Hey Everybody! Welcome back to another episode of the Area 13 Ebikes Podcast. I've got a guest Randy Ford on today. He is a cycling advocate and definitely an avid ebiker. He has some interesting knowledge and experience with The Loop. And many of you know, I put a video out about that quite some time ago, and I think this is going to be a great follow up conversation to that video.

So I'm really looking forward to it. And I hope you are too. Thanks again for listening and let's jump right into another episode.

In today’s episode you’ll learn more about:

The concerns that Randy had regarding The Loop in Tucson, AZ and how that pertained to his and others riding experiences.
What spurred him to write a book about The Loop and what he has found riding every single mile of it.
Why he found our video on Ebike Rights to be such a catalyst to bringing awareness to tourism and locals riding on the loop and enjoying Tucson, AZ even more.
How Randy has played a pivotal role in working with key players to bring awareness and help create positive change for the city of Tucson, AZ.
Some of the cool things you can find on The Loop (and it’s not just the peaceful trails dotted with Saguaros)
What Randy is working on next and where you can get your copy of The Loop - Atlas & Guidebook
And so much more!

Thanks again, Randy. I appreciate it again for everybody listening. Make sure to go check out The Loop, whether that's in-person at the actual trail or Randy's book on Amazon, it looks like a great resource. Like I said, I've got a copy of my hands right here. It sounds like it's only gonna get better from this point.

I appreciate him for doing that and for everyone else listening. If you're not on our email list for the podcast, you can do that by going to ebike podcast.com. If you sign up for that we will send you emails about new podcast episodes. And occasionally there might be some other information about sales or deals or new bikes or things, but primarily that is for this podcast right here.

So again, that is ebike podcast dot com and thank you everybody for listening. And I will talk to you on another Tuesday.

Why Area 13? | EP 104

Hey Everybody! Welcome back to another episode of, well, actually not The Bolton Ebikes Podcast. If you haven't heard the news, we have changed our name. It is now Area 13.

I want it to take this time to talk about why this change happened? Give you a little bit of the background, the story, because this probably came out of the blue for many of you. And I also want to reassure you that nothing is actually changing behind the scenes.

I'm still the owner of the company. Our employees are not changing. Our physical location is not changing.

This really is just a name, change a rebranding of the company. So I want to take some time to basically tell you the story of how this happened. How did we get here, when Bolton Ebikes has been such a big part of what we're doing with electric bikes?

I am Kyle Chittock, The owner of Area 13 Electric Bikes. Our new slogan is, Electric bikes that are out of this world. Hopefully that will all make sense if you're not already picking up on all of the little hints and things already. So, yeah, let's kind of jump into this a little bit.

In this episode you'll learn more about:

Why did we change our electric bicycle company name?
How did we come up with Area 13?
What has been the process of the brand and name change?
What steps we took and how long the process took to protect the empire we had built.
You'll hear some of the comments from our viewers and listeners about the name change.
What you can expect from Area 13 and why this is a positive thing.
And so much more!

Thanks again for listening to The Area 13 Podcast. Again, I'm Kyle owner of Area 13, and I will talk to you on another Tuesday.
