Our Story
N.E.R.D. (Newman Electric Research & Development) is committed to bringing electric transportation to the world. Our team of expert technicians provides service to all of our ebikes and scooters as well as designing custom electric rides for your needs. We road test all of the bikes we purchase and custom build to assure quality and performance. We believe in the future of electric transportation and the benefits it provides for our environment, our community and the planet.
Our story begins with a passion for riding. Our founder Owen Newman got his first electric scooters off Craiglist in 2018 and didn’t look back. His large family immediately joined in the fun and the family business was born. He has since built, designed and purchased over a hundred electric bikes, trikes, scooters and family vehicles.
N.E.R.D. has always been an electric research and design company at heart. We find our success through creative problem solving, and we never stop pushing the limit. Whether it is finding ways to reach higher top speeds, better battery storage or optimizing user friendliness, the customers' needs drive our development process. For us the product comes before profit. We source parts from only the most trusted names in the industry like Shimano, BaFang, Maxxis, Sram, Tektro, Samsung and LG. Using parts from these manufacturers ensures that quality is never a question, and the cost for the end consumer stays low.
