The Electra Townie Go! 7D E-Bike Review

What is the Electra Townie Go! 7D? 

The Townie Go! 7D is a popular and affordable e-bike option from a known brand, Electra (which is owned by Trek). This fun and colorful e-bike is well suited to urban cruising, with a laid-back seating position and supple balloon tires delivering a smooth and comfortable ride and a hub-drive motor keeps the Townie affordable. The advertised range of 20 miles with the highest level of assist was found to be just right for our riding adventures, but up to 40 miles were on offer through the lowest level. The Electra Townie Go! 7D is a reliable, entry-level option into the world of Class 1 pedal-assist  electric bikes.

What do we think?

We rode this e-bike to the beach, to the local park, to the store for some snacks, and just had fun around the neighborhood. With its electric pedal assist, we never had to work too hard, whether it was going over a bridge or pushing into a strong wind. With its easy to handle ride quality combined with a comfortable, upright riding position and flat-foot technology, where we could put out feet flat on the ground at stops, we always had fun and felt safe riding wherever we went. The range for the pedal-assist battery and motor was fine for all of our rides, and the bike looks like a standard bike with its smooth integration of the battery and motor.

Would we recommend this bike? Absolutely! This is bike is fun and easy to ride with good range and trouble-free pedal-assist. They come in many color and fit options and are perfect for any kind of ride short of something athletic-minded, there are road bikes, mountain bikes, and others that are better suited for the task. But if you just want to throw on your tennis shoes, a helmet and use a bike to go somewhere instead of hopping in a car, this bike is great.
