Welcome e-bike and Juiced Riders fans! Coming to you from beautiful Salt Spring Island in British Columbia...

I know it's hard to believe, but the picture below was taken in early December, here on SSI.

I have been an e-bike rider for 8 years, and after moving to Salt Spring three years ago, I opened a small shop doing conversions (Hill Eater E-Bikes Ltd).  

I came across Juiced Riders while surfing online, and was inerested enough to inquire about becoming a dealer.  I brought in some bikes, and they are impressive:  These are really well made bikes!  Juiced Riders has been too busy building and selling bikes in the USA to develop the Canadian market, which is where I come in.  

Why aren't you pulling this trailer with a Juiced Riders bike, you ask?  Well, I built this this rig before I got into JR.  Stay tuned for updates on rigging the U500 for towing.  In case you hadn't noticed, this trailer is powered - with two direct drive hub motors and its own battery.  The towing bike must have a throttle and e-brake connection to the trailer.

Around here we do as much as we can without the use of a car, so local deliveries (including Victoria) are made by bike when possible.  The trip to Victoria includes a ferry trip, which is expensive by car but cheap by bike, even when the bike is 16 feet long!

We are rolling out a dealer program across Canada in 2016. If you have a bike shop, please inquire about becoming a dealer for these great bikes!
