Our Story
Our affair with eBikes began in 2014 when we purchased comfort cruisers from Let It Ride, our local Pedego dealer. We visit Let It Ride on most First Friday’s. If you’ve never experienced an eBike, check out Pedego. Owner Kevin is a great tour guide.
As makers, we naturally started to experiment with eBikes on our own. And thus began High Lakes eBikes.
As of 2024 we are retired. We leave these bios from our glory days, but they are not current.
