The Model C from EBC is our classic stand over beach cruiser – a model that’s long been popular with our EBC customers wanting a big, solid electric bike to cruise around on. Like all our models, the Model C is a top-quality E-Bike at an exceptionally good price. We keep our overheads low and our costs minimal by selling online and direct to you. That means we don’t have to build in any warehousing, distribution, or retail fees to our pricing model.
Our Model C is assembled by our expert technicians right here in the US using high quality global materials and is shipped directly to your door fully assembled. All you do it take it out of the box, remove the custom foam packaging and twist the handlebars into place. This is a feature that many of our customers find particularly attractive. As Micah Toll from Electrek puts it “Electric Bike Company gets some serious props here from me for not making me screw a dozen parts onto a partially dinged up bike like is sometimes the case with other direct to consumer E-Bike companies.”
Classic Model C Details
The Model C has 27” wide steel cruiser handlebars and an onboard battery charger which allows you to charge your bike anywhere without having to lug around a separate charger. With a powerful motor and both pedal assist and throttle, you’ll find you’ve got plenty of power to propel you up hills and along trails.
The large rear rack on the Model C houses the battery but also provides plenty of carrying space for cargo or a rear mounted crate – available as an accessory. There’s also an optional front basket that provides a huge amount of additional storage.

Bob Staples – EBC Bike Owners Group member shares his thoughts on the Model C:
- Why I selected the Model C?
I have always loved the look of the old classic cruisers. I had a black beach cruiser in the 80’s with a surf rack attached and it took me wherever the waves were breaking the best. - What do you love about your Model C?
There are so many things I love about the bike and the options that come with it. It’s an amazing built bike, super strong and powerful. I used to race road bikes and did lots of off-road mountain riding and I know this bike is made and designed well. A quality made bike and super fun to ride almost anywhere. - How did you customize your Model C?
I added EBC 7-speed option to my single speed, which I love. I made a how to video to help others make the conversion. I added red pin stripping to the fenders, ergonomic handlebar grips, upgraded the seat post and added a bike bell from my old 1937 John Wannamaker cruiser!

Best Electric Bike
“The Electric Bike Company outdid themselves on the Model C I ordered. From the custom color metallic paint to the real wood fenders, the bike was immaculate and blemish free. There may be other electric bikes on the market but none approach the ones made by EBC.”
