About us
Our bicycles descend from a historic lineage of the Japanese bicycle. At Charicycles, we up-cycle bicycle frames to promote sustainability and a clean environment while encouraging a healthier lifestyle.
We up-cycle
Up-cycling is the art of taking something that isn’t doing too well and making it perfect again, instead of throwing it out. At Charicycle, we find bicycle frames that have been forgotten and restore them into the beautiful bikes they once were, giving them a re-newed heartbeat and home, while promoting a cleaner environment.
Fun Fact
The world currently produces 3.5 million tonnes of solid waste per day. That is equivalent to the weight of approximately 500,000 African elephants, which is equivalent to their total global population. Basically, we produce, in solid waste per day, the equivalence of the total weight of the global population of the African Elephant!
We customise
Pick the colours that tell us the most about you! Just like your outfit, your ride is a statement about your character. Customise each part of your bicycle to make it an extension of yourself.
We Giveback
Every child feels freedom when riding a bicycle. At Charicycles, we want to make sure every child has the right to their childhood and the freedom that comes along with it. So we promise that every bicycle we sell contributes to funding bicycles for children in refugee camps in the Middle East.
Why Choose A Charicycle
Built With You In Mind
We would never want you to change a trendy outfit because of a bike ride. Our Charicycles have been functionally designed so you don’t have to. The low bar frame allows you to easily hop on and off the bike whether you were wearing pants, a skirt or a Kandora.
Environmentally Friendly
Riding a bicycle is a direct reduction to the world’s pollution. And our Charicycles take it even a step further by having a refurbished frame and a bonus eco-friendly dynamo light, which is solely powered by spinning motion and requires no battery. Allowing you to commute with a healthy body and happy mind.
Durable
Our Charicycles are well known for their Japanese durability and long life. Those practical features are what allow us to up-cycle them rather than use brand new frames. They love the environment just as much as we do. Add a basket, which comes with every ride, and carry your stuff all at once.
