Winter Is the Smartest Time to Buy an Electric Bike (Here’s Why)

Winter Is the Smartest Time to Buy an Electric Bike (Here’s Why)

If you’re thinking about getting an electric bike, dirt bike, scooter, or motorcycle this year, here’s the inside scoop most riders learn the hard way:

Winter is the best time to buy.

While most people wait for warm weather, experienced riders and smart buyers scoop up the best deals before spring hits. And right now? You’re in the sweet spot.

Spring Riding Season = Higher Prices + Limited Inventory

As soon as the weather turns and riding season starts:

  • Demand spikes fast

  • Popular models sell out

  • Prices go up

  • Lead times stretch from days to weeks (or months)

Every year we see the same pattern — riders show up in April or May ready to buy, only to find that the most popular bikes are gone or no longer discounted.

Buying in winter means you skip the rush and lock in value before everyone else wakes up.

Dealer Demo Models = Massive Value

Right now, we’re clearing space for incoming spring inventory, which means we’ve started listing dealer demo models across multiple categories.

These bikes:

  • Were closely watched and professionally maintained

  • Were fully inspected by the Radmoto team

  • Are mechanically solid and ride-ready

  • Come with significant savings vs new

Even better — pricing on demo models is negotiable. If you’ve been waiting for a deal, this is where real flexibility exists.

Discounts Across the Entire PEV Spectrum

Winter deals aren’t just for one category. We’re seeing savings across:

  • Electric scooters

  • Electric bikes

  • Electric pit bikes & mini motos

  • Electric dirt bikes

  • Full-size electric motorcycles

Whether you’re looking for a commuter, a trail shredder, or a full-on electric moto, winter inventory brings the best price-to-performance ratio of the year.

Buy Now, Ride Later (or Ride All Winter)

Another perk? You don’t have to ride immediately.

Many customers buy now to:

  • Lock in a deal

  • Store the bike until spring

  • Upgrade or customize during the off-season

  • Be 100% ready when riding weather returns in ~2 months

Nothing beats rolling into spring already dialed while everyone else is scrambling.

Bottom Line

If you want:

  • Better pricing

  • More negotiating power

  • Access to demo and discounted models

  • Avoid spring sellouts

Winter is the move.

Inventory is limited, deals are real, and once spring hits — this window closes fast.
