I’d like to remind you that we have electric bikes. I currently have the GoExpress and the GoCruiser in stock. The GoExpress goes up to 20 mph and  is made for the urban commuter and weekend adventurer because you can combine city cruising and all-terrain riding. It will travel up to 36 miles with peddle assist or 18 miles on just electric.

Both bikes have a 750 W hub motor, are 48 volt, 10 Ah and take 5 hours to fully charge.

The GoCruiser is perfect for all your getaway needs, it also goes up to 20 mph and travels the same distance as the GoExpress. The GoCruiser is designed for comfort and is easy to get on and off due to its step through frame, made of 6061 aluminum alloy. This bike is our lowest height model and is extremely versatile with different modes to select from such as pedal assist, electric throttle, manual pedal or walk mode.  Both bikes also have fat tires, the GoExpress has a knobbier, more aggressive tire than the GoCruiser. Both bikes fold in half for easy transporting and storing.

I want to let you know that we will be signing up with the Department of Revenue to participate in the electric bike rebate program. From what I have read bike shops can sign up starting May 1, 2024, and then on June 5th people can start applying for the rebate through the Department of Revenue web site. Once you get your voucher or rebate (which is good for up to two months), bring it with you when you want to purchase a bike. We write the whiz ticket for the bike along with any tax and then apply your rebate. Rebates can be anywhere from a couple of hundred dollars up to $1,500 depending on your income.

If you’re in the market for a water heater, I have a great selection in stock. Check out the sale ad to see what is available.

Building or remodeling and need several items? Remember to ask about our bundling deals. The more you buy, the more you save. and for those of you who would like to spread your payments out we offer 90 days, or a 1-2- or 3-year contract. These options require at least a 20% down payment. You could pay more if you chose. If you’re interested in a contract the only stipulation is that you are current on your account and have been for 3 months in a row. How long of a contract depends on how much it is. I can spread it out if the monthly payment  doesn’t go below $20.

And yes, electric bikes can go on a contract same as appliances.
