5 reasons why an E-Bike makes the perfect Christmas gift

Functional, fashionable and fun, these bikes are a joy to ride

In the 16 years that Bella Huang has lived in Canada, she has noticed a change in the weather. 

"Every year, we're getting stranger weather, which is a direct result of climate change," she says.

She was inspired to start her business, Victorian EBike, to promote healthier commuting options that are better for the environment. The locally-owned and operated business is located on Byrne road, and even offers online sales. 

"It's my responsibility as a Canadian to protect our environment. I had my kids here, and I want to make Canada better for them. And we can all help by doing little things," she says.

"Our mission is to get people to go green. We aren't just selling e-bikes, we are doing something for society." 

Huang worked in the e-bike industry for two years prior to opening Victorian EBike, which has been in business for just over one year now, opening initially only to sell various brands of e-bikes. After selling hundreds of bicycles and seeing what works and doesn't, Huang decided to launch their own in-house brand. 

"We have industry experience, so we upgraded all the parts to our own brand, making them more premium," Huang says. 

What makes Victorian EBike so good? Here are five reasons why these e-bikes should be at the top of your Christmas list this year. 

1. Safety comes first

"Safety is always the first concern for us," Huang says.

Bikes at Victorian EBike have all been upgraded to hydraulic brakes from traditional cable brakes. The hydraulic brakes are longer lasting and less prone to breakage.

Huang also took into account the roughness of Canadian roads, providing thicker, puncture-resistant tires. This means you're less likely to get a flat or spin out of control when faced with rough roads.

2. Premium features

High-quality name-brand batteries such as Panasonic and Samsung are used to make the battery last longer and provide 55 to 65 kilometres of range per charge. 

Upgraded foam cushion seats provide extra comfort, and high-quality pedals ensure a smooth ride. 

The e-bikes are also designed to look more fashionable, with integrated rims that catch people's eyes.

3. Ongoing support

Victorian EBike provides unmatched after-care service and complete warranty service.

You’ll get a personal saddle fitting before you even purchase your bike, and, a free yearly check-up with a professional bike technician once you do.

“We want to make sure your bike is in good condition to ride, and it’s as safe as possible,” Huang says. 

If you need repair work done to your bike, Victorian EBike will offer you a complimentary replacement bike to ride until yours is returned.

4. Reasonably priced

Prices for e-bikes at Victorian EBike range from $1,300 to $2,700, which is a bargain compared to similar products on the market. 

"They look, drive and feel very expensive, but we make them more affordable without sacrificing quality because we want more people to ride e-bikes to reduce carbon emissions and help the environment," Huang says. 

"We guarantee the quality is the same as similar products. We always guarantee quality. If there's any problem with the bike, our customers can always bring them back."

Keep your eyes peeled for an upcoming Black Friday sale, which will provide a discount on the already well-priced bikes.

5. Lots of style options

Find the e-bike that's perfect for you in a variety of colours and sizes. Victorian EBike makes it easy to find what you’re looking for, so you never have to compromise on style.

The company is also working on upcoming designer collaborations and customization options to offer even more styles to choose from.

Now is the right time to snag that perfect Christmas gift for a loved one. Huang recommends ordering before Nov. 25 to ensure the present is ready to be under the tree come Christmas morning.
