Murf electric bikes are known as “some of the most fun” e-bikes on the market and for good reasons. With a 52-volt battery, adjustable class modes for more or less pedal assistance, and the ability to customize your own Murf with cargo racks, surfboard racks, and seats for your little ones, who wouldn’t want to take one out for a cruise. 

Plus, if you purchase one from us here at Leucadia Cyclery you get to take advantage of a 2-year warranty and our excellent customer service! 

Today, we go over why you should get a Murf e-bike as well as what you need to know about all the Murf e-bikes we offer here at Leucadia Cyclery. 

What You Need to Know About Murf E-Bikes

Founded in 2016 in San Clemente, CA, Murf electric bikes are designed with style for comfort and performance. 

With a 52V battery for improved acceleration and easy hill climbing, you get a lot of power with these e-bikes. LED headlights make it easy to ride off-road or at night, and their fat tires (what they're known for) provide maximum comfort on various terrain. Plus, all Murf e-bikes come with a 2-year warranty (we know isn't that amazing?!).
