Anei... Kenny Gill
Kenny hails from New Delhi, India and has got to be hands down one of the NICEST guys working in the industry we’ve ever met. He’s REALLY good with people. As in u can be having a gawd-awful day and this guy will just make you smile and move right along. He comes from a strong legal background, a Specialized lawyer in Intellectual Property Laws,
He’s great at:
-
Formidable leadership (yep, seen that),
-
Developing effective business strategies.
-
Filing law suits! (....glad he's on our side!)
FAVOURITE FOOD: Rajma Chawal (Red kidney beans curry with rice)
FUN FACT: He was the shortest national basketball player ever!
Anei... Amandeep "Aman" Singh
Aman is one of the sweetest souls you can ever hope to meet. We had to introduce a ‘sarcasm box’ when he first arrived, in order for the rest of us (Chris) to curb sarcastic humour in favour of the straight-talking, ‘speak-my-truth’, language with which Aman was raised in his native Jagraon - a very small town in the heart of punjab (North India).
He is our Guru on all matters electrical, be they BOSCH, Shimano, Dapu, Bafang et al. Aman is pre-conditioned to (lit.) bend over backwards to solve a (technical) problem. He can’t help it. What’s more: he will download you with all the (gory) details if you ask him. Again, he can’t help it. He is just born lovely.
Anei... Eloise
Eloise is a certified bike nerd, she showed up in our Devonport shop when she was only 17 years old and told us how she built an electric skateboard at home. We immediately noticed her potential and invited her to join our team, she has been working with us for the last 3 summers.
Eloise is studying to be a Mechatronics Engineer, that is why she enjoys talking about bikes and electric transports all day!
SUPER-POWER: She can teach anyone how to ride a bike.

SUPER-POWER: Organization! You won't find anything out of place in the Queenstown shop.
