🐾 The Heart Behind Shopsy Dropsy 

Welcome to Shopsy Dropsy — the electric bike shop with big hearts, helping hands, zero pushy salespeople, and our Chief Entertainment Officer, Dropsy the blue schnauzer, who insists fun is part of the job.

I grew up on a Pennsylvania dairy farm with four sisters and two amazing parents, where I learned early the things that matter most: hard work, integrity, and showing up when someone needs a hand. Somewhere between barn chores and belly rubs, I also fell in love with animals — and that hasn’t changed one bit.

Life carried me from the Air Force to 20+ years in engineering, then into real estate — where I found that business done right isn’t just about deals, it’s about people. Clients trusted us, referred us, and came back, because we cared as much as we knew our stuff.

Seven and a half years ago, life took another turn when I moved back home to care for my then 89-year-old mom. She’s now 96, still living in her own home with my help, and this business has become the perfect way to support her while doing something I truly love.

That “something” is e-bikes. I’ve always been a rider, but once I discovered e-bikes, I was hooked — total game changer. A few years back, I even ran a cool and successful e-bike shop. When COVID and the supply chain chaos hit, I chose to close rather than lower the high standards we’d set. The passion never left, though, and now we’re back — with fresh energy, lessons learned, and an even bigger commitment to making e-biking fun and accessible for everyone. This time, it’s our ride for the long haul.

After years of riding, tinkering, and learning everything I could, I teamed up with a small (but mighty!) crew who share the same values — integrity, hard work, and heart — with plenty of laughter along the way.

So here we are: an e-bike shop built on farm-strong values, powered by experience, and sprinkled with Dropsy’s playful charm. Whether you’re mountain biking, commuting, cruising for fun, or just want to turn your day up a gear, we’ve got your back (and your bike).

We kicked things off with a few affordable e-bike brands we really like — great quality, great ride, serious fun — so you can ride, camp, and play outdoors your way without the sticker shock. More bikes and gear are rolling in soon, so check back often!

So go ahead — shop till you drop...then zoom off in style!

pssst...and don’t worry — we left the early-morning barn chores behind. All that’s required here is a good sense of fun and adventure.
