"I saw an electric bike Mark had converted and it was awesome. He let me take it for a spin and I couldn't believe that first ride. It got me thinking that if my wife had one she might be up for the longer rides I was hoping for when we bought our Townies together. I had Mark at PoweredRide do an electric conversion on her Townie as a surprise for her birthday. It worked. We went for longer rides more often. The only problem was that I always wanted to ride her bike! She had Mark convert my Townie for my birthday. The bikes are beautiful and the converted bikes are lighter and more powerful than we imagined. They go much further and faster than the electric Townies that come from the factory and amazingly the price was less than half! The bikes are a huge hit with our Grandkids and extended family as well."

"My husband Gary likes to ride bikes to stay in shape. He bicycle commutes to work but it is pretty far and there are some pretty good hills on the way. Mark at PoweredRide told me how riding an electric bike can essentially flatten hills and allow you to ride further, faster and more often. Mark helped me pick out a really nice bike on KSL to convert to an e-bike. It was a light weight Giant XTC mountain bike. Surprisingly, the conversion preserved the light weight and even with an extended range 8 pound battery and powerful 750 watt motor the total weight is less than 40 pounds. He later added a torque sensor that magnifies whatever force is being applied to the pedals for a very responsive ride. Gary loves it. He can commute to work and get exercise without needing a shower when he gets there. Then he can turn down the motor assist for the ride home and get a more intense workout. PoweredRide did an awesome job."
