E-Bikes: The Ideal Graduation Gift

Spring graduations will soon be here, and, as always, parents, family members and friends are searching for unique and useful graduation gifts to help students transition to the next phase of life. Electric bicycles, or e-bikes, are ideal for high school or college students, since they offer a fun, efficient and affordable means of transportation to class or work.

“E-bikes are well-suited for anyone who commutes, whether it’s around a college campus or through town to work,” said Eric Hunger, president of ElectroBike Georgia, the Southeast’s largest retailer of e-bikes and accessories. “Electric bicycles are powered by rechargeable batteries, and some models even fold up for easy storage in a small space. They’re also great fun for trail rides or even running errands. Our Brookhaven showroom carries 16 different e-bike models, and is the perfect place to explore all things e-bike. Our Beltline store offers e-bike rentals, so people can try them out along the Atlanta Beltline and see for themselves how easy they are to operate and how much fun they are to ride.”

Electric bicycles can be ridden like traditional bikes, but with the flip of a switch they offer pedal assist or throttle power. There are a number of models available designed to accommodate everyone from the daily commuter to the weekend cyclist. ElectroBike Georgia’s flagship store is located in the Brighten Park Shopping Center near North Druid Hills Road and I-85 and offers accessories and e-bike models from the world’s premier manufacturers. The showroom is open Tuesday-Sunday for sales and service. The Beltline store is located on Sampson Street, and is open every day for sales and rentals.
