Pure Energy Cycling & Java House

Great place. Very friendly and helpful. I rent bikes from them all the time.

I have had both of my bikes serviced here and they were very helpful. They are on top of their customer service. I went in this weekend to start shopping for a new bike, and I will say that they were super about the whole thing. I made it clear at the start that I was just starting my search. Kyle asked me a bunch of relevant questions about my current riding, future plans, past injuries, aches/​pains, what I was looking for in a bike, price range, and measured me for a new bike. He did not push a sale, but said that they would research and get back to me with options. He explained a lot about components and sizing, and what was available in certain price ranges. I did not feel «talked down to», even though I am a fairly casual rider. Good experience overall. The shop is neat and organized, I did not have the coffee, nor did I really review the bikes that were there. I’ll see what they come back with. They were the 3^rd shop that I’ve visited, and they were the most helpful.

Nice place to rent a bike! The rate was $ 40 for the entire day (10 – 5) which I thought was very fair. The guys at the store were very helpful and friendly. The bike was pretty comfortable, especially on smoother parts of the canal towpath trail where I took it.
It was more of a street bike than a trail bike so on bumpy sections, it was not great, but overall I had a great time. Bike rental came with a lock and a helmet so I was able to stop for lunch and ride the steam train too.
I highly recommend this place.

I had passed by this bike shop in Lambertville many times, but never stopped in until yesterday. While riding with a friend who owns an older bike, we experienced two blown out tires/​tubes in one day, on the canal. Yikes. The people at Pure Energy were most accommodating, and fixed the flats quickly, replaced the tires, etc. — all with a smile, and at a reasonable cost. While my friend and I were waiting for our second tire, a passing motorist also got a flat right down the street, and yes, the folks at Pure Energy helped them too, including rolling out a nice scissor jack which made the tire change a lot easier for them.
While some of the bikes in here are quite pricey, they do carry a selection of quality bikes at more modest prices as well. They also serve coffee & espresso, and will rent bikes too, if you reserve ahead, on line. So if you are coming to Lambertville and want to ride the towpath, but don’t have a bike with you — no worries. Just call ahead or reserve online. I think I found my new favorite bike shop.
Thanks guys!

PureEnergy helped me prepare for an 70+ mile cross bike event. They recommended equipment that made sense for me, not just equipment that had the highest profit margins. Their pricing was surprisingly low for the quality. All repairs, performance tuning and advice were top notch and greatly contributed to me riding strong and confident during a tough but fantastic event in Lambertville NJ!
Thank you Kyle and Arounkone at PureEnergy!

Went to Pure Energy Cycling to pick up a few cleat wedges. They’re basically thin sheets of plastic that are placed under a cycling cleat to align the knee. Online you can buy a kit that includes 8 wedges as well as long bolts for ~ $ 25. Pure Energy charged me $ 5 per wedge! I should have walked out instead of buying them.
I’ve never been to this bike shop before then, but was in the area at the time. I am not a repeat customer, so the owner had no reason to cut me a deal. But, ripping people off is no way to get repeat business. Will not be back, and will not recommend.

I was quite disappointed to be talked down to apparently because I didn’t look like a ««cyclist».
The sales person peered at me from head to toe as I told him I was looking for a hybrid for my husband. He brought out a worn rental (he said it was used a «couple of times») and tried to sell it to me for $ 500, then $ 400.
I have been cycling throughout the world for over 50 years and I llove cycling because I enjoy people, nature and exercise. I don’t need a «Ferrari» bike, padded pants or stiff cleat shoes and I really don’t like cyclist snobs.
I had purchased my current bike at this shop 2 years ago, but I will never buy even a cup of coffee there again.

Came here to rent some bikes for some canal cruising. The store is conveniently located so easy to get to town and to the bike route along the canal.
The staff was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The bikes we rented were well maintained, worked well and came with a free helmet.
The bike selection was good, with interesting accessories, though we weren’t in the market for one at the time.
Enjoy.

Great cycling store, delicious selection of bikes, biking gear, and coffee!!! Relaxed welcoming atmosphere, and wonderful staff. Definitely know their ish

Great store with cutting edge products and awesome customer service from Arounkone and his team there. And good coffee to boot! Great place to stop in to drool ver cool bike stuff, and to have a great cup of Joe!

Arounkone is one cool dude. An ambassador to all things cycling, his passion is to advocate for a car-​free lifestyle.
The Good: The guy is a people guy and really believes in his role in effecting change. He doesn’t want you to just come in and buy a bike you’ll ride a few times and never stop in again. Rather I believe he sees himself and his business playing a vital role in the community by doing their best to ensure that the bike you buy is one that has you choosing to ride over driving as much as possible. He’s also ridden the racing circuits and done endurance stuff, if your serious about getting to the finish line they can set you up too.
The Bad: Can’t think of anything bad. They carry a good variety of killer brands. You don’t like anything there, or want to expand beyond what they do have, then they are happy to receive your online orders and put them together for you. Oh, and the coffee is good too.
The Ugly: Could be me and my wallet! There is no rip-​off here, it’s all cool stuff and well priced! It’s just that there is a lot of it and I am going to want it all!
