Our Story
Where the ocean breeze meets innovation on two wheels.
Born on the Coast, Built for the Journey
Pelagic Cycles began with a dream shared between two avid cyclists, Mark and Sarah, along the vibrant coastline of San Diego. Inspired by the city's active and eco-conscious culture, they envisioned electric bicycles that not only offered exhilarating rides but also contributed to a healthier planet. In 2018, Pelagic Cycles was born out of a small workshop, fueled by a passion for quality engineering and sustainable mobility.
Our mission is simple yet profound: To create high-quality, affordable, and stylish electric bicycles that empower people to explore their world sustainably. Every Pelagic e-bike is a testament to quality craftsmanship, innovative design, and our unwavering commitment to provide reliable, enjoyable, and environmentally friendly transportation solutions. We believe in building bikes that are not just a ride, but a journey.
From the bustling city streets to scenic coastal paths, Pelagic Cycles is designed for adventure, daily commutes, and everything in between. Join us as we redefine urban mobility and outdoor exploration, one pedal-assist ride at a time.
