As a parent currently raising two
young boys of riding age, I found myself in utter disbelief when a routine
training lesson (with my youngest son on his PW50 equipped
with generic training wheels) almost turned catastrophic. Prior
to this accident, I had installed those very same training wheels (which
bolts up to the rear shocks) onto my oldest son's PW50. Yet, like so
many parents, I did not realize that there could be any danger of a
tipover. Well, when that product did show its serious limitations and
a bloody tipover ensued, I felt a strong desire to come up with something
that would be safer and correct.
I've spent my career in engineering
management for several product - based manufacturers, and eventually
became a co-owner of one. So when I began developing the product conceptual
and prototype for these training wheels, the standard I've implemented
from the beginning is to achieve and maintain the highest safety margin
obtainable at the lowest manufacturing cost. The metals and related
components selected for each product is strictly based on engineering
specifications and ASTM code, and therefore will never be compromised
and procured from bargain discounters or scrap yards. Our stringent
safety and performance parameters mandates a comprehensive test methodology
and verification. We therefore test each product under actual riding
conditions over dirt terrain as well as over pavement. We test incessantly,
for there isn't a week that goes by with us not wanting to gear up and
put our test mules through their paces. (It's also a great way of getting
us all out of the shop and ride!)
our MISSION STATEMENT, therefore,
is simply this:
eZ RiDE products will be honest in their design, intent, and execution
while delivering the performance, safety, and innovation that we expect
and demand for our children. We will always back up our products, services,
and ethic with honesty, integrity, and truth.
