10 Percent of Our Profits Go to Charity

Why We Donate?

While all of us at Particle want to offer great carbon wheels can be enjoyed by all riders, the truth is that not everyone has the luxury of having a bike, let alone one with carbon wheels. We believe that giving back is the least we can do. For this reason, we have decided to donate 10% of our profits to World Bicycle Relief. 

What is World Bicycle Relief?

World Bicycle Relief is a non-profit that was founded in 2005 that has donated 811,000 bicycles in 21 countries across Africa, South America, and Asia. They mobilize communities in rural and underserved regions. Having bicycles allows these communities to gain better access to healthcare, education, and economic opportunities. They have trained 3,500 local bike mechanics who help to build and service the bikes. The bicycles are purpose-designed

About The Bike

Their bike is named the Buffalo Bike. If you play Zwift, this name might feel familiar. It has improved over the years. The current bike, the Buffalo Utility S2 features an easy to maintain and practical 2-speed, 2-chain drivetrain, allowing for a high gear for speed and a low gear for climbing. Brakes are dual-pivot and corrosion resistant and are designed for better control when carrying heavy loads. The wheels are made width alloy rims and a strong, 3x wheel lacing pattern.

Who Receives Them?

Bikes are distributed to those in need under the World Bicycle Relief non-profit programs for free. Recipients are schoolchildren, health workers, farmers, and other community members who lack reliable transport. 10% of our profits go to donations. for every $165 we donate, the equivalent of one bike, including distribution and supporting long-term impact, can be purchased and donated.

In addition to the bikes provided free of cost, Buffalo Bicycles Ltd. sells bikes at cost in regions where the charity operates to NGOs, businessed, local governments, and in some case individuals. Proceeds from those sales fund further nonprofit work on the ground.
