Considering whether to opt for a 7-speed or direct drive E-Bike? Rest assured, both options offer advantages, catering to different preferences and needs.
Direct Drive
If efficiency and speed over long distances are your priorities, a direct drive motor is the way to go. Not only does it require minimal maintenance, but our EBC bikes equipped with direct drive motors offer five levels of both throttle and pedal assistance, ensuring seamless journeys from start to finish. Just remember to recharge after each ride to avoid unexpected battery drainage mid-ride.
7-Speed
With a 7-speed geared E-Bike, you have more versatility. Whether you prefer the challenge of a tougher gear for a workout or opt for an easier gear to ease strain on your legs, the 7-speed setup grants you that freedom. Plus, the array of gears makes conquering hills a breeze, making your ride both enjoyable and effortless.
Upgrade to 7-Speed
All our EBC bikes come equipped with direct drive as standard, with the option to upgrade to a 7-speed configuration with Shimano shifter and derailleur for only $49 across all models. We recommend consulting your local E-Bike specialist for the conversion process, as it does require some technical know-how. If you’re in Orange County, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team of specialists – we’re here to ensure you’re cruising in style and comfort in no time.
