The Plantain is inspired by the banana trees in Guatemala.

All of our bikes come standard with a 2-speed internal hub (cable free) and reverse brake, lights, fenders, bag carrier and bell. This keeps with the clean European look and urban performance.

Early Production Models explained
Please note that our early production models do have some minor imperfections and we have significantly reduced the price to reflect it. We are working very hard to improve our quality processes during reconditioning and shipping. What you can expect: very minor scratches or chips to the base coat paint and small dings in the stainless steel fenders. All of these bikes are test ridden for 1-2 miles before they are shipped and totally are safe and fun to ride. If you have questions about a specific bike or frame, do get in contact with us as we want you to be satisfied with your purchase.
