Discovering Freedom on Two Wheels with Bike E-bike Plus

Discovering Freedom on Two Wheels with Bike E-bike Plus

Growing up on a farm in Rock Falls, I learned to appreciate life's simple pleasures early on. One of my greatest joys as a kid was hopping on my bike and exploring the backroads. There was something magical about it. The wind in my face, the buzz of insects and birds around me, and the sights and sounds of nature flashing by as I pedaled hard. It wasn’t just getting from point A to B; it was freedom. It was connection. It was a chance to take in the world in a way that a car ride could never match.

That childhood love of biking never faded. If anything, it grew stronger over time. The joy I found then has always stayed with me, and now my husband and I have the opportunity to share it with others through Bike E-bike Plus.

Why E-Bikes?

If you’ve never tried an e-bike, you’re in for a treat. While I’ll never stop loving a good old-fashioned bike ride, there’s something so exciting about the versatility e-bikes bring to the experience. Whether you want to work your legs and ride hard or take it easy and enjoy the scenery, e-bikes give you that choice. And you don’t need to be an experienced cyclist to enjoy them either. They’re perfect for anyone who wants to get out there and feel the wind on their face.

For us, e-bikes are about more than just taking the effort out of the ride. They’re about opportunity. They give people the freedom to experience biking in a way that fits their needs, their abilities, and their energy levels that day. Want to glide uphill without breaking a sweat? You can. Feel like pushing yourself a little? You can do that too. That’s the beauty of it all.

“Go Hard, or Don’t”—Your Ride, Your Way

Our motto at Bike E-bike Plus is simple but meaningful to us: “Go hard…or don’t.” It perfectly captures what we love about e-bikes and why we started this business. We want to give people the chance to explore and experience the world around them in whatever way feels right for them.

Some people love the feeling of pushing their limits on a ride, powering through tough trails or racing down backroads. Others might just want a relaxed cruise through the countryside, soaking in the views without worrying if they can make it up the next hill. With e-bikes, both are possible. It’s about giving you the power to choose your adventure, not feeling like you have to live up to anyone else’s idea of what “biking” should be.

Sharing the Joy

Starting Bike E-bike Plus wasn’t just about renting bikes. It was about sharing a feeling. That amazing sense of freedom I had on those Rock Falls roads as a kid is still there every time I hop on a bike, especially an e-bike. When my husband and I started playing with the idea of bringing e-bikes to more people, we couldn’t stop thinking about how much fun it would be to help a wide range of people feel that freedom too.

Since starting this venture, we’ve been thrilled to see such a variety of people enjoy our e-bikes. Seasoned riders rediscover the thrill of the ride with the added boost an e-bike provides. Couples take laid-back cruises together, chatting and enjoying the views. Families adventuring together in a way everyone can keep up with and enjoy.

It’s amazing to watch people try out our e-bikes and see that spark of joy light up their faces. That’s why we do this. That’s what it’s all about.
