KALAMAZOO, MI -- Jeb Gast and crew at Fido Motors have created a unique marriage of electric scooters and coffee.

Fido Motors Cafe runs out of the same building as their workshop, so patrons can get a look at what goes into making a Fido scooter while enjoying a cup of coffee. The building is one of three owned by Fido, located at 1415 Fulford St. in Kalamazoo.

The $90,000 lot of buildings, known as Jericho Town, is home to not only Fido but several other businesses including an auto-mechanic, a moped club, a welder, an electrician and Kal-Tone Musical Instrument Co.

Gast and his wife, Krystal, acquired Jericho Town with the help of Kent Bakke, CEO of La Marzocco espresso machines in the U.S. Prior to Kalamazoo, the Gast's lived in Seattle, working in a scooter shop that Bakke frequented.

Upon deciding to make the move, Bakke gave a helping hand and partnered with the couple to help fund and set up shop in Kalamazoo. That's how Fido came into possession of a La Marzocco espresso machine that up until recently, was being used solely by employees.

"It actually works really well," said Krystal Gast of the scooter and coffee combo.

Fido Motors is currently working on 25 limited-edition electric scooters being sold at $10,000 a piece. The scooters come equipped with an accessory glove-box and will be the first 25 scooters sold by Fido. The scooters are available for pre-sale on the Fido website.

While Fido has been in Kalamazoo for about two years, the coffee shop came as a later addition and officially opened on Oct. 19. The cafe took about six months to build and includes the addition of windows to see inside their warehouse.

Mack Chrisman is the cafe manager and mastermind behind all their caffeine creations.

Beyond coffee, the cafe offers sandwiches, pastries, soft drinks, teas and more. "The idea is that this is going to be a family-friendly atmosphere that people can come into and really just have a fun experience," said Chrisman.

The cafe is open from 6:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekdays, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday and is closed on Sunday.
