Why buy brand name eBikes?  
  • Try before you buy
  • Knowledgeable staff 
  • After sales support & assistance 
  • Tested & CSA approved motor & battery
  • Support local bike stores in your community 

Buying an electric bicycle from a local store is a better choice for several reasons. Firstly, a local store allows you to test ride the electric bicycle before you purchase it. This is important because it lets you see if the bike is comfortable and suitable for your needs. Unlike online purchases, which do not offer this benefit, you can get a feel for the bike and determine whether it's the right choice for you. In addition, a local store will have knowledgeable staff who can answer your questions and help you choose the best electric bicycle for your needs. They can provide valuable advice and guidance on the features and benefits of different models, as well as assist with any repairs or maintenance needed in the future.

Secondly, buying an electric bicycle from a local store offers a high level of customer service and support. Local stores offer warranties and guarantees on their products, as well as after-sales support and assistance. This can be especially helpful if you encounter any issues with your electric bicycle or need help with repairs or maintenance. Additionally, buying from a local store supports the local economy and helps to sustain jobs in the community. By purchasing from a local store, you're not only getting a quality product but also helping to support your community. Therefore, buying an electric bicycle from a local store offers many benefits, from personalized customer service to supporting local businesses.

Another reason to consider buying an electric bicycle from a local store is that brand name electric bikes have tested and CSA approved batteries and motors. While this ultimately adds to the cost of the bike, it also provides peace of mind when it comes to safety and reliability. By purchasing a brand name electric bicycle, you can be confident that the bike has undergone rigorous testing to ensure that it meets safety standards. This is particularly important when it comes to the battery and motor, as these components play a critical role in the bike's performance and safety.

It's worth noting that although brand name electric bikes may be more expensive than their non-branded counterparts, the investment is worth it in the long run. With a reliable bike that's built to last, you'll save money on repairs and maintenance in the future. Additionally, the peace of mind that comes with knowing that you're riding a safe and reliable bike is priceless. Ultimately, when it comes to purchasing an electric bicycle, it's important to consider the long-term benefits and choose a reputable, reliable brand that will provide you with years of enjoyable and safe riding.
