Tratar Bikes

Tratar is a small company that handcrafts bicycles in Slovenia in quite an interesting fashion. The beautiful bikes are crafted from top quality, locally sourced Slovenian wood and assembled by hand with biodegradable glue to minimize the production’s environmental footprint. The end result is a construction with no visible joints and thus no weak points. The sleek city bicycles are available in two different specifications on the same frame. The single-speed offers smooth simplistic riding with minimal maintenance, and the Kick shift features two gears and an internal brake built into the rear hub.
