I want to try out several different types of e-bikes and measure them etc. What bike shops in the LA basin area have the largest selections to look at? Thanks

The first bike I tried out was the Cafe from Vintage Electric Bikes over at Bike Attack Electric, 2904 Main Street. They’ve got a great selection and good place to ride.
Second place I went to was Velo Pasadena, 2562 E. Colorado. Best guy to talk to there about ebikes is Raul. I tried a Stromer ST1 and a Trek Super Commuter. They’re an authorized dealer for Stromer.
I purchased a Rip Current S from Juiced without ever trying it, but I had done a years research and knew I wanted a hub drive with torque and cadence sensors and just knew how it would ride without even trying it. They’re in San Diego so not too far anyways. Good luck with your search.

The guys at LA Fly rides have a solid selection...great choices of cargo, touring and especially e-mountain bikes from Cobe, Bulls, Pivot, Raleigh as well as the full line of Riese & Muller. They are great people who are fun, strait up and solid to do business with. https://laflyrides.com/. I had the pleasure of meeting and spending time with them while I was on my recent California tour.

I was only interested in R&M so it was LA Fly Rides in Hollywood or Propel in Long Beach. The people at LA Fly Rides are super.

There is a shop in El Segundo and Fullterton that's where I got my bike.

Had a chance to visit Chris at Propel down in Long Beach. If you want to see a lot of Riese Muller, they are a must visit. Did I say they have a lot of them? They have ALL of them on display in a snazzy new showroom. Chris is super swell too!

I am new in this field so don't know much about it. But Bike Attack seems to have many types of electric bikes. And in one video of Court I hear Propel opened a store in Los Angeles so they may have many ebikes too.
I personally prefer to go stores where they have a steep hill nearby so I can really test climbing skills of the electric bike
