May 21, 2025 - (Encinitas, CA) Focused on making fun bikes that people can’t wait to ride, Electra Bicycle Company has unveiled their reimagined Townie Go!. Preserving the comfort of Flat Foot Technology® while living up to its legacy as the e-bike for everyone, this throttle and pedal-assist model was thoughtfully crafted to make saying “yes” to a bike ride as easy as possible.
Shopping for a bike can be intimidating. Add the complexity and variety of e-systems, and it gets even more confusing. There is an overwhelming number of electric bikes and brands available these days and it can be hard to separate good from better and best. For customers to make a smart decision and solid investment, there is a lot to understand from battery capacity to accessory integration to serviceability.
Electra has designed the most comfortable, best looking and highest quality electric bike, all for the extremely approachable price of $1,999.99 US/$2,849.99 CDN. Atop the Townie Go!, riders will feel comfortable, confident and in control. The brand’s signature Flat Foot Technology® is integrated into the new universal frame design, providing an upright and ergonomic riding position.
A custom e-system, complete with a 500W hub motor, 520Wh battery, easy-to-use color display and industry-leading magnetic charger, gives riders confidence in a quality e- system. Lastly, throttle and pedal assist put riders in control of their adventure. For added safety, the Townie Go! features hydraulic disc brakes along with a brake light and turn indicators, giving riders a way to communicate with others on the road.
Of equal importance, Townie Go! features key integrations to maximize every ride. Starting with the MIK HD and side systems which allow riders to easily add a child seat or side panniers for extra cargo. The Quad Lock® mount at the center of the cockpit allows simple smart phone viewing. This is particularly helpful when utilizing the Trek Central app for navigation, etc.
“Electra has built a great reputation over 30 years for a few things… one is comfort, another is style and the last is exceptional quality,” said Kevin Cox, president of Electra Bicycle Company. “Townie Go! builds on this foundation as we deliver a truly enjoyable electric bike that can be quickly and easily serviced by your local Electra retailer. A powerful throttle-assist, quality components, and thoughtful accessory integration means we’ve thought through the details so our customers can get straight to the good stuff – riding.”
Townie Go! meets the stringent, third-party UL 2849 certification, which evaluates the entire electrical system of an e-bike (battery, charger and motor). Available in two sizes, two ride styles – Class 2 & Class 3 (USA only) – and four colors, riders can shop for their perfect Townie Go! online or at one of our authorized retailers across the country.
