Features
Premium Puncture Resistant Tire
With exclusive APS (anti-puncture system) technology and 3mm of protection between the tread and casing, you have maximum puncture resistance. The impenetrable tire, successfully defies all foreign objects from getting to the inner tube below. You can go anywhere, anytime, no worries.
Aluminum 6061, Hydro-formed Frame
Constructed via a 7 step process including painting, cleaning, base primer, 3 coats of paint, and 2 coats of clear sealant. A heat treatment gives extra strength and durability.
The frames are constructed to ensure neat, hidden wiring while still looking classic. Strong, patent-pending, front bracket allows for cargo adaptation and basket assembly, which ensuring secure handlebar functions.
While most frames are 1.5 mm thick, we double that in most areas to 3 mm for sturdiness.
BEST motor in the world
We use the best motors in the world with top quality neodymium magnets and copper windings.
The 48V battery allows for 1250 watts of power to be delivered to the motor when needed, such as with acceleration and hill climbing with load (up to 250 pounds). The 500w rated motor is excellent for continuous use (normal riding only needs about 200-330 watts).
Motor is expected to last over 18 years.
Plug & Play - it's easy
Electric Bike Company’s patent pending, waterproof wiring system couldn’t be easier. Match the colors and you’re good to go!
Developed for ease of replacement, maintenance and service.
Thumbthrottle for safety
We prefer thumb throttles over twist throttles, as we have found twist throttles very dangerous, especially when lifting your bike over curbs and obstacles. Operators often twist the throttle in error which can cause the E-bike to shoot forward and out of control.

Thanks for letting us use the ’fat tire’ size. I have a good mountain bike but can’t ride on local trails since they are completely sandy and make the bike unsteady. The tree inch tiire may work.
Gerald C.
I wasn't shopping for another ebike when I came across this beauty. I have an ebike that I am very happy with but,,,, this Electric Bike Company model E is awesome! At first I passed it up because it didn't have gears, its just a direct drive, I thought No way am I going to have a bike with no gears, most of my riding involves many hills.. the sales person assured me that I could always add gears, so I took it for a second test ride and easily glided up the hills with no problem and plenty of power to spare.This bike is light weight, super easy to handle, accommodates a variety of sizes of people even my friend who is under 5 ft tall and 81 years old loves this bike and just ordered one for herselfLeslie
Jazzyy C.
My wife and I had been looking for e-bikes for a couple of months. Test drove many of the popular brands. EBC was the last ones we test drove and after our test drive we were hooked! Within a week, the new Model E came out and we jumped on it and bought them. Love the ride and have received many complements when out riding. EBC one of the easiest companies to work with.
Kirk M.
I recently received an Model S from EBC and have been very impressed with the quality of this bike. All the components are first rate and function as designed. The Model S is a large bike and is not a light weight but this heft illustrates the overall build quality. The ability to customize (fine tune) the bike's performance through the KT-LCD8H display is one of my favorite features. I can "dial-in" my bike to maximize my own riding style. This is my third e-bike and by far the most enjoyable to ride. There are certainly less expensive e-bikes out there but for the money I can't think of a better made bike than the Electric Bike Company Model S.
Kerry G.
Great bikes, great buying experience. We purchased a “C” and “y” model. We’ve made time to ride everyday. We researched different e-bikes, but nothing compared in style and durability. And the warranty put them above the rest.
Erica B.
My wife and I just purchased a Model R and a Model Y. Trailering them down to our condo in Florida and can’t wait to use them to bike over to the beach and miss the traffic. Definitely one of our best purchases we have made.
Steve G.
I received my Model R last month a few weeks earlier than promised. Possibly because of the expansion of facilities. My bike is way above my expectations. So far I have not been able to ride to work as scheduling has not allowed the main reason for the purchase, but the riding I have done is fantastic. Have added mirrors, cell phone holder and cup holder for my coffee for early morning ride to work. Living in the desert which is predominantly flat, should be an easy cruise for my R. Love the quality. Thanks EBC.
Richard E.
Very happy with our bikes. We got a Model Y for me and a Model X for my husband. Couldn’t be happier with our bikes. They are comfortable, stylish and a lot of fun to ride.
Katya R.
My Mom bought a bike about two years ago and absolutely loves it. So much so that when someone rides by us she yells out “EBC!!”. She looked at ever electric bike on the market and ultimately chose EBC due to its superiority. She can’t say enough great things.
Courtney B.
I custom built my Y Model from the ground up. As a designer, I'm blown away by the options for customization, the quality of the craftsmanship and the overall result. My bike turns heads wherever we go and the riding experience is amazing. The interface of changing manual gears, toggling between pedal assist levels, and throttle is so seamless you can utilize all options at the same time. This bike is a game changer.
Sheri K.
I purchased a model Y for my wife. She loves it. We got the 24" wheels to accommodate her height (or lack of...) The service is extremely good. All the people are very helpful. It is nice to work with a company that actually has people answer the phone, and even call you back when they say they will. They were very understanding and kept me informed of the progress of my bike as it was in production. It arrived in a custom built box on a pallet. The carrier they used delivered it on time and with no damage. I would highly recommend the Electric Bike Company to anyone who is in the market for a high end, American built bike.
Louis D.
Update: Not "Y", Model S for Supahhhh!
Lynette T
Great service and a great product! Very efficient and knowledgeable about their product too! These are the bikes that catch everyone's eye!
Dena C.
I have put over 500 miles on my bike in the last 2 months. I ride it more than my custom motorcycle.
mark S.
My experience with electric bike company was absolutely amazing. Blake and Bella were very helpful while I was ordering my model R. I ordered it fully customized completely black with dual electric motors. I test rode it before ordering and had a complete satisfaction with quality power and overall experience riding his bicycle. I can’t wait to get my model R. So far, this is the best bicycle company I’ve ever dealt with. I would highly recommend electric bike company to anyone if you are looking to purchase the best electric bike.
H S
I purchased a Model S ebike from Electric Bike Company and am very happy with my choice. I sold my other ebike because it just wasn't powerful enough to get me up my hilly terrain. That is no longer a problem, zooms right up. The bike is sturdy, well built and very stylish(must keep up apperances :). The EBC team as been very responsive to all my questions. Overall very satisfying experiance.
Vanessa Y.
Just got our bikes today. We love them!!! Service was great, the staff was awesome and so helpful. We loved the whole experience in buying our bikes.
Scott H.
Picked up our bikes today at the Newport Beach showroom and had the best day riding around Newport and down to Huntington Beach. The whole experience, from coming in a few months back to test ride, down to the final pick up was smooth and pleasant. The staff was helpful and informative and answered all our questions. We can’t wait to start adding more miles to our rides.
Robyn H.
I have already ridden my EBC bike more than my old bike that was in the garage for 10+ years. I get compliments everywhere I go and am rediscovering my town. I can’t say enough about EBC.
Lynn K.
Hello to EBC via Up North Bikes, in Nisswa, MN and Lucette, Paul Bunyan’s girlfriend in Hackensack. We couldn’t be more pleased with our bikes, the quality with which they are crafted, the ease of custom ordering with our Rep Tim, and their delivery. Can’t wait for Spring to be on them again.Our bikes arrived in MN as the leaves were falling. We were so happy to get Nick and Ian, named after the guys who built our beautiful bikes right, here in the USA!!!
Julie B.
Love my EBC bike! I picked it from the Huntington Beach shop and rode it home, so much fun! I've been able to ride it every weekend since and made new bike friends. I love that even with stock colors I could customize it, love the pop of red of the rims. Thanks EBC for the amazing bike and can't wait to put even more miles on it.
Tara W.
Sharing why the Electric Bike Company has the best built bikes anywhere. I can no longer ride my basic mountain bike anymore. Due too a car accident ‘where I was rear ended 2 years ago. Can’t lean forward with neck up “to much soreness and tension. That’s where these great bikes come in! Ergonomic is the word I’m going to use ‘my spine is vertical (comfortable seats). And the handlebars wrap around so I’m perfectly upright. If your looking for electric bikes this is the company you want too go to. The owners are fabulous ‘all the employees are so helpful. Customer service is top notch!!! Have referred my friends and clients ‘who have bought bikes here. Have a great day and enjoy your bikes! Thank You Sincerely Michael Black

Very cool

These nice folks were at Palm Springs Pride and I bought a bike from them. Firstly, this bike is GORGEOUS. It's a Model S (I test-rode all of the ones they had on site) in red. It's got that classic beach cruiser style (as they all do) and rides beautifully. I've now got about 15 miles on the bike, so I'm still getting to know it, but I couldn't be happier. It's going to be a cruise-around-town bike for me and I believe it's perfect for that. I've tried all 5 assist levels (level 5 is just faster than I need to go on a city street, but good to know I've got it) and find that 1 or 2 is good for me most of the time.I talked with three sales guys, all of whom were super helpful (Parker, Ryan, and Justin who closed the sale). I have another e-bike and this one is a step up. I highly recommend.
Greg B.
Thee e-bikes are absolutely beautiful. They also listen to their customers with the introduction of the new model E. Excellent bikes!

Just completed my first bike ride on my new Electric Bike Company Model S and it was a dream ride. I’ve been thinking about getting an electric bike for a few years now. I did all the research and read all the reviews and chose a custom bike from the Electric Bike Company. I loved the fact that I could customize it any way I wanted, ballet pink and black, just so pretty! Chris chatted with when I first called, and the second time I called and, recognizing my number, the third time I called. He was so patient and upbeat and answered every question. The delivery was perfect and the adjustments for my fit were easy. One note, if you are under 5’8”, don’t order the suspension seat. It will be too high and your feet won’t touch the ground. My first ride was so smooth. I got a great workout and some help with the hills. It is so easy to ride and crazy comfortable. I highly recommend this bike!!
Paula W.
Love my model R and I rode 66 miles in one charge! It is so fun to ride and so comfortable. I love the suspension and the color that I chose. I made a review on the bike and is posted on my YouTube channel: adventures with R&S.
Robert J.
I have a model X with the extended battery and love taking it for a spin every weekend I can. Rides so smooth and has a ton of power. My wife has been riding her beach cruiser with me and always asks to switch on the ride home. So just ordered her a EBC that we will pick up when in HB for Thanksgiving. She is very excited. Now I get to ride mine both ways!!
Dave K.
Bike arrived as expected and I was quickly able to get it setup and riding. Their customer support has been excellent and quick to respond with any issues. I would definitely recommend this company to others!
Jeff G.
My wife and I received our bikes yesterday. We were out riding a short time after delivery. What a great experience from the simple process of customizing our bikes to unpacking and setting up. We love our new bikes.
Ralph V.
My wife and I recently moved to Jacksonville Beach and I am recuperating from surgery from a meniscus tear in my knee. For both of these reasons my new Model R bike from the Electric Bike Company has been a godsend. I’ve not only been able to get out and explore my new community, but I’ve also been able to keep my knee in motion and safely exercise it, thanks to pedal assist, in order to build back muscle.
David V.
Just ordered Model R and can’t wait to get it in about few weeks as they promised. Customer service and the process of ordering were definitely 5 stars experience. I managed to test ride it before ordering and absolutely fell in love with that bike. I can’t wait to get mine. Incredible!!
V S
The guys at Electric Bike Co in HB were super knowledgeable and accommodating. Jeff was friendly, thorough and efficient with the whole order process! Mick was cool too. So happy we decided to go with this company for our ebikes! ‘Merica

I love my e bikeI got it the first of September and find it easy to ride. I am a senior and was a little worried.It is very user friendly! It gives a smooth ride.The customer service has been wonderful!I looked at many other brands before I choose this brand and am so glad I picked this one!
kathy B.
Proud owners of two beautifully crafted electric bikes made right here in the USA! Not only are their bikes superior, Customer Service is by far the best I've ever encountered! You want answers, you will get an actual person immediately , whether it is via phone, mail, or a pop up while browsing their site. One evening I was reading some reviews about people that were having delivery damage issues, which was unusual because I hadnt read that before. While reading, the Co founder, Sean Lupton-Smith, pops up in a customer service bubble asking how he can assist. I expressed my concern about the deliveries and he explained they were having some problems and were looking in to different shippers. Right there and then, he pulled up my order and made the changes at 8pm EST! There's so much to love about this company, what they stand for, their transparency, how they started and where they are going . Thank you @Electric Bike Company @Sean Lupton-Smith
David G.
We were introduced to Electric Bike Company by our good friends, who had already put their bike through the paces. Since we had customizable options and the fact that they manufacture locally, in the USA, made purchasing from them a no brainer!Thanks Electric Bike Company for delivering Val’s custom painted electric beach cruiser. As a decades long Los Angeles Chargers fan, she wanted to represent with team colors. Electric Bike Company offered a complete customizable building platform with an infinity of paint selections. Using the Electric Bike Company's website made the process simple and allowed us to choose the options Val wanted as a personal touch for her bike. The colors came out amazing! Manufactured and hand built in Costa Mesa, California. It only took a little over a month to receive the bike and they personally delivered the bike to our door. Build quality is top tier. Crazy to think the bike can go nearly 30mph. Fittingly, Val has named her bike, Bolt
Eric B.
Just received my shiny red model S. Very impressed by the build quality, customization options and service. Looking forward to riding and getting back into shape. Bravo Electric Bike Company.
Steve R.
Grossly overpriced for the product and service. My Wife ordered a Model R and paid +3K. The lead time on the bike was advertised as 4-5 weeks. It was delivered yesterday after 12 weeks, after a failed quality inspection (which is where we should've cancelled) The shipping company delivered as 'no signature required' which makes no sense on cargo this expensive.The condition of the bike on arrival was terrible. The bolt the holds the fender to the seat post is completely stripped making it impossible to change the height of the seat. The fenders and kickstand all had scuffs and visible damages. The most offensive condition being the bracket that holds power button is completely snapped, which makes the bike completely unsafe to ride... not that she can anyways since she can't change the seat height.After contacting Blake at EBC the first response we got was that they would mail us new parts... ok in 12 weeks? Absolutely ridiculous. After paying this much we cannot wait for them to mail a new bolt and bracket which will not help anyways as the old bolt is so stripped we can't get it out.Truly disappointing as my wife has been waiting so long. We could have gotten two bikes for the price of this one from Rad Power Bikes. The customer service has been hands down awful and my wife has a bike that she cannot ride. Look Elsewhere for a better company.
Jessica B.
Love my 2 beach trikes that EB sold me
Don Dave Mobley C.
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE my EBC bike! I got the Model E in black. I cannot say enough great things about my bike and the EBC staff!!

I have bought 3 Electric bike company bicycles. I bought the Y model for my wife. It was the perfect choice for her, it handles really well and the ease of operation makes it the funnest bike riding experience she’s ever had.
foster C.
Great bike for the price, killer design and functionality, love that it's made here in the u.s.a. and the customer service is top notch. Thanks electric bike company
Justin W.
Top notch quality and affordable for the price. Great purchase, love the ride.

Great bikes!!

I purchased my Model S over 3 years ago. I can't begin to tell you the pleasure it brings me on my afternoon rides. Everyone I run into wants to know more about my bike.The service I have received from Sean and everyone at the company is incredible.The other day I called to get a replacement piece for my on/off switch. FedEx just delivered it to me. How great is that?FYI, the parts are so easily replaced. I love My Model S!I highly recommend EBC!!
Leslie H.
I’m super excited to pick up my new EBC bike today. I stoped by the HB store on Brookhurst and spoke with Blake… he was super friendly and knowledgeable.I took the new E model for a test ride and was thrilled with quality & performance. I love the built in battery in the center of the frame and was surprised by the intro price of $1399. I’m an instant fan. The best part is they have plenty in stock at the moment. I’m looking forward to customizing my new bike with the awesome wood fenders they offer in the store.
