Electric bikes are revolutionizing cycling by making riding easier, more accessible, and more enjoyable for a wide range of riders. Whether you're commuting, exploring trails, or just cruising around town, an e-bike provides an extra boost of power to help you go further with less effort. At Oak Bay Bikes, we carry a wide selection of e-bikes to suit every rider’s needs.

Who Are E-Bikes For?

  • Commuters looking to replace their car or reduce travel time while avoiding traffic. 
  • Recreational riders who want to enjoy longer rides without overexertion. 
  • Mountain bikers seeking extra assistance on climbs and more power for technical trails. 
  • Older riders or those with mobility concerns who need a little extra support to keep riding. 
  • Anyone looking to have fun!

Key Components

Battery: The battery determines the range of your e-bike. Most modern e-bikes use lithium-ion batteries that offer long lifespans and quick charging times.  

Motor: The motor provides pedal assistance and comes in different configurations, including mid-drive and hub-drive systems.  

Display & Controls: Displays show essential information such as speed, battery life, and power level. Some models include smartphone connectivity.
