OUR STORY

Our founder's passion started in the 1970’s as a young boy living in Northern California. He spent his free time customizing skateboards and motocross bikes on a preteen budget. With Italian heritage from both sides of his family, style and design were never sacrificed in anything he created.

Later influenced by an electrical engineer business partner with a love and knowledge for electric motors, our founder originally started our company in 2016 as an advanced lithium-ion battery company. As COVID-19 changed the business landscape around the world in 2020, he decided to follow his passion and create his own luxury ebike brand, centered around his knowledge of high-powered lithium-ion batteries and his childhood passion for motocross bikes. He named this blended style between an ebike and a motocross bike a “CROSSBIKE”, and began the process of trademarking the name, which later became our company name.

In December 2023, CROSSBIKE launched their  inaugural, limited edition, luxury electric bike with uncompromised design and performance, “THE MX1”.

Based near both coasts in California and North Carolina, CROSSBIKE sells their luxury motocross-style electric bikes at fine retailers, predominantly upscale bike stores with a shared passion for our brand.

WE SUPPORT LOCAL BIKE STORES:

At CROSSBIKE, we do NOT sell our luxury ebikes online or at the big box retailers. When someone comes to our website and wants to place an order online, we refer that order to one of our local bike dealers.   If there isn’t one in the area, we sign up a new dealer.  Why?  Because when it comes to buying an ebike, people want to touch it, feel it, and ride it.  And when they want to customize it, adjust it, or fix it, they want to be able to go to their local bike store. The way things used to be.

CROSSBIKE will always be a premium brand at a fair price, designed for our motocross and biking enthusiasts.  We listened to the experts that helped us build and design our brand. All our models will incorporate high-quality, best-in-class parts, with timeless Italian design.  

CROSSBIKE: “California Engineering Meets Italian Design”.

At CROSSBIKE, our ebike design will always honor the iconic designs of the last 100+ years of motocross, specifically the initial iconic Italian motocross designs of Ancillotti in the mid-1960’s.

As motocross quickly spread from Britain in 1909, to all throughout Europe in the next few decades, motocross became a way of life for its enthusiasts.  As motocross hit the shores of the US in the late 1960’s, it quickly became one of the fastest growing sports in US history.  

Motocross has greatly influenced motorcycle design throughout the world. At CROSSBIKE, our retro Italian designs honor the heritage of motocross, while also remaining true to our promise of best-in-class performance and safety.
