How a Rejected Idea Changed the Future of Cycling Forever
From Swiss Trails to Turbo Innovation
What does it take to change the way the world rides?
In this episode of Ride to Success, host Pedro Couto Lopes sits down with Marco Sonderegger, Director of Turbo Product Experience at Specialized Bicycle Components, to uncover the story behind some of the most influential e-bikes ever made.
