Welcome to Our Community

The best way to learn about e-bike conversions is to see what real riders have built. Our User Build Gallery showcases successful conversions from riders across the United States, complete with parts lists, costs, photos, and honest feedback about what worked (and what didn't).

Every build tells a story. Whether it's a daily commuter conquering Seattle hills, a cargo hauler in Texas moving kids and groceries, or a winter warrior in Colorado, these real-world examples provide inspiration and practical insights you can't find anywhere else.

Why Share Your Build?

Sharing your conversion helps the entire e-bike community. New builders learn from your successes and mistakes, experienced riders discover new techniques and components, and manufacturers understand what riders actually need.

Plus, your build might inspire someone to make the switch from car to bike, creating positive environmental and health impacts in your community.
