Responsible Consumption and Production
To reduce inequalities in our local community, when customers purchase a Dart e-bike we reserve 12% of the profits to provide e-bikes to those identified by one of our partner agencies as needing transportation to work. 1 out of 10 Kansas City residents don't have access to a car, and like most metro areas, the bus also limits his employment opportunities by distance and reliability. We hope to make the biggest impact here - providing upward mobility through personal mobility.

Buying from Dart helps the environment. We take existing frames and add top of the line components, making our E-bike powerful, reliable, and safe. This process keeps bike frames out of landfills and reduces the emissions heavy process of manufacturing and shipping from overseas. Frames are sourced from community partners 816 Bicycle Collective and Revolve KC. Have a bicycle to donate? Please do so through our partnerships at 816 Bicycle Collective and Revolve KC.

Welcome to Dart! We are a team of passionate and diverse individuals that aim to make a difference in the world - one affordabe (and recycled) e-bike at a time. For every Dart bike sold, 40% of our profits are set aside to help provide e-bikes to those without transportation. A lack of affordable and reliable transportation can severely limit earning opportunities and potential. It's an amazing experience working with my team to help reduce this issue, clean up our planet, and keep people healthy.

"As someone who's lived a varied life, my experiences informed my outlook especially towards people less fortunate than I am now. I've been broke and I've been stuck "and" broke was among the worst of my life. I'm excited to be part of a company that can help others in that situation find the right solution for themselves - no handouts, just a hand up."
