Electra makes bikes that the everyday rider will want to have. The Loft Go! is a great example of that, thriving on virtually any type of road, and even off it. It comes with a very retro look, but its motor, geometry, and ride feel are all adequate for modern urban cycling. This bike is great for maneuvering around the city, absorbing the shock of imperfect roads, and having a fun time every time you take it out of the garage.

What non-electric bike features does the Electra Loft Go! have?
The Electra Loft Go! is a capable and fun city cruiser first and an e-Bike second. For a Class 1 electric bike to do its job, the actual bicycle components need to carry their own weight rather than be covered up by the motor. This electric bike has a strong frame along with comfort-oriented components and a complete build that is ready for tough city roads.
- Frame: The Electra Loft Go! comes with a relaxed but strong hydroformed aluminum frame. The frame falls somewhere between a step-over and step-through frame, giving it a traditional city bike feel while remaining easy to mount. This keeps the rider upright in a comfortable posture with great handling.
- Urban Wheels: The wheels and tires were chosen with city riding in mind. The Electra Loft Go! comes equipped with 700c wheels and nimble but comfortable 40mm Kenda Piedmont tires. They are not fat tires like on some of Electra’s cruiser models, but they still balance adequate cushion with urban capability.
- Commuter Features:The Electra Loft Go! is a great choice for city commuters who want an easy ride to work. In fact, Electra even made a commuter package just for this bike. The Factory Equipped (EQ) versions of the bike come with full mudguards, a kickstand, and mounts for front and rear utility cargo baskets. Use this bike to get to work or on a run to the store.
What electronic perks come with the Loft Go?
Even with its focus on traditional feel, the Electra Loft Go! comes with some awesome tech features that you need in an e-Bike. It is a Class 1 electric bike, meaning that it will assist up to 20 mph before the motor cuts off. This gives you just enough of an extra boost to commute or run an errand without breaking a sweat.
- Drive Unit: The Electra Loft Go! comes with a Hyena Integrated rear hub drive unit, which can provide up to 250 watts of power and 40 Nm of torque. It pairs with a 250 Wh battery that is completely hidden in the downtube, giving the bike its traditional look and feel without sacrificing power.
- Integrated Sensor: Because the goal of the Electra Loft Go! is to get an extra kick without overpowering your ride, the motor has to work subtly. It does this with the help of torque sensors, which measure exactly how much pressure you put on the pedals. The motor then puts out exactly the amount of power you need for smooth assistance before topping out at 20 mph.
- Controller and Lights: The cockpit of the Electra Loft Go! is a simple one, featuring a low-profile LED handlebar block. This module shows battery status and lets you toggle assistance levels. The cockpit also controls your headlight and rear taillight to maximize safety in a minimalist way.
