Description

The Axel is a Sport Utility Vehicle.

Some bike customers want more of everything and this is our answer for them.
The bike has more gears than you need, front suspension, an over-sized aluminum frame, disc brakes, and giant tires. Unlock your inner child and go have some fun, on or off-road.

The Axel is packaged in the Detroit factory with their customers in mind. Home final assembly is a breeze.
Attach the quick-release front wheel, install the pedals, adjust the seat, and you’re ready to ride.

Full tires are important, so we include a free Detroit Bikes floor pump with every order.

Brand

Detroit Bikes

Detroit Bikes makes their bikes right here in the USA, in Detroit, MI. In fact, they are one of the largest bicycle frame manufacturers in the United States, and probably the only ones making truly affordable bikes for everyone. Detroit's most well-known bike is probably the Sparrow, the ~$400 aluminum bike they first launched through Kickstarter. They have recently launched an electric version of the Sparrow, dubbed the eSparrow, at just below $1000. Detroit bikes, especially the Detroit A-type and Detroit B-Type (step-through) models,  are extremely popular with commuters.
