Electric Bike Company Hails from California and Builds Its Two-Wheelers Locally

Founder Sean Lupton-Smith wanted to be part of the E-Bike revolution

The not-so-creatively named Electric Bike Company hails from California and builds its two-wheelers locally in good old Newport Beach.

Their goal is to produce the best electric cruiser globally, using high-quality materials and local know-how. 

Founder Sean Lupton-Smith decided to move away from a successful career as a restaurateur after witnessing the birth of E-Bikes and what they meant for the transportation and mobility industry.  

All of a sudden hilly terrain, distance, age, fitness levels, or poor health weren't the roadblocks preventing people from cycling that they once were.

All he wanted to do was be a part of the revolution.

7 different styles can be equipped with electric assist options

Electric Bike Company now caters to the 99% of the US population who can cycle. They combine responsible consumerism and ethically manufactured bikes with luxury and style.

Creating a pretty impressive variety of bicycle styles with mixed and matched features produces a fully customized experience for each rider. 

It's the little things. A pair of temperature sensors in each battery pack ensures that it's shut down immediately if the unit gets too hot. Completely eliminating the fire risk that is sometimes associated with lithium-based batteries. 

Each of the seven different styles can be equipped with electric assist options, taking the rider up to 140 miles at an impressive 28 mph before that battery requires replenishing.
