EP 12 | Ride It. Break It. Build It. Sell It. - Mike Rodgers of Dirty Bike

Dirty Bike has been in the e-moto world since the very beginning. We sat down with founder Mike Rodgers to dig into his engineering background, the origin story of Dirty Bike, and how they’ve been solving real-world problems on these machines — not just selling parts.

In this episode we cover a ton: battery storage and overheating issues, how to properly weld Ultra Bee swingarms, Mike’s history with Surron, the races they attend, the abuse their race bikes take, and why their chain-drive conversion kit might be the right move for you.
