The Story
The Cruiser Spirit.
The beach cruiser emerged from sun-soaked California boardwalks, where riders glided along the coast with laid-back style and effortless cool. The goal wasn't just getting there — it was enjoying the ride. The Vacay captures that spirit in a step-through electric frame. The swept-back handlebars. The elongated tank. The low, clean lines. Designed for riders who want to look as good standing still as they do moving. Whether you're Lo-Step into the saddle for an easy Sunday morning or pushing the dual-battery range to its limit, the Vacay makes every ride feel like it belongs in a film.

Common questions
Questions, answered.
What is the range of the Vacay?
The Vacay is rated for Up to 65 km (40 mi) on a full charge from its Samsung Li-Ion 48V 13Ah (removable) battery. Real-world range depends on rider weight, terrain, assist level and how much you use the throttle.
How fast does the Vacay go?
The Vacay is limited to 32 km/h (20 mph). Check your province or state rules for where that class of e-bike may ride.
How long does the Vacay take to charge?
A full charge takes about 4–5 hours with the supplied charger. The battery is removable, so you can charge it on or off the bike.
What motor does the Vacay use?
The Vacay is powered by a Bafang 500W Rear Hub, with 5-level pedal assist.
What brakes does the Vacay have?
It stops on Hydraulic Star Union.
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?
Most e-bikes prioritize utility over identity. 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.
