"Do you fix scooter flats?" Is a question we get asked daily ... yes, we fix scooter flats.

Some of you may have noticed that repairing your e-scooter's flat can be a pain in the ball bearings. Let us fix it for you. We are stocked on hard to find inner tubes* at the moment so jump on it! (*for many scooters.)

Drop your ride off for a flat fix at either our Howard Street shop, open Tuesday – Friday 10am-5pm, Saturday 10am-4pm, closed for lunch 1-1:30pm or our shop in the Bok Building entrance on Dudley Street, Tuesday - Friday 10am - 5pm, Saturday 10am - 4pm.

Hey! We have a couple of the new Gen 3 Tern HSDs on the way: P5i and P10e Sport.

The compact HSD electric cargo bike stuns with its heavy hauling abilities. Load up on groceries, carry a furry friend, or make extended errand runs without worrying about overloading. A long wheel base and an extra-low center of gravity ensure easy handling and stability, even under load. The HSD is more than enough bike for reliable urban hauling.

The HSD is the right amount of e-bike if you want the benefits of a cargo bike but still want the convenience and handling of something less bulky. Lean and nimble, the HSD is shorter than a regular bike yet capable of hauling max gross vehicle weight (MGVW) of 419 lbs. And thanks for the best in class components, rigorous lab testing, and UL 2849 certification, you can count on having a safe, reliable bike.

The HSD fits riders 4'11" to 6'9" and the cockpit adjusts in seconds to suit your riding position plus making it easy to share the bike with other family members. Small riders will also appreciate the low Easy-Step frame design for effortless (dis)mounting.

New HSDs will be available at our Howard Street shop but in the mean time stop in to see what else we have. Open Tuesday – Friday 10am-5pm, Saturday 10am-4pm, closed for lunch 1-1:30pm. We hope to see you soon!

We see more and more of you riding out there - and we love it. Unfortunately so do the bike thieves. We never like to hear about a bike being stolen but sadly it happens way too often. You'll want to make your bike is as hard as possible to steal. We'll help
you choose a better lock from ABUS Mobile Security and give you tips on how to lock up your bike correctly.

Be prepared for the possibility of theft:

1. Have proof of ownership and bike's serial number
2. Register with a site like Bike Index
3. Make sure to have up to date photos of yourself with your bike
4. Get bicycle insurance
5. Personalize your bike so it stands out
6. Always file a police report

You'll find a wide selection of ABUS locks at both of our shops: 1315 N Howard Street and in the BOK Building, 821 Dudley St. Shops are open Tuesday – Saturday.
