Our Founders

The New Wheel founders both have roots in the San Francisco Bay Area. Brett was born and raised in the hills of San Francisco. Karen was born in Copenhagen, but moved when she was young to Sausalito, where her family has lived since the 1940's.

Brett and Karen met as undergraduates at UC Berkeley in Robert Reich’s public policy class and have been together ever since. They are pretty sure that their compatibility can be chalked up to shared ambition to go beyond the status quo, a passion for improving the quality of life in the Bay Area, and a mutual contrarian streak.

Brett and Karen's passion for electric bikes can be attributed to many things, but the combination of growing up among San Francisco's legendary hills and a lasting desire to do good work for their community top the list.
