Santa’s Getting a
Brand New eBike!

Posted on by

Printed in festive red and green letters the slogan glimmered on the poster stapled to the telephone pole under the street corner light. Santa had to adjust his glasses just to make sure he was reading the poster correctly.

THE E-BIKE INDUSTRY HAS BEEN DISRUPTED!

“Well Ho-Ho-Ho, what do you know. I do believe this is related to the “Dear Santa” letter that I received before Christmas from my most inventive elf Wunorse. That crazy old elf, he could have just texted me. I mean we just got 5G at the North Pole for goodness sake.”

Santa looks over his shoulder and sees Blitzen texting a message on his new phone. That was Mrs. Clauses’ idea, get the reindeers new cell phones for presents this year. 

“Why does a reindeer need a cell phone anyway? Heck we should have gotten them something more practical like bicycles.” Santa blurts out loud to nobody in particular.

“You know, there is a lot of attention on these E-bikes right now and it wasn’t just Wunorse that put the ‘Disruptor’ bike on their wish list. I had so many requests this year for this new E-Bike called the Disruptor. Hmmm, maybe there is something to these E-Bikes with the powerful motor, automatic electronic shifting and custom frames built to the riders specifications.”

Santa ponders a thought as he looks down candy cane lane, a light snow falls from the North Pole sky and it appears Blitzen has discovered something called geocaching.

“For the love of all the mistletoe on this earth, I should treat myself to one of these Disruptor bikes. An E-Bike that shifts automatically, sports a 750W capable motor, can shift under torque and the bicycle is hand built in the USA to my specifications… what am I waiting for”

“Blitzen, put down that phone and get your lazy reindeer antlers over here, we are heading to Seattle!”

“Ahhhh, Santa – Can this wait until I finish the whack-an-elf game I just downloaded?” Blitzen said emphatically.

“NO!” Santa quickly retorted.

Santa and Blitzen plot their course and soon they are heading south to R+E Bicycles located in the University District of Seattle WA. 

“Ho-Ho-Ho Let’s goooooooo.”

The journey was quick and they arrived at the shop with a clatter, Dan the company’s owner came out to see what was the matter. A man and a reindeer is what he did see, how cool is that he thought, Santa is here at R+E. 

Dear Santa

Rodriguez Disruptor Automatic Shifting eBike

Dear Santa,

I don’t want to be too much of a Copper Stopper Bugger Hugger this year, however I want a bright new shiny bicycle under the tree. Not just any ordinary old bike, Santa. I want one that has a powerful electric assist motor as well as automatic electronic shifting. And to top it all off, I want it to be custom built to my specifications. 

I know what you are thinking, Santa. “Ho-Ho-Ho! Why, that doesn’t even exist. How can my elves make something that hasn’t even been invented yet?”

Santa, it does exist and it’s available right now!

Your elves are not privy to this technology yet so let me tell you where this bicycle decked out with all these goodies can be found. The bicycle is called the Disruptor and can be found at R+E Cycles in the University District of Seattle Washington.

Santa, let me explain a little more about the Disruptor:

  • A powerful motor capable of 750W
  • Automatic (yes automatic) or Manual electronic shifting that is uniquely engineered to withstand the torque that the powerful motor can dish out
  • A bunch of high-end components are already included
  • A reasonable weight (heck, even I can lift it up on my roof rack)
  • Any paint job you desire. There are standard colors available but if you want to go the custom route you can do that as well – If you desire a paint job that looks like a peppermint candy cane, R+E can do that!  
  • And the bike frame is hand built in the U.S.A to my specifications

With all the letters I imagine you will be receiving about the Disruptor I should also tell you the Disruptor comes in two basic styles, Step-Through or Sloping Top Tube, and that when you purchase a bicycle from R+E Cycles you are not only buying a bike, you are buying a whole bike company.

You might say this bike is a Christmas wish come true!

Sincerely,

Wunorse Openslae

Disrupt the Holidays!

Rodriguez Disruptor Automatic Shifting Electric Bike

Put away the Thanksgiving decorations and throw away that leftover turkey hanging out in the back of your refrigerator, it’s time to dig out the bin of holiday movies and get your tree up. Ahhhh, the holidays. What a wonderfully magical and stressful time of year. Wouldn’t it be nice if decorating the house was automatic? Just sit back on the couch, press the “decorate the house for the holidays” button on the remote, and “ho-ho-ho” the tree is lit and all those festive knick-knacks you have collected over the years are in their place.

Now that you have all this free time, you can go for a holiday ride. Wouldn’t it be nice if your bicycle were automatic as well? Well hold on to your eggnog because I’ve got some holiday cheer for you! Rodriguez Bicycles’ Disruptor™ electric-assist bike, equipped with the Shift-E™ automatic electronic shifting system, is ready to take flight. How about that? An eBike from a company with 47 years experience in bicycles!

Unlike the frustrating process of finding the “decorate the house” remote lost in the couch cushions, operating the Shift-E™ system is simple. Shift-E has two modes you can place it in, manual or automatic. Set in automatic mode, you can pedal and relax as the Shift-E electronic shifting recognizes the speed at which you are traveling and shifts for you automatically. If you happen to find yourself riding home with a bag full of toys strapped to your rack you can keep your mind on thoughts of the holidays without a care about shifting.

Protect your investment: Not only does Shift-E™ have the ability to automatically shift for you, it is engineered to withstand the punishing torque that E-Bike motors dish out. It will also choose the right gear to protect your E-bike motor. No more over-torquing. Shift-E™ allows you to fly up the neighborhood hills without any pedaling interruptions, awkward shifts, or worrying if you’re in the right gear.

Don’t forget the holiday cookies! To sweeten up the deal the Rodriguez Disruptor™ has plenty of power for any hill or any ride. With up to 750W of power, you could strap a sleigh on the back of your Rodriguez Distruptor™ to deliver cookies and good cheer to an entire neighborhood.

Combining the Shift-E™ shifting system with a powerful E-Bike motor, the Rodriguez Disruptor™ can handle whatever holiday havoc you can throw it’s way. It’s like having eight reindeer in front of you effortlessly leading the way back to the North Pole after a full day of delivering toys.

Stop by the shop, grab a holiday cookie and take a Disruptor for a spin.
