2026 · Direct school support
Help schools now.
This year, 5% of every eligible bike purchase goes to a school of your choice. It is a simple way to support the people and places helping students grow, right in your own community.
Bikes for Schools
Every bike helps carry a student farther.
After spending hundreds of thousands of dollars a month on advertising, our founder began asking a different question: what if we put that money to work doing good — and let the impact inspire people to support the mission?
Bikes for Schools was born from that idea. Put those dollars to work for students, and invite the communities we support to help spread the word. With our customers’ support, we are helping schools today and building our scholarship endowment for tomorrow — one bike, or ten bikes, at a time.
5%
of every eligible bike purchase supports schools in 2026.
Beginning in 2027, that same commitment will build our scholarship endowment.
A big mission. A place for everyone.
One bike. Ten bikes. Every purchase matters.
Every eligible purchase contributes to the mission. One bike at our $2,000 average price means $100 for education. Ten bikes means $1,000. With our customers’ support, those contributions add up — one bike, one family, one school community at a time.
2027 and beyond · Scholarships
Build opportunity that lasts.
Beginning in 2027, we will direct that same 5% into our nonprofit scholarship endowment. Together with our customers, we are building a lasting source of scholarships, with continued contributions and long-term investment helping support students for generations to come.
One million bikes. One or ten at a time.
Ten bikes per school. A staggering $100 million for scholarships.
There are roughly 100,000 public K–12 schools across the country. At our average e-bike price of $2,000, a 5% contribution is $100 per eligible bike. Selling ten eligible bikes for each of those school communities will generate $1,000 per community — adding up to a staggering $100 million for our scholarship endowment. We will build it with our customers’ support, one bike, or ten bikes, at a time.

Together, across the country
$100Mfor our scholarship endowment
$1,000 per school community × 100,000 communities. Built with our customers’ support.
10 bikes × $2,000 average price × 5% × 100,000 schools = $100 million. As we sell one million eligible bikes at that average price during the endowment phase beginning in 2027, we will contribute $100 million to our scholarship endowment. In 2026, our 5% contribution goes directly to schools.
Nonprofits · Share the mission
Support your cause while helping students.
Nonprofits can help share Bikes for Schools with their communities and receive support for their own mission, too. When an eligible bike purchase comes through a participating organization, 5% supports that organization and another 5% supports education.
5% for your organization + 5% for education. The education portion goes directly to schools in 2026, then toward our scholarship endowment in 2027 and beyond. Your organization’s share is in addition to that commitment.
Partner with usHelp the mission reach someone new
Tell one rider. Introduce one school.
You can help by telling a friend who is looking for a bike, introducing us to a school or nonprofit, or sharing the mission with your community. Every introduction brings more people into the effort.
This mission is built with our customers’ support. Every eligible purchase and every introduction helps us move it forward — one bike, or ten bikes, at a time.
Eligible purchases & program details
Eligible purchases. A completed purchase of a new bike designated by Garage Cycles as Bikes for Schools eligible at the time of purchase, provided it is not later canceled, returned or refunded. Contributions are calculated on the net bike price paid after discounts, excluding taxes, shipping, assembly, service, accessories and fees. Educator-discount purchases, closeouts, used or demo bikes, warranty replacements, and specially priced fleet or wholesale orders are excluded unless expressly identified as eligible. Any additional exclusions must be identified at the time of purchase.
Nonprofit participation. The organization’s 5% applies to eligible purchases attributed to that participating organization through the program. It is calculated on the same net bike price and is separate from the 5% education contribution. Contact us to arrange participation and purchase attribution.
The $100 million contribution total is based on one million eligible bikes sold during the endowment phase beginning in 2027, at a $2,000 average net bike price and a 5% contribution. Approximately 100,000 public school communities × ten bikes equals one million bikes. Direct school donations in 2026 are separate.
