e-bike journey.
Matt, Founder of Chilled Squirrel.
Rescued on a MTB trail by an Ebiker.
Hi There,
Nice to meet you. My name is Matt.
Thanks for taking the time to learn more about us.
Riding an E-bike changed my Life and encouraged me to help others in the same way.
When we experience positive change most of us want to share it with family and friends, right ?
Please allow me to offer some friendly advice if you are exploring which electric bike is best for you.
Avoid a mismatch between what you need and what you invest in.
We have met people that have ended up with a mismatch .
Its a waste of your time and money.
Take a minute to evaluate your needs.
Some basic fundamentals covered in the 1 minute evaluation :
1) Terrain will you be mainly riding on.
2) Total weight you’ll be carrying when riding your e-bike. .
3) Average distance you’ll do on your e-bike per ride.
4) Reason/s you want to get an e-bike.
5) Your inseam leg length (measured from your crotch to your heel) in cm.
The Squirrel team’s focus is to #1 serve people by supplying an e-bike match.
The right e-bike with the greatest amount of value matched to your individual situation and requirements.
You’d probably not invest in a 4 bedroomed house when your kids have moved out .
You’d go for the right size house in the right environment matching to that stage of your life.
The 1 minute evaluation helps to pin point an e-bike match that best suits your needs.
The Squirrel teams #2 focus is Nature ,we look for ways to contribute to our environment,
For each e-bike or a complete electric bike produced by us , we plant a tree for you!
A Gratitude-GPS-Location-Certificate is provided by @Greenpop
GPS co-ordinates will show you the location of your tree , planted in your name
A reminder of the most important things in life. #1 Serving People. #2 Serving Nature .
I hope our trails cross soon!
Wish you good health and happiness in 2024 and beyond!
Kind Regards,
Matt Leve
