Electric Avenue Sports

This review is wildly overdue, about three years overdue, but I've been meaning to write it because…read moreEugene Electric Bicycles did such a great job on my bike. They converted my 2010 Marin mountain bike into an e-bike, and it was not a simple project. I have a small frame, wanted solid range, and needed it to work safely with a rear child seat. Alexander went back and forth with me for months figuring out what would actually work. We initially tried to make a triangle battery fit inside the frame. Once the real measurements came in, it was clear the manufacturer specs did not match reality and it just was not going to work. Instead of forcing it, Alexander pivoted. He found a rack with the right weight capacity and then custom-machined and reinforced it so it would be sturdy enough for both the battery and a kid seat. That attention to safety and detail mattered to me. Throughout the process he was thoughtful and straightforward about tradeoffs, timing, and cost. Nothing was oversold. When I had a quick issue after pickup, they replied to my email quickly and helped me troubleshoot it right away. Three years later, the bike has been completely reliable. The setup feels stable and balanced, and it has allowed me to keep riding in ways that really matter to me. If you are considering a conversion and want people who take safety and craftsmanship seriously, I would absolutely recommend Eugene Electric Bicycles.

The following is a recent situation I endured with this company…read more Eugene Electric Bike management, I had my E-Lectric bike in for a flat tire. I was given a quote of $60.00 to fix the tire. I was surprised how fast you fixed it, but the charge was $76.00! Although I was not thrilled with the response that there was an additional charge for a new inner tube, I decided to let it pass. Then I noticed my cell phone holder was missing. Your representative said they couldn't find it but would continue to look for the missing part. I had to buy another holder and sent you a text requesting a refund of the cost. Since the cost was $16.00 for anew holder and the difference in the cost of the bill and the estimate was $16.00, I would appreciate a refund of $16.00. Jack, The price you were quoted is the price you paid. The remainder of your phone holder is not at our shop. As you stated, it was a fast turnaround. Your ebike was in one area of the shop and nothing was removed from the handlbars. We are remiss that you lost your item at some point... But have no fault in this. You contacted us for a job, that job was done, that is all. Perhaps it would be best for you to take your ebike to another shop going forward. We wish you the best. V/r, Alexander Eugene Electric Bicycles Oh I will and your service will be noted when I rate you online. You might want to reconsider. Jack Your intent is noted. We simply do not have any role in your missing part of your phone mount. Better that we not have further correspondence as no good could come if it. Please do not message us again as we will not provide any further services for you. Still wish you the best of luck V/r, Alexander Eugene Electric Bicycles If this is how you treat a returning customer, I think others should know what a shoddy outfit you are!

I came in to check out one alt handlebar (Jones H Bar) and they had it in stock along with the other bar I was considering (Surley Moloko) so I got a good feel for both of them. They had a good price on both too. In a world of mega shops and online retailers, this is the kind of place really stands out, allowing the customer to check out equipment hands on and make better informed decisions. Edit to add: a couple things that this shop didn't have that made it a great place to shop; no high pressure, and no "hyper-masculine" attitude. I was able to look and check out items without someone peering over my shoulder, and a number of different folks came in and I noticed the staff was helpful to all of them. As to the lack of a hyper-masculine culture- well anyone who bikes a lot knows that biking, and bike shops tend to suffer from a certain culture- lots of talking of pace lines or peloton, shredding and scar comparison. They can also be dismissive of overweight and older people (such as myself) who might need, um... more robust equipment.... The staff treated this middle aged ultra Clyde as a serious rider which I really appreciated. This shop was very oriented to bikes as fun an and transportation, with gear that is useful to most people who want to get out and enjoy riding and commuting. They may have more specialized equipment as well but I wasn't looking for that and so can't speak to it. But if you are an avid rider looking for more comfortable handlebars or that perfect rack bag, they definitely are worth checking out. Got the bars and tape and very happy with my purchase!

I am an avid bike rider and commuter. I've owned lots of bikes. I'm a little older now and my bike…read morecommute is long so I now own a solid ebike. My husband and I really like the idea of flying with our bikes. We are frugal so we liked the idea of not having to pay for over sized luggage on airlines. We invested in a couple of BikeFriday's World Tourists. My husband's doesn't fit or ride like the one he tried in Eugene. My bike fits pretty well but it falls short in many other areas. First off don't invest in a Bikefriday e-bike. The e-bike system is a retro fit. It's not clean or streamlined and very much jerry rigged. If an e-bike is your end game just get the standard bike and take it to a reputable bike shop. Lots of bike mechanics can do a retrofit. The motor and battery are basically hanging off the stem and seat. I was told this design makes it easy for service and repairs but a good system and equipment shouldn't need repairs. The wires are running all externally and secured with spiral cable wrap. The spiral cable wrap is the plastic stuff used to secure cables under your computer. This stuff is not going to last. Don't buy the suitcase. It's horribly overpriced and very cheaply made. The suitcase is just a case. It is not retrofitted in anyway to secure the bikes in the case. That is done by wrapping and securing with pipe insulation and rubber bands. We've flown our bikes a couple of times and these cases are not going to last the regular wear and tear of travel and airports. One of the wheels on my husband's bike got bent during our last flight. Also don't buy the folding bike rack. It's $200 and doesn't even fit in the suitcase. Presently there are many great bike grips and extensions on the market. The climbing extension on the Bikefriday is low end and unnecessarily long. They are the old school, first generation climbing grips. I'd pass. I'm switching mine out. The bike colors and paint quality is amazing. I'm not saying don't buy a Bikefriday. All I'm saying is do your homework and know what you are getting. For a custom bike it's mediocre at best. Also it takes 30 minutes to assemble when you arrive and 30 minutes to repack.

Bike Friday in Eugene, Oregon offers a unique product:…read more Bikes with 20 inch wheels that rides like a bike with 26 inch wheels that packs inside a suitcase that does not generate oversize charges when checked into a flight . Despite spending a significant amount in treasure $$$, I enjoyed working with Walter to create a bike that I can bring with me when I travel to international or domestic locations that require travel by plane . Walter expertly guided me through what's available (parts, combination of parts that will or will not work together) for the specific performance and utility requirements I was ing for. I brought my 26 inch bike that I have been fitted for and ridden comfortably for over a decade to use as a template for building a Bike Friday bike that will fit my needs. I'm ing forward to getting my custom built bike in a couple of months. Update with photos to come.
