Electra Townie Go!

What the Electra Townie Go! is built for

The Electra Townie Go! is a commuter e-bike, built for daily rides to work, errands and city streets.

It has a 500 W motor and 60 Nm of torque.

It carries a 520 Wh battery and a stated range of up to 50 miles (80 km) on a charge. Real-world range is usually lower than the rated figure: it falls with throttle use, hills, cold weather, rider weight and higher assist levels.

In the United States the Electra Townie Go! sells for $2,100, above the median of $1,700 across 311 commuter e-bikes with a US price, among the premium models. That is $4 per watt-hour of battery.

Where the Electra Townie Go! may be ridden

In the European Union and the United Kingdom an e-bike counts as a bicycle only within the pedelec limits; as specified, its 500 W motor is above the 250 W limit. A model above those limits is treated as a moped there, with type approval, registration and insurance, unless the brand sells a version set to the European limits.

Electra Townie Go! safety certification

The brand's listing for the Electra Townie Go! does not state a UL 2849 or EN 15194 certification. New York City allows only e-bikes certified to UL 2849 to be sold or rented there, and California requires certified batteries from 2026; ask the seller for the certificate before buying.
