electric!

E-bikes see surge in popularity among Moab’s locals and visitors Written by Rachel Fixsen | Photos by Murice D. Miller

ICYCLES ARE GOING ELECTRIC. CYCLISTS HAVE ENJOYED MOAB’S SCENIC VIEWS AND EXCITING TERRAIN FROM THE SADDLES OF ROAD BIKES AND MOUNTAIN BIKES FOR DECADES. THE LATEST ITERATION OF TWO-

WHEELED, PEDAL-POWERED TRAVEL IS GAINING MOMENTUM IN THE AREA.

“Most people have experience with a bike,” says Ron Thomas, who, along with his wife Annie, runs a dealership for Pedego brand electric bikes in Moab. “It’s not that much different, except it’s way more fun!” Electric bikes, or e-bikes, have existed for a long time. Thomas says he first rode one about 25 years ago in Zion National Park. It had a lead-acid battery similar to a car battery, that could hold a charge for about 20 minutes, he says. Since then, e-bike designs have improved. More companies are producing them, and more people are interested in trying them. Many local traditional bike shops have

MOAB AREA REAL ESTATE MAGAZINE February–March 2022

e-bikes for rent or sale. Moab now has two dedicated e-bike shops. In addition to the Thomases’s Pedego retail location, which opened in August of 2021, there’s Mick Vallantine’s E-bike Moab, which opened in the spring of 2020. Vallantine says he first rode an e-bike when he was living in England. He was riding a traditional motorcycle when someone offered to let him try an e-bike. “I rode it for less than five minutes and returned the bike to the owner who asked, ‘Didn’t you like it?’ I replied, ‘Yes, I did, and I’m going to go get one!” E-bikes come in a variety of styles, from models made for casual street cruising

to high-performance mountain e-bikes. They also come with different capabilities that have been categorized into three classes. “Class 1” e-bikes only offer motor assistance when the rider is pedaling, and that assistance caps out at 20 miles per hour. Class 2 and 3 e-bikes can provide some power without pedaling. Moab City, Grand County, and the Bureau of Land Management recently approved regulations allowing Class 1 e-bikes on the paved multi-use paths that traverse the city along the Mill Creek Parkway and lead to Arches National Park, the River Road, and Highway 313. They’re not allowed on trails designated for non-mo-

torized use, but that still leaves miles of dirt roads and singletrack open to electric pedalers: Jeep and ATV roads, the famous Slickrock Trail in Sand Flats Recreation Area, bike trails in Dead Horse Point State Park and the motorized Sovereign Trails system. E-bikes vary in how far they can go on one charge. Their capabilities are also subject to factors like the rider’s weight, winds, terrain and how hard the rider pedals. Thomas said he recently visited Arches National Park on an e-bike via the Willow Springs Road. The trip was approximately 30 miles and took about 2 hours and was done on a single charge. He said the batteries can sometimes last for 60 or 70 miles. The motor-assist allows bikers to ride for more time and distance, with less fatigue, than they would otherwise be capable of, while offering a smooth, quiet ride. “The e-bike experience is wonderful. It puts the fun back into bicycling for people such as myself with injuries,” says Vallantine. He was a motorcycle dealer and mechanic in Seattle before he bought property in Moab

“THE E-BIKE EXPERIENCE ... PUTS THE FUN BACK INTO BICYCLING FOR PEOPLE SUCH AS MYSELF WITH INJURIES" Mick Vallantine

10 years ago to enjoy dirt-biking in the area. After injuring his elbow and undergoing three surgeries, he had to give up the rough sport of dirt-biking. He says e-bikes have been a satisfying alternative. Vallantine and Thomas both say they’ve enjoyed seeing older riders, or people who are not as fit as they’d like to be, re-discover cycling, with e-bikes. “That’s the cool thing—you can go and do Slickrock and you don’t have to be training for months,” says Vallantine’s son Jesse Vallantine, who manages restaurants in Moab and sometimes helps out at E-bike Moab. “You still have to pedal, of course, but it sure makes it a hell of a lot easier!”

“You just notice a lot more, even in areas where you’ve driven a lot—it’s a little quieter and you’re going slower.” The proliferation of e-bikes is not without some controversy among trail-users and land managers. Many traditional cyclists don’t want to see e-bikes allowed on non-motorized trails, worrying about trail damage and conflicts between riders at different speeds. Some e-bike enthusiasts want to see them allowed in more areas. However, the groups aren’t exclusive: some people enjoy both human-powered-only and electric bikes. Reid Bakken is the e-bike representative on the Grand County Motorized Trails Advisory Committee. He began as a mountain biker in his hometown of Denver. When he moved to Moab, he started spending more time dirt-biking. “It’s amazing,” he says. “You can go to so many more places that are not designated mountain biking trails, and it opens up places that would kind of suck on a mountain bike.”

MOAB AREA REAL ESTATE MAGAZINE February–March 2022

Bakken has owned electric motorcycles and got his first e-bike about a year and a half ago. He says he was eager to support companies that are advancing e-bike technology. He appreciates that electric vehicles are quieter and lower-maintenance than gas-powered motorcycles and dirt bikes. In comparing e-bikes to “analog” bikes, as e-bike enthusiasts sometimes call them, Bakken says, “To me, it’s mostly the same experience, except I’m more likely to go every day because it’s an e-bike.” As a mountain bike guide and handyman, Bakken says he isn’t in need of more exercise, but enjoys riding for the fun of it, even when he’s tired. Bakken believes that, as technology continues to evolve, it will become more difficult to define and classify all the devices and models available. He hopes in the future to see trails designated as “human or electric powered” rather than “non-motorized,” allowing e-bikes to share the trails with hikers and analog cyclists, while excluding gas-powered motorcycles. The motorized trails committee has discussed the possibility of building new singletrack trails specifically for e-bikes. Analog bikes would be welcome as well, but the flow and distance of the new trails would be designed with e-bikes in mind. Thomas says he expects that e-bikes will continue to be popular. “I think they’re here to stay,” he says. He’s hoping to have a busy summer selling and renting e-bikes and developing selfguided tour routes that riders can access through a Pedego app. Pedego’s rental bikes are Class 2, but Thomas says they’re dealer-modified so that their throttles are disabled and they function as Class 1 bikes. Vallantine agrees. “I believe in the U.S., especially the mountain bike world, e-bikes will grow massively, as seen in Europe,” Vallantine says. “The tech on the bikes is always changing and the prices are getting a little more affordable.” The cost of a new e-bike is usually at least $1,000, and can be $10,000 or more. In spite of the cost, e-bikes are highly popular in Europe for both commuting and recreation, according to trade journals. Thomas says one of his favorite parts of the job is witnessing his customers with “ear to ear grins” as they try out the bikes. “You have people that haven’t ridden a bike for 30 years turning into a kid again.” n

READY AT A MOMENT’S NOTICE Grand County EMS moves into a new facility and prepares for another busy year Written by Rachel Fixsen | Photos by Murice D. Miller

“I

t really runs the gamut; you have to be prepared for a lot of potential scenarios,” said Emergency Medical Technician Katie Grauel, talking about what a “typical” shift might look like with Grand County Emergency Medical Services. Crews might respond to a cardiac arrest in someone’s home, an injury in the backcountry, or the urgent need to transport a patient to

more advanced care at a hospital in Salt Lake City. All of those calls might happen in just one 12-hour shift—or, they might not get any calls at all, and spend the shift training and maintaining gear and equipment. Call volumes in the GCEMS response area have been increasing in recent years, so those training and maintenance days are less common. GCEMS aims to keep pace with the rise in need: the team recently moved into a brand new facility, and they stay up-to-date with training methods. They’re also implementing a new “Mobile Integrated Health” program to help cover gaps in community health care. State legislators last year and this year are working on bills to help support and fund EMS services, particularly in rural areas like Grand County.

THE NEW BUILDING

“We’re happy to be in the facility—it will be a game-changer for the staff,” says EMS Director Andy Smith. GCEMS has been working towards finding a consolidated, adequate space for its operations for more than ten years. In 2018, the special service district (which had been a county department until that year) applied for funding from the state Community Impact Board, a body that distributes grants and loans to governmental entities in areas that host mineral leases on federal land. They received $1 million in grant money and $3.5 million as a zero-interest, 30-year loan to go toward constructing a new facility. The district also contributed $120,000 of its own money to the project. Construction began early in 2021, and the building was nearly complete by the fall. Staff have now moved their operations to the new location. The new building occupies an elevated position on the east side of town, with a view over the Moab valley. There’s a spacious equipment bay where the district can keep all of their ambulances. Due to supply-chain issues, the final piece of the building—the garage doors—aren’t installed yet, but the resourceful agency has improvised their own temporary doors so they can use the new bay. The facility also has indoor rooms for training, presentations and conferences, with large doors that open onto a patio space so sessions can easily transition between indoors and outdoors. Offices for administrative staff, a workout space, laundry machines and crew quarters for ambulance staff serving multiday shifts are all housed under one roof. The crew quarters, in particular, are a significant upgrade from the previous accommodation says Smith. Full-time EMTs typically work 48-hour shifts with 96 hours off in between. During those on-call shifts, they live and sleep at the EMS station so they’re ready to respond quickly when there’s an emergency. Before the new facility opened, crews were living in what they called “the white house”—a decades-old ranch residential-style house owned by the county, in need of repair, and too small for staff to have their own rooms. Two or three people would sometimes share a bedroom, and a staff of seven shared a kitchen. Now, each person on shift has their own small bedroom with a window. A black-out shade allows staff to sleep well during daylight

hours, and each room has its own temperature control. Promoting adequate rest for staff on an unpredictable and sometimes grueling schedule is a key upgrade of the new facility. “It’s the first time for a decade we’re all together,” Smith says. “Staff are really enjoying the place.” Grauel, who works part-time and usually serves either 12 or 24-hour shifts, recently spent her first night in the new building while on shift. “It was super nice to be able to go upstairs and crash in a bed after [responding to calls],” she says.

A DAY IN THE LIFE Grauel says the first thing staff do when starting a shift at 7 a.m. is go over the rigs and make sure they’re in good shape and fully stocked with necessary supplies. They make sure each crew member has the appropriate personal protective equipment, which currently includes an N95 mask to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Staff also make sure they have items like snacks layers, and hiking gear, in case there’s an incident in the backcountry, at high elevations, or that takes many hours, sometimes into the night. Once they’re as prepared as they can be, the crew meets to go over any chores or tasks that need to be done. For example, Grauel and a crewmate recently finished setting up the free weights and exercise equipment in the new workout area. Some staff members oversee specific duties like ordering supplies and equipment, or keeping track of training hours. The crew tries to do an hour of physical training each day—previously at the Moab Recreation and Aquatic Center, but they’ll now be able to work out at the station. They also try to complete at least an hour of professional training each day. Staff might suggest a topic or skill they’d like to brush up on. The district recently acquired a new device that simulates the type of monitor EMTs use to track a patient’s vital signs during a real incident. The person conducting the training can program the simulator to immerse trainees in a range of possible situations.

“It shows all the information you get from a monitor on a typical call, and it makes the scenario feel a lot more real,” Grauel says. “You don’t have to ask (anyone) for vitals, you just look at the monitor. It helps you practice your skills in real time.” “That’s kind of the stuff we’re doing if we’re not actively on calls,” Grauel says. “If we get a ton of calls, then all that stuff gets interrupted and you don’t do any of it, or you do half of it and the rest rolls over to the next day.” Grauel remembers a recent shift when, at 7 a.m., she reported to a 24-hour shift that was halfway through the full-time staff’s 48-hour shift. “When I got to the station, no one was up, which is unusual. So I looked at the call list and they had had seven calls after 4 p.m. [the day before],” Grauel says. One of the calls was at 1:30 in the morning—the crew was active for much of the night, and were catching up on sleep. Even if there aren’t a lot of calls, sometimes even one can take most of a day. Grauel said a recent transport of a patient to Salt Lake City took 13-hours round-trip. “You just don’t know what to expect from your day,” Grauel says. “There’s a possibility that you might get to sleep through the night, or there’s the possibility that you don’t get to sleep at all. There’s a lot of unknowns.” Grauel says that cycle can be exhausting, but it can also be exciting. MOBILE INTEGRATED HEALTH In a presentation to the Grand County Commission this summer, Smith said the district’s call volume has increased 132% over the last 20 years. “That’s quite a number,” Smith remarked at the time. In 2020, the district broke five monthly records for number of calls. The district responded to roughly 1800 calls in 2021. “We’ve gotten a lot busier,” Grauel says. She’s worked for the district for about four years. In response to that growing need, in 2016, the department shifted from being staffed by volunteers to employing full-time, paid EMTs. Currently there are 17 full-time responders, and 47 staff total. Another approach the district is taking to respond to the growing need for emergency care is a new program called Mobile Integrated Health, or MIH. Smith explains that responders noticed that some individuals called EMS regularly, often for Right: First responders at a rescue near Moab. [Courtesy Grand County EMS]

MOAB AREA REAL ESTATE MAGAZINE February–March 2022

a repeat issue, such as elderly residents falling inside their homes. Sometimes people don’t have access to regular health care—whether they lack insurance, don’t have the mobility to get to a provider, or they don’t think they need medical attention. “EMS becomes the safety net” for those people, Smith says. They may call EMS multiple times a week, or even multiple times a day. Will Barnhardt, a former GCEMS crew member who has since relocated, initiated the idea of the MIH program, through which crewmembers responding to those repeat callers could make a note in their incident reports that the individual may be a good candidate for follow-up care. EMS would then contact the person and ask if they want to participate, and a trained paramedic would visit and assess their home. The hope is that these visits can help prevent future 911 calls and trips to the emergency room. Smith says that, with participants so far, EMS staff have installed handrails and non-slip rug underlayments to prevent falls, and they can help patients while they adjust to new medications or ensure they’re taking their prescriptions correctly. The district has partnered with Moab Regional Hospital’s Dr. Whitney Mack to begin the MIH program. The district is working with state legislators to clarify language in the code to make sure EMS is covered to provide care that’s not strictly an emergency, so the program isn’t completely operational yet. Smith says the department is also hoping to secure federal funding to support a full-time position to oversee the MIH program. “I’m very excited about its potential as a program,” Dr. Mack says. “Ultimately I think it will be an opportunity for skilled people to help [patients] when they’re at their most vulnerable.” She says MIH provides her an avenue to visit patients in their homes, which can be valuable in her assessment and advice. “It’s nice for me to be able to see people in their own environment,” she says. “It doesn’t matter to me if someone’s house is orderly or not orderly—I just want to see how they’re living, how they’re getting their food, what their space is like.” Not only does that give her greater insight into the person’s health, she says, it’s also humanizing. She adds that taking preventative steps to help people can be very positive for EMS staff as well—a welcome change from damage control of emergencies that may have been preventable.

Mack says that she can visit patients at home outside the MIH program, but that EMS staff are uniquely positioned to identify the people who need that attention the most. “They’re already mobile; they have the skills to interview and assess patients,” Mack says. She and Smith have high hopes for the program. Smith noted that GCEMS is part of another community initiative spearheaded by the Moab Free Health Clinic called Unite Us. It’s a database through which service providers and community members in need of care can find one another.

“I think that’s one of the issues in our community—I don’t think we’re all plugged in,” Smith says. “My staff might go to a home and see a need, maybe there’s food security issues—but we don’t know who’s addressing that.” The Unite Us network can help make those connections between services and the people who need them. Smith says he plans to hold a community event to mark the opening of the new building and invite the public to tour the space, but he’s waiting for COVID-19 activity to calm before scheduling the event, likely in the spring. In the meantime, staff will stay prepared for the unexpected. n

BYRD & CO. ACQUIRED BY SUMMIT SOTHEBY’S; BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY NAMES NIKOLE ANDERSEN AS BRANCH BROKER Byrd & Co. agents to remain onboard at Sotheby’s; Berkshire’s Andersen praised as “problem-solver” Written by Sharon Sullivan

HERE ARE NOTABLE CHANGES IN THE MOAB REAL ESTATE WORLD — SUMMIT SOTHEBY’S INTERNATIONAL REALTY HAS ACQUIRED BYRD & COMPANY REAL ESTATE; AND,

BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY HOMESERVICES UTAH PROPERTIES HAS PROMOTED NIKOLE ANDERSEN TO BRANCH BROKER AT ITS MOAB OFFICE.

Curtis & Becky Byrd Summit Sotheby's International

MOAB AREA REAL ESTATE MAGAZINE February–March 2022

Summit Sotheby’s acquired Becky and Curtis Wells’ Byrd & Company in early January, adding Moab to its 14 offices across Utah, as well as branches in Idaho, California, Colorado and Nevada. “Curtis and I welcomed our third little girl to the world and it seemed like a great time to step away from managing the business,” Becky Wells said. “I'm excited to have the broker duties off my plate so I can focus more on my clients, have more time for my family and play more golf!” While noting Moab’s growth, and being open to partnership opportunities, Summit Sotheby’s sought out Byrd & Company because of the companies’ shared philosophy, says Tiffany Fox, chief marketing officer for Summit Sotheby’s International Realty. “Summit Sotheby’s is about providing communities with fantastic, luxury real estate experience,” she says. That experience includes high-quality architectural photography and marketing, and transparency that keeps sellers informed about what’s happening with their properties, she said. “It means every moment of a real estate transaction being a positive, professional experience,” Fox said. Becky Wells said she was impressed with Summit Sotheby’s “amazing” brand.

Lindsay Tripp

Summit Sotheby's International

“Summit Sotheby’s specifically has an enormous staff of professional photographers, videographers, marketing and media designers, transaction managers and more,” she said. “Our sellers will really benefit from their marketing and online reach with over 10,000 websites they syndicate to. We are so thrilled to be a part of their organization.”

Wells’ new title is Global Sales Advisor. She’ll continue to lead the Moab office with the same team of real estate agents. “It’s the best of our brand, (combined) with their local knowledge,” Fox said. “Becky has a brilliant vision and by joining forces we help continue that vision. She has done a remarkable job in Moab. We can provide resources, and support to continue that vision.” Both Curtis and Becky Wells will continue to work as associate brokers for the company. Byrd’s eight agents have all become part of the Summit Sotheby’s team. “Byrd has a lot of experience; we want to bring in our luxury brand and service and take them to the next level,” said managing broker of the Moab office Lindsay Tripp, who also manages an office in St. George. “We believe that luxury is not a price point, but an experience.” she said. “We sell everything from land to luxury homes and everything in-between.” Thomas Wright, President of Summit Sotheby’s International Realty, said the company is excited to bring its brand to Moab. “From the awe-inspiring red rocks to the canyons surrounding the Colorado River, Moab is a place of pristine natural beauty and adrenaline-pumping adventure,” he said. “Having the opportunity to work with clients in this special corner of Utah is a privilege and responsibility – one that we do not take lightly. All of us at Summit Sotheby’s International Realty look forward to being a vital partner of the Moab community, its visitors and residents for years to come.”

BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY PROMOTES NIKOLE ANDERSEN

ongtime Moab Realtor Rachel Moody merged her Real Estate Company of Moab with Berkshire Hathaway, and retired as its Principal Broker in March 2020. She made the move so she could concentrate on selling properties without all the responsibilities of running a business. As an associate broker with Berkshire Hathaway, Moody continues to sell real estate while also providing guidance and training for her team. Merging her company with Berkshire Hathaway was a good move, she said. “Since I joined forces with Berkshire Hathaway in 2020, I’ve had the best experience I’ve had in real estate,” Moody said. “I couldn’t be happier with them. They’re a great family; a great network. They are so professional, family oriented, and community oriented.” It was good timing for Andersen, who was working for Berkshire Hathaway in the Salt Lake City area and had told her Broker that she was interested in working in Moab full-time. Andersen moved to Moab after the merger to manage the Berkshire Hathaway office. In January of this year, Andersen was promoted to Branch Broker in Moab, where, in addition to selling real estate herself, she will provide guidance and oversight to the office team of real estate agents. Andersen has more than 20 years of experience selling properties, including in Weber, Washington, Tooele and Grand counties. She holds an Accredited Buyer’s Representative designation and is also an Associate Broker at Berkshire Hathaway.

Nikole Andersen

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Utah Properties

Andersen has experience with short sales, new construction, and homebuying and selling throughout Utah. Biographical information about her on Berkshire Hathaway's website says she is a problem-solver who won’t quit until her clients have the right house to call home. Her communication skills and honesty have earned her repeat customers over the years. “When Nikole came on board two years ago her experience was on the Wasatch Front. She had a lot to learn about our local market,” Moody said. “Now she can take her career to the next level.” Moody said Andersen will help ensure the business runs smoothly and is up to speed on compliance and real estate law. “I’m very fortunate to work with and be supported by Berkshire Hathaway and its team of professionals,” Andersen said. “Selling real estate has been my passion for over 20 years. I can’t think of a better place to live, work, and play while serving our local community here in Moab. I am very excited for this opportunity and next step in my real estate career.” Helping people realize their real estate goals, and find that perfect home is rewarding for Andersen. “I love working with people; I like looking at houses,” Andersen said. “You definitely need to be a people person with this business. You meet people of all types.” Andersen replaces Kevin Larsen, who became Branch Broker after Moody retired from that position to concentrate full-time on sales. Larsen will continue to provide leadership from the company’s Park City office. n MOAB AREA REAL ESTATE MAGAZINE February–March 2022
