E-bike retailer Rocket Electrics will open a second store at 408 W. Second St., Austin, on Nov. 2. The location will specialize in bicycles that have electric motors from German brand Riese and Muller. Rocket Electrics opened its first location on East Riverside Drive in Southeast Austin in 2011. "We've seen firsthand how e-bikes can transform a once-hesitant bike commuter into a passionate, active transportation advocate," Rocket Electrics co-founder Nicole Zinn said in a news release. This new location in downtown's Second Street District is intended to help commuters manage the "last mile" between their bus or train station and their office. 512-442-2453. www.rocketelectrics.com
