As usual, she could not find a bike that fit that was not a 60 pound hybrid clunker. She has been cycling for ages, and wanted an ebike that felt like a regular bike, not her grandmothers tricycle. So she found us and we started the process to build her dream e-bike. ![](https://blog.zinn.bike/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Custom-e-bike-gen5-debbie-stewart-WEB-2-scaled.jpg?width=2560&height=1708&name=Custom-e-bike-gen5-debbie-stewart-WEB-2-scaled.jpg) This custom titanium e-bike is built as a peformance flat bar all road bike. She came into our shop for a bike fitting with Lennard where he set her up on our Guru fit cycle and found the perfect riding position. Then he designed the bike to meet those precise measurements. ![](https://blog.zinn.bike/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Custom-e-bike-gen5-debbie-stewart-WEB-1-scaled.jpg?width=2560&height=1708&name=Custom-e-bike-gen5-debbie-stewart-WEB-1-scaled.jpg) We built this e-bike with the newest Bosch motor, the Generation 5 Performance line speed motor. This motor is lighter than the Gen4 due to its more compact package and the 3dprinted motor bracket is also lighter than a cast bracket. This bike weighs in at about 35 lbs with the 545wh battery and supernova lights. ![](https://blog.zinn.bike/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Custom-e-bike-gen5-debbie-stewart-WEB-4-scaled.jpg?width=2560&height=1708&name=Custom-e-bike-gen5-debbie-stewart-WEB-4-scaled.jpg) The last step was designing some cool graphics for the frame. We did a gold to pink fade for the graphics giving it a subtle iridescent effect. ![](https://blog.zinn.bike/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Custom-e-bike-gen5-debbie-stewart-WEB-5-scaled.jpg?width=2560&height=1708&name=Custom-e-bike-gen5-debbie-stewart-WEB-5-scaled.jpg) \[/fusion\_text\]\[/fusion\_builder\_column\]\[/fusion\_builder\_row\]\[/fusion\_builder\_container\] [Gravel Bikes](https://blog.zinn.bike/tag/gravel-bikes), [e-bikes](https://blog.zinn.bike/tag/e-bikes) NI ##### Written by nick ## Related articles [View all blogs](https://blog.zinn.bike/) ### [![Plus-Size Cycling Clothing: Finding a Kit That Fits](https://blog.zinn.bike/hubfs/plus-size-cycling-clothing.webp) Plus-Size Cycling Clothing: Finding a ...
