Sole Bicycles
www.solebicycles.com/Awarded Best in Show at the 2011 University of Southern California New Venture Competition, Solé Bicycles was the brainchild of a group of energetic student entrepreneurs who intended to build the lightest, most advanced and affordable commuter bike on the market. By incorporating existing technologies and manufacturing practices into their bicycle frame design, the team turned its vision into reality.

What customers say about Sole Bicycles
Sole Bicycles are highly praised for stylish design, quality build, and reliable performance, with rare but notable issues around assembly documentation and component durability.
Customers love
- Attractive, lightweight design that looks like a traditional bike rather than a motorcycle
- Durable and reliable performance, including crash resilience and long-term reliability
- Comfortable, versatile for commuting and city riding with good battery life on e-models
Things to consider
- Assembly guide lacks detail; build video needed for clarity
- Handlebar design doesn't match pictures; kinked rather than full curve
- High frequency of inner tube replacements reported in some cases
- Quality control issues: bent frames and broken spokes on arrival
“I bought my bike over 2 years ago and still love it. It looks great and I've had zero issues with it.”
