This was a really cool project. We recently built this custom titanium electric mountain bike for a local Boulder cyclist who is 6'4", but with extremely long legs. His legs were as long as the average 6'9" customer but his torso was similar to someone who is 6'2". This posed a very interesting design challenge, and on top of that, he needed a very upright riding position to keep his neck and back comfortable. Instead of building the bike with a super long head tube and a custom suspension fork with extra long steering tube, we used the new Fox 38 e-bike optimized 180mm travel fork to help get the front end high enough for the rider to be comfortable.

We recently built this custom titanium electric mountain bike for a long-time customer of ours in Hawaii. The rider is 6'8" and 275lbs and we built this mountain e-bike with 29 plus tires. The Tires are 29x3.0" which are a real game changer for a big and tall person. You get better traction and stability, and even more tire cushion, which is nice when you don't have rear suspension.

Learn About Large Wheel Electric Bikes This has been a really fun project from the beginning. When Jusuf Nurkic called and told us his last Custom Zinn Titanium Gravel bike got stolen, we wanted to replace it with something really unique. Since he is 7’ tall and 275lbs and plays center for the Portland Blazers, we decided that we could do something truly special to enhance his riding experience.

While we originally got our start in customizing “regular” bikes, we believe that ebikes also have their place in the cycling world! Our owner and founder, Lennard Zinn, has transitioned to riding an ebike more and more, which has inspired other customers to find out the benefits of riding this type of bike for themselves. Check out this new Zinn custom titanium dual battery ebike to discover what we can create for you!

Big riders are often very familiar with wearing out and breaking bike equipment. You go through tires much faster than lighter riders, your rear rim develops cracks at the spoke holes, and maybe you’ve broken spokes, chains, hub flanges, seatposts, saddle rails, saddle shells, crank arms, and even frames. To avoid breakage in use, big riders need to understand what the impact of metal fatigue is and replace their weight-bearing bicycle parts more frequently than a smaller rider would.
