Free e-bike test rides run right onto the segregated Northern Cycle Network metres from the door at this specialist electric bike shop. The Albany branch focuses entirely on electric bikes, stocking models for commuting, trails, and mountain biking alongside brands like Smartmotion and Aventon. Because motor power and frame geometry behave differently once an electric motor engages, testing on a dedicated track gives a realistic feel for hill assist and handling before committing. On-site staff handle bike fittings, servicing, and general repairs, including installing new brakes and rotors or sorting bike rack compatibility issues.
Customers frequently praise the unhurried, patient guidance when matching bikes to cautious or first-time riders, highlighting objective advice and fair rates on servicing and parts. It sits in Northridge Plaza on Don McKinnon Drive in Albany, open from 10 am to 5 pm Monday to Friday and 10 am to 3 pm on weekends, with card and digital payments accepted. Our pick on the North Shore for trying an electric bike on a proper cycleway before you buy.
