Shoutout to our incredible team - the Pit Crew. This summer, they were the engine that kept our shop going, from our Grand Marais pop-up to our Schroeder shop. Our crew's dedication and hard work made it all possible. Folks like Cory and Charlie are the real MVPs, tackling challenges head-on and bringing our business to life! They’re the backbone of our business and community.

Uploaded straight from the summer archives 🎞️: As the summer breeze whispered through the bustling Grand Marais town, Big Tom and Tammy embarked on their classic evening cruise to the local DQ. Decked out in their finest attire, this dynamic duo graced the streets, turning heads with laughter and joy. Here’s to Big Tom and Tammy, legends of ice cream and twilight rides, whose summer adventures are the stuff of legends. Until next summer, when the DQ bells beckon them home once more.

What to wear for your Electric Trails Adventure:

😎Head: We've got helmets covered for you! If it's a sunny day, you might want to bring your sunglasses along for the ride.

🧤Body: North Shore weather is generally cool, so pants, long sleeves and gloves are recommended. They also keep those pesky bugs and mosquitos at bay.

👟Feet (Gitchi Gami & Calton Peak Ride): Any shoes will do, like tennis shoes or even crocs. Just make sure they are warm enough for windy days!

🥾Feet (Off-Road Adventure): Be ready for wet feet! Opt for proper footwear like hiking shoes to handle any muddy paths.

Be sure to explore our FAQ highlight for answers to any other questions you might have, and feel free to DM us anytime. Get ready to ride and roam the North Shore with us! ⚡️

Behind the Name: Why Super73? The alleged story goes… In 1973, there was a gas crisis, and gas prices shot up, not too dissimilar from today. So, what better way to navigate around the usage and consumption of gas than to have an electric vehicle? Hence, Super73 was the name they landed on.

But here’s where our story gets even cooler⚡️. Our current home of Electric Trails, an old service station, once catered to gas vehicles. Times have changed, and now, in an ironic twist, it's an all-electric operation. Swipe to see images from one of its past life as the 'Schroeder Short Stop'. (We are still on the search for even older pics of the building)

Over the last year, our team envisioned transforming this space into a hub for our riders, and we're thrilled to announce that a revival of the service station with a nostalgic / modern, electric twist is on its way!

🛠️Stay tuned as we start restoring this iconic building!

If you have been on the cusp of purchasing an eBike, now could be the best time ever. A new incentive in the Minnesota Senate transportation budget could provide a tax credit of up to $1,500 for those purchasing electric-assisted bikes. This is not only great news for eBike enthusiasts like us but also for the health of our city. Stay tuned as we will have more information on this exciting development soon.

Tax credits of up to $1,500 for e-bikes added to Minnesota Senate bill | MinnPost The program, which has an overall cap of $2 million, is modeled after similar e-bike incentive programs in Colorado that have been popular among consumers.
