Electric bikes ship free to Edmonton, Alberta: order any bike in the grid and we deliver it to your home or to an Edmonton bike shop you choose for assembly. The list holds every e-bike in our store, grouped by brand. If you plan to keep riding after the snow comes, start with fat tire e-bikes and our fat tire winter guide.
From Environment Canada's 1991–2020 climate normals:
Health Canada advises bringing lithium-ion batteries to room temperature before use and not charging them in below-zero temperatures, so a pack you can remove and carry inside is worth having. The Velotric Nomad 2 has a removable 706 Wh battery, 26 x 4.0 in Kenda puncture-resistant fat tires, a 100 mm RST hydraulic fork and a step-thru or high-step frame.
City-wide, Edmonton counts over 160 km of shared pathways and shared trails. In the river valley, paved trails are 2.5 to 3 m wide asphalt and the rest are granular, with rough gravel; the City's trail maps show trail slope or grade. The 100 Street Funicular links downtown with the river valley, carrying bikes from the top of the bank down to the promenade, and the stairs beside it have a bike rail.
Each active pathway has a priority: Priority 1 is cleared within 24 hours, Priority 2 within 3 days and Priority 3 within 14 days. The Priority 1 pathways form the City's Winter Priority Loop, with 3 bridges, river valley trails and a staircase. Gravel trails stay in their natural state all winter.
The Maple Leaf, from National Defence, lists snow and loose gravel among the surfaces where fat tires offer excellent traction. The Himiway D5 2.0 ST pairs 26 x 4.0 in Maxxis Minion FBF/FBR fat tires with an RST Guide-26 fork (100 mm), a 130 mm rear spring shock, a torque sensor and a step-through frame. The Taubik Westridge 4T Off Road runs 26 x 4.8 in Maxxis Minion fat tires, with a 960 Wh battery. Compare full-suspension e-bikes or step-through e-bikes.
Shipping is free across Canada. Once your order is confirmed, processing takes 1–3 business days and transit 2–7 business days, depending on where you are located. Each package is insured and must be signed for. We sell online only, so there's no pickup: we deliver to your address or to a local bike shop you choose for assembly. See our Alberta e-bike rules, or browse all our e-bikes. Other Alberta city pages: Red Deer and Calgary.
Yes, and shipping is free, to Edmonton and everywhere else we ship in Canada. We deliver to your home or to a local bike shop you choose and book for assembly. Every package is insured and someone has to sign for it. We don't ship to P.O. boxes.
Plan on 1–3 business days for us to process the order, then 2–7 business days in transit depending on where you are located. You get an email with a tracking number once it has been processed. Tracking can sit without a new scan for up to 5 days on a long cross-country trip; that is normal.
No. We sell online only, so there's no showroom, no test ride and no pickup in Edmonton. Use the specs on our product pages to compare bikes: battery size, tires, suspension and gears. If you'd like a mechanic involved from day one, have the bike shipped to a bike shop you choose for assembly.
Look for fat tires and a battery you can bring indoors. Edmonton's airport station averages 145.1 days a year with snow on the ground (Environment Canada, 1991–2020), and Health Canada says not to charge lithium-ion batteries in below-zero temperatures. The Velotric Nomad 2 has 26 x 4.0 in fat tires and a removable 706 Wh battery.
Some of them. The City clears its Winter Priority Loop, with 3 bridges, river valley trails and a staircase, within 24 hours. Other paved river valley trails are cleared within 72 hours of a snowfall, once 2.5 cm has built up, and gravel trails are kept in their natural state during winter.
