We just finished up this really cool E-bike for a musician in San Fransisco. It's a titanium custom ebike build for a 6'6" rider. This was one of the few occasions where the rider's wife convinced him to upgrade from what he was originally looking for. He came to visit us at our shop in Louisville, Colorado and test road several bikes. He was originally looking for a non electric commuter/city bike to ride around San Fransisco. He got a chance to ride an e-bike we had built up and really enjoyed it. He came back from his test ride with a huge grin on his face.

When I built myself an e-bike and started riding it, I was coming off of 35 years of racing bikes and cross-country skis. At age 55, I was still winning lots of bike races until I suddenly developed a heart arrhythmia. I struggled for a few years with finding satisfying outdoor activities that didn’t set off my heart arrhythmia, and my cycling range had become shortened to a very small radius around my house, ridden solo at a slow pace. It was repetitive and uninteresting for someone used to using the bike to have fun and get to far-flung beautiful places while feeling my body get stronger. Fortunately, I soon discovered e-bikes and the many health benefits they offer.
