Our Foundational Story

Our journey began not in a factory, but on a mountain in Taiwan. Our founder, Matt, got hopelessly lost on a challenging trail, only to be rescued by a stranger on an electric mountain bike. That ride, a seamless blend of natural beauty and effortless power, was an epiphany.

It sparked a singular mission: to bring this exhilarating experience to South Africa. We wanted to empower cyclists to go further, explore more, and rediscover the sheer joy of a ride—without being limited by age, fitness, or terrain.

Our Core Belief: Your Ride, Your Rules

What truly sets us apart is our philosophy. We believe that an e-bike should be a perfect extension of you, not a one-size-fits-all solution. This is why we specialize in two things:

Crafting Custom E-Bikes

We don't just sell bikes; we build them. We meticulously select and assemble every component to create a machine that is perfectly suited to your body, your riding style, and the unique South African landscape.

Transforming Your Ride

We are pioneers of e-bike conversions. We believe your trusty bicycle—the one you already love—deserves a second life. Our team of experts will integrate a state-of-the-art electric drive system, giving your bike new life and you a new reason to ride.

The Chilled Squirrel Promise

Unrivaled Expertise

From motor selection to battery optimization, we have the technical knowledge to build a bike that is safe, reliable, and performs exactly how you need it to.

A Personal Touch

Every e-bike we build or convert starts with a personal consultation. We listen to your needs, assess your goals, and design a solution tailored just for you.

Guaranteed Quality

We stand behind our work. Our components are sourced for their quality, and every build is rigorously tested to ensure it meets our exacting standards.

Riding Towards a Greener Future

The "Two Trees" Initiative

We are proud to partner with Greenpop, a leading South African non-profit dedicated to reforestation and environmental awareness. For every e-bike we sell or convert, we plant a tree in your name. You'll receive a certificate of appreciation and the GPS coordinates for your tree, connecting your new adventure to a lasting impact on our planet.
