Porter Cycles exists to serve the bicycle, cyclists, and bicycle culture.
Porter Cycles designs and builds human powered vehicles of all types, including practical use vehicles, utility vehicles, and carriage trailers for the commercial market.
Porter Cycles’ future goal is to replace the semi-truck+trailer with a human-powered equivalent capable of long distance travel under heavy cargo through all conditions.
Porter Cycles is an active participant of the sustainable-living movement.
