The call has been made, unfortunately tonight’s Tuesday Night Development ride will be canceled as we are expecting continued scattered showers, wet roads and low temperatures into the evening. See you next time!
The Jakroo store is now open!
Click here to view the store, with some new and returning favourites.
The Jakroo store has dynamic pricing which is a bit unique. The starting discount level for all team members is 20%. As team members place their orders and reach the next discount level, the price automatically drops for everyone, even for those who placed their order before the drop.
Final pricing for each item will be based on the highest discount level achieved for that item. Payment is processed after the close of the order period so everyone receives the same low price, regardless of when your order was placed. Yes, it’s that cool! Also please make sure to use the code “MIVA26” at checkout.
Orders will be accepted through April 30 at midnight, with an estimated arrival on May 21. To save on shipping costs all orders will be sent together and can be picked up at Coal City Cycles. After the store closes orders can still be accepted, but the best pricing, and free shipping, is available during this group order period.
If you need assistance with sizing we recommend the Sizing Recommendation Service provided by Jakroo. Prior to your order you can input the requested information and a size recommendation will be provided to you. If this recommendation is incorrect, you pay to return the unused item to Jakroo (with tags on, and within 14-days of original delivery date), and Jakroo pays to have a new size created for you!
