Zen Electric Bikes is a North-American E-bike enterprise headquartered in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Our goal is to build high-quality E-bikes to enable the growth of electrified transportation in North America. E-bikes are the future, as one of the most efficient and environmentally-friendly modes of transport. Whether it is recreational, adventure or commuting, E-bikes are the answer.

When developing our brand, we chose to name our company “Zen” to capture the whole experience of our E-bike journey, and reflect on our roots as humanity. We want our community to have a Zen-like experience; positive, harmonious with nature and uplifting. What many don’t yet understand is that E-bikes come with an incredible sense of freedom and endless possibilities to explore, while reducing carbon footprint and enhancing one’s mental and physical health.
