Their Story
On April Fools day of 1981, Scot Nicol “hung up his shingle” on a funky little shop a few miles east of Mendocino California. On that day, Ibis was started without money and without a plan. Today we’re located in Santa Cruz with 40 (or so) people working at Ibis. Our 5 owners all work full time for the company. Hans Heim is our CEO, Tom Morgan is our president, Colin Hughes leads our engineering department, Roxy Lo is our designer and Scot tries to stay out of the way.
Their Culture
Fortunately, Ibis is not owned by Trek or any other big company. We’re an employee owned company, five of us who work here own 100% of the company. We serve no corporate master!

The new lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the original owner.

Products purchased in 2022 or earlier will be covered by our previous 7 year warranty.
