What Coast Cycles does

Coast Cycles is a Singapore-based, privately held bicycle company that designs, manufactures, and sells premium electric and pedal bicycles under the Buzzraw and Quinn model lines. Founded in 2012 (with commercial operations from 2014), the company is built around a design-led, unconventional aesthetic inspired by 1960s mini bikes, cars, and motorcycles, primarily serving urban commuters, lifestyle riders, cargo/utility cyclists, and custom e-bike builders. Its core technology stack combines proprietary chassis engineering (Unified Rear Triangle suspension, Buzzwalker Linkage Fork, proprietary RS8 8-speed drivetrain) with integrated electric drive systems sourced through strategic partnerships, most notably CYC Motor's helical-gear torque sensing platform (MR series) and Bafang mid-drive motors. Product configuration is modular: each Buzzraw model ships in pedal, mid-drive electric, CYC MR electric, and chassis (frame kit) variants, allowing customers to upgrade or electrify over time, supported by the in-house Coast Components aftermarket brand.
