Only Lazy Americans E-bike
A Dutchman with a dislike for cycling, is struck with a mysterious illness. He can barely move. Doctors at Johns Hopkins tell him: The only cure is to exercise. He rides an e-bike across America, battling mud, fallen trees, and raging storms—while confronting the question: are e-bikes really just toys for “Fat, Lazy Americans?”

Thank you for being part of the journey!

What begins as a personal struggle becomes also a sustainability journey, as he discovers the efficiency of e-bikes and how this new form of mobility empowers and connects communities, from veterans to individuals living with disabilities.


And somewhere along the way, he becomes an American himself, failing in his quest to find anyone who truly hates e-bikes, as he rides 4,685+ miles from Washington, DC to San Francisco along the historic Lincoln Highway, in support of peripheral neuropathy research and education.
