About us

Riders. Mechanics. Reviewers. Repeat.

Hold My Handlebars started as a group text about which fork to buy. It got out of hand. Now we sell specialist electric mountain bikes, build custom rigs in our workshop, and review the whole industry with our own money on the line.

We don't sell acoustic bikes. We don't sell things we wouldn't ride. Every complete bike leaves the workshop with a mechanic's sign-off, and every custom build gets a compatibility check before you pay a penny.
