Letrigo E-Bikes at Brentwood Cycle: Minivan SE, Minivan & Koda Buyer's Guide

We're excited to announce that Brentwood Cycle is now carrying Letrigo e-bikes — a brand new addition to our lineup here in Saanichton. After 40+ years of helping Victoria cyclists find the right ride, we're always looking for brands that genuinely raise the bar, and Letrigo caught our attention for all the right reasons.

Known for practical, well-built electric bikes that don't compromise on ride quality, Letrigo has built a loyal following among commuters, recreational riders, and anyone who wants to cover more ground with less effort. We're proud to be bringing them to Greater Victoria for the first time.

We're stocking three models: the Minivan SE, the Minivan, and the Koda. Here's a breakdown of each one and who it's best suited for.

Why We Chose Letrigo

We don't add new brands lightly. When we bring something new into the shop, it has to meet the standard we'd recommend to our own family. Letrigo earned its place for a few key reasons:

• Pedal-assist done right — Letrigo bikes use natural-feeling pedal assist that amplifies your effort rather than replacing it. They feel like bikes, not scooters.
• Practical design — Integrated lights, fender-ready builds, and cargo-friendly geometry. These are bikes designed for real-world use, not just weekend rides.
• Reliable components — Quality drivetrains, hydraulic disc brakes, and well-integrated battery systems that hold up to daily use.
• Backed by a local dealer — Buying from Brentwood Cycle means you have a local shop for service, adjustments, and warranty support. That matters with an e-bike.

The Letrigo Minivan

The Minivan is Letrigo's core commuter e-bike — a practical, capable, and comfortable ride built for everyday use. If you're looking for a reliable bike to get you to work, run errands, or cruise the Lochside Trail without breaking a sweat, this is the one.

Who It's For

• Daily commuters on paved trails and city streets
• Riders who want a clean, integrated look without a lot of add-ons
• Anyone replacing a car for short-to-medium distance trips around Greater Victoria

Key Features

• Pedal-assist motor with multiple assist levels
• Integrated battery with solid range for daily commuting
• Upright, comfortable geometry
• Disc brakes for reliable stopping in wet conditions
• Fender and rack compatible for practical commuter setup

Come into the shop to see current specs and availability — we're happy to walk you through the build and set it up for your commute.

The Letrigo Minivan SE

The Minivan SE is the upgraded version of the Minivan — more power, more range, and more features for riders who want the best commuter e-bike experience. If you're covering longer distances, tackling hillier routes, or just want the top-of-the-line build, the SE is worth the step up.

Who It's For

• Riders with longer commutes (20km+ round trip)
• Anyone dealing with significant hills on their route (Elk Lake area, Mount Newton, downtown Saanich)
• Riders who want maximum range and don't want to think about battery anxiety
• Those who want a premium, fully-equipped commuter right out of the box

Key Features

• More powerful motor and extended battery range vs. the standard Minivan
• Enhanced component spec throughout
• All the practical commuter features of the Minivan, dialled up
• Ideal for year-round riding in Victoria's variable weather

The SE is our recommendation for riders who are serious about replacing their car for commuting. Stop by and we'll help you compare it side-by-side with the standard Minivan.

The Letrigo Koda

The Koda is Letrigo's more adventure-oriented e-bike — built for riders who want to go beyond the paved trail and explore the roads and light gravel routes of the Saanich Peninsula and beyond. It's a versatile bike that handles commuting duties but really shines when you point it somewhere interesting.

Who It's For

• Riders who want one bike that commutes during the week and explores on weekends
• Gravel and mixed-surface riders who want electric assist on longer adventures
• Cyclists who ride the Galloping Goose, the Lochside, and want to venture onto gravel roads
• Riders who want a more dynamic, sporty ride feel compared to the Minivan

Key Features

• More capable geometry for mixed-surface and gravel riding
• Wider tire clearance for added versatility
• Pedal-assist motor tuned for a more engaged, athletic ride feel
• Rack and fender compatible for commuter use

If you're the kind of rider who wants to explore beyond the paved trail network, the Koda is the Letrigo for you.

Which Letrigo Is Right for You?

Here's a quick summary to help you decide:

• Letrigo Minivan — Best for everyday commuting on paved trails and city streets. Practical, comfortable, great value.
• Letrigo Minivan SE — Best for longer commutes, hillier routes, and riders who want maximum range and a premium build.
• Letrigo Koda — Best for riders who want adventure capability alongside commuter practicality. The go-anywhere Letrigo.

E-Bikes and Victoria's Trail Network

All three Letrigo models are Class 1 pedal-assist e-bikes, which means they're permitted on the Lochside Regional Trail, the Galloping Goose, and most of Greater Victoria's multi-use trail network. You get all the benefits of electric assist without being restricted to roads only.
