Question 8

Why is the average cost of your bikes higher than most bikes I see?

Answer

We believe every kid should own a high quality bike. Yes, this means our bikes are more expensive BUT these bikes are easier to ride, lighter, designed with children in mind, made with high-quality componets and most importantly bikes that can be passed down to siblings/friends or another child in need of a bike and NOT end up in our landfills.
