Electric Bikes are on the Upswing

Human Electric Hybrids (HEH) and Urban Rider Cargo Bikes, which will celebrate their 10th anniversary in 2023, plans to consolidate cargo bike and ebike sales into their new showroom located at 320 Miller Avenue to concentrate on providing only the highest quality ebikes. The showroom at 410 North 4th Avenue, in Kerrytown, has been open since August 2020, seven days a week, with ebikes starting at $1,600. There is a grand opening/10th anniversary celebration planned for February 4 at the 320 Miller location. To help celebrate their anniversary, HEH is offering a 10 percent discount off accessories.
