There’s no doubt about it: E-bikes have taken over the surfing world. From Southern California’s Lowers or Huntington Beach to Florida’s New Smyrna Beach, you’re bound to see an army of e-bikes zooming around with surfboards in tow.
And it makes sense why: they’re easy to park, fun to use, and it’s good for the environment.
So if you haven’t already joined the E-bike movement in surfing, you’re probably wondering which brand to get started with.
We tested Electric Bike Company, a company born and bred in the USA, and learned not only do they have one of the most durable E-bikes today; they also have the most customizable E-bikes.
Here’s 5 things we loved about Electric Bike Company.
#1: Electric Bike Co's E-Bikes are affordable.
Let's start with the biggest question of all: how much is an Electric Bike Co going to cost you?
Well, it depends which company you choose.
Here's the good news: compared to other e-bike companies on the market today, Electric Bike Co's E-bikes are extremely affordable.
They offer four primary models: Models J, C, S & R that start around $1,499 — a much cheaper starting point than many of its competitors.

So, if you're looking to get an E-bike for utility, you can expect to pay around that price point. If you're looking to trick your E-bike out more, the add ons will up your price by a few hundred dollars.
I was expecting to pay $4-5,000 for an E-bike, and when I discovered that I could get everything I wanted in an E-bike for $2,000 with Electric Bike Co, I was not only surprised — I was sold. And you will be too!
#2: Electric Bike Co's E-bikes are insanely customizable.
Once you choose your model of choice, Electric Bike Co's website walks you through choosing every single facet of your e-bike, including the size, shape and specification of the following:
Frame
Chain guard
Wheel size
Rims
Fender
Seat post attachment
Grips
Seat
Trim
Handlebar style
and much much more

See? I wasn't lying when I said it was insanely customizable. You get to have a say in every single aspect of the bike.
Aside from the affordable cost, this customizable factor sets Electric Bike Co apart from other companies on the market today.
#3: Easy to set up
When the shipping truck pulled in front of my house, I imagined Electric Bike Co’s E-bike would come in several parts with a few hours of setup required, but this couldn’t have been further from the truth.
The E-bike was already put together, and all I had to do was set the handlebars and front wheel to my personal preference using tools they provided.
Not only do they provide you with setup tools; they also provide you with every imaginable tool you'll need, from tire sealant to extra screwdrivers and more.

From unboxing to zipping down the road on the E-bike, it wasn’t more than an hour. That’s alone makes Electric Bike Co’s product different from others on the market today — and worth your money.
#4: Electric Bike Co's E-bikes offer loads of add ons.
If you're looking to trick out your E-bike, whatever add you’re looking for, I promise you Electric Bike Co has it, including:
Surf Racks
Helmet
Anti theft alarm (how helpful is this?!)
Lock
Repair kit
Extended warranty
Seat mount for children
It doesn't get any better than that, right?
#5: Electric Bike Co's E-bikes are durable.
When you’re paying a few thousand dollars for an E-bike, let's be honest: you want it to be durable.
There's nothing that feels cheap on Electric Bike Co's product. Even the wheels look and feel like the most durable ones on the market.

Everywhere I've taken Electric Bike Co's E-bike: on the street, on the beach, through puddles, through traffic, it's stood up to the test.
But not only is the bike itself durable; the battery, despite consistent use, continues to hold its charge.
From affordability to durability, customizable features and more, we loved Electric Bike Co's E-bikes, and we know you will too. Get started customizing your E-bike today on their site.
