How Chris Zahner Turned a White Lie into a Fast-Growing E-Bike Company

By Ben Swanger | www.dmagazine.com

The Zooz Bikes co-founder and his partners are carving out market share in the forecasted $52 billion e-bike industry with a unique, patented design.

Fort Worth-based Zooz Bikes is the first company to give the e-bike market something it had never seen—a motorcycle-style seat on a BMX bike frame. Last year, Zooz fulfilled 1,200 preorders for the first iteration of its $2,600 e-bike. Now, with a patent for its design in hand, Zahner expects to sell another 3,000 to 5,000 in 2022.
