The Journey of Type Eh: From Pedals to Purpose

The Journey of Type Eh: From Pedals to Purpose

Welcome to the tale of how Type Eh, a name now synonymous with vibrant living and outdoor adventures, began its journey. It all started with a simple yet brilliant idea: Type Eh Bikes, a local mobile rental company designed to help people explore the great outdoors with ease and joy.

The Humble Beginnings

Our story began on the picturesque trails and serene paths of our hometown in Winnipeg MB. We saw a gap—a need for accessible, hassle-free bike rentals that would encourage both locals and tourists to explore the natural beauty surrounding them. Type Eh Bikes was born out of this vision, with a fleet of high-quality bicycles and a mobile service that delivered right to your location. The idea was simple: make it as easy as possible for people to get outside and enjoy the fresh air without the fuss.

Recognizing the year-round passion for outdoor activities in our community, we soon expanded our rental services to include kayaks for the water lovers, snowshoes for winter trail explorers, and kick sleds for those looking to glide across the snow-covered landscapes. This expansion was driven by our desire to support and enhance outdoor experiences in all seasons, ensuring that everyone could find joy in the natural world, no matter the weather.

Evolving with Passion

As our rental business thrived across multiple seasons and activities, we realized that the spirit of adventure, community, and sustainability resonated deeply with our customers. This resonance sparked an evolution, transforming Type Eh Bikes into Type Eh, a broader lifestyle brand dedicated to all aspects of active living. Our expansion wasn’t just about offering more products; it was about creating a community around the values that we all cherished—health, outdoor adventures, and environmental stewardship.

Growing with Athletes and Outdoor Enthusiasts

With the shift from a service-based rental company to a full-fledged brand, we embraced the opportunity to work closely with athletes and outdoor enthusiasts. These partnerships have been instrumental in shaping the products we develop, ensuring they meet the high standards required for professional and recreational outdoor activities. From high-performance apparel to innovative gear like our mesh sneakers and many new concepts coming soon, every product is infused with the spirit of adventure that started it all.

Gratitude for the Journey

As we continue to grow and evolve, our gratitude for your support is as profound as ever. Each step forward is taken with the awareness that our community's encouragement and feedback are what fuel our continued innovation and commitment. It's your adventurous spirit and commitment to an active lifestyle that inspire every product we design and every campaign we launch.
