“It changed my life and improved my marriage.”

There’s more to eBiking than just going for a ride. There’s the thrill of movement, the joys of adventure, and the connection of community. But there’s also something else you wouldn’t expect.

After decades in the automotive industry, Steve Halpern felt stuck—professionally uninspired and personally searching for new ways to connect with his wife as they entered their empty-nester years. Then spark arrived unexpectedly in the form of Lectric eBikes.

An Unexpected Spark

What began as a simple purchase soon reshaped both his career path and his relationship. At 62, Steve embodies the belief that it’s never too late to make a meaningful change. When he found himself in a career rut, he didn’t wait it out—he reached out. A message to Lectric turned into an opportunity to bridge the brand with community service shops nationwide. Fueled by his passion and energy, Steve helped open more than 600 accounts, rediscovering purpose along the way.

A New Way to Ride Together

On a personal level, the Lectric XP became a shared joy for Steve and his wife. Its affordability and practicality made it an easy yes, and riding quickly became a weekly ritual. From Sunday rides to RV trips through Block Island and the Berkshire Mountains, their eBikes opened doors to new adventures.

Seeing More at eBike Speed

Riding at “eBike speed,” Steve says, reveals details often missed—coastal wildlife, historic mill towns, quiet beauty. For him, eBikes are more than transportation, they’re connection, movement, and rediscovered joy. His story is proof that sometimes the spark you need is just two wheels away.

Steve's Favorite Ride

“If I could only have one bike, it would be the XPeak because it can go anywhere.”
