At 77 years old, this bike is just as much fun as my first Triumph.
Thanks to both of you, it's even better than I expected. You know, older individuals typically don’t buy impulsively, but my instincts were correct this time.
I couldn’t be happier with it.
I did take a Uber to Destination Cycle today and drove my bike home. The front fender is right on, the bike is crazy cool. You did what you said would be difficult. You would not believe the reaction I got from people in vehicles passing by, people walking on the street, thumbs up, honking horns In approval , the stares and turning heads as I zip by or they drive by me.
Wow ! Did I say Wow? Golfers on the tee box stopping in their tracks and all four in unison pointing and following with their heads and eyes following the bike. It was crazy cool. I am 73 it’s my first ride on a e-bike. Very stimulating for this brain. I have it in my foyer and that will be its home. I have a 7 car garage but it deserves the best . Love it.
Thanks,

I had seen an ad in Hagerty magazine and was entranced by the first view of a Roadster. I ended up cutting out the page and left it within easy view. I did some research and the more I read and looked at the more convinced I was that I wanted one. I decided on a Scrambler 72 volt. I had to wait awhile for the build, but it was worth the wait. It came exactly the way I ordered it. My Dad was a machinist and was an artist in his work. He would have appreciated all the detail in the work on this bike, and the solidness. Stuff that he built will long outlast me. He gave me an eye for good builds and I recognize it all over this bike. I ride a regular pedal bike in the Catskill mountains of NY. Now I can ride with a much more extended range. It amounts to an adventure on each ride. That in itself is worth the price spent on this bike.
I just can't believe this bike is even better than I could have imagined. I did the research and saw Jay Leno driving one and I was hooked. So well built, so well designed, so much fun. You simply cannot do any better than this. These guys are for real and they deliver the goods. So happy.
I’ve been wrestling with taking the plunge to buy a Scrambler for a long time and finally went ahead. I couldn’t be happier! The on and off road capability has been fantastic and I can’t stop riding! Eddie and Corey have been great and very attentive. I’m looking forward to many years of riding my Scrambler!!
My wife and I purchased two and what a great experience. We take him down to Monterey and ride along the coast. The bikes are so quiet and built extremely well. We always get excited for a next ride. Thank you so much.
After years of thinking (dreaming) about getting a roadster of my own, on my 68th birthday I finally took the plunge and Ive never looked back. I’ve ridden several popular e-bikes over the past 5 years and even built my own but NOTHING compares.
The fit, finish and attention to the most minute detail are second to none.
Eddie listened to my ideas and made my Vintage roadster a bespoke masterpiece. I also had the pleasure of meeting and taking delivery of my dream from Andrew, the mastermind behind these amazing bikes.
Thanks Guys!
You’re awesome.
The best customer service on the planet. They upgraded my Roadster to 72 volts after a couple of years and have provided outstanding service ensuring my bike is at its best. They are really focused on building a great bike that lasts. All I
Can say is wow.
This is our second bike! The first one has over 5000 miles on it and still going strong. Loving the updated battery and range on the new bike and even the updated kickstand is an improvement!
We now have 2 Vintage e-bikes; one bought from the store in Santa Clara and another bought second hand. They were very helpful in the store, let us ride the demo bikes, and were great to discuss different buying options. They will even did service on the bike I bought used, replacing some of the parts and making sure everything was in working order. When we began looking at e-bikes, we found they all looked so mundane that nothing really struck our interest. Vintage bikes are fun to ride, useful, and good-looking.
Can't say enough about these bikes. The aesthetics speak for themselves. The build quality of these bikes is incredible in the era of cheap ebikes from abroad. I have 7 ebikes in my household and honestly... Unless I'm doing serious mountain biking, I always take one of the VEBs. Started with a 72V throttle roadster and now a pedal assist Rally. Couldn't be happier with both. I told Eddie to teach our when he builds a bike tailored for smaller riders and I'll be getting one for the wife too. They are a little spendy but you get what you pay for! Just do it!
My Cafe is the bike that I should have gotten first. Excellent customer relations!
Eddy and Cory gave me an awesome buying experience with vintage E bikes, I just had my knee replacement surgery and I previously was riding a standard beach cruiser my neighborhood, I knew I wanted to buy something easier on my knees so I started researching E bikes and vintage E bikes by far is the most reliable, best looking, and most comfortable to ride; and it also looks more like a standard beach cruiser type That I’m used to. I highly recommend if you ever have knee replacement surgery, this is the bike to buy.
Actually, whatever your reason for looking into an electric bike, this is the way I would go….. I’m incredibly happy with my purchase and looking forward to years of use riding my Vintage Classic E Bike.
Eddie and staff provided awesome customer service and available to answer any questions I had regarding my purchase. I was so impressed with the quality of the of the bike that I just had to purchase another!!! Bravo Vintage!!!
I’ve had three Vintage Electric Trackers across the last 5.5 years and there’s a reason I keep coming back - it’s truly a bike you turn around and look back at (particularly when adding a side car for your two year old!), the performance is fantastic, and it strikes a great balance between a bike and a light motorcycle given its speed capabilities. Additionally, I’ve become loyal to the folks at Vintage Electric - Eddie, Corey and others have been superb in their willingness to answer my many questions and recommend adjustments. I’m proud to be an owner and I take every chance I can to promote the good things in life, of which this is one.
Whenever I used to come back from a ride at night, I used to tell me wife, “When I have a bad day, remind me to take the bike out.” That’s the liberating effect it has.
Thanks for bringing me so much joy, guys.
I figure waiting a few extra weeks for something that I will own for the rest of my life isn't a problem. I'm doing just fine right now riding my 48 volt Roadster. 3900 trouble free miles in 10 months. We still have some days suitable for riding out here in Buffalo, NY. If the temperature is above 40 degrees and dry, I'm on the road. The new bike won't see any winter use. I have had people ask to see a picture of my new machine, but I am waiting to show them it when I have one the way I ordered mine with all the added black.
Lastly, I just wanted to mention how grateful I am that I discovered Vintage Electric Bikes. They are the best, even life changing. It's been many many years since I have been this happy. It's just so great that they helped me to rediscover my passion for 2 wheels. I never would have thought a year ago that I would own 1 much less 2 of these fine machines. I am so glad to be fortunate enough to be able to do so. I'm sure that some people around me don't quite understand my extreme passion, but all I know is that I'm the one having all the fun.☺
Thanks for listening
Dan.
P.S.: You know what they say, "When you find your passion, just roll with it." 🚴
I’ve been biking to work for nearly a decade with a round trip anywhere from 25-35 miles. I needed a bike that could handle the rough roads of LA as well as a 2000 ft. elevation gain. I’d ridden quite a few e-bikes but was completely impressed with the Vintage’s ride. It’s durable, solid, fast and an amazing battery. With nearly 6000 miles on it still holds a full charge. Love this bike!
I recently purchased a vintage electric bike, and it turned out to be an exciting and ultimately satisfying experience! Here's my detailed review based on my journey so far:
Design and Aesthetic
The design of the bike is simply stunning. It exudes a retro vibe that is unmatched, setting it apart with its classic yet stylish look. The craftsmanship reflects a perfect balance of vintage charm and modern elegance, making it a real head-turner every time I ride it.
Performance
The performance of my vintage electric bike has been nothing short of excellent. Since receiving it, I've already ridden about 500 miles, and it continues to deliver a smooth, reliable ride. The motor provides seamless acceleration, and the bike handles beautifully in various environments, from city streets to countryside roads.
Initial Challenges
Initially, I faced some challenges regarding communication and shipping timelines, which were a bit concerning. However, the team worked diligently to resolve these issues. Eddie, in particular, was exceptional in ensuring I was updated about the shipment details. His attentiveness and prompt responses to my questions and emails made a significant difference.
After-Sales Experience
Post-delivery, my experience has been outstanding. The bike arrived in pristine condition, exactly as described. The company’s commitment to customer satisfaction is evident, and they have definitely earned my trust and future business.
Overall Satisfaction
Owning this vintage electric bike has been an amazing experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in combining style with eco-friendly transport. Its superb performance, retro look, and the dedicated customer service team make it a worthy investment. I am even considering purchasing another one in the future!
Rating: 5/5 Stars
To say that I am pleased with my Vintage Electric bike would be an understatement. But it's not just about the bike, which you can read about and see on YouTube videos. The company behind it is just as impressive and I've had a great experience starting with the inquiring about specs, placing the order, and support with receiving the bike to make sure it was exactly as I wanted it.
This is my second bike from Vintage Electric, my first, the Cafe style, was wrecked in a car accident! That said, the 72 Volt Roadster has been the BEST possible replacement. It is my daily commuter bike; I live in mid-city Los Angeles, and this bike has proven to be the best way to get around. I ride it on average 17 miles a day, 4 days a week, and it has been the BEST investment I could have made. My Roadster is my transportation, it is fast, cool, reliable, comfortable, and gorgeous. The service team is incredible, the sales team (Eddie), fantastic, and I cannot imagine myself without this bike. Thanks to Vintage Electric for such an incredible and beautiful bike. Could not be happier.
Hi Eddie- love the bike and its abundance of power. It’s been a bit warm for much riding in LV, but looks like fall has finally arrived. The range is amazing. My first real ride was on the 26 mile loop trail at Lake Mead. I finished the ride and still has 3 bars left on the battery gage. Not sure what that means in terms of remaining distance, but would be nervous about that length of ride, which has a lot of terrain, on many other E-bikes.
Last week we took our bikes up to Zion and Brice National Parks and rode about 50 miles of paved trails with absolutely no issues.
I purchased a scrambler a couple of months ago. What a great decision. My wife tells me I am too analytical well that is my business. I sell analyzers for my business. And teach analyzers at a technical college. So I spent hours looking at the best e-bikes and found the vintage is the best. Well built. Well thought out and well engineered. If you are struggling to pick the best then go no further. I highly recommend Vintage Bikes. You will not be sorry. You will pay a bit more but it is well worth it. No need to look further. Make the decision and purchase a vintage bike today.
The best of the best.
For my biking, the power of my Vintage bike = safety. I do not ride for speed; I ride for safety.
Steep hills, with a less powerful electric system, caused me to do things that were note safe. Most commonly, before a steep hill, I would build up momentum (velocity x mass) to try to carry me a ways up the hill. That was not always safe because building up momentum required building up speed which was not always safe, especially on blind curves with bikers coming down the hill.
With the power of my Vintage bike, I now commonly do the opposite. I stop at the bottom of steep hills and just wait a bit, listening for on coming bikes. I then creep up the hill, under my control, until I know the trail is clear of other bikers. Being able to creep up a steep hill = safety.
I found this company while researching e-bikes. I loved all of models, the mission of this company, and the beauty and durability of their torque and pedal assist bikes. When I saw the Rally demo bike was for sale and after talking to Ed, I was sold! I love supporting independent companies who have a vision and passion for what they create. Vintage Electric nailed it. The Rally bike stands out and is even more beautiful in person. The speed is no joke! I live in the hills of Eugene and the Rally kills it going up. I love the uniqueness of my bike. When I’m riding to work/school people are checking it out! My teacher friends love it when they see me ride up. Simple and easy to ride. Thank you!! Jen.
I found Vintage Electric Bikes by accident, but what a find. I was considering another vintage style electric bike, but the specifications for Vintage Electric bike (VEB) got my attention. Then I YouTube videos of the VEB and was impressed. It was not until I saw the bike in person I realized I had to have it. Well, that day has come, and owning/riding VEB bike is simply an amazing adventure. The power, style, comfort, and yes speed is beyond words. If you are on the fence for this experience I highly recommend purchasing one you will not be disappointed.
