A few things worth noting from this list:
- Electric options start around $2,000. The Trek FX+ 1 Step Over and FX+ 7S are the electric models shown with prices. The shop also says it has "one of the biggest selection of electric bikes in the area," so the online list may not be the full in-store range.
- Gravel bikes sit in the $1,800–$6,000 band. The Checkpoint line covers this, from the ALR 4 up to the Checkpoint+ SL 5.
- Cruisers and kids' bikes are the cheapest entry points. The Electra Sprocket 1 (16-inch) and Electra Townie are the lowest-priced listings.
- Hybrid/fitness bikes cluster in the $600–$1,200 range. The Verve and FX lines cover this.

How to Decide
- If you want a cruiser or a simple kids' bike: start with the Electra listings.
- If you want a hybrid, fitness, or commuter bike: the Trek Verve and FX lines are the relevant ones.
- If you want gravel or road: look at the Trek Checkpoint (gravel) and Domane (road) models.
- If you want electric: the Trek FX+ models are the priced examples, but ask about the full e-bike selection since the shop claims a larger range than what's listed.
- If you want mountain bikes: the category exists on the site, but no specific mountain model is named in the available content, so you'd need to check with the shop directly.
Trying Before Buying
The shop invites customers to test ride at its Winfield or Batavia locations. It also offers free delivery within 5 miles of either store, free curbside pickup on all orders, and — with each new bike purchase — lifetime free adjustments plus one free tune-up valid for up to a year from purchase. Those perks apply to new bike purchases, so factor them in when comparing the listed price against another shop's.
