Charge Bikes via YouTube
Chantel Hyde hadn’t ridden a bike since she was 15, and, due to medical issues, she wasn’t sure she’d ever ride one again.
You see, at age 12, she dislocated both knees. That led to a slew of progressive injuries, ultimately resulting in a recent full reconstructive surgery of both knees. Months of physical therapy has followed to help rebuild Chantel’s muscles in her legs, and doctors recommended cycling to help with the process.
When her husband saw the Charge More Power to You contest earlier this year, he thought Chantel would be a perfect candidate to receive a free electric bike to help her continue healing. We agreed, as this is just the type of uphill journey we like to make a bit easier for people. Now, Chantel has been reunited with an activity she loved as a child and is rebuilding her leg strength one ride at a time on her new Charge e-bike.
