Wanna be ebike owner Bay Area, California

[Srade3]

Hi, What good full suspension ebikes are recommended and available in the Santa Cruz/San Jose, California area? Most people I know are getting a Specialized Levio and I`vee seen a Trek Powerfly, but there doesn't seem to be much else around. Am I missing something.

I am a little old lady who has been an ok road biker and want to get on the trails without over taxing myself,

I'm in the area and I love my '19 Levo.

Try Bikes — Woodside Bike Shop
and Motostrano: Ebikes | Escooters | Eskateboards | Supermoto

I'm sure there are more in the south bay

In SC:

- The Bicycle Trip has Giant’s and Norco’s
- Epicenter has Trek Powerfly’s
- Scotts Valley Cycle Sport has Specialized and last I was there, a Pivot Shuttle on sale
- Bunch more around town..I haven’t been to Current eBikes but I see they have some other brands as well.

I went on a demo ride with current bikes in Santa Cruz and was blown away riding the sweet pivot shuttle. They had a special promotion and 0 % for 12 months. It was an easy decision as that bike rocks and Mike at current shop was extremely knowledgeable and no pressure.

It is possible to over do it even on the ebike. I went on an overly ambitious tour of steep rocky fire roads in marin and at hour 3 things got a little strained, fortunately there was enough battery left to turn up the assist. So depending on finances and projected use the larger battery in some models is a consideration

Btw. I own a 2019 Levo Comp Carbon and love it, purchases at Wheel Away
My wife bought a 2018 Focus JAM 2 Plus at Current E-bikes last fall at a great price.

I got my Raleigh Kodiak “used” from bicyclebluebook in San Jose, they have quite an impressive stock of bicycles and a few Ebikes! Also check Motostrano in S.F. where we got my wife’s Cube.

Current bikes in Santa Cruz has the Pivot Shuttle and others. Went on a shuttle demo ride and was very very impressed. The 0 down, 0 interest for 12 months made it an easy decision. All of the components are top notch and ride more than I ever had.
