History

Envodrive was founded in 2015 by Ali Kazemkhani as a one-person operation in a Vancouver flat, initially designing DIY bicycle conversion kits after testing over 200 bike types in Canada. The company expanded with engineers, added a physical store, warehouses, and customer support, launching products like D35, Lynx, ST, Flex, Snowbike, e-scooters, 50 series ebikes, and e-ATV. In 2019, it established independent retail operations under ebikeBC to focus on R&D and partnerships; it later acquired Veemo from bankruptcy, planning its market reintroduction.¹²⁵
