Making an Electric Tandem Bike

The unique double-rider frame of a tandem bike is a great option for a couple riding along the flat stretches of beach-side boardwalks, but what if you want to take this beast of a bike up a hill? That's double the weight, and double the power you have to pedal. How about turning it into an electric tandem bike?

Of course, we're big fans of the BionX electric bike kit as the best electric conversion kit. It's also customizable enough to fit a tandem bike, with extension cables and various battery mounts. Read a bit more about electric tandem bikes, because they're certainly not like your average electric bike.

Electric bike section including OHM, eZeebike, EcoBikes and Sanyo Eneloop electric bike

Electric bikes

are for the most part bicycles with a motor, charger, speed controller and lithium battery. The electric bicycle is not intended to be a motorcycle or moped but rather an assisted bicycle that is easier to pedal and more fun to ride than a non- powered bike. (although if need be, on selected models you can ride without pedaling up to the legal speed limit of 20mph.)

Our electric bicycle selection includes the electric powered Ecobikes, the OHM bikes from Canada, Sanyo Eneloop electric bicycle and the high performance line of eZee bikes.


Folding bike selection including Brompton, Dahon, Xootr Swift and Strida

Folding bikes

Electric bike motor kits

Electric bike motor kits

are designed to retrofit a standard non-powered bicycle or trike with an electric motor, usually powered by high performance Lithium batteries.

Electric Bikes vs Electric Cars

Looking to electrify your life, but unsure if you should get an electric car or an electric bike? It's true, there are huge differences between these two types of sustainable vehicles. However, the high-priced electric cars on the market, despite the trends toward better batteries, are still impractical for the average person. A better choice would be an affordable electric bike, where convenience wins out over glamor.

Comparing electric bikes to electric cars may seem like comparing apples to oranges, but in the commuter world, both are viable options. See why we think an electric bike is the better choice, for your wallet, your health, and your sanity.

Electric bikes: Safer than Regular Bikes?

Many people are hesitant to try riding an electric bike because they feel the added power is going to be more dangerous than a pedal powered bike. I guess being in the middle of Manhattan doesn't really help either.

The truth is, an electric bike is actually safer to ride than a regular bike, especially on the city streets. The heavy, stable frames and speed cutoffs make for a ride that is not too fast, and very easy to maneuver. Read about the safety of electric bikes.

Hitting The Trails: Electric Mountain Bikes!

The effort it takes to climb a mountain trail on a bicycle is exhausting. At a young age, it can be much easier to accomplish than an older rider. However, mountain biking is a sport that usually has to be given up with age, because it requires massive amounts of endurance and stamina.

With electric assistance, mountain biking can be enjoyed by riders of all ages. Use as little or as much electric assistance as you'd like. Electric mountain bikes are extremely helpful, not to mention a lot of fun. Check them out!
