Getting around outdoors is easier with one of the new etransportation options like an electric bicycle or electric scooter. They are fun, reliable, environmentally green ways to commute, do your shopping, or just explore. Selection has been steadily increasing online and in-store at Best Buy for a while. Learn more about the availability of these great modern ways to travel. Also, check out the table below to find the store closest to you with a great selection. 

When will electric bicycles and electric scooters be in Best Buy stores

Many Best Buy stores have had a small selection of electric transportation products available for a while. That selection is now getting much larger and will be available in a lot more stores across the country. For example, a broad selection of e-scooters can be found at 123 stores across Canada! You’ll find top brands like Segway, SWFT, and more. Many of these will be Best Buy exclusives too, meaning you will not find them at any other retailer.

If you’ve been shopping for an electric bicycle over the past few months, you know how challenging it has been to find one. Supply has not been able to keep up with demand. Best Buy has been working to make a much larger selection available, and bring them into our stores so you can visit your local Best Buy and walk out with a great ebike.

How can you find the right bike or scooter

Here are some tips to help you get the best etransportation shopping experience. First, scan the Best Buy online pages for electric bikes and scooters. This will give you a sense of the types that are available to help you make a preliminary decision of what style is likely going to suit your needs. You can also read one of the buying guides we have created for each type of etransportation to learn in more detail about each one (I’ll put the links below for these buying guides). If you see one that you like online and see that it is available in one of your local stores, you can reserve it right then, and go to the store to pick it up. And of course, you can just have it shipped to your home!

You may prefer to begin your search at the store. The in-store selection in many stores will include a broad selection of styles, including the versatile folding electric bicycles (great for travelling and commuting) and a huge assortment of escooters. Visit your local Best Buy store and you might find exactly what you need right there.

Can I ride a new electric bike right out at the store?

You are excited to get riding but you should be aware that a new ebike or escooter may not be ready to ride as soon as you take it off the shelf. Firstly, most manufacturers recommend you fully charge the Lithium battery before you start riding. Take that time to get familiar with the safety instructions provided, and ensure you have a helmet and other accessories that will make for a great experience. In some cases, there may be partial assembly required. Take your time and carefully follow the instructions. If you prefer, you can contact Geek Squad about their available home assembly service.
