“Appearing on NBR’s ‘Bright Ideas,’ inspires others to reap the benefits of taking an innovative idea out of the ideation phase and into the execution phase,” said Nolte. “Even with limited means, before I knew it, I had built something noteworthy.”
Propel started in a small, second floor office with a motivating belief that electric bikes would change people’s lives. Since 2011, Propel has been closely listening to their customer’s needs, and has spent countless hours traveling and researching to learn more about ebike technology as it evolves. Propel’s founder is an advocate for changes in policy that promote a more equitable stake for ebikes in the world of transportation. Propel believes in a more sustainable future.
Electric bikes are frequently used as a sustainable method of alternative transport (for individuals or families) or for recreation, exercise, fun and those with physical ailments. In the words of Nolte, “Electric bikes are ‘changing the way we move.’”
