After a 20 year in the retail biz I was complete burn out and I started my adventure in mfg and designing bikes.It started 1997 it seem to be a lifetime. From Miami Beach to California 1999 to Taiwan and China back and forth and back to California.I experience all from living in a custom house on the inter coastal in Hollywood FL and to experiencing living in a dirty factory in China with no air condition the only way to cool off was with a bucket of water roaches every where but I could not complain what ever I want to build I did. The stepper, which it was an incredible project, it took me a few prototypes but I got it doneThinking back it wasn’t that bad.2005 I come back to U.S. and we start it to dist. our bikes in the U.S. market living in my van(Creepy Matt blackout 1988 Aerostar) using Kinkos as my head quarters(free internet,printing and clean bathroom ) in Long Beach for a few months until we got our first whse(store front) Long Beach.We made a lot mistakes along the way but we got it going.We appreciated our dealers and their support.and what we did in the past is history and we are looking forward to the near futureStay tune to our new project The E-LEGAL is coming soon and remember all the material things stays behind when we leave this EARTH the only thing we take with us is our great experiences in life the rest stays here on Earth.http://www.3gebikes.com
