Ponto Go! Range Test: Results Will Be Awesome
One of the most common questions we hear is, “hey, how far can that e-bike go?” It’s a fair thing to ask. Although, it’s not as black and white as one might think when it comes to battery capacity and range. That is why I, Ben from Electra, took a stab at answering the question for myself with our brand-new Ponto Go! I’ve spent quite a bit of time on this Class 2 (that means throttle) and Class 3 (that means pedal-assistance over 20mph) e-bike in the past year, but

There comes a time for trading in your beach cruiser and taco shop for a sleeker, more nimble ride and a pastrami sammy from the corner bodega. Places like NYC, Seattle, and Chicago, and the people that live there, were the inspiration behind the Loft®.

Polynesia is a collection of more than 1,000 islands that covers the south-central Pacific Ocean. Lava fields, dense tropical forests, and epic crushing waves are just a few attributes that define these stunning islands. They also happen to be the birthplace of surfing. The ancient Polynesians would carve boards out of the island trees and take to the swells. It only seems fitting for us to pay homage to this great culture, given our surfing heritage.

It’s been proven that taking a ride around the block on an Electra tends to give us adults that “I’m-a-kid-again” feeling. That’s because we’ve learned a lot from our kiddos on how to really enjoy life on two wheels. To give back to the kids, we introduced the Sprocket back in 2018. Since then, we’ve introduced different colors in both 16” and 20” that are as vibrant and fun as our little riders. This year, we’re taking things to the next level with Artist Series Sprockets.

Electra Bells, Electra Bells
While this might be the season for Silver Bells, the season for Electra Bells lasts all year long. Over the summer, we introduced new bells to our collection like Love-Ocado and Tiki Time, but we also kept an elite crew of best sellers. Yes, yes, Cool Cat is still around. *queue sigh of relief* Although it’s the food-centric, animal-loving, and overall adorable graphics that we get super excited about, we’d be remiss to not acknowledge the addition of a few new bell types.

The Electra Holiday Décor Tour
Out of the weirdness of 2020, one good thing to happen this year is that we all upped our crafting game. We’re talking candle making, homemade tie-dye, knitting… What are we most stoked about? The high level commitment and extra dedication to holiday decorations. From what we’ve seen so far, it’s safe to say we all just needed a little extra cheer. Jumbo wreaths to light shows and everything in between, our neighborhoods have never been more ready for Santa.

Give Thanks to Your Two-Wheeled Ride
There’s no doubt that the MVP of the Year award goes to our two-wheeled BFFs. Our bikes, old or new, have been by our side and encouraged us to get out and stay active during this whirlwind of a year. Whether it’s a few laps around the hood, or a ride to the outskirts of town, they’ve become an escape and a reason to smile from coast to coast. So, in the spirit of giving, it’s time we say, “thank you” to our bikes.
