Range varies depending on battery size, terrain, rider weight, assist level, and wind. Most quality e-bikes deliver 25–60 miles per charge in real-world conditions. Premium models with larger batteries can exceed 80 miles. Come in and we'll match you to a bike that fits your actual riding habits — not just the spec sheet.

Most e-bike batteries take 3–6 hours for a full charge on a standard charger. Fast chargers can reach 80% in about 2 hours. We recommend charging after every ride rather than letting the battery fully drain — lithium batteries prefer partial charges and it significantly extends their lifespan.

Class 1 — Pedal-assist only, motor cuts off at 20 mph. Allowed on most trails and bike paths.

Class 2 — Has a throttle (no pedaling required), motor cuts off at 20 mph. Slightly more restricted on some trails.

Class 3 — Pedal-assist only, assists up to 28 mph. Faster, but restricted to roads and bike lanes in many areas. Not permitted on shared-use paths in Georgia unless posted otherwise.

In Georgia, e-bikes do not require a driver's license, registration, or insurance. Class 1 and 2 are treated like traditional bicycles. Class 3 tops out at 28 mph motor-assist and riders must be 15 or older. Always wear a helmet — it's smart regardless of what the law says.

E-bikes need the same care as regular bikes — keep the chain clean and lubed, check tire pressure, and inspect brakes before rides. On top of that: store your battery between 20–80% if not riding for a while, keep the motor area clean and dry, and bring it in annually. We'll catch anything developing before it becomes a real problem.

Hub motors sit in the wheel and push or pull the bike independently of your pedaling. They're simpler, less expensive to maintain, and great for flat terrain and casual riding.

Mid-drive motors sit at the crankset and work through the bike's gearing system — so the motor and your legs work together efficiently. They handle hills better, feel more natural, and tend to offer better range. Cost more and require more specialized service, but for serious riders it's usually worth it.
