Bikegear.co.za is exclusively an online entity. To keep prices as low as possible, we offer a no frills service from our warehouse in Port Elizabeth to both our dealer network and direct to you the customer.
Our philosophy is a simple one. Quality does not have to cost the earth. Neither does good service.
All products are shipped by door to door courier to all destinations in Southern Africa.
Our ever elusive product tester. On a bike somewhere in the most remote countries pushing all our products to the absolute limit. No rain or heat or snow will keep him from finding and then testing the best dual sport products out there so that we can ultimately deliver it to you the customer. Some say he started Bikegear and that on warm summer days you can spot him lurking near the Bikegear offices, all we know is, he is our product tester.
Mostly harmless, except if you’re a monkey or a bigger dog then you will get a right good barking at. Our little mascot keeps us on our toes and generally excels at his very high ranking job here at Bikegear, the job of being the most adorable Schnauzer dog this side of the river. Yes you can really email him if you want to.
Our resident expert on anything with two wheels and all the accessories that go with it. If you have any questions on any of the products that we have (no matter how obscure) Matthew will know the answer. He also makes his own beer and enjoys long walks on the beach…..with a fishing pole and his home made beer.
Donavan joined us in 2014 with a brief to create and maintain this website and look after the creative/social-media/advertising side of the business. A tall order in these days when one is competing with Isis, Trevor Noah and the Kardashians for a piece of Virtual real estate. The rest of the team were apprehensive. We had not had a right -brained person working in the office before. What we asked ourselves, to expect? Donavan arrived, much like his mentor, Batman- exuding an air of quiet mystique. He emerged gradually, as a traveler of the Dark Web, an expert in any and all design programs and a master of digital communication systems. He is also a gamer, gourmet cook and poet in his spare time
On the off chance that your delivery is taking a tad too long, this would be the lady to talk to. She will sort out any problem you have in short order, some heads might roll and mountains might be moved but anything to keep the customer happy. After all the mountain moving, you will find her in her garden taking it easy and only moving trees.
Our number crunching ninja, bookkeeper super star by day, crocheting mom by night. She will sort out any and all account queries with deft and efficiency which, by the way, is the same way she handles baking the best cheesecake you will ever have in your entire life.
The man keeping all our stock in check and making sure all your stuff is correctly packed. When he is not busy with the difficult task of managing our warehouse, you will find him on remote hiking trails somewhere chatting about politics and reminiscing about the good old days when mountains (and therefore perfectly good hiking trails) weren’t moved by logistic ladies.
The resident handyman, having the ability to fix almost anything with proficiency and a friendly smile. After work he still tinkers taking on any repair challenge that is set before him. That sounds like a busy schedule but this jack-of-all-trades also volunteers at his local church, where does he find the time? Rumours of him tinkering on a time machine might not be too far off…
A big music lover, but when he has the earphones in, bobbing away, you better tread carefully, because this jester is planning his next prank attack on the unsuspecting warehouse staff. An expert at making us laugh he is also pretty good at keeping track of all the orders, making sure you get the right stuff in your next delivery.
We still not sure if he has some sort of stock computer implanted in his brain or if he is like Neo from the Matrix and only sees the world in stock codes. Whatever the reason his knowledge of our stock base is the stuff legends are made off. His legend making doesn’t stop there, as after-hours he is creating soccer legends with his volunteer youth league coaching work. .
“It’s not a problem”, this is Matthew # 2’s (as we affectionately call him) motto and creed. No problem is too small or too big for this lovable all “rounder”. He is our driver, packer, problem solver and just a genuinely nice guy. If you ever do visit our showroom listen for the loud belly laugh and the inevitable echo of “not a problem” as we load more problems on his broad shoulders, which we know “is not a problem at all” for our jubilant problem solver.
