The Electric Bike Report Mission
We are very enthusiastic about electric bikes and the potential for them to enable many people to enjoy riding a bike for transportation and recreation.
The primary goal of Electric Bike Report is to get the word out about electric bikes and all of their benefits through news, reviews, rider stories, guides, etc.
The Electric Bike Report Team
Kristen Nelson – Product Reviewer, Certified Personal Trainer/Spin Instructor
Kristen began cycling in her early 20’s when she strapped two toddlers in the back of an old bicycle trailer and hauled them all over San Diego. Now, living in the gorgeous red rock mountains of southern Utah, Kristen makes it a point to get out on the local trails as much as possible.
Kristen is also an accomplished road cyclist. She placed first in the Tour of St. George in the Fall of 2015 and took first in the Ride the Gap bike race in 2016. In 2017 she again won Ride the Gap and still holds the women’s course record for the 55-mile distance. She is a member of the Red Rock Cycling Club and has been a certified spin instructor for nearly 10 years. Writing for EBR is a way to indulge her passion for all things cycling and spend time with other gear heads as well!
Griffin Hales – Director Of Content, Product Reviewer
Griffin was a casual bike rider until riding his first eBike in 2019 when he instantly became hooked. Now he looks forward to taking in the stunning red rock views of southern Utah while cycling around town. Thanks to the warm climate, he loves being able to ride year-round and test all kinds of ebikes on the diverse terrain. Griffin proudly provides the new rider perspective to the team of more experienced riders. Having recently gotten seriously into biking, he too asked a lot of the same questions many of you have: “why are hydraulic brakes better?”, “how important is motor wattage?”, and the classic first-time experience of “how exactly do you start this thing?”
Griffin enjoys keeping up with the latest trends in tech, energy, and spending time with his wife, two kids, and two dogs.
