Something’s shakin’ on Shakedown Street… or at least at Retrospec headquarters! The brand recently announced the latest licensed collaboration with the Grateful Dead , celebrating the band’s 60th anniversary. The iconic band adopted the name ‘The Grateful Dead’ in 1965, and began a decades-long journey of popularizing the jam rock genre.
Retrospec’s limited-edition collection includes several models of ebikes, adult bikes, and kids’ bikes (plus five stand-up paddleboards) all adorned with the Grateful Dead’s signature graphics. The adult bikes encourage you to discover the wonders of nature with all styles covered. The collection includes an electric trike, a beach cruiser, a commuter, a gravel bike, a fixie, and a klunker. From casual listeners who know their big hits to dedicated tour-followers, The Grateful Dead wasn’t just your weird Uncle John’s Band. They struck a chord with many, including Ely Khakshouri, the CEO of Retrospec.
“The Grateful Dead has been the soundtrack to many of my dawn-til-dusk hikes and thousands of miles of road travel through some of my favorite places and experiences worldwide,” said Retrospec CEO Ely Khakshouri. “We’re thrilled to celebrate the Dead’s 60th anniversary with this collection of limited-edition gear, which resonates with the band’s deep connection with the outdoor community. The Grateful Dead inspires spontaneity, creativity, curiosity and fun-loving – virtues we live by daily thanks in great part to the music.” Retrospec x Grateful Dead Collection – ebikes:
