We’ve helped over 450,000 customers experience the best electric bikes, and we’re excited to help you discover the perfect ebike for your needs when you Buy Bikes from us.
An electric bike, often called an ebike or e-bike, is essentially a traditional bicycle enhanced with a battery-powered motor. This motor provides assistance to riders, making it easier to conquer hills, increase speed, carry cargo, and travel longer distances without excessive fatigue. This assistance comes in the form of pedal assist, which supplements your pedaling power, or a throttle, offering motor-powered movement even without pedaling. If you’re looking to buy bikes that redefine your riding experience, electric bikes are the answer.
Riding an electric bike is intuitive – it feels just like riding a traditional bike, but with an extra boost whenever you need it. You have the choice to engage the motor for easier pedaling or even ride using only the motor power.
In North America, electric bikes are classified into three regulatory classes, which is important to understand when you buy bikes:
- Class 1: Pedal-assist only, with motor assistance up to 20 mph.
- Class 2: Pedal-assist and throttle, with motor assistance up to 20 mph.
- Class 3: Pedal-assist only, with motor assistance up to 28 mph.
At Rad Power Bikes, we specialize in Class 2 and Class 3 electric bikes. Our bikes are equipped with batteries designed to last for 45-50 miles on a single charge, although this range can vary based on power usage, terrain, and rider/cargo weight. When you buy bikes from Rad Power Bikes, you’re investing in quality and range.
How Ebikes Enhance Your Ride When You Buy Bikes
Electric bikes utilize either a geared hub or direct drive motor to convert battery energy into pedal assistance. This system adds power to each pedal stroke, making riding more efficient and enjoyable. This is the pedal-assist feature. Many of our electric bikes at Rad Power Bikes also include a throttle, which allows the bike to move forward without pedaling, similar to a moped. This dual functionality is a key consideration when you buy bikes.
Electric bikes are designed as ebikes from the ground up, ensuring seamless integration of the motor and battery. While ebike conversion kits exist to electrify traditional bikes, purchasing a purpose-built ebike from Rad Power Bikes guarantees optimal performance and reliability. When you buy bikes designed as ebikes, you avoid the complexities of retrofitting.
Why Buy Bikes That Are Electric? The Benefits are Clear
Electric bikes are a fantastic addition to modern life. They’re incredibly versatile and can be used for daily errands, commuting to work, and enjoying outdoor adventures like camping, hiking, and fishing. For those looking to buy bikes that enhance mobility, ebikes are ideal. They can also make it easier to ride with children and generally make getting around more fun and accessible.
Beyond personal use, electric bikes have significant commercial applications. Domino’s pizza franchises, for example, use our ebikes for food deliveries, and numerous rental fleets rely on Rad Power Bikes for durable and dependable vehicles. Businesses looking to buy bikes for commercial purposes find great value in ebikes.
