About Kuma Bikes
Kuma Bikes was born in Dublin in 2018 from a simple idea: to build smarter, better-looking electric bikes designed for real riders and real streets. At the time, most e-bikes on the market felt clunky, overpriced, or poorly suited to everyday commuting. We saw an opportunity to do things differently.
With a background in product design and engineering, our founder Kevin set out to create an electric bike that combined form, function, and real-world practicality all while keeping quality and sustainability at the heart of the build.
After two years of development and design, we proudly launched our first self-designed bikes from scratch in 2020. That moment marked the start of our own product line, engineered in Ireland and built for Europe.
A major milestone came when local retailers in Rathgar, Dublin began stocking our bikes. It was the first sign that we were onto something that riders and shops alike were ready for a new kind of e-bike brand built on Irish innovation and everyday reliability.

Our Shops & Community
Kuma Bikes is proud to have three dedicated stores two in Dublin and one in Cork City along with a growing dealer network across Ireland. Whether you're just starting your e-bike journey or looking to upgrade, our shops are the perfect place to connect with the Kuma experience.
When you visit, you’ll find a clean, open, and welcoming space where you can explore our full range of e-bikes, ask questions, and get honest advice from our knowledgeable team. It’s more than a store it’s where you get to know the bikes, the brand, and the people behind both.
You can book a free test ride, chat through options, and get expert servicing not just for your Kuma bike, but for most other bikes too. We’re here to keep you rolling smoothly.
Beyond the shop, we’re building a vibrant rider community through our Kuma Cycle Club, where we host local rides, meetups, and events throughout the year. It’s our way of staying connected to the people who make this journey worth it.
