Services
Recumbent Bikes
Recumbent bikes offer a relaxed riding position that reduces joint strain and enhances aerodynamics for faster, more comfortable rides. We carry two-wheeled and trike models from top brands like Bacchetta, HASE, and HP Velotechnik. Ideal for long-distance touring, commuting, or casual riding, these bikes prioritize ergonomics without sacrificing performance.
Folding Bikes
Folding bikes combine compact design with versatility, making them perfect for urban commutes, travel, and multi-modal adventures. We stock Brompton, Dahon, and Tern models that fit in cars, subways, and RVs. Their lightweight frames and seamless folds ensure easy transport without compromising ride quality or durability.
Adaptive Bikes
Adaptive bikes provide accessible cycling solutions for riders with disabilities. We offer specialized trikes, hand cycles, and modified frames from BerkelBike, Greenspeed, and HASE. Our expertise ensures tailored fits for varying abilities, promoting independence and enjoyment through customized setups and adaptive accessories.
E-Bike Service
Our certified technicians repair Bosch, Shimano STEPS, and Brompton Electric systems. We handle diagnostics, battery replacements, and motor maintenance for e-bikes and e-trikes. This service ensures optimal performance and longevity for commuters and recreational riders relying on electric assist technology.
Vintage Restoration
We restore vintage bikes to functional, near-showroom condition. Services include chrome polishing, paint touch-ups, and mechanical overhauls. While we avoid repainting or frame reconstruction, we preserve historical integrity while modernizing components for reliable, everyday use or display purposes.
