About us
Welcome to Jesse’s e-Rides!
Our story began with our autistic son, Jesse, who struggled to ride a traditional bike. His life changed when his 7th-grade class raised funds to buy him an e-trike for his 13th birthday. This moment was a turning point—not just for Jesse, but for our entire family. The e-trike gave Jesse newfound freedom and independence, allowing him to commute to school and even head downtown for ice cream on his own.
Inspired by the joy and transformation we saw in Jesse, we created Jesse’s e-Rides to bring that same freedom and joy to others. We specialize in the repair, maintenance, and sales of e-bikes, trikes, and scooters. Our mission is not only to provide top-quality service but also to support the autism community by creating opportunities for those who may face similar challenges. We believe in inclusion, safety, and giving everyone the chance to experience the freedom of riding.

Future Plans for
Jesse's e-Rides
Expanding Our Team with a Focus on Inclusion
One of the key pillars of our future growth is the inclusion of autistic and special needs workers. Inspired by Jesse’s journey, we want to create meaningful employment opportunities for individuals who may face challenges in traditional work environments. We believe that everyone deserves the chance to contribute their skills and talents, and our goal is to build a team that reflects the diversity and strength of our community.
By providing a supportive workplace that understands the unique needs of autistic and special needs employees, we hope to empower individuals and show how e-mobility and inclusion can go hand in hand.
Forming a Non-Profit to Donate E-Trikes
In addition to building an inclusive workforce, we are also laying the groundwork for an exciting new venture: forming a non-profit organization dedicated to getting e-trikes into the hands of teens and adults who might not otherwise have the opportunity to experience the freedom they offer.
For individuals with mobility challenges or those on the autism spectrum, having access to an e-trike can be life-changing. Our goal is to create a program that donates e-trikes to those who need them, helping to foster independence, confidence, and joy in everyday life.
Developing Robust Rider Training Programs
Another exciting part of our future is the development of robust training programs for e-bike, trike, and scooter riders. As more people turn to electric mobility for transportation and recreation, we aim to provide comprehensive training that covers everything from safe riding practices to maintenance and battery care. These training programs will be designed to ensure that all riders—whether beginners or experienced—can get the most out of their e-ride while staying safe on the road.
Continuing to Offer Exceptional Service
While we have big plans for the future, one thing that will never change is our commitment to providing the best service possible for our customers. We will continue to offer high-quality e-bike, trike, and scooter repairs, training, and maintenance so that our community can enjoy safe, reliable, and fun electric rides.
Our mission is not just to grow as a business, but to grow as a positive force in the lives of our customers and our employees. We’re excited about what’s to come and can’t wait to share each step of this journey with you.
