Vermont Bike & Brew

Vermont Bike & Brew pairs a bicycle shop with a cafe at 242 Academy Road in Thetford Center, Vermont. The retail side sells pedal-assist electric bicycles from Gazelle, Haibike, and Diamondback, and the shop is listed as a Gazelle dealer. Rental e-bikes let visitors try the nearby rail trail before buying, and the service bench handles repairs for bikes purchased elsewhere as well as the shop's own sales.

a relaxed stop where a ride can be combined with coffee and food, and staff who take time to size riders and explain motor, battery, and range options. The cafe seating gives the space a social character distinct from a conventional showroom. The cafe and rental setup make the shop a practical starting point for group rides on the nearby rail trail.

com. For riders in the Upper Valley wanting to test an e-bike on real terrain with guidance on hand, the combination of rentals, retail, service, and refreshments covers the full outing in one stop.
