The idea for our company started back in 2013 as electric bike rental places started popping up around San Diego. While locals were hesitant at the idea of riding an electric bike, tourists began using them for sightseeing along the coast highway. While every rider came back with a big smile on their face from the indescribable joy that comes from riding an electric bicycle, most did not think they were practical for commuting due to their bulkiness, complexity, and price tag.
