Features

Flat Foot Technology® has been awarded not one, but two patents. Yeah, kind of a big deal. You really need to ride an Electra to feel it, but the overall benefit is comfort and control. It provides an upright, relaxed seating position with proper leg extension that allows you to plant your feet flat on the ground whenever you want or need to.

Secure your ride with this frame-mounted lock near the rear tire. Grocery shop or hit the gym with the comfort of knowing your Electra is safe and sound.

Quiet. Smooth. Reliable. The Bosch Active Line Plus 250-watt motor gives you the confidence to charge up hills and go the distance while reaching assisted speeds up to 20 mph (25 km/h). Four power levels from Eco to Turbo ensure you'll have a blast riding around town or to the next town over.

Do it all with the touch of a button, or two. The Bosch Purion display keeps tabs on your speed and battery charge, and lets you choose your power support level from Eco to Turbo while keeping your hands safely on the handlebars.

Equipped, or 'EQ' as we say at Electra, simply means that your ride comes with some sweet added benefits. Colour-matched mudguards keep you clean and dry while front and rear LED lights help you see and be seen.

In addition to the pedals, the saddle and grips are the only places where you come into direct contact with your bike. Your comfort is our number one priority.

Hydraulic disc brakes are pretty much the king of brakes. Controlled by a hand lever and fluid within the cable, these bad boys are super responsive and allow you to stop with supreme efficiency.

Who wants to see a load of wires and cables hanging off your bike? This isn't the back of your TV we're talking about. That's why we've concealed all your wires and cables inside the bike's frame.

Internal or i refers to a system that houses all the gears inside a weatherproof rear hub. Internal multi-speed hubs are available in 3, 5 or 7 speeds and have wider gear ratios. Internal gear systems are low-maintenance, easy-to-use and allow you to change gears without pedalling or even standing still. It's not magic, it's engineering.

These Kevlar® Guard puncture-resistant tyres absorb impact and ensure a smooth ride across any terrain. You never know what the road, boardwalk, alley or trail has in store, and these tyres let you roll faster and further without the worry of getting a flat.

Balance and efficiency are the name of the game. That's why we placed the motor on the bottom bracket in between the pedals, providing ultimate stability and control with a lower centre of gravity while riding.

Our MIK compatible racks make it a piece of cake to secure any MIK accessory. Click it on . . . and you're off.

Specifically designed for e-bike motors, the Shimano 5-speed internal rear hub makes it easier than ever to control your output and battery life. This low-maintenance, easy-to-use system allows for seamless shifting even as you climb steep hills.
