Paul D.

Paul has spent the majority of his life teaching others to live actively. He kicked off his career in the personal training field, where he taught folks in their 30s, 40s, and 50s how to reclaim the spark for life that they once had as a kid. During his time as a personal trainer, Paul realized that some of the not-so-great habits his clients developed growing up could have been avoided completely had they learned about the importance of staying active when they were young. After having that realization, Paul switched career paths and became a Physical Education teacher. He wanted to teach kids to be fit for a lifetime, not just in the present or in order to excel in athletics. He wants them to stay active for the sake of leading a healthy and active life.

Later on in life, Paul experienced not one but two torn ACLs while teaching and playing sports. These injuries set him back a bit in terms of staying active, and that is when the idea of an electric bike came into his mind. Being able to take off with the twist of a throttle takes Paul back to when he was a little kid, riding around Sacramento without a care in the world. He holds that sense of freedom and lightness near and dear to his heart, and we are so glad to be a small part of his awesome journey.

eBiking can mean a whole lot more to people than simply a way to get around. It can mean freedom, fun, immersion in nature, and autonomy to so many as well. We are extremely thankful to have awesome educators and people like Paul riding our eBikes, and we can't wait to see the adventures to come on this epic journey.
