Rider Story: Todd Henning’s Journey with VTUVIA E-Bikes

At VTUVIA, we love hearing the stories of our riders—and Todd Henning, from Rock Cut E-Bikes in Roscoe, Illinois, has an inspiring journey to share. Though Todd is a passionate advocate for e-biking and runs a local shop, his story goes beyond business—it's about his own experience with VTUVIA e-bikes and the transformation they've brought to his life.

Todd’s favorite part of the week is the Ride & Glide event he hosts every Saturday when the weather is warm. These rides are more than just a group activity—they represent the joy and freedom Todd has discovered on his VTUVIA SF20h. He loves nothing more than hitting the scenic trails around his hometown, including his personal favorite, the Stonebridge Trail. Riding under a beautiful canopy of trees, Todd and his friends enjoy the outdoors, taking time to connect and relax as they ride. Whether it’s a leisurely ride to Rolland Olsen Forest Preserve or a longer adventure, the experience is always fulfilling.

For Todd, the VTUVIA SF20H has been a game-changer. As a 60-year-old weighing 230 lbs, he was initially concerned about whether an e-bike could handle his size and strength. But once he got on his SF20H, he was amazed by its performance. From city streets to rugged trails, the bike has been able to keep up with him every step of the way. One memorable adventure even saw Todd and his brother Scotty discovering a thrilling (though slightly daunting) trail at a local state park. Despite getting caught on a more advanced path, Todd’s confidence in his Vtuvia e-bike kept him going and made the experience exciting rather than intimidating.

This newfound freedom has had a profound impact on Todd’s health. Since he started riding, he’s not only lost weight but also gained incredible strength and mobility. His leg muscles are stronger than ever, and he’s racked up nearly 1500 miles in the past year alone—something he never thought possible. Riding has brought back the joy and energy of his youth, reminding him of the excitement and fun that cycling can bring at any age.

Todd often shares his rides on Facebook, posting updates on his mileage and photos of his journeys. His followers can use these posts as great references for local cycling routes, discovering new paths and areas to explore. Whether he’s hitting local trails or enjoying a leisurely ride through nearby parks, Todd’s experiences offer valuable insights into the best places to ride, making his social media a fantastic resource for fellow cyclists.

Todd’s passion for e-biking doesn’t stop at just riding—he also shares his knowledge and experiences with the local community. In an interview with Driftless Area Magazine, Todd explained how e-bikes have transformed his life and why he believes they are the perfect solution for anyone seeking a fun, active lifestyle. His enthusiasm for the sport and dedication to promoting healthy, outdoor living shines through in everything he does.

Todd believes in the importance of comfort when choosing an e-bike, and he emphasizes how crucial it is to find the right fit. He encourages everyone to think about their personal preferences—what type of trails you enjoy, how long you plan to ride, and even small details like the comfort of your seat or grips. Taking care of your bike, like cleaning the chain and keeping the battery maintained, is also key to ensuring a smooth, enjoyable ride.

While Todd is a business owner, his experience with the VTUVIA SF20H goes far beyond selling bikes—it’s about the joy of riding, exploring new places, and staying active. His story is a testament to the fact that e-bikes, like those from Vtuvia, aren’t just for the young—they’re for anyone who wants to live a more adventurous, healthier lifestyle.

Through Todd's story, we are deeply reminded of the passion for life. This passion is not just reflected in his cycling but in every aspect of his life. Todd approaches everything with dedication and enthusiasm, whether it’s cycling or any other passion. It reminds us that in whatever we do, we should put our heart into it, pursuing the things that bring us joy, making life full of meaning and energy.
