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.

 CURRENT BLACKBIRDS DO NOT COME WITH SEAT DROPPERS.

26" Model is considered a Large (frame size is 19.5')

24"Model is considered a Medium (frame size 17")

    GREAT Ebike!!!!!!

    Posted by Brenda Zimmerman on Feb 25th 2023

    Got my 2020 Bolton Ebike end of March and I already have 400 miles on it!! It’s fabulous, FAST, lots of power and I really get the LOOKS when I’m riding it!! It must be the first fat tire Ebike in Findley Lake and everybody LOVES it!! I know I love it!! I spent double the money in 2019 for a Trek Super Commuter +7 and let me tell you the Trek bike doesn’t hold up at all to what the Bolton 2020 does!!!! My husband now rides the Trek Ebike and he can’t keep up with me! I have so much MORE power on the Bolton bike! Don’t hesitate to buy a Bolton Ebike you get great quality for the price!!!! You will not be disappointed!

    So Excited To Find The Perfect ebike!

    Posted by Bill Moore on Feb 25th 2023

    Last night I ordered the Bolton 2020 BlackBird Edition with a September delivery. I have spent countless hours reviewing ebikes online, watching reviews on YouTube, comparing specs/weight/size/options/price, checked out a local ebike store and then I watched a video by Kyle on the top 10 things to look for when buying an ebike. At first I thought Kyle was just a reviewer and noticed "Bolton Ebikes" as the channel. So, I watched numerous more videos by Kyle, loved his honesty, thoroughness, ebike knowledge and testing skills, and found this ebike on his site. All I can say is that you have excited a 64 year-old man that hasn't ridden a bike in 41 years. It was a little scary pre-ordering & paying for something that won't be here for 2+ months. What a DEAL on an ebike with outstanding specs. If this ebike does everything Kyle said on the video, I'll be ordering another bike for my wife. Can't wait for the Bolton 2020 BlackBird to arrive in Colorado! Bill

    Watts

    Posted by Darrell on Feb 25th 2023

    Glad I ordered the Blackbird. It seems to be a lot of bike for a good price. Be sure you check your state laws. I just found out, here in Nevada 750 watts is the highest power you can have and be considered a bike. Above 750 watts falls into the Moped category, requiring a motorcycle license. Also, it cannot be ridden on bicycle trails.

    Good bike

    Posted by Gord Johnson on Feb 25th 2023

    Good bike. My suggestions... 1. narrower handle bars would be good 2. front fender design doesn't offer much spray protection 3. more color options Thnx. Keep up the good work.

    2021- Blackbird

    Posted by Paul on Feb 25th 2023

    Well have had my new 26" Blackbird for 2 weeks now rides great have a squeak in the pedals otherwise runs great the torque sensor works great so far have gone 70 miles on pedal assist 1 and also zero on flat ground and still have 50% battery so should be able to ride close to 100 miles on a charge... Going on a downhill run got up to 35.6 mph. The bike rides 14 to 16 mph with no pedal assist on flat terrain. Would like to know if it would be possible to get handle bar mirrors to see who is behind me or for cars any suggestions? Good job Kyle great bike!!!
