FAQs

  • Electric bikes, or e-bikes, have battery-powered electric motors to help propel you on your ride. E-bikes run on electric power and pedalling.

  • E-bikes are a quiet, zero-emissions option that is generally much less expensive than a car or other vehicle. Plus, they make cycling more accessible and fun for many people. Other benefits:

    Get fit: E-biking is great for people with fitness limitations or who are new or returning to cycling. You still get exercise and can adjust the assist to your comfort level.

    Carry more: Carry heavier cargo, like groceries, with more ease.

    Commute quicker: Arrive at the office sooner, without breaking a sweat.

  • There are as many types of riders as there are e-bikes. Some are looking for a healthy way to actively commute to work. For others, it’s a way to keep biking later in life or to go longer distances. For some households, it’s a more affordable and green option to a second car.

  • The Saint John Energy E-Bike Financing Program is for pedal assist bikes. As the name suggests, these are electric bicycles that you must pedal to engage the motor, which kicks in to offer a little assistance on hills or into the wind. This class of e-bike has a maximum assisted speed of 32 km/hour, a minimum drive size of 250W, and a minimum battery size of 400Wh.

  • The program offers financing of $2,000-$5,000 over a maximum of five years. The interest rate is 10%. At the time of your application, we can discuss a financing term that meets your needs.

  • No problem. The program will cover up to $5,000 of your e-bike purchase price. You are responsible for paying the bike shop any amount owing beyond that.

  • You’ll need to provide the information you’d need for any credit check. Along with your name, Saint John Energy account number, and contact information, we’ll also ask you for permission to check your credit score
