Buy Online, Pick Up In-Store: The Smartest Way to Get Your Electric Bike

Shopping online is easy. Getting real service? Not so much. That’s why at Bike Attack Electric in Santa Monica, we give you the best of both worlds: the convenience of buying your e-bike online, and the unmatched service of picking it up fully assembled, professionally tuned, and locally supported by real people who ride.

Whether you're looking for a stylish cruiser, a commuter workhorse, or a performance e-bike, you can shop online right from our website and pick up your bike fully built and ready to ride — right here in sunny Santa Monica.


Why "Buy Online, Pick Up In-Store" is a Game-Changer

In today’s world, many brands — especially electric bike brands like Aventon and Velotric — sell directly to consumers online. But that doesn’t mean you have to give up on quality assembly, local service, or support.

Here's what makes us different:

Professional Assembly

Forget the hassle of unboxing and assembling your new bike. Our certified bike mechanics build every e-bike professionally and test it before it ever touches the road.

Full Manufacturer Warranty — Honored Locally

Online-only purchases often come with a catch: no local warranty support. At Bike Attack Electric, we not only offer the official manufacturer warranty, but we handle it in-store — no shipping your bike off for repairs.

30-Day Free Tune-Up

All bikes need a little love after a few rides. We include a complimentary 30-day tune-up to make sure your bike is running perfectly after it settles in.

On-Site Service & Repairs

Need adjustments? A flat tire fixed? New accessories? Our Santa Monica shop is fully equipped to handle it — and you're always welcome.

Expert Advice from Real Riders

Our team is made up of passionate cyclists and e-bike experts. We're here to help you choose the right bike, answer your questions, and make sure your ride fits you perfectly.

Brands You Can Buy Online and Pick Up Assembled

We carry a wide selection of high-quality electric and traditional bikes — from trusted online-first brands to legendary bike manufacturers. Here's a look at the brands we offer:

Online-First Brands (With Local Support!)

These brands are often sold direct-to-consumer, meaning most customers are left on their own after purchase. But when you buy them from Bike Attack Electric, you get full local support.

  • Aventon – Stylish, powerful, and affordable electric bikes built for commuting and recreation.

  • Velotric – Sleek, urban e-bikes with powerful motors and minimalist designs.

  • Aima – Innovative and efficient urban mobility solutions.

Why this matters:
Buying an Aventon or Velotric online might save you a few clicks — but what happens when it arrives in a box? You’ll need to assemble it yourself (often incorrectly), and your warranty may not be valid unless it’s assembled by a pro. When you buy through Bike Attack Electric, you get pro assembly, full warranty, and expert service — included.


Premium Bike Brands In-Store and Online

Looking for premium performance, heritage craftsmanship, or high-end e-mobility solutions? We’ve got you covered with world-class brands:

  • Scott – Swiss-engineered performance bikes for mountain, road, and urban riding.

  • Cannondale – Iconic American bike brand known for innovation and high-end e-bike technology.

  • Bianchi – Italian craftsmanship meets elegant design and precision performance.

  • Tern – Industry-leading folding and cargo e-bikes perfect for city dwellers and families.

  • Sole – Clean, minimalist fixed-gear and city bikes perfect for stylish urban riding.

  • Urtopia – Futuristic smart bikes with carbon frames and integrated tech.

Whether you're an urban commuter, weekend trail warrior, or daily adventurer, we have the right bike for you — and we'll make sure it fits your lifestyle and your body perfectly.

How Does This Work?

Buying a bike online from Bike Attack Electric is simple — and you get to choose what works best for you.

Choose “Pick Up In Store” during checkout to get:

Fully Assembled Bike

Full Manufacturer Warranty (Honored Locally)
30-Day Free Tune-Up
Same-Day or Next-Day Pick-Up (when in stock)
Local Support from Real People

Once your bike is ready, we’ll contact you for pick-up at our Santa Monica store. Most bikes are ready within 24-48 hours (if in stock).


2. Ship to Your Address

Prefer to have it shipped? No problem. Select “Shipping” at checkout, and we’ll send the bike to your home in its original factory box.

Our Recommendation:

For the best experience, we highly recommend choosing In-Store Pick-Up, especially for brands like Aventon, Velotric, and Aima, which are often shipped direct-to-consumer without assembly support. With us, you’ll get a ready-to-ride bike, plus local service and peace of mind.
