The Electric Bike Shop, a UK-based retailer of electric bikes and accessories, has recently expanded its portfolio of brands by adding Niner, a US-based off road bike specialist. Niner was established in 2005 and is known for its innovative and high-quality mountain bikes available in a variety of sizes and configurations. Particularly, the brand is known for offering larger bikes for taller riders.
The Electric Bike Shop will offer two models from Niner’s e9 series, the WFO e9 and RIP e9, which feature aluminum frames, Bosch motors, and different suspension and geometry options. Niner and Vaast, another US bike brand under the same parent company, have been dealing directly with dealers in the UK since November last year, after parting ways with its former distributor ZyroFisher.
