Electric Bikes for Sale in Seattle, Washington

Direct from Diesel Electric Bikes. We ship to Seattle, so you skip the local shop markup; order the RX-1 or RS-1 online and it arrives ready for Seattle's steep climbs.

The Diesel RS-1. Its 1000W Bafang motor and 720Wh battery power up Queen Anne, Capitol Hill and First Hill grades without draining, and full suspension keeps the ride smooth on the way back down.

Not at the moment. Washington uses a Class 1-3 system with no license or registration required, and Class 3 riders must be 16 or older (but laws are subject to change). The Diesel RS-1 can exceed class speeds in its highest setting, so keep that mode off public streets and paths.

Start with Burke-Gilman Trail, Elliott Bay Trail and the Chief Sealth 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 Seattle. That is moped-class power and full suspension for less than most premium commuter ebikes.
