Islabikes (/ˈaɪlə/ EYE-lə /baɪks/ [1]) is a manufacturer of bicycles, primarily for children. The business is located in Bromfield, near Ludlow in Shropshire, England.
It was founded in 2005 by competitive cyclist Isla Rowntree, initially located at Claverley in east Shropshire until it moved in 2010. In November 2014 the company employed 40 people.[2]
Islabikes is known to produce very light bikes where all components are designed for children.[3][4] In 2011 Islabikes introduced one adult-sized model, but does not plan to expand further into adult bikes.[5] Islabikes opened their North American headquarters in Portland, Oregon and began sales in April, 2013.[6] The bicycles are designed in the UK and manufactured in Vietnam.[7]
The company donates a percentage of profits to charity World Bicycle Relief.[2]
