At Buckeye Custom E-Bikes LLC on Kidron Rd in Fredericksburg, Ohio, our story is rooted in passion, innovation, and community. Founded by Roy Kauffman, what started as a simple love for cycling evolved into a mission to make biking more accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Roy’s daily bike commutes through the hills of Holmes County, Ohio came to a halt in 2010 due to health challenges and a career shift, leaving his bike to gather dust in the basement. That period of reflection sparked a question: how could cycling adapt to life’s changes?
Around that time, electric bike assist kits were emerging, particularly those using Lithium batteries. Initially, Roy wasn’t interested—they were expensive and didn’t offer much range. Everything changed when his cousin introduced him to a Lithium-Ion battery kit. While e-bike batteries became more affordable by 2023, their safety and reliability still lagged behind. This realization drove Roy to seek out the safest, most dependable batteries built to meet North American safety standards.
That pursuit led to a pivotal partnership with Zen E-Bikes a leader in advanced battery technology. Zen’s high-capacity, efficient batteries provide longer ranges and consistent power, ideal for extended rides and demanding use. With over 20 years of industry experience, Zen’s dedicated in-house research and development team has redefined battery safety, longevity, and performance. This partnership perfectly aligns with Roy’s mission at Buckeye Custom E-Bikes—to deliver top-quality e-bikes and exceptional service to the community.
What began as a basement hobby between Roy and his cousins—converting traditional bikes into electric ones—has grown into a thriving business. Today, Buckeye Custom E-Bikes operates from a full-service workshop and has expanded with a sister location, **Mid Ohio E-Bikes LLC**, specializing in electric bikes and trikes. Yet, Buckeye Custom E-Bikes remains the heart of Roy’s vision, leading the way in quality and service.
Now, riders from all across Ohio, western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, and the rest of the United States trust Buckeye Custom E-Bikes for premium e-bike solutions. Whether you’re a new rider or a seasoned cyclist, Roy and his team are dedicated to providing you with more freedom, power, and reliability on every ride. At Buckeye Custom E-Bikes, innovation and passion continue to drive us forward, redefining how our community rides.
