What will you get About the host
I'm Steve Ceman - an electric bike business fanatic,
looking forward to the near future of mass
customized, super personalized, 3D printed,
extra-smart ebikes, AI-driven sales processes, and
outstanding customer services.
I am a formal pro mountain bike racer, engineer,
ebike business owner. I created a business model
(Fit2Print System), based on which was made the
world's ﬁrst 3D printed enduro e-bike. I also train
small businesses on how to sell, service, and rent
more electric bikes.
My mission is to help create a better ebike future -
both for riders and businesses.
New technology is shaping the future already. We
have to take this advantage and create great
things. The right time is now. Let's do it!
If you are ready to put in the work, I'm here to show

things for each session:
● First, take notes. Write down "aha" thoughts, ideas, and discoveries (even if
you think you'll remember them, you won't!).
● Second, after each session, commit to making ONE IMMEDIATE ACTION.
And don't forget to share your results with the speakers and me!

When you think about ebike business, what’s your biggest sticking point or
challenge?
● How to innovate your technology

There really is something for everyone, no matter what level you are at. So set your
