This sleek-looking cruiser is as fun and cool as it looks, with a low-effort ride, a comfortable feel, useful integrated tech, and a throttle! A dozen years after entering the e-bike market with the original Townie Go!, Electra has introduced a new and improved version of the bike with some significant changes. In addition to
Pedaling is active but easy, thanks to the Townie Go!’s capable 500W hub motor and torque sensor. It dishes out plentiful power in response to rider effort.
The Townie has a relaxed and comfortable feel well suited for cruising. Its pedal-forward design complements its cushy saddle and curved handlebars.
It pairs with the Trek Central app, allowing users to tune the feel and power of the pedal assist system, get navigation, track ride data, and take advantage of battery life extension options.
The bike is paired with Trek’s EasyMag charger, a wall-mountable unit that connects effortlessly to the bike and displays the current charge level through a bar-based light ring.
The bike is loaded with great features, including a throttle, turn signals, a stem-integrated quad-lock phone mount, a chain guard, etc.
The bike’s 2.35”-wide tires smooth the ride and add stability and traction when on the move.
Looks are subjective, but it’s hard to argue that the Townie Go! expertly blends clean & contemporary design with the classic cruiser vibe. It also has fun color options we don’t often see elsewhere!
The battery is accessible by service technicians, but it can’t be removed for charging; you’ll need to bring the whole bike inside.
