First founded in 1946, Kian Hong Cycle
is now a leading bicycle distributors in Singapore.
We represent over thirty cycling brands
in Singapore and the region. Other markets we support include Brunei,
Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and Hong
Kong.
Our growth and success is a result
of our commitment to provide the best technical and marketing
support to our bicycle dealers and after sales support to the
consumers. After-sales support forms an important aspect of our
business. Apart from being a distributor, we are also the
full-service suspension Service Center for Fox Racing Shox.
In the local cycling scene, we are
actively involved in sponsorships of national teams and major cycling events.
This is our way of supporting the sport and giving back to the
local cycling community.
OUR HISTORY
The history of Kian Hong Cycle
dates back to 1946, when our founder Ng Hian Poo started a bicycle
shop at 72 Cecil Street (the present Indian Overseas Bank
Building) in downtown Singapore. With the help of
his two sons, Hian Poo built up a family-based business
from scratch by offering basic bicycle servicing and sale of bicycles and parts.
In the 1960s, business grew
rapidly as a thriving cycling community was born. It also provided
the company with an opportunity to enter the wholesale business. Among the bicycle brands we represented was
Legnano - the Ferrari of the cycling world at that time.
As the company continued to grow,
we moved to a larger
shop at 313 Tanjong Katong Road in the 1980s. In those
days, Raleigh was one of the flagship bicycles we
distributed.
In the 1990s, the company gradually evolved into a regional
distributor as we moved our focus onto a variety of
parts and accessories.
By the mid 1990's, the need for
more space as our number of products grew forced us to moved to a 3,000-sft
warehouse facility at 1 Kim Chuan Terrace.
By January
2005, we expanded further and moved to the present 6,000-sft warehouse
premise with
showroom facility at
Eunos Technolink.
