Buying a bike online usually comes with a catch.
A big box shows up.
You open it.
And suddenly you’re the mechanic.
We didn’t love that model, so we didn’t use it.
We Ship Bikes to Bike Shops On Purpose
Instead of shipping your Higbee straight to your front door by default, we use something that already works well: local bike shops.
We work with 300+ bike shops across the U.S. that receive, assemble, and safety-check Higbee bikes.
At checkout, you’ll see your options clearly:
-
Ship to a local bike shop for professional assembly
-
Or ship directly to your home if you prefer
Either way:
-
Shipping is free within the lower 48
-
There’s no penalty for choosing one option over the other
No games. No fine print.
What Happens If You Choose a Bike Shop
If you send your Higbee to a shop:
-
We ship the bike directly to them
-
A professional assembles and checks it
-
They text or email you when it is ready
-
You pick it up ready to ride
This typically costs around more than $250 when done independently, between shipping and professional assembly.
For us, it’s just how the bike should be delivered.
Don’t Have a Shop Nearby? We’ve Got You Covered
Not everyone lives near to one of our fulfillment partners, and that’s okay.
If you don’t see a convenient shop at checkout, we offer a $50 credit toward the bike shop of your choice.
Just send us the receipt from your local shop, and we’ll take care of it.
The goal is simple:
To give you a perfect first ride.
And Yes, We’ll Follow Up
After you place your order, we don’t disappear.
We’ll reach out to:
-
Confirm the shop you selected
-
Help you find a shop if you’re unsure
-
Or confirm that you’d like the bike shipped to your home
If you’re not sure what’s best, that’s fine.
We’ll walk through it with you. Email us at info@higbeebikes.com
Don’t worry. We’re here to make it easy.
Why We Do It This Way
We think it's just being responsible. Your first ride should be fun and safe. You should also have a place you know you can take your bike for service.
If that approach resonates with you, the Higbee Martini is probably a good fit.
And if you ever have a question along the way, before or after you buy, we’re easy to reach.
That part’s intentional too.
