The Story
The Modern Scrambler.
The scrambler was born in 1960s Britain — stripped-down motorcycles ripped off tarmac and turned onto dirt tracks. No boundaries. No rules. The Outsider carries that spirit into the electric age. It's the bike for riders who don't pick a lane. Wide handlebars. Knobby tires. An upright riding position that lets you take in every inch of the world you're riding through. Under the tank: a Bafang motor and Samsung battery that'll take you 60+ km on a single charge. Over the handlebars: whatever road you choose next.

Outsider MX — weekend warrior
“Takes everything I throw at it. Light trails, gravel roads, city streets — the MX handles all of it. The 750W motor pulls hard and the suspension is comfortable for longer rides.”

Outsider is incredible
“I've owned a lot of bikes and this is something else. The scrambler styling is dead-on, and it handles better than I expected. The hydraulic brakes are a huge deal — stops on a dime.”

Are Michael Blast electric bicycles street legal in Canada?
Yes. All Michael Blast e-bikes are classified as power-assisted bicycles (PABs) under Canadian federal law — motor under 500W, max assist speed of 32 km/h. No licence, registration, or insurance required in most provinces. Always confirm your local provincial rules.
Can I ride a Michael Blast electric bicycle in the US?
Yes. Michael Blast ships free to the United States, and all models comply with US Class 1/2 e-bike definitions. We accept USD pricing directly on our site.
What is the range of a Michael Blast electric bicycle?
Range varies by model and riding conditions, but most Michael Blast e-bikes deliver 40–80 km per charge on a full battery. Pedal-assist mode significantly extends range compared to full throttle.
What makes Michael Blast retro electric bikes different?

Michael Blast is built around a specific aesthetic — vintage motorcycle heritage, real metal components, and silhouettes drawn from board trackers, café racers, and scramblers. The result is a retro electric bike that looks nothing like everything else on the bike path.
How long does shipping take?
Michael Blast electric bikes typically ship within 5 business days. Delivery across Canada and the US usually takes 5–10 business days after dispatch. The battery ships separately and arrives within 1–2 days of the bike.
Do you offer a warranty on your electric bicycles?
Yes — every Michael Blast electric bicycle ships with a 3-year frame warranty, 2-year coverage on the battery and motor, and 1-year coverage on the controller and other components. Our team is reachable by phone and email for any post-purchase support.
