About
In the quest to ensure that persons with special needs have a safe, stable and stylish recreational cycling experience, a Jordanian social enterprise, Jo Theeb, had the drive to strike a new niche by offering customizing bikes; with an adaptive form of mobility that was previously unavailable. Jo Theeb’s concept goes back to 2010 when Khaled Al-Omar, a 45 -year-old father of three and the entrepreneurial mastermind behind Jo Theeb, when he was diagnosed with palsy in his left leg, which is the reason why a standard bike would not work for him.
It took him eight months to create the first model. He started adjusting and upgrading the model using motors and lithium batteries. Three months later, the first fully functioning customized e-bike traveled a 40 kilometers journey. He named it “Theeb”. Omar made the decision to commercialize his model for as little money as possible. Then he began creating a line of models with a variety of positioning and gear options, each tailored to the precise requirements of the individual orders he was receiving.
