Solé Bicycles: Fixed Gear and Cruiser Bikes, $50 Flat-Rate Shipping

Which Solé Bicycles bikes should you look at first?

Solé Bicycles designs its rides in house in Venice Beach, California, and its FAQ says the founders set out to sell "a well-built, fun to ride, beautiful, and affordable bicycle." The bikes run from coaster-brake cruisers and flip-flop-hub city bikes to e-bikes, and each pedal bike ships for the same flat rate within the contiguous US. Browse all bikes at Solé Bicycles.

The e(24) lists top speeds of up to 28 mph on 24" rims and 3" tires. On the step-through side, the Three Speed Dutch Step Through is a cruiser the shop pitches for "the market or the beach." The Single Speed / Fixed Gear, which its listing calls "best suited for the daily commuter," switches between fixed gear and single speed riding with its flip-flop hub.

The Dutch Step Through comes in one size, charted from 5' 4" up, with a coaster brake you trigger by pedaling backward. Built for "bustling city streets" and "light dirt trails," The All-Terrain 26" completes the five. Riders who commute on pavement can go by the drivetrains the listings publish: a flip-flop hub, a coaster brake, three speeds or pedal assist.

What does Solé Bicycles sell?

Apparel is the shop's largest collection, with T-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, caps and beanies made through Printful, and its accessories include crank sets, saddles, racks, bells, locks and lights. Accessories start lower than apparel: the Sunlite Alloy Bottle Cage costs $9.99 as of Oct. 20, 2026. The Discount Collection and the White Bikes collection complete the shop's counted collections, and the banner on every page reads "Shop the sale now!"

Solé Bicycles publishes 122 products in its full catalog.

Which other Solé bikes can you order, from cruisers to e-bikes?

The shop's FAQ says a coaster brake comes standard on all of its City Cruiser and Coastal Cruiser bicycles. The e(commuter) sits in the shop's on-sale collection, and the return policy states "ALL SALE ITEMS ARE FINAL SALE." For the e-bikes, the FAQ says a full charge of an empty battery takes up to 8 hours and warns "DO NOT OVERCHARGE THE BATTERY." It also asks owners to use only the original charger, in a dry, well-ventilated area.

E-bike tires are the same as conventional bicycle tires, so a flat only needs a tube of the right size. The Single Speed collection page gathers the cruisers alongside other pedal bikes and bike gift cards. Prices as of Oct. 20, 2026:

• e(commuter) — $1,499.00 (crossed-out $1,599.00): a range of up to 45 miles with the Hyena e-bike system.
• The All-Terrain 27.5" — $499.00: 27.5" wheels for city streets and light dirt trails.
• The Coastal Cruiser — $349.00: a traditional beach cruiser "Built for a shorter commute."
• The Step Through Coastal Cruiser — $349.00: a step through top bar for boardwalk paths or campus cruising.
• the Bixby — $369.00: a one-size-fits-all dutch style cruiser with a coaster brake.

Which Lined Up tees come in men's and women's cuts?

The Solé Bicycles store lists Printful as the vendor of each tee. With men's and women's cuts in sizes up to 2XL, the tees suit riders who want Solé gear in their own fit. Browse the Apparel collection for hoodies, tote bags and other tee designs. Prices as of Oct. 20, 2026:

Which caps and beanies does Solé Bicycles carry?

The beanies are 12 inches long and unisex, and their listings note "Blank product sourced from Vietnam or Bangladesh." The five panel cap is a low-profile camper style with metal eyelets, while the snapback is a high-profile structured cap with sewn eyelets. Its listing labels the snapback "One size fits most." Riders picking between the two kinds can go by material: 100% cotton or cotton twill for the caps, 100% Turbo Acrylic for the hypoallergenic beanies.

Across the catalog, 5 of the 122 products list hypoallergenic, the two cuffed beanies below among them. The Apparel collection holds the rest of the clothing, and the Headwear collection gathers more pieces. Prices as of Oct. 20, 2026:

• Single Speed - Black Five Panel Cap — $30.00: 100% cotton with a nylon strap clip closure.
• Single Speed - Black Snapback — $30.00: 100% cotton twill with a green under visor.
• Single Speed - Cuffed Beanie Black — $24.00: 100% Turbo Acrylic, 12″ (30 cm) long.
• Single Speed - Cuffed Beanie Gold — $24.00: hypoallergenic and hand washable.

Which Solé frame size fits your height and inseam?

The FAQ frame chart pairs each size with a minimum inseam, which it calls "more important than height."

• 49 cm (19") frame: riders 5'0" to 5'5", with a minimum inseam of 31 inches.
• 52 cm (20") frame: riders 5'6" to 5'9", with a minimum inseam of 32 inches.
• 55 cm (21") frame: riders 5'10" to 6'1", with a minimum inseam of 33 inches.
• 59 cm (23") frame: riders 6'2" and up, with a minimum inseam of 34 inches.

Riders under 5' 4" are "HIGHLY" encouraged to get sized at a bicycle shop before purchasing. You want at least 1 inch of clearance over the top bar when straddling the bike with your feet flat on the floor. Each bicycle arrives 90% assembled in a large brown box. You screw in the pedals and handlebars, install the front rim, drop in the seat and inflate the tires, with the tools included.

Bikes come as is, so new saddles, handlebars or rims are bought as accessories and swapped after delivery; riders near a store can get swap outs for an applicable fee. Before flipping a flip-flop hub to the fixed side, the FAQ recommends tightening the Fixed Gear cog and lock ring first. For more sizing help, the contact page lists 1-844-336-SOLÉ (7653) and customerservice@solebicycles.com.

How much does Solé charge to ship a bike, and how fast does it arrive?

Orders placed on solebicycles.com follow the shipping policy and the timelines in the FAQ. Outside the Lower 48, the shop ships to Alaska, Hawaii and Canada, with costs calculated automatically from the cart and the shipping address.

Solé Shipping Protection is an option at checkout that costs "2% of the cart value or .98 cents if the order value is under $100." It covers items stolen from a porch even after delivery. The shop adds that "Solé Shipping Protection does not cover a porch pirated or stolen e-bike." Some orders ship as several parcels, each with its own tracking number, and an order containing a Thousand Helmet cannot check out to Canada.

What are Solé's return windows and return shipping fees?

The return policy linked in the shop's footer sets these windows, and bike pages back them with a "Solé Guarantee" of a 30 day return period. To start a return, email customerservice@solebicycles.com with your name and order number, or arrange the shipping yourself.

The policy states "ALL SALE ITEMS ARE FINAL SALE" and lists as non-refundable "Sale Items or items marked as final sale," "Free gifts or promotional items with retail value" and "Damages from an improper assembly." Return and exchange fees are not waived for color differences between screens and the bike. The exchange rates come from the FAQ, which asks you to send your order number as soon as possible if you ordered the wrong frame size or are dissatisfied with the color.

If a bike arrives damaged, the shop asks for an email with the order number and a picture of the damaged parts, then sends replacement parts. When professional installation is needed, it reimburses your local bike shop's receipt to the original form of payment. Thousand Helmets handles its own returns through a self-service Returns Center. Oopsmark refunds its accessories once they come back in sellable condition; return shipping is paid by the sender, and Oopsmark charges no processing fees.

For pedal bicycles, the FAQ gives frames and forks a five (5) year warranty against material and workmanship defects, valid only for original owners in the United States. It excludes components, parts, accessories, paint, decals, return shipping and labor, and a photograph or a professional bicycle mechanic must confirm the defect.

What does a first Solé bike order cost, and can you give one as a gift?

A first order for The Coastal Cruiser shipped within the Lower 48 pairs the bike's price with flat-rate pedal bike shipping, before tax and any optional Solé Shipping Protection.

The shop's bike pages say Shop Pay Installments come with "no additional, hidden, or late fees," carry "Rates from 0%-36% APR" and are provided by Affirm's lending partners. A down payment may be required, depending on the purchase amount.

Prices as of Oct. 20, 2026: the $100 Gift Card costs $100.00, and the Gift Card - Single Speed costs $399.00. Gift card funds must be good for at least five years under federal law, and some state laws give more time, the CFPB says in a page dated Sept. 6, 2024. The FDIC, in a page dated Dec. 2, 2024, says an issuer cannot charge an inactivity fee unless a card has gone unused for one year and clearly states that fee policy.

If a gift card gives you trouble, the FTC's brochure Buying, Giving, and Using Gift Cards, dated Aug. 22, 2010, says to contact the company that issued the card.
