Our Ebikes

Our Backroad Adventures guides ride top brand ebikes designed with comfort, safety, and practicality in mind. We use both Rad Power Bikes and Velotric ebikes and firmly believe the set up of the bike is as important for enjoying the ride as well as the scenery.

If you are thinking about buying an ebike, we’d be happy to make recommendations, help you pick out the right bike for you, and customized it for your particular needs.

For example, our ebikes:

• Are modified for maximum comfort and safety. Our bikes have big comfy seats, suspension seat posts, front fork suspension, raised handlebars, and a side handlebar mirror.

• Have 750 watt rear hub motors that power you up the big hills of Leelanau County.

• Are Class 2 ebikes, which means in addition to pedal assist, you have the option of using a throttle to boost you up steep inclines or help you get started. Class 2 ebikes max out at 20 mph.

• Have 8 gears and all other features of a normal pedal bike.

• Are equipped with a rear rack bag to use for extra layers, personal items, water, phone, and keys.

• Come with integrated lights provide high visibility for safe riding on the road.

• Have wider knobby tires. They are safer, cushier, and more stable on pavement or gravel. We ride both fat tire ebikes (with 4 inch tires) and hybrid ebikes (with 2.6 inch tires).

Whether exploring hidden trails or cruising through towns, our modified ebikes provide a smooth, safe, and comfortable ride—making every adventure more enjoyable. Let us know if you want to discuss how to find or modify an ebike to fit your needs and preferences.
