Our Driving Force
Never Be Left Behind: Our Origin
The vision for Chilled Squirrel began with a simple, profound goal: to eliminate inhibition and bring people closer together. Our electric bikes are designed to ensure every rider—regardless of age, fitness level, or experience—can stay connected with family and friends, giving everyone full control to enjoy the ride.
Stick together with family and friends, and never be left behind.
Bond with nature and friends without feeling inhibited by terrain or distance.
Naturally achieve the perfect mix of cardio exercise, mental health, and adventure.
Who We Build Electric Bikes For
At Chilled Squirrel, we craft electric bikes for riders who value connection, freedom, and purpose. Here's who rides with us.
For Those Who Connect on a Deeper Level
We build for people who want to ride together—without the limitation of assistance levels separating the group. Whether it's family, friends, or riding buddies, our e-bikes ensure everyone stays connected throughout the journey. Enjoy meaningful conversations, maintain a steady heart rate for controlled cardio exercise, and share the experience without anyone being left behind.
For Adventurers Who Demand Reliability
We build for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle with confidence. Our electric bikes are engineered to perform safely and durably across any South African terrain—from coastal paths to mountain trails. When you need to get away, you need a bike you can trust.
For Riders Who Fine-Tune Their Experience
We build for people who prefer to customize their ride with aftermarket components that match their unique preferences. Whether you're optimizing for comfort, distance, or specific terrain—soft sand, rocky trails, road riding, or combinations of all—our platform lets you dial in the perfect setup for your riding style.
For Those Who Care About Legacy
We build for people who care about the environment and want to contribute to the future. Through our tree-planting initiative, you can leave a legacy for your kids and grandkids while offsetting your carbon footprint. With GPS coordinates for your planted tree, you can even visit it on future rides. Planting trees connects us with the nature we love to cycle through—let's contribute to something larger than ourselves. Literally.
For Supporters of Local Craftsmanship
We build for people who want to support locally made products. While we import crucial components, over 50% of our e-bikes are built locally in South Africa. This approach allows you to fine-tune your e-bike in terms of comfort, color, size, and range—creating a personalized ride instead of a one-size-fits-all product, while supporting local artisans.
For Those Investing in Health & Longevity
We build for people who understand that steady, balanced cardio exercise is key to living longer and healthier. Our e-bikes help you maintain controlled heart rate zones while connecting with family and friends—bringing more enjoyment, freedom, and health to your life without ever being left behind.
My Story
Howdy, I am Matt Leve, founder of Chilled Squirrel. After a challenging and scary MTB ride experience, I became passionate about getting others' bums onto saddles too. It's been a game and life changer to say the least.
