Robert Holler
Product and Customer Experience Manager 2014-Present
Like Jim, Robert Holler’s first recumbent was a Cruzbike Conversion Kit. It was one of the first ones made. Since then, he has ridden nearly every style of two-wheeled recumbent and worked in the recumbent industry. Ultimately he returned to Cruzbike as his bike of choice (he now rides a V and a Q) as the best on the market. Cruzbike officially welcomed Robert to the team in 2014. His role as product manager leverages his extensive mechanical knowledge, love for and knowledge of Cruzbike and passion for delivering an exceptional customer experience.
