About Us

Kilowatt does not make race bikes. There are plenty of brands out there chasing the peloton and the podium, designing bikes for people with 4% body fat and a max heart rate of 200. But for most of us, biking is a way to get from A to B, to engage the world around us, and to relax. Kilowatt makes bikes for people who want to reduce their carbon footprint and focus on convenience, health and happiness.

Traffic, expensive gas, parking, maintenance, frustration. The average commute in the US is 5 miles or less. Kilowatt makes these 5 miles the best part of your day with a ride that requires little effort, no gas, and no parking. Ride door to door, save time and eliminate frustration.

 With just a few turns of the pedals, our electric bikes help you get fresh air and move enough to stimulate your body. With different assist modes, BionX motors also accommodate those days when you want to get a more robust workout.

Kilowatt reduces your energy consumption to a tiny fraction of what you use in a car. Save money, save time, and arrive at your destination happy. We know that we can’t replace cars completely (yet), but incorporating Kilowatt into your life means less time behind the wheel, less time at the pump, a much smaller impact on the environment, and a healthier body.

• What is a Kilowatt Bike? We build electrically assisted bikes that aren’t that different from a conventional bike, but assist riders automatically or on-demand. We build our bikes to the highest standards using the best components. But we also believe in some flash to go with our dash. If you are looking for a great looking e-Bike that’s built to last, look no further.
• How far will it go? Typical range on a full battery charge is 50 miles, depending on winds, hills and rider’s weight. Because the battery is easy to remove and charge inside your house, it’s easy to keep near a full charge. If you can keep your mobile phone charged, you can keep this bike moving.
• How can I get more range out of a charge? Factors that can limit the battery range include rider and cargo weight, stop-and-go riding, winds, steepness of hills. How much does it cost to charge? The Lithium Magnesium battery costs less than 10 cents in electricity to charge fully.
• How do I take care of it? We recommend taking your bike to any local dealer for normal maintenance. For problems with the motor or battery, contact us to find a dealer near you to repair these components.
• What happens if battery charge runs out? Even without the battery, you can still pedal your Kilowatt Bike like a normal bike.
• Do I need a license for this thing? Rules and regulations regarding use of light electric vehicles vary from state to state. Check with your local department of motor vehicles, but generally speaking, no license is required, and any Kilowatt Bike will be A-OK for adult riders.
• Can I ride a Kilowatt Bike in the rain or through water? Sure, but when you are charging your battery, remove it from the bike, dry it off and charge it inside and away from the elements for safety sake.
• Anything I need to know about storing a bike for winter? Store it as you would any other bike, but make sure the battery is fully charged. When spring comes, dust it off and charge it up. You’ll be rolling again quickly.
