Electric Bike Outlet is relocating to a larger facility at 8501 Auburn Blvd in Citrus Heights, with owner Isaac Stabler eyeing an opening by the end of December or early January, pending permits and construction. The move will allow the family-run dealership to continue growing its electric bike business while adding more inventory, services, and planning to open a coffe shop inside this massive location, more details to be confirmed.
The store was founded two decades ago by Isaac’s father and in that time they were focused only in selling ATVs and gas-powered dirt bikes. Now, the business has transformed significantly over the past five years, shifting almost entirely to electric bikes as demand surged. “Now it’s like 95% of our business is all electric bicycles,” Stabler told What Now Sacramento.
Today, Electric Bike Outlet offers a full-service experience in sales, parts, tune-ups, upgrades, helmets, and financing. Stabler said one of the company’s biggest goals is to make electric bikes more accessible to everyday customers. Most of their bikes range from under $1,000 to $2,000, with 0% interest financing available, in comparison with other local dealserships that sell electric bikes around the $4,000–$10,000.
The business is also planning to partner with a local coffee company to bring a café into the dealership. Stabler said the café will be around 5,000 square feet and will include rentable spaces for events, helping make the location more of a community hub.
An expansion also comes with hiring new staff. The company has grown from 15 to 31 employees in the past year, and Stabler expects to bring on an additional 10 to 20 people by the time the new location opens. Interested applicants can reach out through the company’s website.
The team also hopes to host regular e-bike meetups, barbecues, and community events where riders can bring their bikes, connect with others, and spend time at the new space.
“We just want to get people out, get to the nature and get on the bike trail with a more eco-friendly transportation,” Stabler said.
