How we verified this directory — Milad Ghobadibeygvand, BScN
Seven e-bike makers' dealer maps were read to 10 miles around Daly City, with OpenStreetMap, Yelp, Superpages, Google Maps, every shop's own website and eight questions put to answer engines. The Census geocoder settled which addresses sit inside the city.
A store counts when a page it runs sells e-bikes or a maker's dealer map lists it for e-bikes. None inside Daly City qualified, so the seven floors within 5 miles are listed in full. Last verified October 8, 2026; next check April 2027.
Quick Answer
As of October 8, 2026, no store inside Daly City sells e-bikes. Seven e-bike floors stand within 5 miles, all in San Francisco: Ocean Cyclery on Ocean Avenue and Sports Basement at Stonestown inside 2 miles, then Valencia Cyclery, The New Wheel, American Cyclery, SF Wheels and Avenue Cyclery at 4.4 to 4.6 miles.
Pick the class you want with the buying guide before you go, and read the California law page with Daly City's sidewalk and park rules below.
Daly City had 101,418 residents in the Census Bureau's 2024 estimate, in San Mateo County. The houses on the cover are Westlake: the City's history page says builder Henry Doelger bought "some 600 acres of sand dunes and cabbage patches" and "built a community called Westlake, which was annexed to Daly City in 1948."
BART's Daly City station page places the city "at the northernmost edge of San Mateo County" and calls it the "Gateway to the Peninsula." Every e-bike floor near you stands across that edge, in San Francisco.
The 0 Verified eBike Shops in Daly City
Three businesses inside Daly City carry a bike listing that an answer engine, a directory or a map search tied to the city, and none of them sells e-bikes from a page it runs. If you want a new e-bike, you will be crossing into San Francisco, and the next section lists the seven floors closest to the city's Census point.
Tied to Daly City, named and not counted.
- Sporting goods: DICK'S Sporting Goods at 64 Serramonte Center, whose store page sells bikes and offers "bike repairs, tune-ups, accessory installations and more" but names no e-bike, and Big 5 Sporting Goods at 314 Gellert Blvd, a "Sporting goods store" on Google Maps.
- Not found: Broadmoor Bicycle Shop, which answer engines place at 150 San Pedro Rd or 164 School St. Google Maps lists no business at either address, and no directory, dealer map or website we read names it.
Set aside before those verdicts: an auto body shop on School Street that one directory filed under bicycle repair, an archery store on Junipero Serra Boulevard, and a bike-show listing at the Cow Palace.
Crossing into San Francisco to test-ride? Our buying guide breaks the choice into four decisions, starting with how you ride and which class suits it, so you arrive knowing what to ask for; every bike it recommends ships free to Daly City.

Taking Muni or a crowded BART car? Muni lets only folding bikes inside its buses and trains, and BART lets them into every car at all hours. The folding guide compares weight and folded size, and every bike in it ships free to Daly City.
See the folding picksBART, SamTrans, Muni and Bay Wheels — Taking Your eBike Through Daly City
BART's bike FAQ answers the first question: "Yes, Class 1, 2, and 3 e-bikes are allowed on BART, subject to the BART Bike rules." Its rules allow bikes "on all trains except in the first car or any crowded car," say "Folded bikes are allowed in all cars at all times," and bar riding a bike inside a station.
The Daly City station has "24 on-demand BikeLink lockers" and a Bay Wheels dock "on the St. Charles surface parking lot at 379 St Charles Ave," and SamTrans and Muni buses serve it.
SamTrans lets you carry an e-bike on its front racks: "Electric bikes (e-bikes) are only allowed on racks unless the racks are full," up to a "Weight: 55 pounds," a "Wheelbase: 44 inches" and a "Tire width: 2.3 inches." Muni's racks "cannot accommodate handlebars that exceed 42 inches, tires wider than 3 inches, tricycles, or motorized bikes," and only folding bikes ride inside.
Muni's rule names "motorized bikes" without saying whether a pedal-assist e-bike is one, so read it both ways: a Class 1 or 2 bike under 3-inch tires may be welcome on the rack, or a driver may refuse it. A folding e-bike carried inside avoids the question.
Bay Wheels, the bike share Lyft runs, has 8 of the 642 stations in its station feed inside Daly City by the Census geocoder, among them the BART station, Westlake Shopping Center and Mission Street at John Daly Boulevard.
Weigh your e-bike before you plan a SamTrans trip. The rack limit is 55 pounds and the tire limit 2.3 inches; BART takes all three classes as long as you skip the first car and crowded cars.
The John Daly Boulevard Path and Daly City's Parks
If you want a path away from traffic, the City's 2020 Walk Bike Daly City plan, adopted by the City Council on February 24, 2020, says the multi-use path along the south side of John Daly Boulevard "may be considered the only existing Class I facility in Daly City," in "two 0.4 mile segments separated by a gap in front of Westlake Shopping Center."
The park rules
City parks "shall be closed to the public between sunset and sunrise the following morning" under § 12.36.020. Section 12.36.050(K) bars anyone in a park from operating "any vehicle, whether licensed or unlicensed under the provisions of the Vehicle Code of the state, except upon areas designated."
The parks chapter does not define "vehicle." Vehicle Code § 670 excepts "a device moved exclusively by human power," so a pedal bicycle is not one, while an e-bike also moves under its motor, so read § 12.36.050(K) both ways and walk the bike on a park path unless it is posted open to bikes. A parks violation is an infraction under § 12.36.090, "A fine not exceeding fifty dollars for a first violation."
Walk your e-bike through city parks, and leave by sunset. The park rule's "any vehicle" may reach an e-bike, and the parks close between sunset and sunrise.
California and Daly City eBike Laws — What Makes an eBike Legal in Daly City
California sets the classes and the age line. Daly City's code adds rules for every bicycle and one sidewalk rule that may reach an e-bike, and names no electric bicycle at all.
The state's definition and classes
Vehicle Code § 312.5(a) defines an e-bike as a bicycle with "fully operable pedals and an electric motor that does not exceed 750 watts of power."
| Class | Motor help | Assist stops at | Rider |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Only while pedaling | 20 mph | Any age; helmet under 18 |
| 2 | Pedaling or throttle | 20 mph | Any age; helmet under 18 |
| 3 | Only while pedaling; speedometer | 28 mph | 16 and up; every rider in a helmet |
Check for the permanent label § 312.5(c) requires, with "the classification number, top assisted speed, and motor wattage." Under § 24016(b), "an electric bicycle is not a motor vehicle," so it needs no plate or registration from the state.
Section 21213 keeps riders under 16 off Class 3, and § 21212 requires "a properly fitted and fastened bicycle helmet" on anyone under 18. The Daly City Police Department's Bicycle Safety page prints the same helmet rule and says "Bicyclists are subject to the same laws that apply to vehicles."
What Daly City's code says
Chapter 10.52 sets three rules you follow on any bicycle. Under § 10.52.020, a bike built for one carries no "additional persons"; § 10.52.030 requires "an adequate white headlight on the front thereof and a red light or red reflector on the rear" at night; and § 10.52.040 bars clinging to a moving vehicle.
Section 10.44.060 says "The driver of a vehicle shall not drive within any sidewalk area," and § 10.04.170 defines a vehicle "except a device moved by human power." A pedal bike is outside that definition. An e-bike is not moved by human power alone, so the rule may reach it or may not, and the City's code and its police guidance do not say which; ride in the street rather than on the sidewalk.
A search of the whole code, Supplement 38, for "electric bicycle," "e-bike" and "motorized bicycle" returns no section.
What a violation can cost
Under § 1.12.010, a code violation is an infraction, punishable by "A fine not exceeding one hundred dollars for a first violation," rising to $200 and then $500 for repeats within a year. Under § 1.12.020, a violation that continues after you have been told it is unlawful is a misdemeanor, with "a fine not exceeding $1000 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months."
What changes on January 1, 2027
From January 1, 2027, AB 2346, Chapter 842, sets a prima facie limit of 10 miles per hour on a sidewalk. From January 1, 2027, SB 1167, Chapter 846, bars selling "A vehicle with motor power of more than 750 watts" as an e-bike; both take effect under the state Constitution's art. IV, § 8(c)(1).
Before your first Daly City ride: check the class label, keep Class 3 for riders 16 and up, put a helmet on every rider under 18, light the bike at night, and ride in the street rather than on the sidewalk.
Riding to BART or into the city every day? The commuter guide matches a bike to your ride, with sections of its own for hills, for rain and winter, for a bike light enough to carry, and for folding onto a bus or train.
See the commuter picksWhere to Ride Your eBike in Daly City
The street is open to every class: under § 21200, a rider "has all the rights" of a driver. Daly City's code adds the sidewalk and park rules above.
Your Daly City riding checklist
- Read the label for 750 W or less, and look for working pedals before you buy.
- Ride in the street, with all the rights of a driver, not on the sidewalk.
- Walk the bike on park paths, and leave the parks by sunset.
- Carry a passenger only on a seat built for one.
- Use a white headlight and a red light or reflector after dark.
- Weigh the bike before you count on a SamTrans rack.
Rebates
The state. California's E-Bike Incentive Project "began in December 2022 and concluded in December 2025."
WestLight Energy. WestLight, whose old Peninsula Clean Energy address now forwards to westlightenergy.org, offers "up to $1,000 to purchase a new e-bike" to eligible customers "in San Mateo County and the City of Los Banos," and its rebate page said on October 8, 2026 that the program "is temporarily paused" and expects "to relaunch later this year." Sports Basement Stonestown is on its list of participating shops.
Why buy from us instead
If none of the seven floors has the bike you want, or you would rather skip the trip into the city, Redtail's shipping policy promises "free shipping on every electric bike within the contiguous United States," a Daly City address included.
Report shipping damage within 48 hours and, per How Buying Works, "we file the carrier claim for you." If a bike will not power on or charge, the refund policy says "we coordinate repair or replacement remotely," and you can pay with Shop Pay Installments, whose terms depend on the bike's price.
Buying a first e-bike for yourself or a teenager? The first-bike guide starts from four numbers and explains where a Class 1, 2 or 3 is allowed to go, and its picks ship free to Daly City.
Start with the first-bike guideFrequently Asked Questions — Daly City, CA eBikes
Is there a bike shop in Daly City?
Not one that sells e-bikes as of October 8, 2026. DICK'S at Serramonte Center sells bikes and does bike repairs and tune-ups, Big 5 on Gellert Boulevard sells sporting goods, and the nearest e-bike floors are Ocean Cyclery on Ocean Avenue and Sports Basement at Stonestown, 1.6 and 1.9 miles away in San Francisco.
Does Big 5 in Daly City sell e-bikes?
Its Google Maps listing calls the Gellert Boulevard store a sporting goods store and names no e-bike. Call (650) 994-3688 before you go, or start at Ocean Cyclery, 1.6 miles away.
Where can you rent a bike in Daly City?
Bay Wheels runs 8 bike-share stations inside the city, including one at the Daly City BART station. For a longer test, SF Wheels on Cole Street rents e-bikes, with its home page offering "E-Bike Rentals Only $69."
Where are the bike trails in Daly City?
The 2020 Walk Bike Daly City plan counts one Class I path, along the south side of John Daly Boulevard, in two 0.4-mile pieces. City parks bar "any vehicle" outside designated areas and close at sunset, so walk your bike on park paths and leave before dark.
Is Daly City part of San Francisco?
No. The Census Bureau's 2024 estimates file places Daly City city in San Mateo County, and San Francisco's City Hall is 5.9 miles away by straight line.
What is Daly City known for?
Westlake, the neighborhood you see on the cover. The City's history page says Henry Doelger "built a community called Westlake, which was annexed to Daly City in 1948."
More from the U.S. eBike Directory
San Francisco's City Hall is 5.9 miles north-northeast of Daly City's center point, and San Mateo's page is 12.9 miles southeast.

The denominator
Daly City had 101,418 residents in the Census Bureau's 2024 vintage estimate (California file, row "Daly City city"), against a 2020 estimates base of 105,049.
Three bike listings inside the city were tied to it by at least one source: 0 verified, 2 sporting-goods stores and 1 that could not be found. An auto body shop, an archery store and a bike-show listing were set aside first.
Every lead from the directories, map searches, answer engines and dealer maps that a map could place was measured from the Census point; the 42 outside the city and inside 5 miles were each given a verdict, as were 5 names no source could place. Seven distinct e-bike floors stand within 5 miles, none of them inside the city.
The sources, and what each one could and could not do
Seven makers' dealer maps were read to 10 miles on October 7, 2026, each beside a control: Velotric, Aventon, Giant, Bosch, Specialized, Trek and Pedego's California directory. Bosch's map still lists two closed San Francisco shops, so every listing was checked against Google Maps.
Directories and AI search. OpenStreetMap was read as a lead pool, never a count, with Yelp, Superpages and Google Maps in a browser. Seven answer engines were asked eight questions: Perplexity and Bing's Copilot search answered all eight and Brave three on October 8, Google's AI Mode all eight on October 10, and the other three could not be read. Every business the engines named or cited was read and given a verdict.
The city code was searched whole on Municode, Supplement 38, for 17 terms, and every hit was read: "bicycle" returned 10 sections and "electric bicycle," "e-bike" and "motorized bicycle" returned none.
City limits
Every address placed inside Daly City here returned "Daly City city" from the Census geocoder, Serramonte Center included. Mileages are straight lines from the Census Gazetteer point; San Francisco's own point lies offshore, so its distance is measured to City Hall.
Limitations
- Broadmoor Bicycle Shop rests on answer engines alone; if it is open at another address, it is missing here.
- The seven floors' stock changes week to week, and two are listed on maker maps rather than their own pages, so call before you drive.
- Muni's "motorized bikes" and the City's park and sidewalk "vehicle" rules are read from their words; no court ruling or city guidance on e-bikes was found.
- WestLight's rebate says only that it expects to relaunch "later this year," and its terms may change.
- A bike shop that no directory, map search or answer engine returned could be missing from the 5-mile ring.
- Seventeen businesses the answer engines named or cited were given verdicts on October 10, 2026; the five inside 5 miles are a closed campus bike barn, a market and a kiosk that rent bikes, a volunteer repair co-op and a parts wholesaler, and the floor count did not change.
What would age this page
- A bike shop opening in Daly City, or one of the seven floors closing or moving.
- The City amending Chapters 10.44, 10.52 or 12.36, or Muni defining "motorized bikes."
- WestLight reopening its rebate; January 1, 2027, when AB 2346 and SB 1167 take effect.
