The best! Timely and friendly bike service. Great collection of gear.

It was the only place with bikes without waiting months when the pandemic started. I bike 5,000+ miles per year. Over three and a half years I’ve walked up twice and had immediate service with flats and new tires and brakes. I would purchase another bike here, if needed. I’ve sent other people here for service.

Very sweet, quick knowledge and helpful. Repaired/replaced my needed bike part in under an hour. Offered plenty of options as well for how parts could be taken care of
The Portland Gear Hub is a non-profit outdoor gear and bike shop powered by Ketcha Outdoor, a 501c3 youth outdoor organization based in Scarborough, Maine.
The Gear Hub is made up of a small group of year-round staff who are supported by hundreds of dedicated volunteers. In 2016 over 500 volunteers helped us sort skis, repair a kids’ bike, or translate a Traffic Safety class into French, Swahili and Lingala. We recycled 5.3 tons of metal, refurbished over 400 youth and adult bikes, and each winter holiday season we have donated over 75 bikes to youth organizations in southern Maine. Our staff and volunteers commute by bike, travel by bike, and love what we do! We hope to share the joy and knowledge of bike and outdoor gear repair with you!
