Santa Cruz Electric Bikes

Santa Cruz's electric bikes blend trail pedigree and urban savvy with the power to go further, climb faster, and turn every ride into a thrill. The Vala delivers trail-capable, accessibly priced performance for everyday adventurers who want more miles and less fatigue. The Bullit crushes the steepest descents as a long-travel bruiser built for gravity with pedal-assist power to keep the shuttle runs low and the stoke high. The Heckler SL redefines lightweight E-MTB with a compact drive unit and carbon frame that feels stealthy and natural on technical terrain—a chairlift built right into the bike.

The Skitch brings that same fun-first philosophy to the city, blending lightweight design with the sleek Fazua drive system to flatten hills and outrun traffic while looking like a classic fixie from afar, turning the daily grind into a daily thrill with style, smarts, and just enough power.

Whether conquering trails or commutes, Santa Cruz's electric bikes deliver category-defining geometry, in-house carbon engineering, and all the fun, just with a little extra juice.
