Cardinal Cycling Group, a Little Rock-based firm run by cycling industry veteran Tony Karklins and business partner Martial Trigeuad, has acquired Detroit Bikes.
Detroit Bikes produces a range of commuter and cruiser bicycles built from American steel in a Detroit factory. Detroit Bikes founder Zak Pashak will remain with the company as it looks to expand its urban e-bike offerings.
In February 2021, Cardinal acquired the French carbon bicycle manufacturer Time.
