Chris Nolte is a very quiet spoken, humble guy – especially for an American!
After enduring some life changing trauma in the Iraq war, Chris started questioning
America’s oil based economic system and compromises that this led to.
He became a pioneering retailer of e-bikes in the USA, a heinous crime that earned him a
huge fine in New York City!
But Chris fought city hall and eventually won this David vs Goliath battle. Over the years his
Propel Bikes business has grown from the smallest possible start-up in to one of the USA’s
largest e-bike retailers.
Meanwhile Chris has built the incredibly popular Propel YouTube channel that is now his
primary full time job, with over 54,000 subscribers and over 11 million views.
