The e-bikes and e-scooters will be available to the entire Kent community. Now I ride mostly for recreation/activity (health), and when possible I commute. I note all this though to show that I am not only a “bike-friendly” person, but support non-motorized vehicle use; in fact, I wish we’d get more support, tolerance, etc., because it is prudent if not environmentally smart.
If you’re looking for an inexpensive ebike for casual weekend rides, the Kent Electric Cruiser demands consideration. The price means that it lacks some of the advanced features of many electric models, and even more basic ones like quick release, but it looks great and rides well.

From giving me a good price to loaning me a e-bike to delivering to my doorstep….and even a follow up service two months after delivery.

It can help your kids ride even longer, extending that family Sunday ride even further than 15 miles (25 km).
