About Electric Bikes

What are they?

Electric bikes, also known as ebikes or e-bikes, are bicycles equipped with an electric motor and battery to assist with propulsion. One major factor to note, however: all electric bikes are not the same! Several factors contribute to performance, reliability and comfort, which can have a negative effect on the rider experience. Napa Valley eBikes offer premium quality electric bikes with outstanding reliability and longer mileage ranges. 

Combined with traditional bike features like gear shifters and Shimano components, our ebikes allow the rider to choose their level of physical effort while traveling a further distance in a shorter period of time. Our electric bikes from Sondors come in a variety of sizes to fit most riders, and all offer pedal-assist capabilities with 5 different power levels and a thumb throttle for true pedal-free riding! They level the playing field between advanced and beginner riders, add distance to any ride and make hills a breeze. As we like to say here at Napa Valley eBikes, twice the fun with half the effort!

Why ride them?

Maintaining a physically active lifestyle is a proven way to help keep the mind and body healthy. While your ebike provides effortless propulsion as long as you need a break, it can still operate like a regular bike and provide a considerable challenge and workout. Avoid the hassle of Napa Valley traffic and parking, especially on weekends. Explore charming towns like Yountville and St Helena from a completely different perspective and at your own pace. Ebiking is one of the best things to do in Napa, as there are so many beautiful sights, world class wineries and eateries, and trails to get you there! Napa Valley eBikes will help tailor a custom ride for your group, and provide everything you need to enjoy a day riding in the valley. From experiencing some of Napa’s “hidden spots” to riding alongside the famous Napa Wine Train, there are no limits to the itineraries we can help you set up. Your ride is sure to be a highlight of your vacation in Napa Valley! Book your adventure:
