Superhuman Bikes magazine Issue No.3 Featuring Dylan Grey

To start off could you introduce yourself to the readers?

“Hi my name is Dylan Grey and I'm 30 years old. I've lived in Poway, Ca most of my life and have been riding bicycles on and off for about 18 years.”

What got you mountain biking and racing them?

“I tried downhill when I was 15 and I really liked it but ended up back on my bmx after a couple bad crashes. I didn't get around to racing until 2020.”

What kind of racing do you do?

“I race Enduro. A mix of fitness and technical riding.”

Tell us a little bit about your racing career...

“I did a quick and dirty cross country series and liked being on the bike but not the pedaling. So I tried a Enduro race and felt like that's where I belong.”

Do you have any memorable moments that you can share with the Superhuman mag readers?

“Probably when you guys hit me up to shoot a promotional video. I had never had an opportunity like that and it meant a lot that yall reached out.”

What is most challenging about what you do?

“Some of the climbs are pretty challenging but... can't go down without going up."

What is most rewarding about what you do?

“Making it down in one piece haha.”

Do you have any previous experiences with emtbs?

“Not really. I rode a couple in a parking lot and jumped one a few times. But until Superhuman hit me up I had never spent a day riding one.”

How does an emtb hold up to traditional mtbs?

“I think it holds up very well. There are lot of advantages and disadvantages but I think it's more about the experience than whether a motor is helping you or not.”

What are the pros and cons of both?

“Pro for the ebike would be climbs are a breeze. Cons for the ebike would be the weight until you are used to it. Pros for the traditional bike would be weight and not having to charge it. Cons for the traditional bike would be you being the motor that powers the bike haha”

How did you like the weapon?

“I really enjoyed riding the Superhuman Weapon! It was so fun and agile for the weight and size.”

What gets you hyped up to ride?

"Just knowing I'm going to enjoy the outdoors gets me pretty hyped haha."

What is your favorite course or riding area?

“Thats a tough one but I think Skypark would have to be my favorite. Trails are always taken care of and ready to rip!”

People say that you don’t need the extra power of an emtb and that riding emtbs makes you lazy? Do you believe that's true?

“Not at all! Everyone has there own struggle or battle that you might not see. If the ebike gets you back outside and happy then I don't think you are lazy.”

What would you say to someone who says that emtbs make you lazy?

“Have you ever spent a day on a ebike? It still requires fitness and skill.”

Do you have any memorable bails?

“Too many haha but the past one resulted in a broken clavicle.”

What’s your first memory of cycling?

“Plowing through some bushes because I couldn't stop.”

What does the training process look like when you’re getting ready for a race?

“Well it's a lot of riding haha. Mostly cross country to keep my endurance up to par but I mix in some technical riding to keep the mind sharp. I also mix the gym in with some light weight a few times a week.”

Take us through the mental space before the start of a race, during and after? Where is your mind at and what's going on in your mind

“Mostly I'm just telling myself "it's just another day on the bike" and don't think, just do before and during the race. After the race I go through mistakes and try not to beat myself up too much.”

Mtb and enduro is thrilling, and adrenaline filled, what techniques do you use to manage those anxiety filled emotions. Before, after and during a race?

“Mostly just breathing. Sounds crazy right? Haha. I think if I breath calm then I'll be calm. I can be kind of chatty too with the others so that helps take the mind off having to send it down a trail as fast as you can. ”

You told me a little bit about growing up surfing, skating, and doing bmx. All of which are brutal and unforgiving sports. What about these sports gravitates you towards them?

"Outside of the adrenaline and the thrill I guess seeing what I am capable of? I'm not really sure how to answer this one. All these sports just feel natural to me."

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question? We've got answers.

What's the best commuter ebike?

For daily commuting, the Babymaker II Pro is our most popular pick. It weighs just 35 lbs — light enough to carry up stairs or onto transit — and its Gates Carbon Belt Drive means virtually zero maintenance. A single charge gets you 20–70+ miles depending on assist level.

If you want cargo capacity and a more upright position, the Moonrider is a great alternative with dual racks and a Bafang mid-drive motor that handles hills with ease.

What's the best lightweight ebike?

The Babymaker II is our lightest model at just 33 lbs — significantly lighter than most ebikes on the market. Its minimalist frame and compact battery keep the weight down without sacrificing range or performance. Perfect if you need to carry it up stairs or store it under a desk.

Do I need a license to ride a Superhuman ebike?

In most US states, no license, registration, or insurance is required to ride an ebike — as long as it meets federal ebike classification standards. Most Superhuman models meet these requirements. Rules vary by state and municipality, so we recommend checking your local laws, especially for Class 3 bikes on trails or shared paths.

What's a fat tire ebike?

Fat tire ebikes feature oversized tires — typically 4 inches wide or more. Those wide tires give you more traction on loose surfaces like sand, gravel, and snow, better shock absorption, and increased stability at low speeds or in technical terrain. Great for riders who want to go off the beaten path or ride year-round regardless of conditions.

If you're looking for the best fat tire electric bike for all-terrain riding, the Superhuman Bikes Bomber is our top pick. The Bomber is a 750W scrambler-style fat tire ebike built to go anywhere — sand, trails, dirt roads, or city streets. It runs on a 48V 17Ah battery with 40+ miles of range, 20-inch fat tires for maximum grip, hydraulic brakes, dual suspension, a comfortable bench seat, and optional foot pegs for a moto-inspired feel. Available in multiple colors and two configurations, it's one of the most capable and versatile fat tire ebikes on the market.

What's the best ebike for beginners?

We recommend the Moonrider or the Photon for riders new to ebikes.

The Moonrider has a step-through frame (easy to mount and dismount), an intuitive mid-drive motor, and comes with front and rear racks so you can start using it for real errands right away. Its Shimano 10-speed lets you gradually learn how to blend pedal assist with gear selection.

The Photon is a great option if you want something lighter with a throttle option, so you can start by letting the bike do the work and increase your own pedaling input as you get comfortable. It ships 95% pre-assembled — front wheel, pedals, and handlebars and you're ready to ride. (And they glow in the dark!)

How long does shipping take?

All in-stock Superhuman bikes ship within 3–7 business days of order confirmation. You'll receive a tracking number via email once your order leaves our warehouse. For the most current availability on specific models, check the product page or contact our support team.

What's the longest range ebike in your lineup?

The Weapon leads the lineup with 70+ miles of range on its 840Wh battery — the highest-capacity battery we offer. The F5 Trail also carries an 840Wh battery and delivers 50+ miles per charge under typical conditions.

Real-world range depends on rider weight, terrain, wind, temperature, and how much you pedal vs. rely on the motor. Using lower assist levels and pedaling more actively will always extend your range.
