No idea. I looked around a little when I decided to get one and buying one local was still going to have to be ordered and shipped. You can get one through Walmart or Academy Sports, but you’re still ordering it. I decided on this one because it had fat tires, a beefy frame with luggage rack, fenders, a single rear derailer, a 750 watt motor, and good reviews on YouTube.
I bought mine through Amazon. |

They probably have over a Thousand bike shops or more in So.Cal And you can get good warranties that come with the bike. Not a whole lot to them. The batteries can last 7-10 years if you ride them all the time, 4-5 times a week. and they don't cost that much. Being from other states with crappy weather the batteries can last you a life time. Electric bikes? Japanese car dealerships in our state? The Midwest and South have always been 10-15 years behind the times. |

Trek builds e-bikes in the States with a lifetime (limited) warranty, but you'll pay between $4-10K for one. I bought a couple of "American-assembled" e-bikes a couple of years ago (meaning put together here from mostly Chinese components), and we're pretty happy with them so far, at a fraction of the cost of a Trek. Haven't had to be concerned about warranty so far.

If you mean assemblers of imported components, then yes. If you mean manufactured in the US, not that I’ve seen.

Trek has a $14k e-bike: https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/b...ode=black_grey I was going to get an e-bike until I started looking at prices. I may convert my old Trek Fuel 100 to electric, but it doesn’t have provisions for disc brakes. I ended up getting a motorcycle instead - brand new it was cheaper than the Trek Fuel EXe 9.9. |
