Knowledgeable staff 

Bike shop staff aren’t just sales-
people. They’re riders who use and 
understand the products they sell. 

The right fit 

Your shop can set up and adjust your 
bike to fit you, your riding style, and 
your preferences. 

Professional mechanics 

Service staff at your shop will keep 
your bike or e-bike in tip-top shape 
season after season. 

Warranty service 

If you have an issue with a product we 
sell, your bike shop is committed to 
making it right. 

There’s a shop for  

every rider 

We work with over 2,000 local bike 
shops in the U.S. and hundreds 
more worldwide. While some dealers 
specialize in performance bikes, 
Electra retailers offer something for 
everyone. It’s all about getting on 
bikes and enjoying the ride. 

If you don’t already have a favorite 
shop, the best place to find one is

Important e-bike information

It is important to read this manual and the supplemental  
Electric Bicycle Owner’s Manual carefully before you ride your  
new electric bike. 

• There’s good stuff in each manual 
about your e-bike.

• We’re partners in protecting the 
earth, so you need to properly use, 
maintain, and dispose of electrical 
components.

In addition to the operation of your 
e-bike section, we recommend you 
read the 

Important to read before the 

first ride

 section of the supplement. 

Get to know your bike shop 

The best way to ensure many happy hours of trouble-free cycling is to 
build a relationship with your favorite bike shop. 

The ultimate resource 

This manual contains lots of valuable 
information about your bicycle — and 
there’s even more in the 

Support

 

section of electrabike.com.

But a manual or a website can’t fix 
a flat, tune your derailleur, correct 

your saddle height, pour you a cup of 
coffee, or wax endlessly about that 
one time when you almost won that 
one thing. 

Locally owned bike shops are the 
heart and soul of cycling. Here’s just a 
sampling of what they offer:
