"Braking" barriers and setting new standards, we're thrilled to share our journey of completing the first of three phases in our mission towards being 100% Made in the USA. This monumental achievement signifies a pivotal moment not only for Guardian Bikes, but for the kid’s biking industry as a whole. Let's dive into the exciting developments that Phase 1 brings and what it means for the future of Guardian Bikes.

Back to Basics: Component-Level Precision

At Guardian Bikes, we've always prioritized quality, durability, and safety. With Phase 1, we've taken our commitment to excellence to a whole new level. Every aspect of bike assembly, from the tiniest spokes to the durable frames, is meticulously crafted and inspected by our team at our Indiana facility. By bringing everything down to the component level, we ensure that each bike meets our standards of craftsmanship and safety. 

From wheel building to frame assembly, our skilled technicians oversee every step with precision and care. Wheels are laced and trued to perfection, while frames are aligned and tested to ensure optimal performance. By controlling every aspect of production, we guarantee that each Guardian Bike that rolls off our assembly line is of the highest quality.

Empowering Parents, Protecting the Planet

One of the key benefits of our approach is its environmental sustainability. By manufacturing our bikes locally, we significantly reduce carbon emissions associated with overseas shipping. We also  significantly reduce our use of unsustainable plastic and foam during shipping with more recyclable cardboard. This move towards a more sustainable supply chain not only benefits the planet but also aligns with our commitment to being responsible “Guardians” of the environment for future generations. 

Our streamlined assembly process also means less hassle for parents. With only the handlebars and pedals left for assembly at home, getting your child's new bike ready for the road is a breeze. It's all part of our mission to provide an exceptional customer experience from start to finish.

Looking Ahead: Phase 2 and Beyond 

As we celebrate the significant achievement of Phase 1, our journey continues to unfold. Phase 2 will elevate our standards even further as we bring powder coating for our frames to the USA. With meticulous quality control, expanded customization options, and expedited turnaround times, our bikes will offer unparalleled value to our customers, exceeding expectations at every turn.

Our last and final phase will be Phase 3. Here you will see us taking our manufacturing capabilities to the next level with the building of frames right here in the USA. By expanding our production capabilities, we're setting the stage for even greater innovation and customization in the future.

As we celebrate the completion of Phase 1, we invite you to join us on this thrilling journey. Whether you're a parent looking for the safest, most durable bike designed specifically for kids or a cycling enthusiast excited about the future of the industry, Guardian Bikes is leading the way.
