Sing The Bike Electric!



Greetings!

This month, you are cordially invited to come and check out a couple of new bikes that we've got over here at the Madison Bicycle Shop (currently both of them are in our windows to be exact).  The first one is a demo of Trek's unique Ride+ system.  A bit about that from Trek's website:

Ride+ is a bicycle with a motor and battery. It provides a boost to your own pedal power, so you can ride farther, faster, and with less effort. Trek Ride+ bikes are the best electric-assist models on the market, with quick, predictable, easy-to-control power and a long-lasting removable battery that recharges at any household outlet.

 

Electric, done better
Fly up hills. Scoff at the wind. Haul a heavy load. Take the long way home. And do it all without breaking a sweat, thanks to the smooth, exhilarating power of electric assist. Unbelievably fun, undeniably practical.

Convenience
Easily removable high-capacity battery can be recharged on or off the bike. A standard wall outlet is all you need.

Ease
Just engage the Trek Syn Drive, choose your level of assistance, and go. Pedal as much as you want, and the bike will assist you as much as you want.


Quiet power
High-performance Silent Drive brushless hub motor delivers smooth, consistent power.


Smooth control
Syn Drive is the best electric motor control system available. Smooth starts, controlled stops, and a clear, multi-function display.

 

This year Trek has simplified the lineup with the three most popular, most practical platforms:

The T80+


The T80+ Lowstep


And their very unique cargo bike the Transport+


Come on down and try out this amazing electric assist system for yourself.  You'll be SHOCKED... no no no AMAZED by how well it performs!

The other very cool bike we'd love to show you is the Pure...


ooooh!  Look at that!  The lowstep version is also available in three other colors...


...and there's also a regular version available in two.



The reason this bike looks like some kind of gnarly lowrider is...because it is!  If you notice how, in the pictures up there, the cranks and pedals are kinda in front of the wide and comfy saddle, it's that positioning that allows the rider to be seated while also confidently flat footed on the ground while at rest.  You then also have a pretty nifty, forward pedaling position while riding.  It's sort of like a beach cruiser...but better!  Come on down and try out a Pure today!

Thanks for stopping by!  Happy Trails to you!  

(oh and props to Walt Whitman for the inspiration behind the title to this month's post)
