BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less.

The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

Bottom line
The Townie Go! 7D is an affordable option from a known brand, Electra (which is owned by Trek). This e-bike was well suited to urban cruising. By all accounts, the laid-back seating position and supple balloon tires delivered a smooth and comfortable ride. A hub-drive motor keeps the Townie affordable. The advertised range of 20 miles with the highest level of assist, was found to be accurate by reviewers. Up to 40 miles were on offer through the lowest level. A reliable, entry-level option.
