Long established, Manager-run E-bike & Full-Service Bicycle Shop
Business Description
Rare opportunity to acquire a long-established, manager-run bicycle and e-bike retailer serving the active Colorado Springs market. The business has operated from the same location for more than 50 years and has developed a multigenerational customer base, with longtime customers now bringing their children and grandchildren into the shop.
The business sells e-bikes, mountain bikes, gravel bikes, commuter bikes, cruisers and road bikes, along with a broad selection of parts and accessories. It also operates a well-established repair department capable of servicing nearly any conventional bicycle, the mechanical components of most e-bikes, and other mobility equipment. Additional revenue comes from a modern fleet of mountain and gravel bike rentals.
E-bikes are now the largest segment of the business. The shop represents respected national e-bike and conventional bicycle brands and participates in Colorado’s e-bike rebate program. Dealer relationships and rebate participation are expected to continue with a qualified purchaser who obtains the required business and sales-tax licenses.
The shop generated approximately $999,000 in gross revenue and $129,500 in normalized seller’s discretionary earnings in 2025. Revenue has remained stable following substantial growth in recent years. The owners spend only approximately 19 combined hours per week on bookkeeping, maintenance and limited clerical and sales duties.
An experienced manager who has been with the business for six years handles purchasing, inventory, scheduling, hiring and training, pricing, vendor relationships, customer concerns and administration of the rebate program. The staff also includes a mechanic with more than 25 years at the shop, along with additional full- and part-time sales and repair employees. The manager is expected to remain following a sale.
The business occupies approximately 5,072 square feet, primarily devoted to retail display, with three equipped repair workstations, two register and customer-service counters, upstairs bicycle storage and employee facilities. A new five-year lease with an additional five-year renewal option will be offered at closing.
The sale includes the business name and goodwill, furniture, fixtures, repair tools and equipment, computers, displays, website and domain, telephone number, social-media accounts, Google Business Profile, email list, customer database and transferable Lightspeed Retail POS records dating to 2008. Saleable inventory, currently estimated at approximately $100,000 at cost, is additional to the asking price and will be determined by physical inventory at closing.
The business offers meaningful growth opportunities through more consistent social-media and digital marketing, better use of its approximately 4,000-person email list, online sales, expanded rentals, increased summer repair capacity and commercial or institutional e-bike sales. Maintaining more popular e-bike models for immediate delivery could also capture customers who do not want to wait for special orders.
The owners are selling to retire and will provide up to four weeks of transition and training assistance. Seller financing may be available to a qualified buyer. Additional information will be provided after execution of a confidentiality agreement and confirmation of financial capacity.

About the Business

one part-time employee is seasonal - Facilities & Assets
- Business occupies approximately 5,072 sq. ft. in an accessible Colorado Springs location near major thoroughfares, city trails, Red Rock Canyon Open Space, Gold Camp Road and North Cheyenne Cañon Park. The space includes a large retail showroom, three equipped repair stations, two register/service counters, upstairs bike storage, employee break area, employee restroom and shared customer restrooms. Six storefront parking spaces are shared with an adjacent evening business, with street parking nearby. Sale includes all business-owned repair tools, workstations, computers, registers, counters, displays and other operating equipment. Also included are the name and logo, website/domain, phone number, social media, Google Business Profile, email list, customer database and transferable Lightspeed POS records dating to 2008. Inventory, including rental bikes, is additional at cost and will be counted at closing.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- Colorado Springs has a large and active cycling market supported by extensive trails, year-round outdoor recreation, tourism and growing e-bike adoption. The shop benefits from a convenient location near major thoroughfares, city trails and several popular riding areas. Competition includes independent bicycle retailers, a nearby high-end shop and online sellers. This business differentiates itself through an established local name, more than 50 years at the same location, strong internet search visibility, broad parts and accessory inventory, approachable service across price levels and the ability to repair nearly any conventional bicycle or the mechanical components of most e-bikes. Its multigenerational customer base includes longtime customers now bringing their children and grandchildren to the shop.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Significant growth opportunities are available to a buyer willing to invest in marketing and inventory. The shop currently conducts nearly all sales in-store and does limited social-media marketing. Opportunities include consistent digital advertising, search-engine optimization, online sales and better use of an email list of approximately 4,000 customers. Maintaining more popular e-bike models in stock could capture buyers seeking immediate delivery rather than the current two- to four-week special-order period. Additional growth could come from expanding summer repair capacity, bicycle rentals, commercial and institutional e-bike sales, higher-margin accessories, group rides, community events and partnerships with area hotels and tourism businesses.
