NEW!  Optional Mountain Bike Wheelset for 26" Bikes!

We're now offering a narrower wheelset for the Large blackbird.  This option sets the bike up with 27.5" x 2.1" Maxxis tires on lightweight rims.  This removes over 5lbs of weight from the bike, making for a lighter, more maneuverable ride!

The Large frame size can also come with both wheelsets for an additional fee.  The 2nd wheelset includes:

27.5" rear wheel with Bafang Hub Motor

Front 27.5" wheel

Pair of 27.5" tubes

Pair of 27.5" x 2.1" Maxxis Tires

The 2nd wheelset does NOT include a 9 speed SRAM cassette or 203mm rotors.  These can be transferred from the installed fat wheels, or purchased separately if you'd like 2 complete sets.

"Bolton" Blowout!  We're clearing out all bikes with the Bolton label to make room for "Area 13" bikes.

Due to high demand of parts globally, we reserve the right to change to similar or better spec'd parts. Any changes will be noted below.

    I have been enjoying the Blackbird so far. I have had no issues. Battery life is great. Handling and comfort are also very good.

    The blackbird has allowed an older rider like myself to go where my tired old legs can't take me. Love it !

    He'll of a BIKE

    Posted by Robert Noah on Feb 25th 2023

    I own two 26" fatties but neither were trail able so when I saw these (BOLTON) 24" trail ready I fell in love and wouldn't you know it Kyle had a giveaway contest! MERRY CHRISTMAS 2 ME! I WON....now let me tell ya, this 24" trail fatty is FANtastic! It handles like a dream (a bit stiff as should be) and the 4.0 knonbies make turns flawlessly. Equipped with a 48v 750 (7 speed)power station it's zippes the hills and flys on the open roadways! I can't say enough about this well engineered and equipped BOLTON E-BIKE...just join us and experience the ride yourself! Thanks Kyle and BOLTON E-BIKES for getting me on the TRAILS!

    Love the Bike

    Posted by Ken Kelly on Feb 25th 2023

    Every thing is great. It arrived with the wheels, seat and handlebars off. I assembled it in about 30 minutes. I have put about 90 miles on it. The brakes need to be adjusted but overall a fast bike. Most of my riding is on the beach sand.

    Juiced up Rad Rover

    Posted by Steven Oldham on Feb 25th 2023

    Kyle did some work on a Rad Rover, replacing the stock daFang 750 W motor with his version of a 750 W motor along with a 52 volt battery, racks and other options. Bike works spectacularly for my 6' 1' 230 lb body. The bike handles very well and the electric boost performance is far superior to any other of the bikes I tried out, prior to purchasing from Kyle. His followup was great and well received by both my wife, (who also bought a bike from Kyle) and me. I would definitely purchase another product from Kyle, his videos are amazingly beneficial and well worth the time to view if you are in the e-bike market. Thanks Kyle!

    2020 26” Fat Bike

    Posted by Charlie MCGimsey on Feb 25th 2023

    I was going to buy a Rad Rover and do all the upgrades which would’ve cost $900 on top of buying the bike. I talked to Kyle about the new bikes he had coming in and he said he could do an upgrade for the battery and controller. The bike already came with all the other upgrades that I would add to the rover. It ended up in the end being cheaper than if I would’ve bought the rover and did the upgrades. This bike is amazing I am so happy with it. It’s everything I expected and more. Thank you Kyle so much love my bike

    the good and bad

    Posted by John Marlin on Feb 25th 2023

    The 4 stars are for the bike-powerful, fun and solid. It handles sand like a champ. The motor engages quickly and quietly. It definitely needs fenders . I rode thru some puddles and took a shower. It also needs a place to attach a water bottle cage. There are no drilled holes at all. As fore me specifically, I wish the handle bars were a tad shorter. The wide stance forces me to bend over more than I'd like. The bike came damaged (pretty badly). There was a hole in the box right where the rear wheel is. The motor wouldn't start, the fork was bent and I don't know if there is internal damage. Kyle has been helpful, but the California fires have stopped the mail in his area, so replacement parts have been very slow to arrive, IF they arrived. I paid to have some issues addresses and I'll deal with other stuff when things are a little more back to normal.
