The Comox Valley's longest-standing bike shop is now an authorized OHM dealer. Black's Cycle in Comox brings four decades of community trust, deep technical expertise, and a proven commitment to premium bikes to the OHM dealer network.
Why Black's Cycle
Some shops earn their reputation over years. Black's Cycle has earned theirs over generations.
Founded in the early 1980s by Doug Black—a military flight instructor who couldn't find anyone in the Valley capable of servicing his high-end Italian bikes—Black's started as repairs out of a house and grew into the Comox Valley's most established bike shop. That origin story says everything about the kind of shop it is: built from necessity, driven by genuine passion, and rooted in the community it serves.
Carter Larsen walked through the door fresh out of high school, passionate about bikes and looking for work. Doug hired him, and over the next decade Carter learned every corner of the business—vendor relationships, customer trust, technical depth. When Doug retired, Carter was ready. Black's Cycle didn't change hands so much as it grew into the next generation.
That continuity matters. The same smiling faces, the same standard of service, and now an expanded workshop—Black's is a shop that takes the long view. That's exactly the kind of partner OHM looks for.
Why Black's Chose OHM
This partnership didn't start with a sales call. Black's and OHM go back—Carter's team previously worked with OHM during the BionX era, and the relationship never really ended.
What brought it back together was product. Carter was looking for a quality step-through e-bike he could confidently put customers on—something built for everyday riders who prioritize comfort and accessibility without sacrificing performance. OHM's current lineup now includes exactly that.
Black's carries premium brands they can fully stand behind, with the parts availability and technical support to back up every sale. OHM's guaranteed parts availability for 10+ years, combined with Bosch and Shimano drive systems their technicians already know, made the decision straightforward.
About Black's Cycle
Black's Cycle is located in Comox, BC, and has been serving the Comox Valley since the early 1980s. Under Carter Larsen's ownership, the shop has undergone a full renovation and workshop expansion while maintaining the service standard that's kept riders coming back for forty years.
Their team services bikes of all makes and models and carries a carefully selected lineup of premium brands. For e-bike owners, that means local expertise and hands-on support from technicians who know the bikes they sell.
What This Means for Comox Valley Riders
The Comox Valley's geography makes a compelling case for e-bike ownership—hills, variable weather, and communities connected by roads that reward bikes built for real conditions. OHM's All-Condition Ready philosophy was made for exactly this kind of riding.
For riders who've wanted a step-through e-bike with genuine utility—something comfortable enough for daily use, capable enough for the Valley's terrain, and backed by a shop with forty years of service history—that option now exists at Black's.
