Electric Bikes for Sale in San Jose, California

Direct from Diesel Electric Bikes. We ship to San Jose, so you skip the local shop markup; order the RX-1 or RS-1 online and it arrives ready for South Bay commutes.

The Diesel RS-1 is the commuter pick: 1000W of power for flat valley streets and creek trail commutes, a two-person saddle for a passenger, and a rack and basket for cargo.

Class 1-3 ebikes require no license or registration in California, and Class 3 riders must be 16 or older and wear a helmet. State law caps class ebikes at 750W and 28 MPH. The Diesel RS-1 is more powerful than a class ebike, so treat full-power riding as off-road or private-property use and check your local rules before riding on public streets or paths.

Start with the Guadalupe River Trail, Los Gatos Creek Trail and Coyote Creek Trail. Class rules on shared paths vary by jurisdiction, so check posted signage and keep speeds neighborly around walkers.

Diesel's lineup runs $2,499 for the RX-1 and $2,599 for the RS-1, shipped to San Jose. That is moped-class power and full suspension for less than most premium commuter ebikes.
