A couple of cool events coming up on April 25th

FREE E-BIKE MONEY FROM THE GOVERNMENT!
Apply this Monday! Then if you win (it is a lottery) then come see us for a great quality ebike. Most people will get $1200! Even if you don't win, come see us. Today's e-bikes are soooooo much better than the past. Lighter, higher quality, slicker and safer and more stylish. And they come with our professional assembly which is bar none.

Longtime customer finally got the paint job his Specialized Allez deserved. Really cool burnt orange done by our friends at

The next round of free government money to buy an ebike is happening Now!
It isn't a free ebike, it is a rebate towards an ebike.
Quality ebikes start around $2000. Considering that the motor and battery together are about $1000 of that, the only way to make an ebike at the $1200 price point is to cut corners, either with a low range battery and small underpowered motor or cheap bike parts. So beware of all ebikes under $1500. They just don't hold up to extended use and their range is much lower than advertised, especially on Seattle's hills.

So sign up today for your chance to win $1200 towards a new ebike!
We are ebike dealers for Fuji, Aventon, Troxus, Surly, Rad Power and more!
