There’s a beach at the far northwest corner of Cape May, New Jersey called Higbee. It’s not on the way to anything. No boardwalk. No lifeguards. The nearest hot dog is miles away. It's just woods, dunes, and a long stretch of sand with a reputation that’s… well, complicated.

Over the years, Higbee Beach has been a hideout for moonshiners, skinny dippers, and kids with cap guns. For us, it was a place of freedom. When there were no waves to surf, we’d ride out there, stash our bikes in the dunes, and spend the day exploring Davey's Lake just to kill time. It always felt a little wild – off the radar and away from the crowds.

But here’s the thing: Higbee Beach is a long haul on a beach cruiser. It’s one of the few spots in Cape May where you’ll see more cars parked than bikes. 

That’s part of why we named our bike Higbee.

First, because it changes what’s possible – making far-off places feel close.

A Higbee bike changes the map.

Second, because we wanted to tap into that same spirit we felt exploring the beach as kids: spontaneous, free, a little wild.

A Higbee bike feels like freedom.

It’s fast enough to make the trip out to Higbee Beach a breeze. It’s light and nimble enough to keep the ride fun. No matter where you take it, we hope it captures the feeling of riding out to Higbee Beach.

Can a Higbee Bike match the liberation felt by the skinny dippers? Maybe not. But honestly, that’s probably for the best.
