Portland Gear Hub
"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!"

An amazing place to support in the local Portland community. Donate your used bicycles, and they will have trained mechanics thoroughly inspect and repair or recycle the ones that don't make the cut each one for resale at fair prices. This is a great charitable way to support your community, and simultaneously help to reuse/recycle older bikes that would have normally been considered as waste. Great people doing great things here!
I can't recommend Portland Gear Hub enough - they did a complete overhaul of my uncle's road bike for me and it came out better than I could have imagined. This was a multi-part project with disassembly and prep for the paint shop Paragon Powder Coating in S. Portland, upgrading/swapping out parts, and complete re-assembly. I am so impressed with their professionalism, knowledge, and overall enthusiasm for this project every step of the way. Gear Hub will certainly remain my bike shop for all my future bike needs. Thank you to Brian, Ainsley, Digory, and the rest of the gear hub crew!!
I hadn’t ridden a bike in over 10 years and was a little nervous to start riding again, but the staff at Gear Hub helped me find a great bike, answered all my questions and made me feel safe. Now I’m really enjoying my new bike!
This place rocks. They have great selection of rebuilt bikes for sale and repair bikes of all makes and models. The staff member I spoke with was very friendly and helpful.
I dropped of my 1976 Motobocane Grand Touring bike for a complete tune up and overhaul. It needed shifter parts that are not available online. They did a fabulous job! I highly recommend them.
Always perfect customer service and by far the best price I town to get anything with a bike fixed, replaced, or just an upgrade.
I traveled a hour because everyone gassed them up, the cheapest bike I seen was like 250$ an it was a disaster, the next few bikes I looked at were all over priced including a gt for almost 700$ keep in mind these are all used bikes repaired with miscellaneous parts. Market place is your best bet,or a pawn shop. I settled with a 2015 specialized hardrock sport for 100$ even,they retail between 450-600$ new. Super quality for this line of specialized bikes. Research first I saved myself 250$ this way from what I was planning to spend.
The crew is super nice and genuine here. Really had a great experience. The staff was not "sales" pushy at all and just treated us like people. We ended up dropping off a bike here for donation which aligns with their business model. They take bikes in, refurbish them, sell them to the public and the proceeds both run the shop and help a charitable organization. Their selection is not extensive but they do have gems which I was lucky enough to find. Prices are firm but very reasonable.
I've had a few bikes repaired there. Very reasonable price. Also I have one I was planning on selling but will be donating instead
Super friendly staff. They always help me find a used part if possible. They're really informative and let me know what's going on with the bike and what the options are. I feel respected there which I can't say about every bike shop I've visited.
