Rick took my 9 year old mountain bike and transformed it! He is incredibly knowledgeable, fast, detail oriented, and reasonably priced. He talked me through all the options and set me up with a fast, reliable, robust system - all without me having to buy a new bike. His general enthusiasm and kindness in answering every little question was just outstanding - and his work was clean and tight. He even did things like tighten and adjust brakes, because with the power of a 1500W motor pushing you along you also need good stopping power. I absolutely recommend his services - and because of my location in Austin he even delivered my bike to my door! Ill absolutely be bringing other bikes to him in the future. Thanks Rick. You rock!
My wife and I both had our mountain bikes upgraded to E-Bikes by Rix Rydes and we are ABSOLUTELY loving it. Such a positive experience working with Rick and team, outstanding customer service! He is extremely knowledgeable and puts a lot of energy to ensuring you have a great customer experience. Best E-Bike motor and Li-Ion battery on the market, well worth the investment. Its ALL hill country where we live and being able to enjoy it effortlessly with our E-Bikes is so much fun now! Thank you Rick and team!
Rick converted a hybrid bike I use for commuting and did a great job. I comparison shopped for quite a while before going here. The price was excellent, especially for the battery size and quality of the motor. Rick is also very knowledgeable and friendly. After 200 miles on the new setup, I would highly recommended!
Rick converted my Specialized road bike to an e-bike. Im new to e-bikes and while I was gathering info about e-bike conversions and deciding whether to move ahead, Rick was VERY helpful, spending time on the phone with me at length answering all sorts of questions in detail about batteries, different types of conversion kits, performance, etc. Rick was patient, never pushy, and he was thorough. Ricks pricing is competitive and he stands behind his work. (If a conversion Rick installed needs servicing, Rick will do the labor for free. Owner just pays parts.)Rick has vetted his suppliers carefully. Through Rick you will get quality components that work (not counterfeit batteries, faulty motors, etc. which can happen in the e-bike components space).When I showed up to have Rick convert my road bike, I found Rick to be helpful, and genuinely psyched to convert my bike. Rick loves bikes, and ebikes especially, and his enthusiasm is contagious!Having ridden my converted e-bike for several days now, I feel like I just went from dial-up Internet to high-speed Internet! The acceleration and speed are amazing. Wow! Thanks Rick! Im glad to have a trusted source for all my future e-bike needs.Rick really knows his stuff. Def recommended!
The service was outstanding, quick and for a very fair price. No matter what the problem is, Rick will fix it and follow up to make sure your bike is running right. Check out his e-bikes as well. Theyre fun to ride and addicting; you might just order one!
The first time I rode one of Rix s E-Bikes I was hooked. I almost could not believe an engine not powered by gas could be so powerful. The best part was the bike wasnt load! It was amazing. I probably was going 60 mph. He also will take regular bikes & convert them into an E-Bike. Maybe Ill have him do that to my bike..... :)
I have trouble with the big hills in my area. Rix Rydes built me the perfect bike! Its fast, comfortable and makes hills melt before me! All that and it cost way less than i thought it would! Do yourself a favor and talk to Rix Rydes before you buy, Im sure glad I did!
If you are looking to convert your bike to an electric bike or if you want to learn more about electric bikes, talk to Rick. He not only advised me on which bike to purchase, but helped me learn about the different options and helped me learn throughout the installation process. He is a pleasure to work and has deep knowledge of bikes--electric and traditional. If you live anywhere near Austin, San Antonio, or Houston and are considering building an e-bike, give Rick a call. I look forward to working with Rick in the future with other projects.
Let me start by saying that Rick patiently helped me work through an ebike build that was started by another builder, which had significant problems. His expertise helped me to fully recover the project to its original design intention.This project was started with the desire to replicate, to the extent practical, the seat of the pants feel of a quality motor cross bike.The donor for the project was a mid-90s era Santa Cruz Heckler. The frame design is not friendly for mounting high capacity batteries, but Rick found a way to get 52v, 13.4 amp hour battery solidly installed.During the install process Rick discovered that my controller was not compatible with the selected battery, nor was the firmware of the controller upgradable.Rather than inform me that I would have to replace the battery or the controller, Rick generously gave me HIS controller, which luckily for me had been modified to allow more power to be applied to the motor.The results of this fix allowed me to fully realize an ebike that will pull roll on wheelies under its own power.Mission complete.Ricks dedication to customer service and excellence in craftsmanship has made me a life long customer who is looking forward to the next project with Rick.Lance Remington
Extremely professional and honest! This is the guy to go to if you want the best for a reasonable price! There is nothing he cant do, from building a new bike or fixing a broken chain!
I just found my new bike guy, great work done on my bikes and 10 * customer service in my opinion !!
Rick is such a capable guy and so passionate about getting people hooked on ebikes. He will set you up quickly and follow up with outstanding service. Anything goes wrong, hell come fix it. He orders bulk from overseas so prices are similar to online DIY sellers, yet you dont have to figure out how to install and fix it yourself. And if youre looking to do something fancy or complicated, Rick is highly creative and will find the best solution. Cant say enough about the guy.
Friendly fair comprehensive eBike sales and service from a knowledgeable owner who is passionate about eBiking!A pleasure doing business with them!
Rix Rydes was there for me in a pinch. What Awesome service and friendly staff !!! They went Above and Beyond. I Highly recommend this business if you are in Canyon Lake. Thanks Rix Rydes for being A1!
I had an issue with my mountain bike derailleur. I dropped it off and it was fixed within the hour! Thanks for the speedy service Rick!
Incredibly helpful!
