"If anyone ever asks, 'Will this help me ride more?' The answer is yes. I've ridden more in the last three days than I have in the last six months."

WHAT WE OFFER
We service, sell, and rent electric bikes. Our sale and rental bikes are made by Trek, Electra and Tern, and we service all types of e-bikes. Our shop is certified to service Bosch, Fazua, Hyena, Shimano and TQ e-bike systems! We have experience servicing a wide variety of other systems. Bosch makes the only UL Certified electric components in the cycling industry; making them the most safe, innovative, and user friendly electric bikes.
Our certification allows us to run diagnostics on all Bosch, Fazua, Hyena, Shimano and TQ bikes, and offer software updates to ensure your bike is riding with optimum efficiency. E-bike owners should bring their bike to the shop (at minimum) every six months for software updates. Additionally, we stock accessories that will increase the durability of your system.
If you are interested in learning more about e-bikes, or just happen to stop by, our staff members are happy to give you the ins and outs of Trek's electric bikes. We encourage you to take a test ride and experience the joy of electric assist for yourself! See electric bike rental rates.
HOW THEY WORK
Trek's electric bikes utilize a torque-based system. This means the motor ASSISTS when the rider pedals, whereas an electric bike with a throttle has the ability to accelerate with the touch of a button. Trek's bikes feature a mid-drive motor system, meaning the motor is located at the crankset in the bottom center of the frame. Mid-drive motors (torque-based), as opposed to hub-drive (commonly throttle-based), feel as balanced and natural as a regular bike. The bikes have either three or four levels of assist, with ergonomic controls mounted on the handlebar. When you switch to a higher level of assist, the motor outputs a higher percentage of the effort you're exerting on the pedals. If you want to ride unassisted, you simply switch to "off" mode and ride just like a non-motorized bike.
WHY WE LIKE THEM
Electric bikes are for everyone! They expand the possibilities of bike travel, and are a pure joy to ride. "Electric bicycles offer unique solutions to the challenges of riding. These rides are all about possibility. Only e-bikes offer the flexibility to get in a workout, ride with a faster friend, haul a heavy load, or simply cruise. Even if your ride varies from day to day, an electric bicycle always gives you the option to do and experience more." —trekbikes.com
