E-bikes provide intense exercise, but it doesn’t feel like a workout Participants hit elevated heart rate on both e-bikes and regular bikes

E-Bikes & Two Wheel Drive:
We've grown to love eBikes- And, we're offering several models from Kona, Surly, Terra Trike & Catrike-We love the assistance Class 1 Shimano & Bosch Drive units offer- You can still benefit from the NOT-self-propelled 20mph max speed, and you'll find you WANT to RIDE more often and longer each ride. That nasty hill or headwind that has been taking away the fun, is more easily conquered. All the benefits of pedaling still apply- physical and mental. And, because we only sell solid models from reliable brands, you'll jump on and ride just like before. Ask the crew for a test ride, and you'll see what we mean.

We will be taking a short Vacation to enjoy the Thanksgiving Holiday-

Want an "Open Road" experience, without TRAFFIC?
Not much better than the GRAVEL of Cabezon! We've got the Beta & Bikes to help you-
