Sacramento County bike shops see electric bike sales soar

Electric bike sales are on the rise, according to bike shop owners in Sacramento County. Erin Gorrell, owner of Folsom Bike, said the growth from his two stores in Folsom and El Dorado Hills was 232%. He sells other types of bikes, but he has been selling e-bikes more than any other type of bicycle. "I think COVID definitely helped in terms of getting people outside and realizing what forms of transportation they could use to get outside," Gorrell said.
