The Marin Fairfax E ST is an electric bike that rides just like a traditional hybrid—only better. Weighing in at just 42 lbs, it’s one of the lightest e-bikes in its class, making it easy to maneuver and transport. Built on the award-winning Fairfax hybrid platform, this bike retains the smooth, responsive feel that has made it Wirecutter’s "Best Hybrid Bike" for four years running.
Unlike many e-bikes that feel like mopeds with pedals, the Fairfax E features a torque-sensing hub motor that seamlessly amplifies your pedaling effort, providing a natural and intuitive ride. The hub motor design also reduces drivetrain wear for long-term reliability. With UL certification for safety, mounts for fenders and a rack, and a thoughtful balance of power and performance, the Fairfax E is the perfect choice for riders who want a true bike experience—with just the right amount of electric assist. It's the e-bike for people who don't want an e-bike!
Note: there is a $15 battery recycling charge that Marin assesses on all e-bikes sold in the US. You can learn more about this fee here. It's included in the price you see above.
Keep in mind that the "ST" version is identical to the standard Fairfax E other than the frame shape and design. It is smaller and easier to step over the main frame. However, it is more difficult to load the "ST" on a bike rack that attaches to the top tube of the bike.
UL 2849 certified.
