Our Story
How Max's Electric Bikes began, and why we're here.
Peter Kern, Founder & CEO
"I grew up on two wheels, BMX racing as a kid, chasing speed and freedom. Like a lot of people, life got busy and my bike slowly disappeared from the routine. For nearly 30 years, I was off the saddle.
Everything changed on a family vacation in Grand Teton National Park. I hopped on an e-bike and felt something I hadn't felt in decades: the simple joy of riding. The hills were no longer a barrier, the ride was fun again, and I realized how many people could get that feeling back with the right bike.
That moment stuck with me. I started Max's Electric Bikes with one goal, make biking more accessible and more enjoyable for more people. Whether you're commuting, getting back in shape, riding with your family, or just looking for a better way to explore, we'll help you find an e-bike that fits your life.
We're here to make it easy: friendly guidance, real service, and a shop you can trust long after you roll out the door."
