WE'RE HUNGRY FOR E-BIKE BATTERIES!

When your battery reaches the end of its life, bring it to us! We’ll package it up safely and send it to The Battery Network (formerly Call2Recycle) where it will be broken down into base parts to be put back into the supply chain to manufacture new energy storage products in the future!

Recycling your used e-bike battery is an important part of being a responsible e-bike owner, so we make it easy for you to do. Our little friend Watts loves to eat batteries, so after a few good years of use, when your battery is having trouble holding a charge, has a reduced charged range, or requires a charge more often than usual, just bring it back to us and we’ll feed it to Watts!

We are a certified drop-off location for The Battery Network, the country's leading consumer battery recycling and stewardship program. We will safely ship your used battery so it can be recycled properly and avoid ending up in a landfill. Have a battery that needs to be recycled drop it off at either Howard Street shop Tuesday – Friday 10am-5pm, Saturday 10am-4pm, closed for lunch 1-1:30pm, or our shop in the Bok Building on Dudley Street Tuesday - Friday 10am - 5pm, Saturday 10am - 4pm.

The Riese & Muller Packster2 70 will make your life easier. You can transport up to three children, the family dog, or your weekly shopping in the permanently fitted box made of environmentally-friendly materials. Ride effortlessly around town, thanks to its small turning circle and low center of gravity.

The Packster2 70 is remarkably easy to handle – whether riding, parking, or getting on and off. Its cable-controlled steering ensures that you can manoeuver effortlessly in tight spaces, even when fully loaded. Speaking of which: you can additionally transport up to 59lbs on the rear carrier.

Meet the Kombi E5, designed principally for flat terrain riding but able to handle big cargo loads.

The Kombi E5 boasts a host of features. It's powered by Shimano's lightest E-bike system: the STEPS E5000 mid-drive motor and its 418 Wh battery. Key to riding safety is powerful braking, and the Shimano Alivio hydraulic disc brakes will inspire confidence in all conditions. What a Kombination!

The heart of this high-tech bike is the Yuba in-house designed chromoly-steel frame, featuring Yuba's proven Stay Steady Technology (found on ALL Yuba compact, mid-tail and long-tail bikes), that is stable, sturdy and built to last. You'll likely be riding it more than you use your car - and doing your part for a cleaner, healthier planet!

The Kombi E5 can handle up to 440lbs of cargo—personalize your ride with a great range of add-ons for hauling the kids, or gear, or for the daily ride to work - then surprise everyone by parking it vertically to save space!
