Bikes, Hikes, Music, Mushrooms

Ecotric E-Bikes

We have assembled our first shipment of Ecotric E-Bikes, and are excited to offer them for sale at our shop. We especially enjoy the size, power and fun of the 20″ folding e-bikes, while the 26″ city and offroad bikes are great for commuting, running errands, or just tooling around Bloomington. They offer a great blend of performance and price value, making them a great first e-bike purchase.

In addition, the small wheels provide addtional torque and maneuverability in tight spaces.
