·Unleashing the Beast: Our Electric Revolution at Hi Power Cycles
Ever dreamed of tearing through the woods on two wheels, the wind in our faces and nothing but the hum of tires fueling our adrenaline? At Hi Power Cycles (HPC), we’re making that dream a reality. We urge you to take a deep dive on our website to learn about what we offer. We’re thrilled to share what drives us—this isn’t just about e-bikes; it’s about crafting machines that fuse bicycle agility with motorcycle power, all built right here in the USA. Here’s our electrifying story.
The Origin Story: From College Sweat to Life-Saving Rides
HPC’s story starts with two brothers, Chris and Derek Hunt, who founded the company back in 2008. Picture this: Chris, a college student at UC Davis, pedaling his way to class, arriving sweaty and exhausted. He thought, “There’s got to be a better way.” Fast forward to a solar-powered bike project at Occidental College, and the spark was lit. With Derek’s business savvy from UC Santa Barbara, they sold their first converted Schwinn on eBay—to a Texas police officer who used it to save lives after Hurricane Ike. That’s not just a bike; that’s a legacy.
The Lineup: Power Meets Precision
Our current offerings are a testament to their mission: high-performance e-bikes built from the ground up in their Simi Valley warehouse. Let’s break down a few stars of the show.
-
The Revolution: This beast is billed as one of the fastest e-bikes out there, with power options pushing up to 10,000 watts and speeds topping 80 mph. It’s lightweight (starting around 79 pounds) and agile enough for tight singletrack trails. Imagine zipping through a forest with nothing but the sound of nature—pure freedom.
The Trailblazer: A carbon-fiber enduro masterpiece starting at $6,500. With up to 2,000 watts and a 50-mile range, it’s designed to conquer any terrain. Think of it as the ultimate off-road companion for adrenaline junkies.
The Titan: This fat tire this bad boy boasts an ultra torquey Mid Drive motor with up to 250Nm torque with fat 4.8" tires for ultimate traction. Paired with Rock Shox suspension and Magura hydraulic brakes, it’s built for the wildest rides—think rocky hills, soft sand and muddy trails.
Made in the USA: Craftsmanship You Can Feel
What sets HPC apart? We're not just assembling pre-fab kits. Every bike is meticulously hand-built in the U.S., from the frame to the battery packs. Head over to our “About Us” to learn more. We are a team of engineers, mechanics, and pro riders who test each component to its limits. They even lace their own wheels and tune suspension in-house. In an age of mass production, this level of care feels rebellious—and refreshing.
Power That Packs a Punch
We don't mess around when it comes to power, we are Hi Power Cycles afterall! Our bikes offer throttle options (a rarity in the e-bike world) and ranges up to 100 miles on some models. The Revolution’s optional 86V 2,400Wh battery is capable of 100+ miles on throttle alone. Whether you’re climbing a steep incline or racing across a dry lake bed, our bikes deliver torque and speed that’ll leave your friends in the dust.
The Community Vibe
Over the course of 17 years, we have developed a tight nit group of HPC enthusiast, always looking to stay ahead of the curve. Most of our customers are in fact REPEAT customers who come back to us every few years to upgrade. We are proud of each and every product that leaves our facility as something we'd be proud to ride. Over the course of 17 years, we have proudly served 30,000+ happy customers. We aren't just selling bikes, we are building a community of people who appreciate quality, performance, and American made products!
Deals and Demos: A Bargain Hunter’s Dream
For those eyeing a deal, the “Specials” section is a goldmine. Pre-owned and demo bikes can start as low as $2,000, fully refurbished with a 3-month warranty. This is your chance to get totally custom one-off builds, pre-owned, or shop demo bikes for INSANE prices! Keep a lookout since these deals tend to go FAST!
Why HPC Stands Out
Buying an HPC bike isn't just about buying a bike or kit, it's about investing in a QUALITY product that far outperforms anything on the market, while also supporting USA workmanship. We understand our price may look higher on paper, but once you understand the quality differences in terms of quality, workmanship, and components, you will realize our bikes last longer, perform better, and are backed by a much stronger warranty. In terms of staying power, we have been in business longer than 99.9% of e-bike companies in existence.
Our lineup is catered to those who want a premium machine throughout, and not skimping on quality. It is for riders who crave power, durability, and a touch of rebellion. We understand it is not cheap, but you’re paying for American craftsmanship, cutting-edge tech, and a ride that feels like it was made just for you.
Your passion for quality and performance is what DRIVES OUR INNOVATION! So, next time you’re itching for an adventure, be sure to check out our e-bike lineup.
You might just find yourself dreaming of the open trail—and the bike that’ll take you there.
