The Ride Cafe

About

The Ride Cafe in Melrose is an e-bike and family travel shop that sells, rents and repairs bikes while serving cold brew. It stocks and sells Aventon e-bikes and is a dealer for Strider and Benno bikes, and customers can test ride during open hours or by appointment. The goal is to make trips easier and more enjoyable and to help build a vibrant local bike community.

The service side handles repairs, tune-ups, assembly and fittings for all kinds of bikes, including cargo and electric models, and fixes tires and brakes on scooters and strollers. Rentals let people try an e-bike for a weekend before buying, outfit visiting guests or ride an e-bike for the first time. While a bike is being serviced, customers can order cold brew, kombucha, non-alcoholic beer or a mocktail.
