Growth Gets Harder, But You Get Better

Philip Bliss |

Today, we meet Ben Taylor, the founder behind the marketing and business growth of the Beachman. It’s a great Canadian entrepreneur story. Ben is the Co-Founder of Beachman e-bikes. In 2019, Beachman’s two founders Ben Taylor and Steve Payne had a chance encounter at a coffee shop. Ben is the creator of the Beachman name with the dream to build a wildly new electric cafe racer, and Steve, the cafe racer builder who could bring that dream to life. Ben comes from an entrepreneurial family, with parents that were co-founders of the now famous SteamWhistle Brewery. In the fall of 2020 Steve completed work on the first prototype, a modified 1979 Kawasaki KZ200, which they refer to as “Zero”. With a battery system hand-built by Steve, a modern electric drivetrain, and authentic café racer styling, the pair knew they had something special, so let’s find out more.
