February 24, 2023 - O2RIDE is pleased to announce that they have expanded across the country and are now the exclusive Canadian distributors of Slane E-Bikes. Having earned the trust of their valued eastern Canadian dealers, O2RIDE looks forward to delivering their excellent customer service, parts availability and technical support to dealers in western Canada.
As part of their expansion, O2RIDE has hired Motovan Inc., one of Canada’s largest and oldest power sports distributors, as their third-party logistics provider. The “Enhanced 3PL Service” will include warehousing, shipping, invoicing, credit, accounts receivable, digital B2B and human resources in all departments as needed.
All Slane e-bikes are built with quality aluminum frames and have brand-name components like Shimano, Kenda, CST and Tektro, from folding models like the Columbus or Rideau, step-through models like the Caledon and Rideau, and mountain and fat e-bikes like the Santiago and Ajax. There’s even a trike model called the Acadian.
Established in March 2020 as the exclusive eastern Canadian distributor O2RIDE’s eastern dealer network quickly grew to over 75 authorized Slane E-Bike retailers in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes.
“O2RIDE’s business model is a proven winner! We’re pleased to extend their exclusive distribution rights across Canada,” commented Bill and Annie Chen, owners of Slane E-Bike Ltd.
“We’re excited to see how well Slane E-Bikes has grown and look forward to working with western Canadian dealers. Based on our projected growth, we have hired Motovan Inc. as our 3PL provider,” said O2RIDE owners Allan Jaggard and Anne Coleman.
“This is a win/win relationship that will allow O2RIDE to grow and operate more efficiently,” added James Paladino, CEO of Motovan Inc.
O2RIDE and Slane E-Bike Ltd are also pleased to announce that as of 2023, they will join JETWERX, the promotions company behind the Triple Crown Series, Canada’s Premiere National Motocross series, in a multi-year agreement.
This National Series will bring greater consumer brand awareness to Slane E-Bikes as the series travels from British Columbia to the Maritimes, offering coverage of all 12 rounds on FOX SPORTS TV and live streaming of each event on the RYDE TV Networks app.
