Costco eBikes Canada (2026): All 16 Models Reviewed — What $649–$2,599 Gets You and What It Doesn't

Return Window
Costco Canada sells electric bikes. Some of them are genuinely good value. Some of them are $2,499 bikes with 350W motors that a $1,199 bike from a dedicated store would embarrass on a hill. This article tells you which is which.
We verified every electric bike listing on costco.ca in April 2026 — not from secondhand blogs, not from last year's flyers, not from the US site. From the actual Canadian page, price by price, spec by spec. What follows is the honest picture: what Costco does well, where the specs hit a hard ceiling, which brands disappeared since last year, and what a dedicated Canadian ebike store carries that no Costco warehouse ever will.
Costco Canada carries 16 electric bikes from 8 brands, priced $649 to $2,599. The strengths are real: a 90-day no-questions return policy, 2-year Concierge warranty on electronics, and several Canadian-designed brands (EBGO, Envo, VJET). The limitations are also real: every bike uses a hub motor (zero mid-drives), almost all use cadence sensors (only VJET offers torque), zero AWD or dual-motor options, zero full suspension, and zero electric trikes. The "$399 Costco ebike" that hundreds of Canadians search for each month does not exist — the cheapest is $649, and the Facebook ads offering $89 "Costco clearance" ebikes are scams. If Costco's 16 models fit what you need, buy there — the return policy alone is worth it.
If you need more, here are the bikes Costco doesn't carry: Eunorau FAT-HD 2.0 / Hunter X7 (1,000W mid-drive, 160Nm — Costco's max is 75Nm), Freesky Ranger Air M-540 (AWD dual motor, 200Nm — cheaper than Costco's top fat tire), or CitiTri E-310 trike (Costco sells zero trikes).

Every eBike Costco Canada Sells in 2026
Sixteen models. Eight brands. One motor format. The Canadian who walks into a Costco aisle today is not choosing between 16 ebikes — they are choosing whether the bike they actually need is one of these 16, or whether they are about to spend $1,500–$2,500 finding out it isn't and burning their 90-day return window to learn the lesson. Here is the list that answers the question first, before any spec sheet, sorted by price, every number verified from the live costco.ca listings in April 2026.
| # | Model | Price | Motor | Battery | Range | Torque Sensor? | Type |

| 16 | Envo X50 | $2,599 | 500W, 60Nm | Dual option | 150–200 km | No | Cargo/commuter |
What Disappeared Since Last Year
If you are searching for iGO electric bikes at Costco — the Montreal-based brand that used to be one of Costco Canada's biggest ebike suppliers — they are no longer listed. The iGO Elite 3D HD, iGO Extreme 3.1 fat tire, iGO Core Edge mountain bike, and iGO Metro CX are all gone from costco.ca as of April 2026. The same is true for the EBGO CC47+, EBGO CC60+, EBGO CC EF fat tire, the Urban Cruzer, and the Jetson Bolt Pro. If you are searching for Quest, Gen 3, Bird, Aventon, or Sondors at Costco Canada — none of them are listed and most were primarily US Costco brands that never had consistent Canadian availability.
The current lineup has shifted. VJET (four models with torque sensors), Demon Electric (two models), and Velotric (two models) are the notable additions. The VJET torque-sensor lineup is the single biggest improvement Costco has made to its ebike offering — torque sensors deliver a ride quality that cadence sensors cannot match, and Costco used to carry zero of them.
Why People Buy eBikes at Costco (And Why That's Not Wrong)
We sell ebikes for a living. We are going to be honest about where Costco beats us.
The 90-day satisfaction guarantee is the best return policy in the Canadian ebike industry. Costco classifies ebikes under electronics, which means 90 days from the date of purchase to return it — in-store or online, no restocking fee, full refund. That is a three-month trial period. No dedicated ebike store in Canada offers this. Most offer 14 to 30 days, some charge restocking fees, and shipping a 30 kg bike back in a box is nobody's idea of a good time. If you are genuinely unsure whether an ebike is right for you, buying from Costco and riding it for 89 days before deciding is a rational strategy we cannot argue with.
Costco Concierge Services provides a 2-year warranty on electronic components. The standard ebike warranty from most brands is 12 months. Costco doubles it, automatically, at no extra cost. For a product category where motor and controller failures are a real concern, this matters.
The bundled value is real. Most Costco ebikes ship with fenders, rear racks, lights, and sometimes panniers or helmets included — accessories that typically cost $150 to $300 extra at a bike shop. The EBGO E-volve, Envo Lynx, and Favorite Hybrid CSC all come with accessory bundles that meaningfully close the price gap against standalone purchases.
Six of the eight brands are Canadian-designed or Canadian-headquartered. EBGO is from Victoriaville, Quebec. Envo is from North Vancouver, British Columbia. VJET, GoPowerBike, Demon Electric, and FavoriteBikes are all Canadian operations. Costco's ebike aisle is quietly one of the more Canadian-heavy retail sections in the store. If buying Canadian matters to you, Costco is not the wrong place to look.
The Countdown · 320 Searches/Month · Zero Real Listings
The $399 Costco eBike — Fact vs Fiction
Three hundred and twenty Canadians search for "costco electric bike $399" every month. Here is the truth: that bike does not exist on costco.ca in 2026.
The cheapest electric bike Costco Canada currently sells is the Jetson OTG Elite at $649 — a 350W mini-folding bike with 16-inch wheels and roughly 32 km of range. It is a last-mile device, not a commuter. The next cheapest is $1,399. There is nothing between $649 and $1,399.
The $399 figure likely comes from US Costco clearance pricing on the Jetson Bolt Pro — a model no longer listed on the Canadian site. It may also come from in-warehouse manager specials that occasionally mark down seasonal inventory in September or October. But as a regular-price listing on costco.ca right now, it does not exist.
75 Newton-Metres · The Spec Ceiling Made Architectural
The Spec Ceiling No One Talks About
Every Costco ebike blog on the internet talks about what Costco sells. Almost none talk about what every single Costco ebike has in common — and what that commonality means for you as a buyer.
Here is what all 16 bikes on costco.ca share:
| Spec | Every Costco Bike | What Dedicated Stores Also Carry |
|---|---|---|
| Motor type | Hub motor (all 16) | Hub motor + mid-drive (multiplies your gears, better hills, better efficiency) |
| Motor power | 250W–750W (15 of 16 are ≤500W) | 500W to 4,000W peak |
| Drive system | Single rear motor (all 16) | Single motor + AWD dual-motor (front + rear) |
| Sensor | Cadence (12 of 16). Torque (4 VJET models only) | Cadence, torque, and switchable cadence/torque |
| Suspension | Hardtail or rigid (all 16) | Hardtail + full suspension (front fork + rear shock) |
| Max battery | ~691Wh (Velotric Nomad 1 Plus) | Up to 3,120Wh (Tesway X7 Pro) |
| Max torque | 75Nm (Velotric Nomad 1 Plus) | Up to 220Nm (Eunorau Flash mid-drive) |
| Trikes | 0 | 15+ models, $1,699–$5,599 |
| Moped / retro | 0 | 5+ models from $999 |
This is not a criticism. Costco is a warehouse retailer selling to a general audience. They stock the middle of the bell curve — bikes that work for the largest number of people at the lowest risk. That is what warehouses do, and they do it well.
But if you are the buyer who needs a mid-drive for steep Canadian hills, or AWD for winter, or full suspension for trails, or 1,000+ Wh for long-range riding, or a trike for stability — you have already left Costco's territory. The question is not whether Costco bikes are good. The question is whether the bike you actually need is one of the 16 they carry.
Not sure what you need? Start with the decision, not the store.
Our buying guide walks you through motor type, battery size, tire width, and ride style before you pick a brand or a store.
The 8-Step Buying Guide What eBikes Actually Cost in CanadaCostco Folding eBikes — and What Else Exists
Costco carries five folding or foldable ebikes. That is the deepest category in their lineup. Here is how they compare to what a dedicated store carries in the same format.
| Bike | Price | Motor | Battery | Tires | Key Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AT COSTCO | |||||
| Jetson OTG Elite | $649 | 350W | 36V 7.8Ah (281Wh) | 16" | Cheapest. Mini-bike, not a commuter. |
| GoPowerBike GoVolt | $1,399 | 500W | 48V | 20×2.6" | Full-size folding, decent range |
| Envo Lynx | $1,799 | 500W, 60Nm | 36V 12.8Ah (461Wh) | 20" | Canadian-designed (North Van), compact |
| VJET U1 | $1,899 | 500W | 48V 13Ah | — | Only folding with torque sensor at Costco |
| GoPowerBike GoExplore | $1,999 | 500W | — | 20" fat | Fat tire folding, dual suspension |
| AT A DEDICATED STORE | |||||
| Samebike CY20 | $899 | 350W, 45Nm | 36V 13Ah (468Wh) | 20" | $250 more than Jetson, 67% more battery, real 20" wheels |
| Samebike LOTDM200-II | $1,299 | 500W, 70Nm | 48V 13Ah (624Wh) | 20×4.0" fat | Fat tire folding, NFC lock, $100 less than GoVolt |
| Velotric Fold 1 Plus | $1,999 | 750W (1,100W pk), 75Nm | 48V 13Ah (624Wh) | 20×3.0" | SensorSwap torque/cadence, Apple Find My, 450 lb payload |
| Taubik Escape (Canadian) | $2,199 | 500W Bafang (1kW pk), 85Nm | 48V 15Ah Samsung 21700 (720Wh) | 20×4.0" fat | Canadian-designed, Samsung cells, UL certified, 85Nm |
| Ridstar H20 Pro | $1,800 | Dual motor 1,000W, 170Nm combined | 48V 23Ah (1,104Wh) | 20×4.0" fat | Dual motor + dual suspension + hydraulic everything. 170Nm combined torque. |
The pattern is consistent. At the same price, the dedicated-store bikes carry more battery, more torque, and features Costco doesn't stock — fat tires, dual batteries, torque sensors, smart tracking. At a lower price, they still match or exceed the Costco specs. The Samebike LOTDM200-II at $1,299 has fat tires, an NFC lock, and 70Nm torque — for $100 less than the GoVolt. The Taubik Escape at $2,199 is Canadian-designed with Samsung 21700 cells and 85Nm torque — the premium Canadian folding ebike that Costco doesn't carry.
Costco Commuter & Step-Thru eBikes — and What Else Exists
This is Costco's strongest category. Five commuter and step-through bikes, including the VJET C1 with a genuine torque sensor at $1,399 — arguably the best value in the entire Costco lineup.
| Bike | Price | Motor | Battery | Sensor | Key Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AT COSTCO | |||||
| VJET C1 | $1,399 | 500W, 55Nm | 48V 13Ah (624Wh) | Torque | Best value at Costco. Torque sensor is rare at this price. |
| EBGO E-volve | $1,699 | 500W, 65Nm | 48V 15Ah (720Wh) | Cadence | Canadian (Quebec). Good range. Suspension seatpost. |
| Demon 6ix City | $1,699 | 250W | 36V 10.5Ah (378Wh) | Cadence | Lightest bike at Costco (18 kg). City-only. |
| Velotric Discover 1 Plus ST | $1,799 | 500W (900W pk) | 48V | Cadence | Most established brand. UL certified. |
| Favorite Hybrid CSC ST | $1,999 | 500W Bafang | 48V 13.6Ah LG (653Wh) | Cadence | App, RFID lock, Shimano CUES 9-speed |
| AT A DEDICATED STORE | |||||
| Samebike XD26-II | $1,199 | 500W, 70Nm | 48V 15Ah (720Wh) | Cadence | $500 cheaper than the Demon 6ix with 2× the motor and 2× the battery |
| Eunorau Meta275 | $1,979 | 500W, 65Nm | 48V 13Ah + FREE 14Ah (1,296Wh) | Torque | Free 2nd battery doubles range. Torque sensor. 1,296Wh from the box. |
| Taubik Blackburn 275T (Canadian) | $2,399 | 500W, 70Nm | 48V 14.7Ah Samsung 21700 (706Wh) | Switchable torque/cadence | Samsung 21700, UL2271, dual battery option (1,411Wh). Canadian-designed. |
| Velotric Discover 3 | $2,699 | 750W (1,100W pk), 75Nm | 48V 15.2Ah (730Wh) | SensorSwap | Same Velotric brand. Air fork, turn signals, NFC, Apple Find My, IPX7, USB-C fast charge. |
| Eunorau FAT-HD 2.0 / Hunter X7 | $3,239 | 1,000W Bafang mid-drive, 160Nm | 48V 15Ah Samsung (720Wh, dual-ready to 1,440Wh) | Torque | 2× the wattage and 2× the torque of any Costco bike. Step-through fat tire mid-drive Costco has no answer for. |
| Freesky NOVA B-360 | $2,373 | 500W (1,000W pk), 55Nm | 48V 30Ah dual Samsung (1,440Wh) | Torque | 1,440Wh dual Samsung. 400 lb payload. Step-thru. Torque sensor. |
The Demon Electric 6ix City at $1,699 deserves a specific callout. It is an 18 kg, 250W, 36V bike with a cadence sensor and 378Wh of battery. The Samebike XD26-II at $1,199 has twice the motor (500W), nearly twice the battery (720Wh), 70Nm of torque, hydraulic brakes, and full-size 26" wheels — for $500 less. The 6ix is beautiful and light. The spec sheet does not support the price.
At the other end, Costco shoppers who already trust Velotric (from the Discover 1 Plus) should know that the Velotric Discover 3 exists at Zeus — same brand, but with an air fork, turn signals, NFC unlock, Apple Find My tracking, and a SensorSwap system that lets you toggle between torque and cadence sensing from the display. It is the Discover 1 Plus with everything the Costco version wished it had.
The mid-drive difference is real.
Every Costco ebike uses a hub motor. A mid-drive multiplies your gears, climbs steeper hills, and delivers a ride feel hub motors cannot match. This guide explains why.
Mid-Drive vs Hub Motor Explained Browse Step-Thru eBikesCostco Fat Tire & Mountain eBikes — and What Else Exists
Three Costco bikes target off-road, trail, or all-terrain riders. This is where the spec ceiling is most visible — because trails, snow, and hills are exactly where motor power, torque, suspension, and battery capacity matter most.
| Bike | Price | Motor / Torque | Battery | Suspension | Key Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AT COSTCO | |||||
| VJET M1 Mountain | $1,399 | 500W / 50Nm | 48V 13Ah (624Wh) | Front only (hardtail) | Mountain-labelled but hardtail with commuter geometry |
| VJET F1 Fat Tire | $1,599 | 500W / torque sensor | 48V | Front only | Fat tire with torque sensor. Good value. |
| Velotric Nomad 1 Plus ST | $1,999 | 750W / 75Nm | 48V 691Wh | Front only (hardtail) | Only Costco bike over 500W. Cadence sensor. |
| AT A DEDICATED STORE | |||||
| Samebike RS-A02 Pro | $1,299 | 500W (1kW pk) / 80Nm | 48V 15Ah (720Wh) | Front w/ lockout | $300 cheaper than VJET F1 with more torque and more battery |
| Taubik Westridge 29T (Canadian) | $2,499 | 500W (1kW pk) / 90Nm | 48V 15Ah Samsung 21700 (720Wh) | Mozo coil fork (hardtail) | Canadian-designed, 29×2.4" Kenda trail, torque sensor, Samsung cells |
| Freesky Eurostar Ultra M-410 | $1,887 | 3,000W peak / 130Nm | 48V 25Ah (1,200Wh) | Full suspension | 130Nm = 2.6× the VJET M1. Full suspension. UL2849. 400 lb payload. |
| Velotric Nomad 2X | $3,399 | 750W (1,400W pk) / 105Nm | 48V 705.6Wh | Front suspension | Same Velotric brand but with switchable torque sensor and 40% more torque than the Costco Nomad 1 Plus |
| Himiway D5 2.0 ST | $2,799 | 750W / 90Nm | 48V 15Ah (720Wh) | Full suspension | Full suspension, Maxxis Minion fat tires, switchable torque sensor. Step-thru available. |
| Freesky Ranger Air M-540 | $1,887 | AWD 3,500W peak / 200Nm | 48V 25Ah (1,200Wh) | Full suspension | AWD dual motor. 200Nm. Full suspension. Step-thru. UL2849. Costco has zero AWD bikes. |
| Eahora DL2000 | $3,699 | AWD 2,000W peak / 130Nm | 52V 30Ah (1,560Wh) | Full suspension | AWD moped-style. Full suspension. 52V 1,560Wh. Hydraulic 240mm. Selectable front/rear/dual drive. |
The gap is widest here. The Velotric Nomad 1 Plus is the best Costco has at 750W and 75Nm — but it is a hardtail with a cadence sensor. The Freesky Ranger Air M-540 at $1,887 is an AWD dual-motor, full-suspension, step-through fat tire bike with 200Nm of torque, 1,200Wh of Samsung battery, and UL2849 certification — for $112 less than the Nomad 1 Plus. That is not a marginal difference. That is a different category of bike at a lower price.
For the mountain buyer specifically: the Taubik Westridge 29T is the Canadian-designed hardtail trail bike with a torque sensor, Samsung 21700 cells, and 29×2.4" Kenda Booster Pro trail tires that Costco's mountain category is missing. If you want a real mountain ebike and you want it designed in Canada, this is the one.
Costco Premium eBikes — and What Else Exists
Costco's three most expensive bikes — the Envo Stax Pro ($2,469), Demon Phantom ($2,499), and Envo X50 ($2,599) — sit in a price range where the competition from dedicated stores is fierce.
| Bike | Price | Motor / Torque | Battery | Key Issue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AT COSTCO | ||||
| Envo Stax Pro | $2,469 | 500W / 60Nm | 461Wh | Beautiful stealth design at 19 kg — but small battery for the price |
| Demon Phantom | $2,499 | 350W | — | $2,499 for a 350W motor. The hardest bike on this list to justify. |
| Envo X50 | $2,599 | 500W / 60Nm | Dual option | Strong cargo bike. 150–200 km range with dual battery. Canadian-designed. |
| AT A DEDICATED STORE | ||||
| Addmotor CityPro E-43 | $1,299 | 500W | — | City commuter at half the Phantom's price with more motor |
| Eunorau Defender | $2,569 | 500W / 60Nm | 48V 15Ah (720Wh) | Full-suspension mountain, 27.5×3.0", hydraulic disc, 2nd battery option |
| Tesway X5 AWD | $2,399 | Dual motor, 3,600W peak | 52V 60Ah | AWD step-thru. Massive battery. $200 less than the X50. |
| Tesway X7 Pro | $1,789 | Single motor | 52V 60Ah (3,120Wh) | 3,120Wh = 200–320 km range. $710 cheaper than the X50. |
| Smartravel Raptor ST202 Pro | $2,446 | Dual 1,500W (3,000W pk), 150Nm | 52V 50Ah | Dual motor, 150Nm, 52V 50Ah. $154 less than the X50, entirely different class. |
The Demon Phantom at $2,499 deserves the hardest look. It is a 350W commuter with a Shimano 9-speed drivetrain and hydraulic brakes — which are good components. But $2,499 for a 350W motor puts it in a price bracket where the Eunorau Meta275 at $1,979 delivers a 500W motor, a torque sensor, and a free second battery totalling 1,296Wh. The Meta275 costs $520 less, has a bigger motor, more torque, a torque sensor, and nearly double the battery. The Phantom's build quality may justify some of the gap, but the spec sheet does not close it.
Five Shelves That Don't Exist · Zero of Five at Costco
What You'll Never Find at Costco
These are entire categories of electric bike that do not exist anywhere in Costco's 16-model Canadian lineup — and that a dedicated retailer carries as standard inventory.
| Category | Costco Has | Example from Zeus | Price | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mid-drive motor | 0 | Eunorau Flash Mid-Drive — 1,000W, 220Nm | $2,899 | Mid-drives multiply your gears. On a steep hill, 220Nm mid-drive does what a 500W hub motor physically cannot. |
| AWD / dual motor | 0 | Freesky Ranger M-540 — 3,500W peak, 200Nm AWD | $1,887 | Two motors, one bike. Snow, sand, mud, gravel — cheaper than Costco's Nomad 1 Plus. |
| Full suspension | 0 | Himiway D5 2.0 — 750W, Maxxis Minion, front + rear shock | $2,799 | Every Costco bike is hardtail or rigid. Your spine knows the difference after 20 km of trail. |
| Moped / retro | 0 | Z8 Pro — 750W, dual battery 1,500Wh, 20×4.0" fat | $1,399 | Costco has commuters and folders. Zero mopeds. Zero retro. Zeus has a whole collection. |
| Triple battery (200+ km) | 0 | Eunorau Flash — expandable to 54Ah / 2,808Wh | $2,169+ | Costco's biggest battery is ~691Wh. The Flash holds 4× that — and carries 440 lbs. |
| Hunting / bush | 0 | Freesky Eurostar M-410 — 130Nm, 1,200Wh, 400 lb payload | $1,887 | Costco doesn't sell bikes for the bush. Zeus has a dedicated hunting collection. |
And the Entire Category Costco Hasn't Touched: Electric Trikes
Costco Canada sells zero electric tricycles. Not one. If you need three wheels — for stability, accessibility, cargo, mobility, or because you are a senior rider who wants the freedom of an ebike without the balance requirement of two wheels — Costco cannot help you.
Zeus carries 15 electric trikes from $1,699 to $5,599. Three that fit the Costco buyer's price range:
| Trike | Price | Why This One |
|---|---|---|
| Meigi Hera | $1,699 | Entry-level trike — cheaper than 12 of 16 Costco ebikes. Proves trikes don't have to be expensive. |
| CITYTRI E-310 | $1,999 | Same price as the Favorite Hybrid CSC on costco.ca — except with three wheels. Two-year, zero-warranty-calls review on our site. |
| Eunorau ONE-TRIKE 2.0 | $2,429 | Premium trike from Eunorau — the brand that builds the Flash. Built to last. |
If you are buying an ebike for a parent, a grandparent, or anyone who prioritises stability over speed — trikes are not a niche product. They are one of the fastest-growing segments in the Canadian ebike market. Costco simply does not carry them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Costco electric bikes good?
Costco electric bikes are good for what they are — entry-level to mid-range hub-motor ebikes from legitimate brands, backed by a 90-day satisfaction guarantee and a 2-year Concierge warranty. The VJET models stand out for including torque sensors at $1,399. The limitation is the ceiling: all hub motors, almost all cadence sensors, no AWD, no full suspension, no mid-drives, no trikes, and a maximum battery of roughly 691Wh. If the bike you need is within those bounds, Costco is a smart place to buy it. If it isn't, you need a dedicated store.
What is Costco's return policy on electric bikes in Canada?
Ninety days from the date of purchase. Costco classifies ebikes under electronics, which gives you a 90-day satisfaction guarantee — return in-store or online, no restocking fee, full refund. This is the most generous ebike return policy in Canadian retail. Costco Concierge Services also extends the warranty on electronic components to 2 years at no additional cost.
Does Costco sell electric bikes in Canada?
Yes. As of April 2026, costco.ca lists 16 electric bikes from 8 brands — Jetson, VJET, GoPowerBike, EBGO, Demon Electric, Envo, Velotric, and FavoriteBikes — ranging from $649 to $2,599. Most are online-only with free shipping. The Jetson OTG Elite is also available for in-warehouse pickup at select locations. Costco's ebike selection is seasonal and changes throughout the year.
Is the $399 Costco electric bike real?
Not in Canada in 2026. The cheapest electric bike on costco.ca is the Jetson OTG Elite at $649. The "$399 Costco electric bike" that hundreds of Canadians search for each month does not currently exist as a regular listing. Facebook and Instagram ads offering "Costco electric bike clearance sales" for $89 to $199 are scams — fake websites using Costco's branding. Buy only from costco.ca or your local Costco warehouse.
What happened to iGO electric bikes at Costco Canada?
iGO — the Montreal-based brand that was one of Costco Canada's most popular ebike suppliers — is no longer listed on costco.ca as of April 2026. The iGO Elite 3D HD, iGO Extreme 3.1, iGO Core Edge, and iGO Metro CX have all been replaced in the current inventory by brands including VJET, Demon Electric, Velotric, and FavoriteBikes. The VJET lineup is the closest current alternative at Costco, as VJET is the only brand there offering torque sensors across its full range.
Can you buy a folding electric bike at Costco Canada?
Yes. Costco carries five folding or foldable ebikes: the Jetson OTG Elite ($649, 16" wheels), GoPowerBike GoVolt ($1,399, 20"), Envo Lynx ($1,799, 20"), VJET U1 ($1,899, foldable with torque sensor), and GoPowerBike GoExplore ($1,999, 20" fat tire). All are hub motors at 350W–500W. Dedicated stores carry folding ebikes with higher-power motors, dual batteries, torque sensors, and smart tracking that Costco's selection does not include.
Can you buy a fat tire electric bike at Costco Canada?
Yes, but the selection is limited to three models: the VJET F1 ($1,599, torque sensor), GoPowerBike GoExplore ($1,999, folding), and Velotric Nomad 1 Plus ($1,999, 750W step-thru). None offer full suspension, dual motors, or batteries above 691Wh. Dedicated stores carry fat tire ebikes with full suspension, AWD, 1,200Wh+ batteries, and 130–200Nm torque.
Does Costco sell electric trikes in Canada?
No. As of April 2026, Costco Canada does not sell any electric tricycles. Every ebike on costco.ca is a two-wheeled bicycle. If you need three wheels for stability, accessibility, or cargo, you need a dedicated retailer. Zeus carries 15 electric trikes from $1,699 to $5,599.
Is the Costco electric bike clearance sale legitimate?
Costco does mark down ebike inventory seasonally — typically September through November. However, the "Costco electric bike clearance sale" ads on Facebook and Instagram offering bikes for $89 to $199 are scams. These are fake websites that steal payment information. Legitimate sales happen only on costco.ca or at Costco warehouses. If the price seems impossible, it is. Read our investigation into Canada's online fraud crisis for details.
What is the best electric bike at Costco Canada?
For pure value, the VJET C1 at $1,399 — it is the cheapest torque-sensor ebike at Costco and one of the cheapest in all of Canadian retail. For an established brand, the Velotric Discover 1 Plus at $1,799. For range, the EBGO E-volve at $1,699 (100 km claimed). For cargo, the Envo X50 at $2,599. No single Costco bike is "the best" — the best bike is the one that matches how you actually ride. If none of the 16 match, the answer is not to compromise. The answer is to look at a dedicated Canadian ebike store.

The Bottom Line
Costco Canada carries 16 electric bikes from 8 brands, priced $649 to $2,599. The 90-day return policy is the best in the industry. The 2-year Concierge warranty is double the standard. Six of eight brands are Canadian. The VJET torque-sensor lineup at $1,399 is genuinely strong value. If one of these 16 bikes is the bike you need — buy it there. The return policy alone removes the risk.
But 16 models is 16 models. Every one uses a hub motor. Almost every one uses a cadence sensor. None offer full suspension, AWD, dual motors, mid-drive efficiency, moped style, triple-battery range, or three wheels. The maximum torque is 75Nm. The maximum battery is roughly 691Wh. If your riding — Canadian hills, Canadian winter, Canadian trails, Canadian distances — demands more than those limits, the warehouse has done what it can for you and you need to keep looking.
A dedicated Canadian ebike store carries 50+ models from $899 to $5,599 — including every category Costco doesn't stock, from electric trikes and moped-style bikes to AWD dual-motor systems and 220Nm mid-drives with triple batteries. The return windows are shorter. The selection is incomparably deeper. The expertise is the kind you get from people who sell nothing but ebikes, answer the phone, and know what a torque sensor does without reading the box.
Start with what you need. Then find where it's sold. Not the other way around.
