3G Bikes

What 3G Bikes does

3G Bikes is a Long Beach, California-based e-commerce and wholesale company that designs and sells beach cruiser bicycles, parts, and branded accessories. Its core product line is high-end beach cruisers offered in men's, women's, and kids' configurations across single-speed, 3-speed, and 7/8-speed drivetrain options, with flagship models including the Venice 7SPD ($569), Newport 7SPD ($729), Newport BBW 8SPD ($989), and Tandem 7SPD ($1,319). The bicycles are designed in Long Beach and built around quality and comfort positioning, incorporating SRAM internal gear hubs and offered with a lifetime frame and fork warranty to the original owner.

The product catalog extends beyond bicycles into model-specific replacement parts and lifestyle accessories — chainguards (sized to specific 3G frames), 3G plate-locked cupholders, BOA-G tire tubes, saddle bags, 3G badge sets, chopper handlebars, and a branded t-shirt — priced between $13.50 and $41. The company is operated as a small private LLC with 1–10 employees, a single West Coast distribution warehouse, and a customer service operation segmented into general, East Coast, and technical support phone extensions. The company is exposed to a supplier-issued SRAM recall on its 3-speed coaster brake hubs, which is a material component-level risk in its 3SPD product family.

3G Bikes monetizes exclusively through hardware sales, distributed via two channels: a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront at 3gbikes.com (FedEx shipping, free shipping promotions on the continental U.S., rush delivery surcharges, and paid international shipping) and a wholesale network of independent bicycle dealers (IBD) across the United States, supplemented by an in-store pickup option. The company actively recruits new IBD vendors and treats the IBD channel as a customer-service asset, relying on individual bike shops to help customers select and assemble the right bicycle. The customer base is segmented horizontally across men, women, kids, and IBD resellers, with no named enterprise accounts and no disclosed revenue, funding, or M&A activity.

Direct peers

• Electra Bicycle Company: Electra is the dominant beach cruiser and lifestyle bicycle brand in the US, owned by Trek. It competes head-to-head with 3G Bikes in the cruiser/niche comfort category across independent bike dealers and DTC.
• Sixthreezero: Sixthreezero is a direct-to-consumer beach cruiser and comfort bike brand with a similar premium-positioned, lifestyle-focused catalog. It is a direct DTC peer competing for similar customers at comparable price points.

• Micargi Bicycles: Micargi is a Southern California-based cruiser, chopper, and lowrider bicycle brand with strong stylistic overlap to 3G. It is a regional direct peer sharing the SoCal beach cruiser heritage and dealer channel.
• Retrospec: Retrospec is a DTC lifestyle bicycle brand offering cruisers, commuters, and fixed-gear bikes at accessible price points. It overlaps with 3G on the single-speed/cruiser category and the social-media-driven DTC marketing playbook.

Broad incumbents
