Off Grid Rides was created by Lydia and Travis out of a shared love for Talkeetna, adventure, and exploring Alaska in a new way. Lydia was born in Talkeetna and later found her way back to her roots, while Travis came north for a summer and quickly fell in love with the town, the landscape, and the community. After discovering how fun and accessible e-bikes made exploring together, they wanted to help visitors and locals experience Talkeetna with the same sense of freedom, connection, and adventure.
