e.thirteen is proud to welcome product development engineer,
Kristopher Wehage, to the team. Kris brings three and a half years of
high end bicycle component design and engineering experience and a
passion for bicycle riding and industrial design.
Having proven his design and engineering merits at FSA, Kris will work
with e.thirteen founder and technical director Dave Weagle to develop a
new line of cycling products. Dave had this to say about e.thirteen's
newest team member, "I've admired Kris's ability to pick apart complex
problems and visualize innovative solutions since we first met. Being
that e.thirteen is such a tiny company, it's so important that we all
work well together, and his laid back personality and ninja-like design
skills, mixed with the fact that he rides his bike a load of miles each
week make him a perfect fit for our team. We're really excited to have
him on board!"
Kris's responsibilities at e.thirteen will include developing new
technologies and products as e.thirteen prepares for a new era of the
company's development. Kris will be working closely with e.thirteen's
athletes and existing staff to refine current products and design new
products outside of e.thirteen's existing product range.
"I've known the team at e.thirteen for a few years now and have a
lot of respect for what they have accomplished. We've got a great team
and I'm looking forward to stepping it up in the coming years," says
Kris.
The rest of the e.thirteen team is excited to have Kris on board. He's
already spent time at the east coast office getting up to speed and
will be working full time from a remote office on the west coast.
Kris

Otter Classic and other various events throughout the year.
