Bike Shops in Rialto CA: 1 Verified eBike Store

Rialto is a San Bernardino County city of 104,918 people in the Census Bureau's 2024 estimate. The church on the cover is the First Christian Church of Rialto at 201 N. Riverside Avenue, which its National Register record lists under the Late Gothic Revival style.

The congregation dedicated it on July 7, 1907, and its nomination says the building "combines the late Gothic Revival style with elements of the Craftsman style." Today the City of Rialto owns it, and the Rialto Historical Society has run it since 1974.

The 1 Verified eBike Shop in Rialto

One store inside the city sells e-bikes on its own website, and it sits on Riverside Avenue, the street the church on the cover faces. Three more businesses carry a bike listing in Rialto without being a store you can count.

Don's Bicycles — 384 South Riverside Avenue

Address: 384 S Riverside Ave, Rialto, CA 92376
Phone: (909) 875-7310
Website: donsbikeshop.com
Brands: Specialized and Aima e-bikes priced on its home page; Bosch's dealer map lists the store
Hours: Monday to Saturday 10 a.m.–6 p.m., Sunday 11 a.m.–4 p.m., per Google Maps
Focus: a full bike shop with an Electric Bikes department, 1.9 miles from the city's center point. Evidence grade: site checked.

The shop calls itself "Your Bike Shop Since 1959," and its site lists a second store in Redlands. Bosch's dealer map lists "DON'S BICYCLES - RIALTO" at the same address, and Specialized's store finder lists it with the Turbo e-bike feature. The state's archived rebate-retailer list carried it too.

If you ride there, stay in the street for the last block. The store sits 0.15 miles north of Merrill Avenue, inside the downtown stretch of Riverside Avenue where § 9.25.040 bars riding a bicycle on the sidewalk.

Also tied to Rialto, named and not counted.

• A listing whose chain names no Rialto store: Mr. Bike Shop at 447 W Foothill Blvd appears on Google Maps, Yelp and OpenStreetMap with the phone number of MR. Bike Shop in Huntington Park. The chain's own locations page lists one store: "MR. Bike Shop 2207 E. Florence Ave. Huntington Park, CA 90255." Call before you drive.
• Repair, not sales: Jimmy's Mobile E-Bike Repair, which Google Maps lists as a bicycle repair shop at 266 W Jackson St. It publishes no site and sells no bikes.
• A chain floor: Walmart Supercenter #1862 at 1366 S Riverside Ave, whose bike-shop page offers bikes "From mountain bikes to e-bikes to fixies."

Just Outside Rialto — Bike Shops in San Bernardino and Rancho Cucamonga

Closer, and not counted. Hector Bike Shop in Fontana, 3.0 miles away, has two parked domains and no page of its own. El Orejon Bike Shop and Eddie's Bike Shop in San Bernardino, 5.1 and 5.3 miles away, are a repair shop and a shop with no site of its own.

Just past 10 miles. HOVSCO and TST share an Ontario location 10.1 miles away, and Cyclery USA's Rancho Cucamonga store sits at 10.7. The directory's Fontana page, 4.2 miles west, and its San Bernardino page, 5.7 miles east, are the nearest city pages.

Omnitrans and Metrolink — eBikes on Rialto Transit

Omnitrans buses take your e-bike on the front rack, the sbX buses carry it inside, and Metrolink's trains cap tire width at 2.6 inches, which rules out a 4-inch fat tire.

Omnitrans buses. Per the agency's riding guide, "Electric and folding bikes with lithium batteries are allowed on the bike rack, or onboard sbX vehicles." Some buses carry two bikes and some three, you load only at designated stops, and "The tire size of your bicycle must be at least 20″ in diameter."

sbX. "Each sbX vehicle holds up to four bicycles inside," per Omnitrans. Children under 14 may use the racks only with a bus-riding adult.

Metrolink. The bike rules admit "Electric bicycles with pedals and manufacturer-installed sealed batteries," powered off and never charged on board. The limits are "32 inches wide x 58 inches long" and a "Maximum tire width: 2.6 inches." Rialto's station is at 261 S. Palm Ave., per its station page.

Metrolink's January 2026 update says "10 of our bike cars are temporarily out of service," so not every train has one.

The Pacific Electric Trail — Rialto's Trailhead and the Extension East

The Pacific Electric Trail reaches Rialto at Cactus Avenue, and the City has approved its extension east to Pepper Avenue.

The trailhead at Cactus Avenue

Google Maps lists the Pacific Electric Bike Trail's Rialto trailhead as a park at 198 N Cactus Ave, open 24 hours. Westward, the trail crosses Fontana and Rancho Cucamonga, and the directory's Rancho Cucamonga page measures its stretch there.

The extension to Pepper Avenue

The City's environmental record, State Clearinghouse 2025100109, describes a Pacific Electric Trail "along the former Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) track Right-of-Way," funded by the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority. It runs "from Cactus Avenue to Pepper Avenue."

Its Notice of Determination shows the City approved the project on November 25, 2025. The record does not say when construction starts, so check with the City before you plan a ride east of Cactus.

Whether Rialto's motor rule reaches the trail

State law lets a city close a recreational trail to e-bikes. Under Vehicle Code § 21207.5(b), a local authority "may prohibit, by ordinance, the operation of an electric bicycle or any class of electric bicycle on that trail." The laws section below explains why Rialto's 1975 motor-driven cycle chapter may already do that.

California eBike Laws — What Makes an eBike Legal in Rialto

California's Vehicle Code decides what your bike is, who may ride which class and who wears a helmet. Rialto's code never says "e-bike," so its bicycle chapter and its 1975 motor-driven cycle chapter are the ones you need to read.

The state definition

Under Vehicle Code § 312.5(a), "An 'electric bicycle' is a bicycle equipped with fully operable pedals and an electric motor that does not exceed 750 watts of power."

Section 312.5(d) adds that a vehicle "intended by the manufacturer to be modifiable" past 20 mph on motor power alone, or past 750 watts, is no e-bike and "shall not be advertised, sold, offered for sale, or labeled" as one. Ask the seller, in writing, before you buy anything sold as unlockable.

Your legal e-bike is not a motor vehicle: § 24016(b) says "an electric bicycle is not a motor vehicle," so you need no license, registration or plate. Its (d) bars you from changing the bike's speed capability unless it still meets the definition and you replace its class label, and its (e) bars selling a device that takes a bike outside the definition.

Riding in traffic, § 21200 hands you the same rights and duties as the driver of any vehicle. The § 24016(b) exemption from "financial responsibility" means § 16020's proof-of-insurance rule does not reach you, so ask your home or renter's insurer about the bike.

Section 21213 holds the fast class back: "A person under 16 years of age shall not operate a class 3 electric bicycle." For a bareheaded rider under 18, § 21212 sets a fine of "not more than twenty-five dollars ($25)."

Your child's citation is your bill too: § 21212(e)(2) makes the parent "jointly and severally liable" for it. Show the issuing agency a helmet that meets the standard within 120 days and, where the local authorities offer one, proof of an e-bike safety course, and § 21212(f) keeps it out of court with no § 40611 fee.

Rialto's downtown sidewalk rule, § 9.25.040

The Rialto Municipal Code on Municode is "Codified through Ordinance No. 1713, passed April 28, 2026." Its § 9.25.040(A) reads: "It shall be unlawful for any person to ride or propel any bicycle or other such similar device upon any sidewalk in downtown."

• Where downtown is. Section 9.25.020 defines it as "the commercial area along and upon Riverside Avenue from Merrill Avenue on the south to Foothill Boulevard on the north."
• What an officer does. Under § 9.25.080, a rider who keeps riding after an order to stop is cited, and the officer "shall confiscate the person's bike."
• The penalty. Section 9.25.090 makes any violation of the chapter a misdemeanor.

The 1975 motor-driven cycle rule, § 10.57.030

Rialto's chapter on motorcycles defines a "motor driven cycle" in § 10.57.020(B) to include "every bicycle with motor attached." Section 10.57.030(A) then bars one "upon any public sidewalk, walkway, parkway or in any public park or recreational area or upon any other publicly owned property, except highways."

The chapter's penalty, § 10.57.070, is a misdemeanor with a fine "of not less than one hundred dollars but not exceeding one thousand dollars," or up to thirty days in jail.

Whether § 10.57.030 reaches your e-bike

Read on its words, your e-bike is a bicycle with a motor attached, so the rule keeps it off every sidewalk, walkway, park and city-owned path, the Pacific Electric Trail's Rialto stretch included. On the other reading, the chapter came from Ordinance 687 in 1975, sits beside rules for motorcycles and motor scooters, and the state now defines an e-bike as "a bicycle" in § 312.5.

The code gives no answer, so treat Rialto's sidewalks, parks and city paths as closed to riding your e-bike until the City says otherwise.

Parks and the old bicycle license

• City parks. Under § 2.45.050(D), "No person shall operate or park any vehicle as defined in the California Vehicle Code within a park, except upon areas designated for such use." The state's § 670 excludes only a device "moved exclusively by human power," which an e-bike is not.
• The license rule. Section 10.56.020 still requires a city bicycle license, but the state's § 39002(a) says a city "shall not prohibit the operation of an unlicensed bicycle."

Rialto's general penalty, § 1.16.010, makes a code violation a misdemeanor punishable by "a fine of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) or by imprisonment of six months." Charged as an infraction instead, your first violation costs $100.

What changes on January 1, 2027

The Governor signed two bills on September 30, 2026, and under the California Constitution's Article IV, § 8 both take effect on January 1, 2027. From January 1, 2027, a sidewalk where riding is allowed carries "10 miles per hour" as "the prima facie speed limit for a sidewalk," under AB 2346, Chapter 842.

From January 1, 2027, SB 1167, Chapter 846, adds a vehicle "with motor power of more than 750 watts" to those that may not be sold or labeled as an e-bike.

Where to Ride Your eBike in Rialto

Ride any legal class on the streets and in the bike lanes under § 21200, and plan every other route around the two city rules above.

Your Rialto riding checklist

• Ride the street or the bike lane through downtown, Merrill Avenue to Foothill Boulevard.
• Walk your e-bike on sidewalks and through city parks.
• Check the City's word on the Pacific Electric Trail before you ride it.
• Measure your tires before the train: Metrolink stops at 2.6 inches wide.
• Buckle a helmet on every rider under 18, and on yourself whenever the bike is a Class 3.

The City's e-bike share

Rialto ebikes, a site that carries Drop Mobility's name, rents pedal-assist bikes by the minute. On pay as you go you "pay $1.00 to unlock the bike and are charged $0.15 per minute for use"; the $20 monthly plan "includes 60 minutes of free ride time per day."

Veterans, seniors 55 and older and riders enrolled in CalFresh or Medicaid pay $5 a month, per the share's site. "All riders must be at least 18 years of age," and "All trips must end in a hub." The site adds that "Long Term Lending E-Bike Subscriptions are available."

The state's air board lists a $1,493,707 voucher for the City's "first zero-emission e-bike share program," status "Awarded," with a note that its page "will be updated once the voucher agreement has been executed."

Rebates

South Coast AQMD. Rialto is on the district's jurisdiction list, so its Replace Your Ride program reaches owners "who meet the income and vehicle requirements," and "an applicant can select an e-Bike" in place of a car.

For that option, the district's e-bike page says "the program will cover up to $7,500," paid to the e-bike shop, for a bike with "a motor rating of 750W or less."

The state. Sacramento's own e-bike rebate is closed: the California E-Bike Incentive Project "began in December 2022 and concluded in December 2025," so a Rialto buyer looks to the district's program instead.

Why buy from us instead

Rialto has one confirmed e-bike floor, so the bike you want may not be on it. Redtail's shipping policy gives free shipping on "every electric bike within the contiguous United States," a Rialto address included.

If a new bike will not power on or charge, the refund policy sends that claim to us, and "we coordinate repair or replacement remotely." Report shipping damage within 48 hours and we file the carrier claim for you; Shop Pay Installments are offered at checkout.

Every other California city page sits in the California shop directory.

What to re-check before you ride

• The Pacific Electric Trail, with the City, for an e-bike rule and the extension's progress.
• Mr. Bike Shop's Foothill listing, by phone, before you drive to it.

You will find it at 384 S Riverside Ave, 0.15 miles north of Merrill Avenue, open Monday to Saturday 10 to 6 and Sunday 11 to 4, per Google Maps. Its site calls it "Your Bike Shop Since 1959" and lists a second store at 700 E Redlands Blvd in Redlands.

Is Mr. Bike Shop in Rialto?

A listing at 447 W Foothill Blvd says so, but the chain's own locations page names one store, at 2207 E. Florence Ave. in Huntington Park, and the Rialto listing carries that store's phone number. Call (323) 979-8931 and confirm the Foothill address before you drive.

Who repairs e-bikes in Rialto?

Don's Bicycles lists "Bike Service & Repair" on its own site and asks you to "Call ahead to make an appointment." Jimmy's Mobile E-Bike Repair, listed at 266 W Jackson St with (909) 550-9074 on Google Maps, is a repair service that sells no bikes.

How does the Rialto e-bike share work?

You unlock a Rialto ebikes bike in its app for $1 plus 15 cents a minute, or pay $20 a month for 60 free minutes a day. You must be 18, and every trip ends at a hub. Veterans, seniors 55 and older and CalFresh or Medicaid enrollees pay $5 a month.

Can you ride an e-bike on the sidewalk in Rialto?

Not on Riverside Avenue's downtown sidewalks, Merrill Avenue to Foothill Boulevard, where § 9.25.040 bars riding any bicycle. Elsewhere, § 10.57.030 bars a motor-driven cycle from public sidewalks, and § 10.57.020 counts "every bicycle with motor attached" as one, so walk your e-bike on every Rialto sidewalk.

Where can you ride an e-bike trail in Rialto?

The Pacific Electric Trail starts at the Cactus Avenue trailhead and runs west toward Fontana, and the City approved an extension east to Pepper Avenue in November 2025. Rialto's 1975 rule may close city paths to any bicycle with a motor attached, so ask the City first.

Sources, limitations and how this page was verified

The denominator

Rialto had 104,918 residents in the Census Bureau's 2024 vintage estimate (California file, row "Rialto city"), against a 2020 estimates base of 103,931.

Four businesses were tied to Rialto by at least one source: 1 verified, 1 listing whose chain names no Rialto store, 1 mobile repair service and 1 chain floor.

Before verdicts, a shoe chain, a forklift repairer and a barbecue outlet matched on words were set aside, along with the City's e-bike share dock that OpenStreetMap tags as a rental.

The sources, and what each one could and could not do

Seven makers' dealer maps were read on October 4, 2026, each with a control: Velotric, Aventon, Giant, Bosch, Specialized, Trek and Pedego's California directory, to 10 miles. Trek's 10-mile page returned no store, and a 50-mile control returned stores beyond the ring.

The directory's neighboring city pages were read for the floors they verify, and each one within 10 miles was re-read at its own site on October 5, 2026. San Bernardino's page supplied Chaparral Motorsports and Topline RV and Marine.

OpenStreetMap relation 6581672 returned 4 objects inside Rialto: Don's, the Mr. Bike Shop listing, a barbecue outlet and an e-bike share dock, so the map is a lead and never a count here.

Directories and AI search. Yelp, Superpages and Google Maps were read in a browser. Eight questions went to eight answer engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google's AI Mode and Google's chat assistant answered all eight, Bing seven, Brave none, and Copilot showed a sign-in wall.

ChatGPT answered as if the asker were in Waterloo, Ontario: it named CYCLE ELECTRIC INC, for which a Rialto map search returns only electricians, and RedSky Escooters & Ebikes, a store in another country, and gave Waterloo trails. Google's AI Mode placed a Jimmy'z repair service in Virginia.

The city code was read on Municode, Supplement 39, current through Ordinance No. 1713 of April 28, 2026; a search for "electric bicycle," "e-bike," "motorized bicycle" and "motorized scooter" returned no section.

City limits

Every Rialto street address named here returned "Rialto city" from the Census geocoder. Mileages run from the Census 2024 Gazetteer's internal point for Rialto city; road miles run longer.

Don's position on the downtown stretch comes from the same geocoder: the store sits at latitude 34.0944, Merrill Avenue meets Riverside at 34.0923 and Foothill Boulevard at 34.1067. For the cover, the church's address and the photograph's camera point both returned "Rialto city."

Limitations

1. Whether § 10.57.030 reaches an e-bike is unsettled; the page prints both readings and the cautious one.
2. Mr. Bike Shop's Foothill listing could not be tied to the chain's own words, so it is not counted.
3. The trail extension's construction date is not in the State Clearinghouse record.
4. Chaparral Motorsports' stock was not read item by item; its eBike page names brands, so call first.
5. Re-verification is due April 2027, or sooner if a shop opens or closes inside Rialto.

What would age this page

• A store opening or closing inside Rialto, or Mr. Bike Shop naming its Foothill address on its own site.
• The City adding an e-bike rule to Chapter 9.25 or Chapter 10.57, or posting one for the Pacific Electric Trail.
• January 1, 2027, when AB 2346 and SB 1167 take effect.

Image credit: the cover scene was generated with Nano Banana Pro on Playcut and its type set in Playcut Brush afterward. What the church looks like was checked against its National Register nomination and Oleknutlee's public-domain photograph on Wikimedia Commons before the prompt; the frame holds no rider and no bicycle, and lettering the model drew on two small signs and a figure it drew into a window were retouched out.
