Celebratingthe Community That Keeps Us Rolling

At Reckless Shipyards, every ride begins and ends with community. From our very first day, we’ve believed that bikes —especially electric bikes — have the power to bring people together. They connect neighbours, empower commuters, and open the door to freedom, health, and joy.

But none of this would exist without the people around us — our customers, local partners, and the greater cycling community that has supported us from the start. This page is a celebration of you: the community that made Reckless Shipyards what it is today.

The Heart Behind Our Work

To us, giving back isn’t an extra — it’s part of who we are. Each time we tune a bike, set up a new rider, or support a local initiative, we’re reminded that our success only has meaning when it’s shared.

Community is the reason we’re here. Every award, milestone, and donation is a testament to the incredible people who continue to trust and believe in us.

What GivingBack Means to Us

For us, giving back isn’t about checking a box — it’s about building momentum that carries beyond our store. Every bike we donate, every school we visit, every event we sponsor — it’s all part of a larger cycle of kindness and connection.

We believe that when a business thrives, it should lift the community with it. And thanks to you — our riders, friends, and neighbours — we’re able to keep that wheel turning.

A Message From Our Team

“The community around Reckless Shipyards is the reason we do what we do. Every smile when someone takes their first ride, every charity we can support — that’s what makes it all worthwhile. We’re not just
selling e-bikes; we’re building a culture of movement, joy, and giving.”

— The Reckless Shipyards Team
