Our Mission
Our mission at Crazy Lennys eBikes is that we are committed to use our expertise to match you with an eBikes that will provide years of fun and fitness for you.
How it all started
Crazy Lenny’s Electric Bikes was started by Len Mattioli after a lifetime of being a bicycle enthusiast. In 2012, he and his sons went for a long ride on traditional bikes around the lakes in Madison, WI. After the ride, Len suffered some aches and pains. He did some research to see if there was an easier way to cycle and purchased his first eBikes. He fell in love instantly. Len’s thoughts were “Everyone needs one of these in their garage!”
Shortly afterward, he decided that Madison, WI needed an eBikes only store, and in March of 2013, he opened Crazy Lenny’s Electric Bikes. In his first year, Len sold over 400 eBikes. The store has grown to become North American’s largest single-location eBikes retailer.
How We Vet Our eBikes
We have been in business for over a decade, and we have learned many things. One of the keys to our success
has been to align ourselves with high quality manufacturers. We strongly believe in only selling brands that pass
our quality and safety standards. Before we purchase bikes from any manufacturer, we go through a tough screen-
ing process that evaluates the quality of the bikes from a company, and the quality of the company itself as well.
Once they receive our stamp of approval, we move forward with them.

If they meet our standards, we proudly sell them at Crazy Lenny's.

I’ve been working for Crazy Lenny’s E-Bikes for 10 years.
I enjoy all types of biking but spend most of my time in the woods on one of my mountain bikes.
When I’m not working or riding I enjoy time with my wife and our 4 dogs. (Bloodhound, Bluetick Coonhound, Havanese, and Bernadoodle.) Most days Ohly (Bernadoodle) can be found in the shop working or napping.
Stop by anytime to say Hi or talk about e-bikes.

Customer Support
I’ve helped customers to find the best ebike at Crazy Lenny’s since 2016. Whether it is finding that right bike or assisting a seasoned rider in finding their next adventure, my warmth and empathy is always focused on listening to customers.
This, together with my lifelong passion to modify, build, invent, and adventure on any wheeled, winged or sailing contraption gives me an inspirational “can do” spirit that helps customers realize their dreams on an Ebike.
Besides biking and exploring the rolling hills and valleys around my farm in southwest Wisconsin, you might run into me on family outings in one of our state parks or paddling on our great lakes or rivers. Happy Trails!

It is extremely rewarding to learn the specific goals of each person we work with and, together, find that “right” bike to help them attain those goals.

Chris Hinshaw
Service Department Mechanic
Chris has been a lover of bikes since his childhood in central Wisconsin when he saved enough dish washing money to buy his first bike and found boundless freedom: the means to take himself to school, to friends’ houses, and on any adventures he could dream up. Many years, bikes, and miles later, Chris still prefers to travel by bicycle whenever possible, and enjoys building, testing, and riding new products as the bike industry evolves. At Lenny’s, Chris enjoys the atmosphere that supports his creative, playful spirit, and he loves supporting other riders in keeping their bikes on the trail. On a recent morning, when Chris looked out his kitchen window to the bike path near his home and saw a Lenny’s bike with the rider’s face beaming in joy, he couldn’t help but catch the smile for his own. Knowing that he is helping other riders find the same sense of freedom is the greatest reward.
