Yuba Bicycles was founded by Benjamin Sarrazin, a lifelong bicyclist who saw the need for a new type of bike while traveling around the world as a professional kayaker in the 1990s. Yuba Bicycles has been producing bicycles and accessories designed for everyday trips since 2006.

In an era of climate change, rising fuel prices and growing discontent with our automobile-centric society, Yuba Bicycles are a clean, healthy, affordable and fun alternative to fossil fuel powered vehicles. In a few short years, Yuba has built a devoted following of customers who use their bikes for everything from carrying kids and groceries to delivering products.
