to enjoy the issues of an e-bike. We like our techs to be interested and ride motorcycles to be honest. Motorcycles are, in fact, bicycles with motors on them too. Our best ebike techs ride motorcycles for fun, as well...

One of my favorites is a $3449 high torque mid-drive model called the Sprint Ie that has the battery integrated into the frame much like a Turbo or a BH Easymotion, but with a mid-drive motor. 350W Currie mid-drive motor 48V but only 8.7 AH battery. No weight is listed. There's also a new...

Yes it is. Right now I'm looking for some consumer orders on it first and the we will bring the bikes over in small batches once there's solid demand. J

We have 5 more M1 bikes on order to arrive in the next 3-4 weeks. 3 of those are now pre-sold. We have the camo and one orange large frame available still. These bikes come in and out faster than they come in and they are sold without test rides, being not road legal. I haven't heard if M1 will...

I just got a preview of the new Raleigh e-bikes for 2016 and they look wonderful. One of my favorite ebikes for sure. Look for new STEPS bikes, as well as the Currie powered mid drive motors for 2016. Also- we are importing a number of the hop-up kits for the Shimano motors to pump the speed...

Court did a great job covering the M1 line here at our store recently:

Hi Ingrid. I'd highly recommend looking at the YUBA El Mundo: hhttp://www.ebikelane.com/products/yuba-elmundo-bionx-electric-cargo-bike it's a great cargo bike, easy to ride and powerful for SF hills with room for your child as well. My son is 7 and he has enjoyed riding on the back of a El...
