Electric Bike Systems
E-bikes are easy to ride and a ton of fun. You can still get the exercise you want, when you want it but if you need help getting to your destination the electric assist system is there for you.
Bosch and Shimano are producing some of the best systems available for e-bikes. These companies produce reliable, safe, serviceable, and user-friendly systems.
We feel it is critical to buy an bike with an e-bike system that is well-supported by the manufacturer. That means that they provide technical training, have repair parts available in the USA, and offer good warranty terms. That's why we have selected only bikes with Bosch and Shimano systems for bikes we sell in our store.
Whether you're looking for an electric family, cargo, utility, or commuter bike, we have a range of top quality options.
Bosch’s state-of-the art technology delivers reliable and sophisticated e-bike performance and aesthetics. No matter which Bosch system you choose, you’ll have a fun, reliable, and maintainable e-bike.
Most Riese & Muller models now have the NEW Smart System, as do some Tern bikes. Bosch Smart System e-bikes feature 545WH and 750 WH batteries and some offer the option of a range extending Power More battery to add an additional 250WH. Sync the Smart System with the Bosch eBike Flow app and you have a lot of options for getting data about your ride and customizing your console. Some of our E-bike brands come equipped pre-Smart System Bosch motors. Those models may haveh 400, 500, 625 WH batteries . Some bike models also offer Bosch Dual Battery technology.
So, whether you want high torque or high speed Bosch has several options to consider. Not sure which Bosch battery and motor configuration is right for you? Check out the Bosch Range assistant to see what might best fit your needs, or consult with one of our experts.
With Bosch, depending on the bike brand, you may have a choice of display (see photo). Simple, full of data, or connecting to your smart phone via bluetooth/app, are all possibilities.
