Job Description

We’re Hiring!

Clever Cycles is Portland’s original shop devoted entirely to bicycles as primary transportation. We serve urban households seeking practical alternatives to car dependence—think electric cargo bikes, folding bikes like Bromptons, and family haulers that turn errands into joyrides.

We are seeking a skilled and thoughtful mechanic to join our service team. If you enjoy building and servicing e-cargo bikes, thrive in a high-volume environment, and don’t mind when someone gushes over their Brompton, you might be a perfect fit.

What You’ll Be Doing:
-Build and service e-bikes, especially cargo bikes
-Work confidently with Bosch and Shimano systems
-Diagnose and repair hydraulic brakes
-Build wheels (or want to learn!)
-Provide excellent customer service to everyone from daily commuters to growing families
-Assemble new bikes efficiently and with pride
-Keep the shop flowing in a high-volume environment

What You Bring:
-Prior shop experience, ideally in a fast-paced setting
-A solid mechanical foundation: brakes, drivetrains, wheel truing, etc.
-Enthusiasm for e-bikes and urban transportation
-Comfort speaking with customers and solving problems with a smile
-A willingness to take Bromptons seriously (because our customers sure do)

What We Offer:
-Hourly pay: $20–$28 depending on experience

Benefits:
-Paid sick leave
-Paid vacation
-Partially paid health insurance (company match)
-Retirement plan
-Employee discounts on bikes and gear
