E-bikes are electric bikes with a motor that gives cyclists a boost. Electric bikes use rechargeable batteries and travel up to 45 km/h. When you use an electric bike to get around, you can:
- Save thousands of dollars a year on fuel and maintenance by replacing daily car trips with e-bike rides
- Cycle longer distances and more challenging terrain
- Put aside the worries of arriving sweaty at your destination
- Reduce your carbon footprint when running errands or commuting to work
A limited number of discounts are available monthly for Denver E-Bikes and E-Bikes. Denver residents can save up to $1,700 on an e-bike purchase from a qualifying store.
