Trying your first Ebike is always an adventure. In Ohio, there are a few places we have found to be really friendly like Orbit Bikes in Clintonville.

The owner will usually let your ride around the building or take each bike out for a test ride across the street int he neighborhood. You can really get a feel for each one that way, and then decided which one you want to buy. Here is a google list we found.

WHAT ARE EBIKES?

Electric bicycles, often referred to as e-bikes, are bicycles with an integrated electric motor that provides assistance to the rider. These motors are typically powered by rechargeable batteries and can be used to augment the rider's pedaling efforts, making cycling easier and more accessible. E-bikes have gained popularity for their versatility and the advantages they offer. Here are some key features and benefits of e-bikes:

Assisted Pedaling: E-bikes provide electric assistance when pedaling, making it easier to tackle hills, headwinds, or long distances. Riders can choose the level of assistance, allowing them to pedal with less effort or maintain a regular workout.
Variety of Styles: E-bikes come in various styles, including traditional city bikes, mountain bikes, cargo bikes, and folding bikes. This diversity allows riders to choose a style that suits their needs and preferences.
Range: E-bikes have a range that depends on factors such as battery capacity, terrain, and how much assistance is used. Many e-bikes can cover 20 to 50 miles on a single charge, and some high-end models can go even farther.
Environmentally Friendly: E-bikes produce no emissions and have a smaller carbon footprint compared to gas-powered vehicles. They offer an eco-friendly transportation option.
Health Benefits: While e-bikes provide assistance, riders can still get exercise by pedaling. They are an excellent option for people who want to remain active but need a bit of help due to physical limitations.
Cost Savings: E-bikes are cost-effective in the long run. They are cheaper to purchase and maintain than many other forms of transportation, and they can replace car trips for commuting and errands.
Commute and Traffic: E-bikes are a convenient and efficient mode of transportation for commuting, helping riders avoid traffic congestion and reduce travel time. They can also be used for shorter trips around town.
Less Sweating: The electric assistance means you can arrive at your destination without getting too sweaty, making e-bikes a more appealing choice for many riders, especially in hot climates.
Accessibility: E-bikes can be a great option for people who might have mobility issues or find traditional biking too strenuous. They make cycling more accessible to a wider range of individuals.
Regulations: E-bike regulations vary by location, so it's important to check your local laws and restrictions. Different places may classify e-bikes differently, requiring specific speed limits or safety equipment.

E-bikes have become increasingly popular as a practical and sustainable mode of transportation, and they continue to evolve with advancements in battery technology and motor efficiency. Whether you're looking for a fun way to explore your local area or a reliable means of commuting, e-bikes offer a convenient and eco-friendly solution.
