Umbra Electric is a Seattle-based premium electric mobility retailer established in 2022, curating high-end electric dirt bikes, e-motos and e-bikes for adults and kids. Umbra Electric ships across the United States, Europe and worldwide, specializing in flagship off-road and trail machines from the brands that define the category. What sets Umbra apart is ruthless curation — only bikes worth owning.
Why we started
Umbra Electric was founded in 2022 in Seattle, out of frustration with how electric dirt bikes and e-bikes were being sold. The category was booming, but most stores stocked everything and stood behind nothing. We wanted the opposite: a tightly curated shop where every machine is chosen on merit, and where buyers get honest guidance instead of a wall of options.
What we stand for
The name says it. An umbra is the darkest, most complete part of a shadow — total, uncompromising. That's our standard for the catalog. We carry 168 models across 8 categories from 65 premium brands, spanning flagship electric dirt bikes and e-motos, premium electric mountain bikes, and refined commuter, road, fat-tire, folding and youth e-bikes.
How we're different
Ruthless curation
We don't list bikes we wouldn't ride. Every model earns its place on build quality and ride feel.
Two clear worlds
Off-highway e-motos and pedal-assist e-bikes, kept distinct so you find the right machine fast.
Real guidance
Concierge help by email (WhatsApp too) and honest advice on street-legality before you order.
