Wake Gregg
Owner
A native of the Seattle area, Wake started his career at the age of 12 as a bike mechanic for a touring group called the Cyclemates. He graduated from the University of Puget Sound in 1994, and later founded a non-profit venture in Walla-Walla, mentoring at-risk youth and teaching them the bicycle mechanic trade.
While a graduate student at George Fox University, Wake took a trip to China and was captivated by the sheer number of people riding electric bicycles. Back in Portland, he launched Portland’s first electric bike company, The eBike Store. The business quickly outgrew its original space and opened a new and larger store in North Portland across from Peninsula Park. Wake currently lives in the Piedmont Neighborhood with his wife and two daughters.
Robert Cyders
Robert is a lifelong Portlander and avid cyclist who has logged more than 13,000 commuting miles in the past five years. An early eBike adopter, Robert rides a custom 12-foot long Schwinn cargo pusher trailer that can haul an impressive 180 lbs of gear.
Ask Robert what he likes about eBikes and he’s quick to point out his favorite things: “Freedom, less stress, getting places quicker, and no parking headaches.”
When not helping match customers with the right eBike for their lifestyle and commute, Robert is working on his new “Tiny Home” in the Piedmont neighborhood.
