Electric pedal-assist motor. The Electric Metro Bike is powered by a mid-drive pedal-assist motor capable of speeds up to 17 mph with an electric “boost." This is perfect for climbing hills, shortening your commute, or just covering more ground!
Easy-to-find power button. Turn on the electric assist by pressing the power button on the display located on the handlebars. Make sure the bike is at a standstill before you press the power button, or else it won’t turn on! When you’re finished riding, return the bike to a station by giving it a firm push into the dock, and you're good to go!
Safety Tips
Just like Classic Metro Bikes, you’ll want to follow the rules of the road. The Electric Metro Bike is a pedal-assist electric bicycle and can reach speeds up to 17mph with assistance. The motor only engages when you pedal. You and others on the road may be surprised by how fast the electric bike can go, so be mindful of your speed and surroundings. Higher speed increases the risk of a crash. Warning: if you are in a crash, you could be injured or killed.
Always wear a helmet. People under 18 are required to wear one by law. For more tips, check out our Riding Tips.
