“Fairwell, James.James was the CEO at Onyx, the eBike that won my heart and many awards. I ride it all the time, and thought of him on my way home from work today, on my Onyx.“James was a patented inventor, prototype developer, software engineer, creative technologist with time served in rapid prototyping, skunk-working, building, making, and inventing. He was a full stack developer, mobile, websystems, RTC, streaming, robotics, controllers, machine, learning, so many things I will never really understand at the level he did.“He was 14 years younger than me and a whole lot smarter about things I didn’t understand. And he talked a lot about the EV world. I had worked at Tesla when it was a private, 100ish person company, and later was the CEO of eMotive. The pressures of leading a young EV company can be extreme, and we empathized about that. I wanted to help him and Onyx and I am sad we didn’t get to work together.“I hope his family and his company heal the best they can in the time of shock and loss. James was my friend, a fellow goofy moped enthusiast. I will miss him and know the world is slightly darker tonight without him in it.RIP James Khatiblou.”
In his professional endeavors, James showcased his talents as a Graphic/Web Designer, evolving into roles as a Teaching Assistant and Laboratory Manager. His career trajectory featured stints at companies like 10th Degree, RockLive (now Shots Mobile, Inc.), LG Electronics Silicon Valley Labs, Meta Co., and Amazon Web Services, where he demonstrated his diverse skills in web development, design, and engineering.
Notably, James Khatiblou’s entrepreneurial spirit shone through as he assumed the mantle of CEO at ONYX Motorbikes, leaving an indelible mark on the eBike industry.
An obituary honoring James Khatiblou’s life and achievements will be released by his family in due course.
