About this bike

We do things differently

Designed for Everyday needs from the ground up. The not-so Every Day bike for Everyday.

Chromoly Steel

Steel offers the best intersection between a smooth ride and long-lasting durability that even your grandkids will appreciate.

Thru Axle Fork

A solid front wheel attachment that keeps your braking, steering, and control consistent around every turn.

Hydraulic Disc Brakes

Hydraulic brakes offer more power for braking and self-adjust to keep your brakes powerful as the pads wear.

Electric Assist

We partner with Shimano to offer the best electric assist that allows you to ride further, faster, and carry as much as you’d like. Learn more about the Shimano STEPS EP8 system here.

Upright Geometry

Our Geometry is designed to keep you upright so you have full visibility of the road ahead. Cruiser-style handlebars with Ergon grips keep your hands, wrists, and arms supported and comfortable.

Built in Pannier Rail

A built in pannier rail on the rear rack of all our bikes lets you carry our Everyday BikePack or BYOB (Bring your own bag).

PorterRack Compatible

Xtra storage up front to carry more cargo. The trunk when your backseat is full.

Light Weight One-Piece Rack

Lightweight one-piece rack for low weight but high rigidity. Keeps your load stable and has a spring-like top for Xtra comfort. It also allows you the freedom to position your kids’ seat(s) wherever you want.

Full Metal Fenders

Full metal fenders with Xtra-strong mounting points to keep you dry in all conditions. Wide and tough. Built for everyday use.

Premium Front and Rear Lights

Front and rear lights wired into your ebike battery to make sure you always have lights available no matter how long you ride. We even mount the front light on the fender for enhanced visibility for the road ahead.

Individually Numbered

Every bike we make is handmade with the utmost care and precision. We’ve added a stamped aluminum badge to the top tube of each of our bikes that showcases your individual serial number for easy reference and a reminder that your Xtracycle is as unique as you are.
