A Challenge
There is nothing particularly special about the bikes pictured above. They are entry level, though great values. Once converted to torque sensing, mid-drive e-bikes though, they are FAR superior to anything comparable that costs $1,000 more! I challenge anyone to come up with anything factory to compete.
I always feel bad when customers think they are just saving money getting an e-bike conversion. The fact is, they are buying and paying for, a high end, custom built e-bike.
I don’t care if you are riding one of the many 90’s era Trek hybrids we have built. You will be hard pressed to find a factory e-bike with your range, hillclimbing ability, handling.or comfort. Yours is a high performance, custom e-bike.
Want something else? Perhaps higher end components or a custom frame? Get it from one of our friendly competitors. The folks at Healthy, Jerry’s, Bike-N-Hike and Wright’s especially, have been helpful to us. Ruby’s will build your custom e-bike and still be $1k-$3k under a comparable factory e-bike.
Note: There are no, “bad” bike shops in The Quad Cities. Each and every one is owned and operated by awesome folks that really love bikes. One specializes in custom bikes. One is a value shop, another is focused on families and still another is off road and gravel. There is only one shop specializing in e-bikes. That’s Ruby’s.
Within legal limits, your custom e-bike from Ruby’s will have the same or more wattage than any factory bike. It will have the same or more torque. It will definitely have more range, handle better and you will have better support.
Someday, when needed, you will be able to source repair or replacement parts and components for your custom e-bike from multiple vendors, at lower prices. For example, we can show you multiple pages of vendors for our batteries. How much and how long from the factory brands?
Get back out there. Take an epic ride once again. Get away. Go somewhere and see something you can only see from the saddle of a bicycle built just for you. Let Ruby’s build the e-bike of your dreams.
