To us, that means our products are…
SAFE
With significant advancements and breakthrough technologies, our platform delivers a safe journey experience like none other. Blending trike-like stability with bike-like performance, our unique combination of adaptive power, balance-assisted active stability, integrated security, high carrying capacity, and fifty percent better braking ability sets a new eBike standard for local living.
PRACTICAL
The experience of riding a bike is one that we all share, and nearly everyone loves, but not when running errands or riding with a loved one. Because we live local lifestyles like you, we design our eBikes to be shared with others and to work effortlessly – whatever the occasion. Our intuitive app and simple accessories improve flexibility, tailoring experiences to changing daily needs.
STYLISH
We prize the implicit sustainability of iconic design and advocate for personal and cultural simplification. Creating products of lasting value means solving real-world problems with beautiful lines and getting the details right. Our manufacturing standards require precision methods and performance materials that deliver the utmost quality, lasting season after season.

The Coming Wave
Today’s transportation patterns are changing. As automobile ownership costs have skyrocketed, 90% of all daily trips are now 8.5 miles or less. People once flocked to Uber to go local, yet ride-share prices have increased by 200% in recent years.
eBikes are natural alternatives. They are lower-cost, healthier, and self-empowering options that cut through traffic.
Cycle infrastructure built along main streets and residential neighborhoods accelerates eBike popularity, boosting ridership by up to 200%. Cities like Austin and San Fransisco have long since invested in this infrastructure. Emerging markets like San Diego and Los Angeles are using “Complete Streets” funding to build it from the ground up, blazing new roads for Valence.

The Problem
Current eBikes force us to limit and adapt behavior around stubborn engineering initially created for recreational activities like mountain riding or road racing. Manufacturers build to pricepoint segments, offer little meaningful differentiation, and leave customers' real-world needs for someone else to solve. Their products may work well for the needs of a single rider with minimal cargo but lack support for daily errands, activities, a passenger, and life in the real world.
With all the downsides of a kid's bike, people think eBikes are little more than expensive toys with low-value propositions. 67% think eBikes are impractical and lack the dedicated and safe storage or passenger space they need for daily transportation. 96% think eBikes are dangerous when adapted for increased functionality. They think eBikes are unstable when loading or riding slowly with the extra weight of a passenger, kids, or cargo—the conditions when most crashes happen. Without the functionality and safety systems their cars possess, people think today’s eBikes are not realistic alternatives.
