This bike turned out really nice. It's a titanium custom ebike build for a 6'10" rider. The customer was looking for a bike for riding commuting in his home town of Geneva Switzerland as well as long adventure rides on the many gravel paths in the area. For him, flat bars were the way to go to get him the riding position he wanted.
This bike was a really cool project. Lester Binegar, CFO of our favorite local Boulder Bike shop, University bikes, came to us with the idea to build his dream e-bike. Ubikes has been a cycling institution in Boulder for ages, so it was really cool to be able to build a bike for Lester. His idea was to make an electric mountain bike that would be great for commuting, trail riding, and gravel riding and we wanted to keep it as light as we could. Under 40lbs was the request, and we knew this would be a challenge.
This year we had the pleasure of building a custom titanium ebike for a really nice woman in Georgia. She contacted us because she is retired from working at UGA, and does a lot of long supported group rides with friends. She decided she needed and ebike since many of her friends had them and she wanted to be able to keep up with them. Below is her review of the new bike after some big rides.
