What is an E-Bike?

Visit Diamond Peak for a Test Ride on a Road or Mountain E-Bike!

It’s not a motor cycle, but it is more than a bicycle.  It lets you go further, go faster and keep up with friends on the road or trail because it assists you when you need it.  A top speed of 20 mph allows trail use.  It is just plain fun!

Sometimes you’ll ride for fun, sometimes you’ll ride for fitness, and sometimes you’ll ride just to get from A to B. No matter how you spend time in the saddle, e-bikes offer unique solutions to the challenges of any ride. These bikes are all about possibility.

On- or off-road, they’re perfect for those who want to climb faster, explore more, or just get there a bit faster.

Only e-bikes offer the flexibility to get in a workout, ride with a faster friend, haul a heavy load, or simply cruise. Even if your ride varies from day to day, an electric bicycle always gives you the option to do and experience more.

How’s the ride?   Trek e-bikes simply amplify your pedaling effort. They pedal like a regular bike, but the wind is always at your back and hills melt away.

What’s the range?  General range is 20-100 miles, based on power mode, terrain, and other riding conditions.

Need to charge?  Simply plug into a standard wall outlet and allow 3-5 hours to charge a depleted battery.

Need service?  Maintenance is generally the same as any other bicycle. The battery is temperature sensitive, so store it indoors when temps reach extremes.
