THIJS
Engineer, Mechanic, Tour guide
Coming from the very flat Netherlands, Thijs discovered the amazing network of trails in Rotorua and fell in love with the place. An engineer by trade, his meticulous attention to detail and passion for problem solving raised the standard in which we can offer workshop services. When not pushing the boundaries of what is possible with Ebikes in store, he's out playing flying Dutchman on the trails.
Michelle
Process & Marketing
Michelle fell in love with mountain biking in New Zealand. Coming from The Netherlands where there are mainly flat trails, riding in New Zealand made her realise this is 'The Place To Be'.
The great variety of trails in Rotorua helped her pumping up her bike skills.
With her Bachelor in Business Management, Michelle loves to support the team in different aspects and improve processes. Her main focus is maintaining the website and marketing projects.
Felipe
Bicycle Mechanic
Felipe brings his love of bikes straight out of Chile – you can find him in the workshop of the EBR HQ, working his mechanical magic on all of the bikes. New to Rotorua, he loves that the city centre is so close to the lakes and forest, and how outdoor activities are a part of daily life in the local community. When not at work, Felipe is spinning wheels on the bike, at the lake, or out with his beautiful Chilean girlfriend.
Julian
Bicycle Attendant
Julian takes care of maintaining our rental fleet and ensures our visitors have the ultimate E-bike experience. His interest in mountain biking comes from growing up in an area with access to lots of trails. He enjoys working on bikes and seeing how the different componentry and bike setups can affect rider dynamics. Julian sees that adding the electrics to mountain biking takes it to a whole other level of fun.
His favourite thing about Rotorua is the accessibility to outdoor activities, and the cool vibe to the city from the regular influx of tourists.
Outside of his studies and work days, Julian likes trail running, fishing, or catching ray's at the beach.
Elliot
Bicycle Attendant
Elliot loves the locality of Rotorua – being in the central mecca means family come from all over to visit him and his brothers in his home town. You can find Elliot bringing the party at the rental site on the weekend, or perfecting our display’s in the HQ. Elliot brings experience to visitors from all over the world; he is a total people-person, and loves the inclusive team environment at EBR. E-bikes allow him to go out riding without extra pressures. In his spare time, Elliot enjoys hitting the gym, baking with mum, and hanging out with his family.

Tyler
Mechanic, Master of Wheelies
For the past 2 years Tyler has been onboard our team as a mechanic, starting off working weekends and after school to now full time, doing all jobs big and small.
His attention to detail and overall skills with repairs, bike builds and custom projects is his specialty, not to mention his ability on a bike, so if you ever see him riding in the forest, he's most likely riding on one wheel!
Alfie
Trail dog, Concierge, Instagram Model
Equally as passionate about bikes much as the rest of the team, Alfie is happiest when out burning through trails. His favourite include Challenge and Be Rude Not To. When not on the trails, he can often be found lounging around in the shop where he's sure to greet anyone who will give him the time of day. As well as these laborious activities, he also makes sure he has time to focus on his modelling career. Check out his Insta here.
