It's been an exciting journey for our bike company since first appearing on Shark Tank in 2017 and landing a deal with Mark Cuban.

When we first appeared on the show, we were a small startup with an innovative braking system to eliminate head-over-handlebar biking accidents. Our dream was to provide a safer biking experience to kids around the world. During our Shark Tank pitch, we faced tough questions but we were able to demonstrate the potential of our product and the strength of our business. In the end, Mark Cuban saw our value and made us an offer.

In July of 2022, we opened our first US factory in Seymour, Indiana. This factory is the first step in a journey to bring bike production back to the USA. It has allowed us to increase our production capacity and provide economic growth to the Seymour community. Today, our factory is a hub of activity, with a dedicated and growing team working tirelessly to produce the best kids bikes on the market.
