Anybody start their bike or ebike business remember how it felt to have their first 20 brand new bikes to sell? Anyway, that's the feeling I have right now. Pretty cool, but I'm too tired to completely enjoy it. I think it's a milestone moment. It's like having a real bike shop! I'll get a chance to enjoy it if I ever get a day off.
I don't know if I could fit much more inventory in my garage based business, so I think this will be the standard for now, at least for the rest of this riding season. I will have to find room to put a pallet stacked with 10 bikes at a time for next season in addition to 10 or 20 assembled bikes.
I plan on having my own bikes shipped in by next year ten at a time. That's the minimum order amount I could find anywhere for anything I want to build and sell as an ebike.
I want to order beach cruisers with 26 x 2.25" wheels with disk brakes for ebike conversion.
I would also order fat tire beach cruisers, and mountain bikes. The carbon bike plans are still in the future, although I'm planning on testing a carbon fiber mountain bike for ebike conversion as soon as I can get one.
It's almost 8pm and I have a tone of work to do for tomorrows bike sale. I think I'll take the night off from wrenching on bikes and just post stuff over to craigslist for the rest of the night.
