This bike is for riders who want an easy, comfortable way to get around town without arriving sweaty. It suits casual cyclists, returning riders, and anyone who values putting both feet down at every stop. It’s ideal for errands, café runs, and short commutes between Kelowna neighbourhoods. Riders will appreciate the throttle for effortless starts at intersections and the built-in lighting for visibility in traffic. If you’d like fenders and a rack included from the factory, the Townie Go! EQ is also worth a look.

Our team at Fresh Air will help you find the right fit in-store at both Kelowna locations. Stop by to work with one of our experienced staff members, or call 250-763-3425.

As a certified Electra and Trek dealer, our team can pair your Townie Go! with the Trek Central app. We’ll walk you through the assist modes and the throttle, and tune the pedal-assist feel to how you ride. We’ll set your saddle and handlebar height to make the most of Flat Foot Technology, check your tyre pressure, and confirm that your lights, turn signals and brake light are working before you leave. We can also add a basket, rear rack or fenders, set up the Quad Lock phone mount, and show you how to use the magnetic charger at home. We also offer ongoing e-bike servicing, firmware updates, and expert year-round advice. Drop into Fresh Air Pandosy (555 Groves Ave) or Fresh Air Dilworth (1656 Dilworth Drive), or book an appointment online.

Q1: What size Electra Townie Go! do I need?
The Townie Go! comes in two sizes. The S/M rolls on 26" wheels and generally fits riders from about 4'11" to 5'9". The M/L uses 27.5" wheels and generally fits riders from about 5'4" to 6'4". If you fall in the overlap between the two, the right choice depends on your inseam and how you like to sit, so a quick in-store fit is the easiest way to decide. You can also review the full geometry on the Electra geometry chart (linked above).

Q2: Is the Electra Townie Go! right for riding the Okanagan Rail Trail?
Yes, especially for relaxed rides on the smoother stretches and for linking neighbourhoods around Kelowna. The 2.35" balloon tyres and upright position keep things comfortable, and the throttle makes starts effortless. It’s designed as a cruiser for paved and hard-packed paths rather than rough or loose trails.

Q3: How far can I ride on a single charge, and what factors affect range?
Electra Canada rates the Townie Go! at up to 80 km per charge from its 520Wh battery. Using the throttle drains the battery faster than pedal assist. Other factors that affect range include your assist level, rider and cargo weight, hills, headwinds, tyre pressure, and cold temperatures. The Trek Central app includes battery life extension options to help you stretch your range. A full charge takes about 5.5 hours with the magnetic charger.
